I would like to help, but I guess you need people who can play a lot. And I dont have the time to play a lot.

Ive been playing trackmania during lunch for nearly a year! I need a new game!!!

[zaphod]

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

can you change the colour of the gascan in the customization place?

Looks nice btw :]. You should totally do a shopping cart next !

[zaphod]

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

awesome

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://MyZeroGear.com

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

why don't you just let the blog be combined with the news-page - as it is right now. i don't like it too much to have to switch between these 2 things all the time to find out where the updates are at. i don't think it needs to be seperated either - i mean the blog is about zerogear and the content seems to be pretty identical with the news page - maybe its placeholder, though.

i'd say get rid of the seperate blog and just post the news in the news section - makes it more accessiablela (or whatever the word is ) and i think thats your basic idea behind zerogear, right ?!

to the looks: i love love it

like you said it better reflects the games art style and its got rid of all these huuuuuuge buttons and whatnot. much much nicer to look at, imo.

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.
