    I'm glad you liked it. I know what you mean about the ramps. The first half of the track can be taken with very little slowing down, but the last half is a bit more slow paced. It's very difficult to run the whole track without stopping, but it's rewarding when it works.

    The easiest way to fix this is to simply reduce the hills in the foreground using "inverted" river beds.

    I felt the camera made this track a lot harder than it needed to be, particularly while speedrunning it.
    This. Plus i felt the environment lightning changed too quickly at the very beginning, might want to soften that up a bit. Minor issue but overall not such a bad track.

    Yeah, I wanted the lighting to change a little more smoothly, but I guess I'm still getting used to working with the area condition tool. Also, great top run! It's not easy to get under 1 minute, and I probably only got sub 1 minute runs a couple times during testing.

    Well, I have a track basically ready to upload, but with track central in shambles, waiting seems to be the best method.

    I'm glad you liked them! And yeah, I don't think I'll upload this until I see the ratings are starting to get sorted out.

    New track in the OP. Details as well. If you play it, and have feedback, it would be much appreciated as always.

    I'm glad you liked it, and yeah, I have found very few good tracks to play lately. The exceptions have been very nice, though.
