MAXIMUM UV SPACE

holy crap that is one packed uv map

[Thrik]

Awesome texturing.

[Gorion]

Damn, skills right there! Also ship looks really nice

This morning I woke up and realized we had no 4th of July themed hat, so I took care of that

Also, a very enthusiastic Zero Gear fan (ok, my wonderful girlfriend) decided to make an entirely physical version of our sock monkey character, complete with a Zero Gear butt-label! Awesome!!!

Have a happy and safe 4th of July everyone!

Zaphod, you may very well be a game design god.

barnacles!!

haha, these vehicles are full of so much character they actually become the character for me.

[dissonance]

So when can I buy one?

[Furyo]

You know each update you post has me smiling, but the butt logo was just too much I'm still actually giggling typing this. You have an awesome design right there, both the game and the merchandising. Please go all the way, take all the time you need, and release a gem. You've gone this far already, I want to see this game enter the IGF and win major awards

[zaphod]

Thanks for the confidence Furyo This has turned into the most personally important creative thing I have ever started, and I am going to use every bone in my body to make sure it gets finished the way we envision it.

here are some starfish on a sand dollar wheels for the pirate ship (or any kart)

brilliant stuff. it must bring a tear to your eye to see people getting so involved as to making knitted monkeys

[zaphod]

updates will be slow for a little bit . . . I am doing some other contract work so I don't become destitute.

[zaphod]

It has been a little while since we posted an update - Brian has been a little bogged down moving to another apartment in San Fransisco, and I have been slightly derailed doing some non game related contract work to bring in some more development funds.

But here is just a little feature we got working last weekend, a "look-back" key that you can press to check out what it going on behind you. I think it will be very useful!

I think it goes a bit to slow. Looks cool anyway
