When I first saw the track I said to myself

What the fuck is this monstrosity of ass and bologna?

I like lists, you like lists too, right?

The Good Stuff


    :award:
  • It looks amazing, really showing off what the new engine can do.
    :award:
  • 25 people
    :award:
  • having a lead editor fix shit parts.
    :award:
  • Some really clever sections.
    :award:
  • Proper use of copy/paste tool.
    :award:
  • Spacing between the towers, looks vaguely like worn down Manhattan.
    :award:
  • It's pretty drivable, some parts are abit iffy.


The Bad stuff.


  • 5x5x24:
    24 vertical levels is alot to cover, especially when you only get a narrow space to work with. It's constantly spiraling up and then back down over and over and over.
  • It's way too long for the style of track.
    Even 20 would have been too much.
  • Not much variation in styles and speed.
    Uphill was mostly random tech; downhill was either spiral of death or small diagonal transitions.
  • The first 24 are interchangeable, none of them feel like a start/middle section. The finish is rather amusing though.
  • The ground and lower canyon are nearly completely unused.
  • No reuses.
  • No big jumps/omg butt clench I'm gonna crash shitshitshit.*

=======================================================================

Most of the sections of "bad stuff" are really just consequences of the first.

I kind of want to start a project like this myself, though if I were to make all the sections completely uniform, I would go with 7x7x12 or 10x10x6; stacking them either two or four high.

Other ideas:
5x5x24 stacked ten high (Ultimate Spiral of Damnnation)
random variations of ~600 cubic blocks(Puzzle pieces)

Whoa. 43 minutes. SO SO long. So epic. Mildly fast. And I'd like to see how those tires wear real time - I don't think they'd make it past tower 11.
Btw: Why is my tower number 5? I think there are harder towers after mine...

there isn't :d :d


Sez you. Your tower, a 5x5x30 grid, starts with 2 red boosters. I fail to understand how is that easier than mine.

You know why I missed a checkpoint on my first run?

Cause your part :d

You did a good job with the signs eyebo (y)
but, turbo is a bad idea in a mini-tech track :cool:
I almost drive it the wrong way at one spot becouse it feelt wrong when i drive so i want back 8-| and i am glad i did, i think it was at about 20 minutes maybe, but then i got starting to understand your signs so i went back from doing a misstake and drive it the correct way and i even learn how to sign my tracks if i remember :p, but it was a releaf to see the timer stops in the end, and not like tuta - the timer didn´t stop =p =p =p

Yes, poor Tuta :$

Thanks for your comments Spider. :)

And nice list Fallout. ;) Only, you are wrong about one thing. There is actually several reuses. Perhaps they're not that obvious though.

Here's some outtakes from different angles I tried before deciding on the final screenshot:













And a widescreen unedited wallpaper version of the screenshot that was used for the track page:

I really love the first angle, but indeed the one you used for the screen is more fitting :)

lol ddbb =p

When we do a Stadium one, it will probably have to be smaller. The grid is smaller there. I've already committed to doing it though.

I told PapyChampy I would do a Stadium one if he joined it, and he said he would. So now I'm stuck with it. ;)

But now we don't have unlimiter, and Stadium is a little different with different blocks and a different gameplay. I'm not sure we would do towers or do something a little different. I'll have to experiment a little to see what layout would work best.

For now I have several other projects to finish up. But I hope to start a Stadium version in the coming months for sure. (y)

Then there's Valley too.... (l)
