REBOOT Comp entry - Vandamonium (AGK)

[Steve Elliott]

Hehe, that's a cute van.  Well done.   

[blinkok]

Done.
I have a problem now because it's not generic. I'll have to do other designs
I'll do some NPC path stuff to avoid thinking about it

[iWasAdam]

ooo, the mystery machine in purple

[Rick Nasher]

Was gonna say "cute little van" but got beaten to it. 

Very nice, like your style. Always gives that arcade-like feeling also pressent in classic 2d games such as Pacman, but you manage to capture that same feel very effectively in 3d.

[MrmediamanX]

looking good.

[Qube]

He he, love the van At least someone has luck getting textured models into AGK

[Rick Nasher]

At least someone has luck getting textured models into AGK

Yeah, that's really something they can/should improve on.

I mean, I can do it, but compared to Blitz3d it's rather cumbersome.

[blinkok]

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the support.
Back to placeholder assets. NPC's are following paths and recovering from crashes (Prolly needs some more work)

[iWasAdam]

Nice - it says Freaky Mario Kart 

something to think about - if you are going for a cartoony style, then exaggerate stuff. Think Whacky Races. keep the track the same, but make the vans bigger, give one HUGE blobby tyres and make it bobble along, have a nutjob tank with a bonkers commander that fires missiles when challenged. Or a van with bats that bite tyres - just a (mad) thought

[Derron]

Looks good so far.

@Cartoony
Yes, better this than trying to have realistic stuff. So exaggerate here and there.
Maybe have animal drivers and so their vans can be designed according to their drivers - shark fin on the top, spider-van with 6 tires, dog van with slappy ears, pussy van with ...uhm... I think you got what I mean
Still you must think about keeping the drivers "aggressive", "hard to fight" etc - so not too "soft" and "childish".
A dog could still have tattoo "Bone breaker" or a sign "pussy eater" (sorry ) in the back of his car.



@ roads
Do not forget to mark cross roads with street paintings - just to aid the eyes where to drive along.


Keep it going.

[therevills]

Looks awesome!

[Derron]

Yeah looks pretty "sweet".

Suggestion: the tunnel does not have any "shading". So the whole surface looks a bit "flat". Either have some shading (might look incoherent) or add some decoration to make it distinct between ceiling and side walls. Maybe some lamps from the ceiling or cables or ... whatever you can come up with.


bye

[Steve Elliott]

Yeah that looks excellent, lovely smooth 3d cartoon graphics.  I'm sure you'll offer a fullscreen mode when complete, because a menu bar has no right being in a console-type game.

This is coming on really well. Can't wait to see some argy-bargy between the other vans as well. Assume they are going to be a little less rigid in their path round the track. At the moment they are too well behaved.
