Overview

In Momentum - Infinite, the player is thrust into an unending stretch of land that transforms as they progress. Random objects spawn on the path ahead. Some are simple obstacles. Others might be mysterious items that you’ll collect or avoid. Right now, it’s you, the road, and a handful of unpredictable hazards. But soon, the entire scene will evolve once you’ve traveled far enough, seamlessly shifting from a grassy plateau to perhaps an ice-capped mountain, or a futuristic city.

Screenshots

Below are a couple of in-editor and in-game screenshots demonstrating the current environment:

Story & Atmosphere

• Setting: A desolate plain at dusk, with a solitary tree in the distance. The sky reveals a gentle sunset that transitions to deeper hues the farther you venture.
• Mood: A blend of wonder and caution; it’s a world on the brink of metamorphosis, responding to your progress in real time.
• Goal: Survive long enough to trigger the next environment shift, unveiling new terrains and obstacles.

“As you dash across the endless terrain, the horizon teases a new dawn, new mysteries, and new challenges.”

Current Features

  Procedurally extends the ground as you move forward.

Future Plans

2. Advanced Obstacles & Pick-Ups
   • Rolling boulders, rotating blades, power-ups, and collectibles to add variety and challenge.
3. Scoring & Achievements
   • Leaderboards, distance trackers, and milestone achievements to push replayability.
4. Character Progression

5. Evaluation Algorithm
   • Dynamic evaluation report of the environment generated.
