Two years ago (plus a little bit, I missed the anniversary) I was told that my university had booked out a local cinema for showcasing our work-in-progress projects.
At that point I had a barebones homemade engine. Three days later, I had this... thing.

@dngnclub.itch.io's "How's My Driving?" is coming to Kickstarter June 23rd. Prelaunch sign up below!
