Hey guys.
I'll keep things short, but feel free to ask questions... Smkdan has joined the Epic Racers team, so we have an ASM hacker on our sides now, letting us make greater things. We're quite happy to have him with us, and he'll help us break many old limits we had. Have a look at the newest version of the character selection screen (by the way, I posted the previous version here): Screenshot: Video: And for the record, Epic Racers is still far enough from being released. The main big thing holding us from finishing it is the making of our new Super Mario Kart editor, without which we can't remake the tracks the way we want them. |

As always Stifu that looks sweet. I especially love the background for the character select. Ive always been more of an old skool Mario Kart fan so I look forward to this. ____________________ Deviant Art Profile |

Actually, that's a good question. Would be interesting if each character had their own special power, though it could potentially make some characters more useful than others in more contexts than not.
Anyway, I'm very impressed by this select screen. Very orienting and not too gimmicky in the least. Character portrayals look gorgeous. Do keep up the great work! |

The Jesus driving on water has been asked times and times again...
I took it mostly like a joke, but if you mean it in a serious way, then I think that'd simply be impossible to balance. If someone can drive over water, that'd mean he'd have to be weaker than others on other points, naturally... but what if you're on a track with no water ? Then your water skill would be useless, and you'd be at a serious disadvantage. There's also the fact Loki would have to share Jesus' skill, else you would no longer be able to select a perfect "clone" of Jesus, in 2P mode. As you know, drivers go by pair, sharing the same stats, that way 2 players can pick a driver with the same stats if they want... In other words, technically, it's as if there are only 4 different drivers that you can pick twice. Yet water driving only makes sense for Jesus. Just saying that but it's not a big deal, as in Street Racer, drivers don't share the same stats, so you can't always pick a driver with the stats you'd like. We could have it the same way, if we wanted. Lastly, water is the same as lava in SMK, so you'd also be able to drive over lava... unless we somehow managed to differentiate the 2 by hacking around, like on a track-specific base. |

Let's just say he can walk on water but not drive.
Great job, though. Is this the first 'real' SMK hack ever? ____________________ |

Posted by Raccoon Sam Not sure what qualifies as a real hack, but GlitchCog and Dirtbag are both working on "full" SMK hacks... Posted by blackhole89 I actually thought of having a "Super Jesus" with a code, who'd have the maximum stats in both speed and power and all... But I don't know if that's even possible for us technically. Clearly not a priority, anyway, easter eggs are for finished games. Posted by blackhole89 In case you missed them, you can find the latest (2006) in-game screenshots on my site... Those tracks have been done with TrackDes, but will all be scrapped in the end. |
