Prototype Review - Team 11

 

Sonic Robo Blast 2

We are building the ‘SRB2 Kart Radio.’ Instead of a standard steering wheel, it’s a car radio. The idea is built on the irony that the user is ‘distracted driving’ by ‘playing’ with the radio. It’s a joke about how playing with a radio is a part of the fun, especially in a racing videogame where the music a massive part of the vibe.

Mechanically, the ‘Volume’ knob is mapped to the player speed and the ‘Tuning’ knob to the steering. A slide potentiometer is used to control the item usage and drift. By actually sliding the potentiometer, it feels like you are forcing the kart sideways, making it a satisfying experience. The middle zones for all 3 analog inputs are currently neutral zones to help clearly distinguish between states.
