go-kart model

thats a good idea too! You guys should help me with more ideas for characters . . . there is a limitation in that they have to be humanoid, and the have to be able to share the same basic body and head shape so that all the customization bits work across them all.

It would be cool to do a ghost that is white and transparent and it looks like his gloves and accessories are floating on him

It's a neat idea, his head would not be very lizard shaped though, and his eyes would have to be close together at the front like everyone elses instead of towards the sides of his head.

Brian got some of the rest of his network prediction smoothing code in last night and we were driving around with 3 people, the physics of the karts for the most part looks really smooth and awesome. There is still plenty of work to be done but I think we are off to a great start! I'm excited to make the video this weekend and show you guys!

ahahaha I just pictured these huge pinchers gripping the steering wheel, that would be the most awesome thing I have ever seen!

could you release something like a front/top/side render of the reference pose and have us do a little creative brainstorming concepting?

this is a great idea too, I will try and throw something together when I have the time ( been very busy! )

ok, I was up late last night making a new character poster

Do you actually have such hair technology as seen on the viking helmet in the picture or is that a cheap trick by your marketing department?

SHHHHH!!!

we had our lan party playtest last night, it went really well!

Brian has been working a ton of hours getting the networking portion of our game far along enough to have our first Zero Gear play test, which we hosted at a LAN party this weekend. It seemed to be a great success and everyone seemed to have a great time driving around their characters even if we didn't have any real race rules in place yet. I was able to grab a lot of footage and I pieced together a little video, click the image below:
