you bastard, first I thought my monitor broke and then I was trampled.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

new blog update:

http://nimblebit.blogspot.com/2007/12/i ... color.html

got a color picker hooked up to the material system

yea, thats totally planned, this is just the first thing we hooked up in one night to see how easy it would be to do.

intentional. there will be a multitude of skins.

ah thanks for the link! I had seen screenshots of this but I never heard it was actually out. It seems like a more visually polished Kart Rider clone, so free to play mmo style with people paying for accessories.

We are kind of leaning away from that model right now, and more towards the kind of game you would find on steam, with user-run servers that people join to race. The kind of persistence setup and management of users that goes into running an mmo sort of operation could easily be over our heads.

Also, at least in Kart Rider - both of us found the actual game play mechanics and item design to be very lacking. I am anxious to finish downloading this one to take some notes on it.

I'm kinda disappointed, I tried to play that game but when I tried to log in, it just leaves a blank screen. Maybe it's not actually running yet.

anyway, I did a few wheel variations just to have for testing wheel swapping. I also added some color to be user customizable. (in this case it's set to a yellow color)

I think next I'm going to try mocking up some html for what some parts of the UI might look like.

these new forum buttons confuse me

anyway, I decided to pick up WoW again, so as a result I am putting the project on hold for the foreseeable future . . .

just kidding! I have been busting my balls becoming a css guru in order to code up our gui's. I have almost finished a tabbed menu for browsing and choosing different karts / hats / wheels / etc. I just have to finish polishing it up and then I will post a working version, which will work the same way in the engine as it does in your browser which is cool.

Also, for some reason when I first tried posting a reply it sent me back to my first post . . . haha I'm kind of embarrassed of the images I first posted to start this whole project
