Chart Physics and Karacter Ideas... er, I mean, yeah.
Posted 2nd Oct 10, by Strife  
Kart physics have been implemented. Here are the features:

- Acceleration/Deceleration and Steering
- Proper wall collisions
- Power sliding
- Particle exhaust

I still need to make skidding effects/sounds, but that's about it I think. Screenshots will come once I have something pretty for y'all to look at.

As for the karts themselves, I'm in the process of reshading my 3D model. Once I do, then I can start thinking about which characters to add to the game. 8 is the obvious minimum.

I have ideas for at least 4 characters, including Ikkin from my FableQuest project since I already have most of her sprite rotations. Aside from that, I think it might be pretty neat if characters from other klik games made cameos as racers. If this is the case, which characters would you like to see tear it up on the tarmac?

Of course, there are limits to which characters I can use. I don't want to re-draw the kart for each racer, so they have to be a humanoid of relatively regular size and proportions. For example, Fishhead would be a good nominee, but the little blob from Coal wouldn't.

So yeah, throw out some names along with the first game they appeared in, and I'll do some research.

You're fast.

It's hard to narrow down who to nominate. How about Henry McAllister from A Man With a Monocle, Solgryn's Blob, the dude from Bombie Zombie, or Tops from Tops the Pig.

Cool great idea. how about Satan Sam, Gun Girl, and Noitu Love?
 
Posted by Strife 2nd October, 2010

I only have two more months to work on games until my daughter is born, so I might as well make the most of it, eh?

Anyway, good suggestions so far. Keep 'em coming.

I second noitu love! Maybe even the girl from iji?
 
Posted by Strife 3rd October, 2010

When you guys say Noitu Love, do you mean the guy from the first game, or Xona Rap from the second? Either one seems like a decent candidate.

I also did some searching myself, and I'm considering these characters as well:

Bonesaw
Elektroid
Fishhead
Lyle (Lyle in Cube Sector)
Mia (Eternal Daughter)
Spiderhead
ZEB

I would like to see Fishhead, Satan Sam, Spud and Caol
 
Posted by Jon C-B 3rd October, 2010

I would rather have Noitu Love from the original game.
 
Posted by alessandroLino 4th October, 2010

The dude from Bombie Zombie and GunGirl would be great

TOPS THE PIG. So much.

Also, what if you included a character based on your new daughter as a being-born present? She could play the game when she gets older and realize what an awesome dad she has.

Hahaha! Yes, feature your daughter in the game! This game being completed would be like a birthday present, of sorts.
 
Posted by Strife 4th October, 2010

I'm not sure how that would work out, actually, because I have no idea what my daughter looks like, or will look like when she's at least a teenager. But the suggestion itself was really heartwarming, so thank you.

As for the character suggestions, thanks everyone! Let me know when you get more ideas. Once I've weeded out the plausible choices, maybe I could start a poll or something on the forum.

You're welcome to use Mr Stump if you wish. Also this is looking great, and can probably help you contact owners of the characters you would ideally like to include in the game.
 
Posted by Strife 6th October, 2010

Ooh, I'll keep that in mind, Chris.

As for Mr. Stump... It might take a drastic change in his appearance, but I could add him to the nominee list anyway. I'll have people vote for their favorites at some point. :3
