    smokin411 .:: Gavel Run ::. first video released

    Hi all,

    Some may know me, most may not. I created a new extreme track called Gavel Run. It basically started out as an experimentation with lighting, as I have never created a dark track but always wanted to. It might look darker in the video but in-game the track is easily visible. It is also the first track I've released using DLC objects, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve on how I created some of the stuff in the video.

    I am mainly an extreme track builder, up to this point, but I think I will be changing directions to the medium/hard/hillclimb area. I have some really cool ideas that the DLC unleashed with the coming of all the new tools.


    Gamertag: smokin411


    Gavel Run :: Extreme
    --------------------------
    Explanation above.


    Relentless :: Extreme (no link yet)
    --------------------------
    A classic extreme track with limited physics, very sturdy
    and one of my best for making medal runs.


    Groove'n :: Extreme (no link yet)
    --------------------------
    Visually one of my best extreme tracks with very good obstacles.


    Smooth Blue :: Medium (no link yet)
    --------------------------
    This is a track which I crammed as many physic phenomenons
    as possible into a track. (for its time)


    Tight Maneuvers :: Extreme (no link yet)
    --------------------------
    This track is just that, tight maneuvering. You'll be
    slamming your joystick left and right.


    Look Out :: Medium (no link yet)
    --------------------------
    I created this track soon after I started building tracks with
    ambition but with limited knowledge of the technical aspects
    of physics. You might see the monsters' physics near the end
    falter which is annoying, but I didn't have the heart to
    change/remove them.


    Rude Maneuvers :: Hard (no link yet)
    --------------------------
    Ah, this was my first good track during the time of "hmm could I make this.."
    into "wow, I can't believe the editor can do this!" Def a classic.


    I will be making videos for each track in the not so distant future. The tracks are listed in no particular order, whatever came to mind first.

    That video is insane! I am amazed at that first loopty loop jump. It would make for a killer ski jump skill game.

    I agree with both of you. The first ten seconds of the video had me sold. I'll FR in a little bit.

    Wow, thanks for all the positive replies!

    One thing I should mention, some of those parts shown in the intro are not necessarily part of a released track yet, although most are. I like to make these insane ideas, then build the track around them.

    Okay, I've had a bit of time to try a lot of the tracks..

    First thing I have to say is that I love you use of physics. I'm not normally a physics fan, but the physics in Smooth Blue are very smooth. The openings of several tracks are a nice use of physics too. My favourite part so far is the bike powered vehicle in Smooth Blue.

    You're also very creative, and your tracks all show your creativity very well.

    My one suggestion would be to add more checkpoints. I ended up quitting several of the tracks because of the lack of checkpoints. Also, the second checkpoint in Groove'n doesn't work when you ride past it.

    I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
