Continuing the saga of Moria and Dani, Dani's Race is a Free / Libre video game, where you play as the brother of the main character of Moria's Race, Dani. And go with him on various adventures in the Dune Town.
Features
OPEN WORLD

For Moria's Race ( a prequel short film to Dani's Race ) a whole city was modeled. So a decision was made to use that same whole city for the world of Dani's Race. Unlike other Free / Libre racing games, where each racetrack is its own model. Every racing or other event in Dani's Race is happening in the same world. And therefor there are no transitions between roaming around and doing a mission.
VEHICLE CUSTOMIZATION

Expanding upon Moria's Race, Dani's Race introduces more concepts that were only vaguely referenced in the movie. The garage that was seen only from the outside now accessible and with that a whole range of vehicle modifications are accessible too.
RACING

This game contains surprisingly intense racing events. Due to the game being Open World, the racing evens are checkpoint based. And the player can do any number of other things while the race is happening.
DAMAGE MODEL

Since there were a few crashes in the movie this game is based on, the game has a damage model for the vehicles, which is not trivial. Cars are separated into parts, each with their own health. And some part effect steering and performance more than others.
STORY

Since the game is a continuation of the movie, it has a story too. And because the game is Open World it is an extra challenge for us to make the story as seamless with the game world as possible. There are no cut scenes, no loading screens. The story beats just happen naturally within the game world.
CINEMA

The game is based on a film and therefor it makes all of the sense to include a working cinema, where player could watch films. But the cinema is not limited to the Moria's Race movie. You can play there any video from your computer.
MULTIPLAYER

Even thought the game is designed to be played in the single player mode, there is a multiplayer mode that you can access to play together with your friends.
POLICE

The game is not a low stakes racer. Police is patrolling the town, and will chase you for you shenanigans. And it is especially fun during races.
