My only issue with it is that the carts are lagging slightly and it drags down overall impression.
do you mean in the video or in the game in general?

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.

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.

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

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

I was excited to look into this as a game to play co-op on a lan, but as far as I could tell it didn't support multiplayer.

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

a great example to follow

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:

just die already

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!

We have been keeping very busy as usual - spending a lot of time dealing with some nasty memory issues and other non-glamorous things. But to keep our spirits up we started on a new game mode, check out the screenshot and maybe you will be able to guess what it is!

I don't think either that things will change much...However the positive point i find in Obama's election is that it will probably modify, in the good way, the point of view the "rest" of the world has on the US , and it's certainly the best thing it can happen.
modify = change? :wink:

new blog post
been pretty silent over the last week because we have had our heads down furiously pounding keyboards in order to get a build ready for IGF submission. After some very late nights and many eye drops later we have emerged victorious with a build to submit. We made it! Woo!
Along with the submission I have been working on an awesome game manual to submit along with it, you can check it out if you want.

This milestone also marks the start of our closed beta, and although we initially have a limited amount of keys we hope to expand it as we get further in development. If you have a dedicated windows server on a fast connection and are interested in keeping up a ZG server for us, there might be a key for you - drop me a note.
as always, you can keep up with the latest by being in our Steam Group (and you can also just help us climb up the list of games by joining
) -
small update, we now have one of these new-fangled "Official Game Groups" on steam - you can join it / check it out here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/zerogear
Also, I took some new screenshots last night, I replaced the old ones on our media page here: http://myzerogear.com/media.html
