Zero Gear - an indie multiplayer kart racing game

this is not entirely related to the game per say, but it gives me an excuse to bump this thread! Brian got some Zero Gear t shirts for his b-day. Brian not pictured in photo!

yea those two look really cool - I think this one is up there too: http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entry2009.php?id=688

small update, I wanted to test out youtube's new HD video so I took some quick shots of another "goal" game mode map I am working on:

**EDIT**

Beta spots are full for the moment, we will open up more again in the near future

started working on another kart, just finished texturing it, now I have to do all the fun stuff to get it into the game.

yea, that will be one of the custom colors. I will probably make it a darker red for the default color.

small update, things have been pretty quiet the last few weeks as we are doing some re-writing of the network system, keep an eye out on the blog for more on that soon. I took advantage of some of the down time to give the Zero Gear website a face lift: http://%7boption%7d

I think it better reflects the game and our style, let me know if you find any issues with it.

because a lot of people already follow the blogger blog, so I don't want to change the feed or url - also I didn't want to muck with setting up wordpress or something on my own hosting. Just one more thing to break and I am not a web developer

*edit* I dunno, actually reconsidering now. It would be nice to have it all one one site. I have found a lot of word press features that I like and found out that is is possible to export all your blog posts and comments from blogger to wp. I will probably mess around with seeing how easy it would be to add all the WP elements to my new layout.

just finished doing a new character. this one is a silly sally, he looks quite ridiculous in all our hats and accessories.

I just finished editing a trailer for the game that will hopefully be posted on our IGF entry page, take a look.
