Visual highlights from the game's identity, development, historical inspiration, and player experience.
The Southern Bathtub Racing Game logo reflects the project's visual identity and its connection to the historic SPSU bathtub-racing tradition.
The game recreates the atmosphere of bathtub racing through a track and environment inspired by the Southern Polytechnic State University campus.
The project draws inspiration from actual bathtub-racing karts, preserving the engineering creativity and campus traditions of the original SPSU event.
Joshua Young, Thomas Powell, William Pitts, and William Urvan continued development during Spring 2026, extending the inherited project with multiplayer functionality, testing, documentation, and continued-development resources.
The project demonstrates more than gameplay—it represents collaborative development on an inherited software system.
The Spring 2026 team began with an existing Unity project and had to understand its architecture before safely extending it.
GONet provides synchronization for multiplayer game state using a host/client architecture.
Steamworks.NET supports lobby integration for hosting and joining online races.
The Spring 2026 team improved computer-controlled racers to create more robust and challenging gameplay.
Development included multiplayer testing, requirements documentation, architecture materials, release preparation, and continued-development resources.
The project incorporated input from the KSU–SPSU Alumni Association to support the historical and development direction of the game.
The Spring 2026 Southern Bathtub Racing Game team earned 1st Place in the Undergraduate Project Competition at Kennesaw State University's College of Computing and Software Engineering C-Day.
