Zero Gear - an indie multiplayer kart racing game

no, Ogre is LGPL

not many people really use GPL which requires open sourcing your entire project, since that is kind of silly and a lot of people wont use it.

you are right, it isn't stupid. It just doesn't suit the needs of as many people as many other licenses would.

Skullkar lives!!!

I don't know whether you're going to have different behavior for your karts or if this customization is only looks, but have you thought about having bigger slower but less destructible ones? Ice Cream Truck, A-Team like van, etc ?

[zaphod]

the visual kart customization will be separate from behaviors, for gameplay and game design reasons. But you will be able to tweak the physics of your kart such as weight handling, etc. I would like to brainstorm some visual effects for how those sort of tweaks could also influence the look of your car, things like the more power it has the bigger the rear wheels are, or if your kart is heavier we scale your entire kart slightly up, etc.

Don't know how we will handle it for sure yet though.
