How Star Wars: Galactic Racer Was Built

from Game Maker's Notebook Hosted by The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences

Adam Orth chats with Matt Webster, Co-Founder & CEO of Fuse Games and Craig Derrick, Executive Producer at Lucasfilm Games. Together they discuss how the Star Wars license allowed them to create a racing game not tied to tires on asphalt; why and how they implemented roguelike elements into the game design; track design and making each race feel like a roller coaster; and creating game feel with both mechanics and atmosphere.
