    Thank you D2 I appreciate that. I am trying to do better and learn each track.
    I have a track coming out around the 12th, as part of HRG tribute build with fleskeknoke/ROBO.. Thats going to be a easy medium, not my best DL, Decor and Theme felt a tad restrictive to the line on that build. but hopefully should still be a bit of fun.

    O
    ther builds I have two to four in the works, and a ton of other ideas floating around. Its just getting them out..
    Hoping to avoid Triggers and events as much as possible after Catharsis..Uhh, it was like a crazy web. I don't like thinking about it. The one that ill be starting next I putt off in anticipation for some DLC objects, Thats the only reason Catharsis exists lol..

    Thanks for running all of my tracks Dead, Glad you enjoyed them. Hope I can keep improving..

    lol, gotta agree with murder on this one Ozy, at least the part about getting the 360 back. Your 360 is softly calling "evo,,, evo"...
    I had the H.R.G. track finished before I started Catharsis. The only reason Catharsis got made was I needed a break from the Alien track.....
    The dislikes are starting to mount up quickly on the alien track now, knocking it out of the weekly thread.. shame......Robo's is still going strong though, very well made by him... Ill try and get a video up of both tracks for the H.R.G thread.

    Th
    anks for playing murder and for dropping by here and in the Giger thread.

    Arg, If anyone needs me I'll be in the corner. swearing, about that bloody mist....

    Loved the Alien track Blackbird!
    Everything worked out great with the theme.

    Only things i can think of as to why some dislikes....

    1) The huge round object near the end was a bit high. The flow of the track kinda dies out there if you dont get it right ofcourse.
    2) This ones not your fault, but the end scene alien did not pop up complete the first couple of times i played. It came up as 2 small round primes which looked
    really wierd.
    These are not my gripes. Im just trying to help you understand why maybe you got some thumbs down.

    I loved it! I played it with the Viper, Roach, & Panda & they were all fun.
    It was like a different track with each bike.
    Well done! Keep up the great work.

    Really captured the Giger feel in your latest. I'm guessing you had a real fight with complexity on this one?

    Thanks for the honest feedback Dead.
    Glad you enjoyed it. Nice to see some people using the panda. I was surprised to see the panda at the top of the LB though. I tested it over and over to make sure that it was passable and fun on the track etc, never myself got a time faster than the bikes. I thought it would of been slower to run it on the panda?

    I think If I wasn't the builder and came across the track I understand the dislikes. I may even of disliked it myself in that position.
    It has its flaws, as well as having numerous bug, things. lol I think that round object might of been my attempted Promethean head statue. That was tricky.

    Thanks D2.. Yes I certainly did. I think it can come across a bit empty. The mist was doing a nice job of concealing parts I couldnt do any more on.... I had big plans for this track. Hidden areas, secret 2nd Giger'esk track. a more grand end scene. another route that was kind of going to be part of a Easter egg.. I wanted to make the Space jockey...It was the damn egg room that ate up pretty much all of my complexity. the two ribbed walls that act as big ramps. they are the coulprate lol. I had to tip toe around 3/4 of a bar for the rest of the build.

    Ahh well. poor management of memory I guess.

    Thanks for taking the time to play you guys & for dropping by...

    -The Mists opacity is way too low. (working replays show the mist closer to how it was in the editor)
    -Most replays are played too bright, no wear near the tracks true settings
    -End Alien doesn't work 100% of the time...
