Hi everyone,

Just completed my latest track "L0RD Melchett | 004". It's been rated as Extreme but would probably be rated Hard for the first half and then turns Extreme as you get nearer the end. My first 3 tracks (thanks for the messages saying how much you enjoyed them!) were quite basic in construction; I am learning more in the level editor every day, and they didn't involve much in the way of physics, clever lighting or background scenery. To start with I just wanted to get the playability up to scratch. This latest track has had a lot more time and effort spent on it. The obstacles are a bit more clever. One of the obstacles is my first attempt at making use of the Physics setting and means you have to use a bit of logic (only a small amount, mind!) to complete the obstacle and move on. It's quite simple but gives you an idea of where I'm hoping to be going for future tracks. Also, I've tried to enhance the atmosphere with a bit of decoration and clever lighting. I'm really pleased with the results, hope you are too! One other quick thing: When you start, the bit rate is really slow. Not sure why - there's not that much going on but you know, I quite like it really - it adds a bit of drama and suspense as you disappear down the tunnel!

I think the medal times are realistic based on my testing of each section and doing a bit of maths but I'm quite slow and rubbish, even at my own creations, so my best at the moment after 3 full goes is 8:06 minutes. Be keen to know if anyone gets Gold or [gulp] Platinum!

Impressive! I love your tracks M'Lord

Hard, technical and good looking is all I ask, I don't care much for beginner and easy tracks. I am definitely keeping an eye open for your next release, just awesome.

Great technical tracks, I like them a lot regardless of being horrible at them

Nice work on the scenery, lighting and obstacle ideas on the fourth one, though the pure blue light at one point was a bit irritating (maybe because I got stuck there haha) those ascending platforms near the end took me the most tries, I think I finished with > 200 tries or such

Hi everyone,

Well, I'm starting to get to grips with this Level Editor thingamajig and have just completed track no. 5. Cleverly titled "L0RD Melchett | 005", it's rated Hard and I think it's my best effort yet. In response to a few feedbacks received on my previous courses, I have added a few more checkpoints to this one to help get you through the tough sections. Let me know what you think, whether you enjoy it or what I could do to improve it. All comments and criticisms gratefully received!

Oh, whilst I'm here. A few people also commented on my Extreme course "L0RD Melchett | 004". The main criticism being what was I thinking when I created that railway hump thing where you have to power over the sleepers to stop from getting stuck in them. Hah, well if it's any consolation I don't like it either and am thinking of changing it to something less reliant on power and luck to get over. In the meantime, here's my tips on how to get over it with the least amount of swearing...

From the checkpoint: To get over the first two metal beams lying across the track you need to accelerate across the train line leaning back, then flick forward and backwards quickly when the back wheel is on top of the runner to hop across the two girders. After this come to a complete standstill on the sleepers when your front wheel is level with the middle of that blue electricity box. Then lean back, full acceleration and power your way to the top of the hump. You should do a slight wheelie all the way up it and at the top is a metal plate across 2 of the gaps in the sleepers so don't worry about falling through at the very top, you won't. To get down the other side is easy, again lean back, full power and jump to the bottom and you should stay on ok. It usually takes me 5 - 10 attempts to get over. Will let you know when I update this course and remove this silly obstacle, probably later this week.

I've seen your times for the official tracks, I can't imagine any of my creations would give you much difficulty! ; )

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated and glad you like them. Cheers!

Your fifth track is excellent, one of the best tracks I've played so far. great job with the camera and lighting this time too, looks great. One problem I had with the track though was the camera angle right before the high climb jump part, the camera goes inside the wall right when the bike is reaching the bottom of the ramp which makes timing a quick wheelie and push for the ramp annoying. The track was much easier than 04, and was sort of as difficult as the default hard levels, which I like. Seems pretty fun to time trial as well.

You're not the only person to mention this. I have rectified the camera angle now so you can delete your current "L0RD Melchett | 005" track and replace it with the new, improved one!
