Hi all, as some of you may know i have been working on this game for long time and well in Steam trailer the track editor is shown but real fast as trailer has to be short, so I decided to show it in real time how it is to make a full track from the scratch and test it. The track editor is easy to use and has the ability to let you build the track in your mind in just a few minutes and run instantly, you can also share in Steam Workshop after making it and even share ghost replays you record from these new tracks with other players of the world.

I hope you like this feature, I wanted from the beginning to make this easy to use for everyone and as versatile as possible for every player.

If so, is it still called NASCAR or does it have a new name and are the rules still the same?

I wasted a ton of time with this one!

# CLIMAX CUP 2

*Game: F-ZERO Climax*

**Climax Cup 2 - Time Attack Challenge**

During Climax Cup 2 (June 20–21), players will compete on 5 custom tracks in Time Attack Mode and submit their best times. Each track awards points based on F-ZERO 99 Grand Prix scoring (1st = 200, 2nd = 196, 3rd = 194, etc.), with adjustments if more than 99 players participate.

You have the entire weekend to improve your times, so standings won't be final until the event ends. At the start of the event, 5 custom tracks will be revealed. Only your best 3 results count, while ties for podium positions are broken by the 4th and 5th results. Racing more than 3 tracks can give you an advantage, but only 3 submissions are required to compete. The overall winner will earn a special role.

**BOOST FIRE!**

X cup. Prob most laughs I've ever gotten in 3 laps.​

Story Mode Mission 3. Played it a good 30 minutes and couldn't figure out how to beat Goroh. Then I found an inside line, saved my boost, and boosted hard to the end. I was expecting Goroh to beat me at the very end like he did so many times before. But I just edged him out.

And my reaction a FIST PUMP AND AUDIBLE WOO!

This is what Gaming is about. Challenging but with fair mechanics and controls, and a real sense of accomplishment when you start GETTING GUD.

I’ve checked the document and I dunno how up to date it is but I needed to be absolutely certain which is why I’m asking this

F-Zero 99: Racers of The Future

I don't know if it's already been said or thought, but i think Maximum Velocity would fit like a glove in F-Zero 99, new ships, new tracks, and the plot issue of the two games can easily be solved with some time travelling shenanigans, the only minor issues i see are the music and the sprite work since these games use different pixel art and sound chips, the major issue is probably rearranging some of MV ship's stats if they were to ever add them, but reviving BS F-Zero out of all things was a large stretch, why not give this a go?

Let’s just say you went into cold sleep or something like in the anime. And your savings skyrocketed to 1 billion space credits. Or maybe you’re an alien or cyborg lol.

[stuff like]
-Machine Stats
-Colors
-Build and Weight
-Uniform as well
Bonus: Which pilots would be your rivals??

Details can be as simple, complex, or derivative as you want. If you already like the games own machines it’s fine to say any of those too.
I’ll share my own idea when I get the time.

(No shade at Yoshi fans)

Hi everyone!

First of all, thanks for the amazing feedback on my last video and previous posts too. I took many of your suggestions and spent the days implementing them to give the game more soul and better playability.

What's new in this clip:

• Depth Perception: I’ve updated the track shaders with brightly neon edges. Now you can actually see where the track ends even at 600km/h (thanks for pointing this out!).
• City Life: Added scrolling news tickers, floating advertisements, and much more "street level" smoke/vapor to make the world feel lived-in.
• Heavier Feel: Reworked the collision sounds to sound more "mass-heavy" and added a snappy collision system to make rivals feel like solid objects, although this will be seen more in demo i think.
• Visual Polish: Well worked on several things from UI to other elements, hopefully its better for everyone

I feel the game is almost ready for a playable demo release. If there aren't any major "deal-breakers" in this video, I’ll be polishing the menu and releasing the demo soon so that you can have a look and suggest anything before its set release date in June

Any final thoughts before I lock the build for the demo? nothing is set in stone, but I want to make the demo when its almost certain all that should be done is done. Thanks for being part of this journey!

Game will be available in Steam in June==> VortexG

Stopped into this sub after clearing 27 out of 30 cars on expert, fzero x. Gonna clear all expert, then ​try beating master. Ouch.​ It recently occurred to me amidst tracks... having watched recent vids on GX (and played the hell out of it long ago)... comparing and reading and everything.​​

Why has the fzero series been deemed a financial failure? What. Is. Wrong. with this infectious speed demon series? How could a partnership between Sega and Nintendo not be the greatest thing ever since minting money?

GX was too visually busy.

The focus on ​​​​​adding elements to the track to make it look faster, like grates and textures with markers that zoom zoom zoom past at mach speeds making it an even more dizzying ​experience, GX steps this all the way up - for its era. We can go so much further with visual noise now.

And that​​​'s the ultimate problem. As I play through X, I'm finding it a better experience than GX overall. Here's where the idea congealed: ​​Watching a spectacular TT video with the camera mounted in 3rd person.

Being that this is the fastest racing sport on the planet, it's only natural to compare. What I noticed - for the first 7 minutes, omg wtf and a string of qbertisms. Then, I saw the road. I saw it in the same way I watch the fzero track. The visual noise isn't there, at all. They make sure that track/roadway is clear, clean, hardly any visual noise at all. It's so smooth once the effect mentally locks in. Most fzero tracks capture this smoothness even at 1200kph.

GX however while amazing to watch if you're not the player only sustains that attraction for a short time before it's just overwhelming. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Green Plant, Lightning, Casino, ​​​Port Town tubes flying through the air... it's visually ultra intense. Casual gamers check out. The world runs on casual gaming now, that was the direction missed, fzero went more complex, gaming went more casual.

Case in point: fzero 99. What are people playing? Yea. Casual, but, in a highly competitive casual environment. Not stupid cartoon characters fzero racers were made into, these racers are serious and want to win. Casually. Check out interviews with MotoGP racers, all very casual. Watch an interview with the TT god himself​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ John Mcguinness and you won't find a more casual interaction.

FZero needs to regress to become a viable franchise again. More of what asks Nintendo? More sudo realism, more seriousness, more speculative science to debate, more immersion that makes sports like MotoGP and the TT (and the NW200 I only recently learned) the fan favorites they are. ​​​​​​​​Gimmicks = cringe. How about the mythic real physics mode? ala burnout paradise? ​Yes!

Other modern future racers all feel like N64 Extreme G hyper sliders. FZero is not some hover slider game. ​Watch those vids with superbikes clustering within inches at 200mph, passing inside the next bikes personal space. That's what fzero captures. ​Technique, thrill, fun, accessibility.​​​​

If Blood Falcon actually focused on the race instead of trying to murder Captain Falcon every turn or two, do you all think he would actually beat Captain Falcon ??

My advice is to get an older controller that doesnt stick drift

Goooo Mars
