This port of Desert Bus includes a faithful color palette, day and night cycles, Mode 7 road rendering, and eight hours of not-so-action-packed automobiling!

Thanks! I used a stripped down version of my Mode 7 engine and also made a shader image for the night cycle to use to make distant terrain look darker. As for the colors and graphics, everything but the road was stripped from the official Desert Bus Spriter’s Resource. Unfortunately due to the lack of colors at the end, I could only use the red for the sand.

Hey, can I use your Mode 7 style engine because I’m going to make a 3d racing game

Yes! I have a separate forum post about a more advanced version of the engine too. You might want to consider checking that out.
