I know I shouldnt do this, but I'm kinda disappointed on what little feed back my game got despite all the work I put in. Also, I have a caffine headache, so I'm probably not thinking straight.

Calling pople out is pointless, so yeah, there really isnt a need for me to do it, so dont worry about anything like that comming from me.

I'm mostly putting this up as a friendly reminder to check my game out, I mean I wanted it to appeal to fans of anime in general, or Mario Kart or RC Pro AM.

This is probably one of the few Mario Kart clones that has gotten THIS far into production with one man doing most of the work, of course getting coding help here and there. Again, if you played one of the earlier demos I put out, you must try it again. I didnt take all of the suggestions light-heartedly. All the new features are in the game's description page.

I guess I could use this topic as an FAQ, you can ask me anything you want on this project. But right now, I suppose I should answer the questions.

Firstly, the game description page is here - http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=4727

Secondly I'll explain the character choice. All four of the characters from the respective shows pretty much got me into anime, not to mention other people as well. Goku and Serena/Usagi pretty much started the bar of anime in other areas outside of Japan. So what about Ash and Ranma? Well Ash is my favorite anime character, well rounded nice guy who slips up every once in awhile, I kinda relate to him, especially when he just doesnt get whats going on.

Ranma is there because it was the second anime I ever liked (Yes, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball came last to me) even after all these years, I hold this series over the creator's other big-time work, Inu Yasha.

You're probably thinking that its a strange mixture of characters who would just randomly board a go-kart and fling turtle shells, erm, sorry, electrodes at each other, but if you think about it, it does seem like a good mixture

Ash/Satoshi - Monster Trainer
Ranma - Martial Artist-to Be
Goku - The Super Strong Man
Serena/Usagi - Magic Girl

Not to mention all 4 characters have some strikingly similar characteristics. Cocky, gluttonous, dumbfounded, compeditive, helpful chums.

Thirdly I made this into a kart game for a few reasons. My most favorite genre of video gaming has to be character kart racing. This is pretty much a shoutout to all the character kart racing games out there. Also, most anime games in general are just generic, unbalanced Street Fighter clones. Sometimes an RPG or a puzzle game. When has there been a kart racing game?

Think about it
RPG Puzzle Fighting
Pokemon (Various) (Puzzle League) (Smash Bros.)
Ranma 1/2 (Black Cat) (Yes ) (3-4)
Dragon Ball Z (Few) (Cant think of any)(Uh, no?)
Sailor Moon (Pretty Soldier) (Bobble thing) (3-4)

Now thats homework, isnt it? Although you might say Smash Bros. doesnt count for Pokemon, but I say its so, I'm just trying to prove a point. I think making a character kart racer, using their super awesome moves and putting it into wacky situations would make a stellar kart racing title. Which is why I think the special attack bar (Taken from Sonic Heroes and Sonic Adventure 2) sets it apart from other racing games and makes an appropriate tactic addition to the genre.

I'm free to answer more questions if any.

Too much reading just so you can advertise. It's only a demo, relax. Maybe when you're finished it'll recieve the attention it deserves, but I for one never download/don't give a shit about klik demos.

1 - i'm almost 19 and i think Pokémon is cool too. It's a matter of personality, not age.

2 - The demo is great, though i think music would be cool, as well as more realistic car movement..apart from that it's neat.

I like anime, but I don't like the shitty americanized crap in this game. Pokemon (after the first series), Dragonball and Sailor Moon all suck filthy pygmie rectum. Ranma˝ is cool, but only the series; the OAVs and movies are bleagh.

It's kinda anime, it's just written, directed, and produced by some american company, but they farm out all their animation to some studio in Korea I believe.

The closest to american anime would be the original Fox Batman cartoon, that series is still one of my favorites of all time. I would say teen Titans too, but that's done the same way that Girl spies or whatever show is done, the animations farmed out to a decent animation company.

The characters from Cowboy Bebop should be added..
Trigun characters should be added..
Lupin the Third and Jigen are cool too, so they should be added also..
