Trip
Sorry, but I suck at explaining stuff :P
I only got to test the first release so far (without internet again
Cheers..
I have to explore first what the game need for kinds of graphic-formats
So ,I have tested this little Game and for an Alpha it's nice.![]()
Track's are a little strange because of isometric Buildings and not isometric track field but I know it's a Alpha.
And it seems, that I have no driving talent, never was 1. :lol:
A Track-Editor would be great. In the way of the old DOS "Stunts" aka "4D Sports Driving" -Anyone know this superb classic Game?
Other suggestions:
-arrows or a kind of hint where the right driving direction is
-and "wrong direction" hint
-a little bit better Overview in the Maps (Minimap somewhere? maybe with little "dots" for the other cars in? )
-yes, better graphics. I know a little Photoshopping but I have to explore first what the game need for kinds of graphic-formats and how all that work together (or not). Seems, rokdcasbah and the others are quicker with that then me :lol:
-jumps, dirt, bridges, "GP2X"-banners on the Tracks, people you can drive over....um.... sorry...^^
Ok. the 3. File is for Buildings and things to cover the cars when you drive behind. ^^I have to explore first what the game need for kinds of graphic-formats
there are three files, one called trackX, one called trackXmask, and one called trackXoverlay, where X is a number. they are png files. i believe the game will load both indexed and true color pngs but the indexed are way smaller obviously. the mask only needs black and white pixels and tells the game where the car can travel. the overlay sits on top of everything and doesn't influence collision...any black pixels are treated as transparent. the remaining file has most of the artwork in it. i was able to make a track using photoshop's path stuff and using "stroke path" a lot but i think i'm going to try with illustrator next, as i always seem to get better results with that.
