Sunday Drive was the first game I posted to Newgrounds in about 15 years back in February 2023.

I made it for a couple of reasons;

1. I wanted to make a project I would actually finish. So I decided to make something with a really small scope that I could complete in a couple of weeks max.
2. I wanted to learn my way around GameMaker.
3. I wanted to be able to point to a project that wasn't a decade old when I talked to people about making games.

Because of the learning aspect of this project, it is a little clunky but this morning I spent a little time just fixing the major bugs. There is a lot that can still be improved on here but I didn't want to tweak the whole game and I like this version as it is because it demonstrates my progress as a developer. I just wanted to fix the parts that made it unplayable.

I think the game is still quite fun. It also features what I consider to be a bit of an early version of the comedy later featured in Mazza and Politics although much tamer. I originally was going to call the game Twatmobile but ultimately decided to go with something a bit cleaner haha. I think if I made this game today I would have just gone with the original title and ramped up the comedy aspect. Maybe I will do a Sunday Drive 2 at some point and correct these wrongs. :)
