f1d: a retro 1-dim racing game

For the first project of our 4.043 Interactive Intelligence Design Studio class, Jonny, Milin, and I made a fun little game. Here’s the full design crit deck here.

Design Process

Here were my earlier sketches:

We also tried out a bunch of different controller interfaces but settled on a pot. Here’s our cardboard prototype:

After we got a good feel, we started designing some versions of the hold:

I then converged on one design (with Fusion) for an actuator so we could have some fun haptics:

And here’s how it came out:

Here’s a fun video we recorded for it.
