Fx 2049er - New track I need feedback on | Forums

[Fexelein]

Hi guys,


I was playing with the idea for a while until I decided to give it a go. The new track I'm creating is based on a very old computer game called Miner 2049er.

The objective is to ride the entire track to be able to finish. This means covering all ground on all levels.

Currently platforms the rider hasn't touched are red, touched platforms are colored green. When all the platforms are green you can proceed to knocking over a barrel of water that puts out a fire blocking the finish.

I could use some help here and there, and the track is merely a test at this point. But, in this topic I invite you to have a look. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Use this info to get the track from Track Central:

Hey man, just gave your track a go. Here's what I liked/didn't like:

Good: The idea is interesting, although if I hadn't read this thread I would have been confused. Reminded me of graffiti mode from Tony Hawk.

The ramps changed color well and the barrel explained why the fire went away.

There is some background decoration, but it does seem rather random though (a pile of logs and a basketball hoop/court?)

The game mechanic seemed to work correctly, but I didn't test it out completely. I did notice that you can't go past the barrel (nice catch).

Badecoration seems a bit odd, as in why is there a pile of logs, bleachers, and a basketball hoop? Not the worst, but not that interesting to look at either.

You have floating ramps. This doesn't look good.

This would probably be better as a skill game. It doesn't really fit as a trials track since you are stopping and going back and forth pretty slowly.

not a fan of elevators and I know many that share that dislike.

There wasn't any logical connection between making the ramps green and the barrel exploding. It's nice to see stuff happen the way you expect it too. for example, the water falls and puts out the fire is nice and works the way you would expect. The ramps turning green...I don't really know what I would expect to happen from that

I tried your other tracks. I much prefer your regular trials tracks to this one.
