Description
Midnight Drive is a personal experimental project I developed while learning vehicle physics and car simulation in Unity. I built the car controller from scratch without relying on pre-made vehicle controllers or plugins, using the project to understand acceleration, braking, wheel movement, steering, and other fundamental vehicle dynamics. The prototype features a realistic 3D car driving through a detailed open-world city environment at night, providing a playable and immersive driving experience. While the physics still required further refinement, the project successfully established a strong foundation in vehicle-system development and gave me practical experience building a functional car controller from the ground up.

Highlights
Custom Car Controller
Developed the vehicle controller from scratch, without using pre-made car-controller systems or plugins.
Vehicle Physics
Implemented core driving mechanics including acceleration, braking, steering, wheel movement, and vehicle handling.
Open-World Driving
Built a playable driving experience across a detailed nighttime city environment, allowing unrestricted exploration by car.
Physics Learning Project
Used the project to gain practical experience with Unity vehicle physics and establish a foundation for developing more advanced car simulation systems.
Immersive Night Environment
Combined detailed environmental assets with nighttime presentation to create a visually engaging setting for free-roaming driving.
