Acumen Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 mh, well as we are in the planning stage for this other hl2 mod I decided to go for another mod now. It's gonna be a Diddy Kong Racing Tribute Mod Maybe you guys have some suggestions concerning the characters choice, that would really help me out. I really want to got for some totally cute animals, but some that haven't been included in the original game. So basically I wanted to keep the system of Diddy Kong Racing, cause I totally enjoyed this games. The little car, the plane and the hovercraft were so different in handling that I don't wanna change this concept. I wanna make unique new levels and characters but with the same cute looks, cause I'm so into this Anyways this is the first vehicle I did, it's not quite finished, once again I missed the most obivous... These jet/ventilator things are not really connected to the vehicle itself, so I'll do that tomorrow, along with the second vehicle ^^ Again, if you should have some suggestions for the characters, just tell me, I'd be glad to hear some (serious) proposals.

Tequila Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Oh man. I've been playing DKR on an N64 emulator, and it's the bee's knees; kicks Mario Kart all over! Good, solid model; best of luck with the mod. Quote
von*ferret Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 nice but you could've saved some polygons here and there. Quote
Minos Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 I like the cartoony look of it, makes it look sweet Quote
DD Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Looks cool! 3000 polys is nothing for a big vehicle in a newer engine, or was that just the name? Anyways looks great! Quote
FrieChamp Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Mario Kart 64 > Diddy Kong Racing The only fun map was stealing eggs from the other players with those little airplanes. Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusch Quote
Acumen Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Posted October 21, 2004 lies, FrieChamp, lies ! I could never be motivated for mario kart, but diddy kong racing made my day. That's the only game I ever played from start to finish - well that and Solitaire And about saving the polies. That's quite right, cause I mean in the end there will be like 8 of these things ingame and then the players with some polies as well, so that's quite heavy. But if I wouldn't have modeled the grid/lattice it'd have 2500, so I wasted 500 polies only for that I mean that's just to show, what I wanted it to look like. Of course I'll do that with some alphaplanes...I guess. Same goes for all these cylinders. There's plenty room for impovement concenerning the polycount, absolutely right. But for the basic vehicle body I wanted to keep the polies, cause I wanted it to look round *runs* Anyways I'm gonna go modeling the cart now. wuusssch \o/ Quote
JynxDaddy Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Diddy Kong racing has more depth to the gameplay, and better graphics. Its total pwn! Quote
Mazy Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 never tried diddy kong racing :G anyway, looks cool ~ Quote
Acumen Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Posted October 21, 2004 yay, next one is "done". I'm not too sure which vehicle I should do instead of Diddy's cart, so I may do a couple of different versions and then choose the final one. We'll see. The first character should be ready tonight. oh and btw. always remember. It's not about what game is better O_o Just about doing a mod in the style of diddy kong :/ Quote
Taylor Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Mario Kart 64 was better than DKR and Mario Kart 64 is the worst of the lot :/ Was still a laugh with a few people, though. Quote
