D.R.I.V.E – Pen to PC 2 – Part 1
Hi Everyone,
Today marks the start of our second Pen to PC Blog which will be covering even more of the progress which is being made on D.R.I.V.E, though this time instead of just focusing on Car Models, we’re going to take an in depth look into what goes into making some of the scenery and architecture which will make its way into the D.R.I.V.E Virtual Environment. But first, a bit of housekeeping, but then all into Pen to PC 2.
Since the last installment of Pen to PC we have grown as a team quite rapidly, we have welcomed a new vehicle modeller David (oddracer996) to join Helmy (CLR) in the pursuit of making fantastic vehicles for the game. We also have new concept artist Edward (edwarddippolito) who has been designing some breathtaking buildings and scenery for use in one of the major towns in D.R.I.V.E. I would also like to welcome our programmer Daniel to the Team, who has been working alongside Alistair (Fyfey96) and Quinny (NightVantage) on vehicle physics, HUD’s and the in game menus. One last thing before we move onto what we will be looking at in the second of our Pen to PC Blog’s, Input Games is still hiring, so whatever you think you can bring to the table, feel free to tell us and apply on our forum, just click the link above or head to www.inputgames.co.uk/forum.
Right, on with the Blog! What we have here is another of Helmy’s vehicle drawings, the CBE Aptery GT. With a mid engined V8 and a lightweight design, the Aptery will certainly shift, a 0-62 time of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of well over 170 miles per hour guarantees that this CBE is no slouch. Though this car isn’t just about outright speed, it is also going to be luxurious, with a plush leather interior and a classy, minimalist design. The CBE Aptery GT is for the keen driver who wants a fast sports car with GT car levels of comfort and refinement. At the moment it may only be a sketch but David is already hard at work turning this drawing into a fully fledged 3D Model ready for use in Input Games D.R.I.V.E.
Next time on Pen to PC Blog we will be taking a look at one of the building concept drawings and continuing to explore in greater depth, how David is getting on with the CBE Aptery GT.

D.R.I.V.E – Say hello to the Torrudo R666-DC Finale
Hi Everyone, it has been a Month but a lot of work has been going on at Input Games, there is currently 5 more cars being developed, a new town for the Island being modeled, and a new dealership which will be used to buy and sell cars for in-game money. Read on for the big news.
The big news though is that the Torrudo, the car which featured in our Pen to PC series is finished, as shown here in “Giallo Fiammante” (Blazing Yellow for the rest of us). It is so close to being in a drivable state which we cannot wait to show you all.
This gives me the ideal opportunity to tell you about the first public trailer for D.R.I.V.E, which is to be put together in the coming weeks and will feature this stunning example of an Italian designed super car and more of an insight into the landscapes being created by our Level Design Team.
Best Regards,
