Drive your vehicle on a remote alien planet.

Remotely.

WASD to drive, escape to return to the main menu. The main danger is flipping your vehicle; if you do flip, you'll have to start over.

I would've entered the compo, but I couldn't figure out how to replace the vehicle mesh without breaking the game :(

Someone had an issue where the game would crash; if you're encountering a problem and are on a 64-bit computer, you can try using a 64-bit version of the game, at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B91hbwT8cr00dEc5QjVabFZqS0U/view?usp=sharing

Also, if anyone has tips regarding making a UE4 game smaller, please let me know - 850 MB is a little extreme for such a small game.

excepting the fact that the game has 2GB (800MB archive) ...
it crashes on windows 7 x64 when i press "play" button :(

i never saw any Unreal games so far.
are there special requirements ?

Shouldn't be any special requirements. The size is a bit of an issue, I'm not exactly sure how to cut it down. When I get home I'll try uploading the 64-bit version, maybe that'll work for you?

graphics is gud..

I liked it. It's a big game. I've played other big unreal entries though and they are all pretty big.

For small games and web-version better use Unity. Movement mechanics from racing car not suitable for uneven surfaces. I don't know what makes game so huge, but can suggest that you import to the game too many assets or your terrain have extreme resolution.

I love how bouncy and atmospheric it is. The rover reminds me a lot of Mass Effect 1.

Good work...

Hey did you start from a template? If so you need to un-link the example map to remove any starter content not in use. The starter content take ~500 MB

Alic Szecseiauthor11 Dec 2014, 17:52

Yeah, I didn't include starter content for exactly that reason, and I deleted the example map as well. It's probably just the size of the landscape, unfortunately - I'll be sure to decrease that if I use UE4 to make another LD game.

I am kind of confused how to open and download the file

On the top bar of Google Drive, you should be able to download the zip archive. Extract it, and run WindowsNoEditor/Rover.exe.
