Development and release
changeAccording to the game's director, the idea of "Driving in Tehran" first emerged in 2002-2003 from Sarhang Esmaeeli, one of the prominent figures in the Iranian Police Force. The game cost around 1.5-2 billion tomans (approximately $2,000,000) to produce and was said to be using SRP's in-house game engine. The game was funded by the Iranian Police Force and the ministry of industry, and was further supported by various Iranian corporations, some offering over 100 million tomans in exchange for in-game advertisements. The most notable of these companies was IKCO (Iran Khodro Co.), who ended up having a big influence on the final product. [1] [2]
First copies of the game were rumored to appear in early 2006 at Elecomp, an Iranian electronics exhibition. [3] Due to issues with this release, the retail version of the game was delayed, with the game appearing in stores at around April of the same year. [4]
Gameplay
changeThe gravity was cranked up, which is a lazy move in racing games to make the car more stable. The physics were really glitchy which caused invisible collisions to happen.
The game lied about the whole creation of District 6 (out of 22) in Tehran when only 5% was added to game. Some alleyways were skipped and full detail was ignored. There are renders in the game files which made the game look a lot more reasonable but they were cut out for the final product.
The AI traffic is known to collide with your car while performing unrealistic driving conditions. When a AI car hits you the game makes a bugged sound and can make your car glitch, flying around.
The rules in this game were not clear, and the game crashes when you run over pedestrians bringing a black screen with Iranian text saying “You shouldn’t play with people’s lives”.
