    Re: Blackbird56695's Tracks

    Played your tracks. First thing I'm going to say, the number one thing to think about when making tracks is "is this really fun to me". As long as you like it, thats what's most important

    That being said however, you say you want to be better and please other players, so hear are some suggestions

    Need water- lots of crazy zip turns in the driving line. As a general rule, avoid super quick turns all the time. If you DO use them, decorate the track well enough so the turns are obvious. Don't put an obstacle right at the turn where they will most likely crash into it because they can't guage the right approich leading into it. Another great thing to show where the driving line is going is to use the terrain mod. You can place driving line textures on solid ground to eliminate confusion. Also, most of the obstacles were just tiny jumps popped into the dirt. The obstacles could've been more fun if they were more elaborate.

    Endure- same advice with the zip turns. I saw massive slowdown in spots, be careful how many effects you use all at once. Often times the effects completely shrouded the field of view, which places a great deal of trust in your hands that you won't screw the player over when they can't see. My main piece of advice is about focus. I know you wanted the track to be long, hence the name endure, but the environment seemed constructed out of anything and everything. Sometimes you can take a few liberties here and there, but when making the environment, just ask yourself, "does this belong here?". Will the player "get it".

    This all sounds probably very negative, but I'll tell you I've played FAR worse. Keep it up.
    These things can be very tricky and even time consuming, but it's worth it if you want to make tracks that others enjoy.

    Heres a link to info on my tracks if your so inclined

    Re: Blackbird56695's Tracks

    Gonna fly is a good basic skill game, nice job. But don't let go is broken. The game doesn't end when you touch the ground, nor does it end when you bail out. It needs fixed.

    It's very important that you be thorough in testing your tracks and games to make sure there are no holes in it.

    Nice job on gonna fly though, you didn't get the first one right but you got it eventually. Next you should try adding extra afterburner for skilled flyers who can reach them if they are good enough. This is very similar to a skill game in the first trials.

    Thanks man.... Yeah gonna fly now is very simple. With Dont let go!!! that does end if you reach the the checkered line, just over the logs doesn't count, i meant to take bail out off on that one... I think im still sloppy with some things lol

    Been a long time blackbird . Due west is, I think, your best submission so far because it has an attractive theme. I thought the driving line could've used tuning though. All in all, I enjoyed the track though. Nice job, congrats on your first success

    Ps- I still think skyrun is a land of a lot of missed potential. Worth tinkering with some more me thinks
