Make your own game
District Run was built by Nick J with the Cinevva game creator: describe the game you want in chat, watch it get built, and play it in your browser minutes later.
Remix District Run opens the real game in the creator and forks its actual files, chat and design doc, so you start from the code rather than from a description.
Read the build brief for District Run
Cinevva's analyzer read this game's design doc and its source, then wrote the brief below. "Make your own" hands it to the game creator as your opening message, so you start from a real spec rather than a one-line idea.
Create a playable third-person 3D urban action sandbox called “District Run.” Use a compact square city district about 116 by 116 world units, viewed from a smooth over-the-shoulder camera: on foot, camera about 8 units behind and 4.3 units high; while driving, about 13 behind and 6 high. The player is a blocky Kenney-style character, visibly low-poly, exploring paved dark roads laid out as a regular grid across green ground. Roads have short yellow center stripes, with light gray sidewalk pads between them. Surround the roads with repeated low-poly commercial buildings and taller skyscrapers, plus simple green trees. Use a bright blue sky, atmospheric fog, soft shadows, and stylized low-poly materials. Load or approximate blocky character, citizen, truck, police cruiser, and commercial building models in this visual style. The core loop is exploration, vehicle theft/driving, shooting, police heat, and four sequential short missions. Spawn the player on foot near the center of the district. Spawn several parked or moving civilian vehicles (green, blue, and other truck-like cars), three police cruisers, and around 18 wandering citizen pedestrians. The player can approach a nearby vehicle and press E to enter it; the character hides and the camera follows the vehicle. Press E again to exit beside it. Entering a vehicle marks it stolen and raises wanted level. On foot, WASD or arrow keys move relative to camera orientation, Shift sprints, and Space jumps. In a vehicle, WASD/arrows steer and accelerate/reverse, Shift boosts acceleration, and Space brakes. Support mouse/pointer-lock camera turning and left click or J to fire simple visible yellow projectile spheres in the player’s facing direction. Firing raises wanted heat and projectiles can damage hostile lookouts and cars; destroyed cars disappear. Implement the four missions in exactly this order, each represented by a rotating yellow torus ring on the ground and a translucent vertical beam, activated by approaching the yellow marker and pressing E: 1. “Courier Drop”: description “Drive any vehicle to the yellow drop zone.” Place its marker at approximately (42, 0, -42). Once activated, complete it when the player is driving and reaches the marker. Reward
