Zero Gear - an indie multiplayer kart racing game

I think the issues you have with the minimap will be sorted out as we implement it. We are considering taking a snapshot of the tops of each character to use on the minimap as well.

We are trying to put together the minimap in flash, usingHikari

If Using Hikari for all these gui elements ends up being viable, then we could also let people drag around each gui element and position it wherever they want, which would be pretty cool.

Skjalg - I really like the idea about being able to choose your chat color, There are a number of things throughout the game I think we could easily open up to customization and that is a perfect example.

*edit* also I can't see the image you posted

Steam would be our absolute first choice for distributing this game

You can lobby valve if you want, I have already tried

new blog post, we got our minimap created in flash by eeenmachine into the game and working, check it out!

I am not sure I like the wheels better like that. They seem so flat now compared to everything else on the kart.

This is a revised GUI mockup of how we want the garage to function. This will hopefully be another GUI programmed in flash, and will feature floating elements that can be positioned by the user. Hopefully you will be tooling around in this garage soon!

oooo, I really like the time right underneath the position. It could probably go under or over the lap as well. The map in the top right looks better too. I will be playing around with something like that.

Yea I was going to go to the bookstore today and see if they have it. Friggin 15 bucks imported from the uk

you got a scanner?

*edit* I can't find the magazine anywhere

whipped this guy up this morning:

Quote from Bic-B@ll

the horizontal stripes are too perfect, they need to conform to the knitting better

the texture scaling on the tail looks weird

the mouth line should look more stitched in

sorry, cool though

yea, those are the same issues I have with it too. I will see how much I can fiddle with it when I prep it for the game, otherwise it will have to remain imperfect for time's sake.
