Hey everyone!
The new game has been out for well over a month now, and I too have finally finished my first map! ( after countless iterations and trying to find a
a style that fits the new visuals well.) Compared to older Stadium titles, this games is a lot more clean, with less clutter and details on blocks, which makes sense for a fast paced racing game but it made it hard for me to really find a style that resonated with me. I first tried going for very stylized, barebones looks, with no detail at all, but ended up adding more as I expanded the scenery, resulting in quite a conflicting look.
However the route itself is quite simple and boils down to pure fullspeed racing, with very few transitions, a low learning curve and some reactor boosters, to allow you to drive on the ceilings. Hunting comes down to the first corners unfortunately, which results in a lot of resetting, but there is still some time to be gained towards the end, so shaving off a few hundreds is very much possible and in the spirit on the track.
oh yeah and I usually play with low graphics settings, so there are may be some random green stripes that I didnt see when building (I think the setting responsible is texture details, but I'm not sure)
AND thanks to Sapphiron for the screenshot!
