Hi guys

I am currently in the process of creating a war themed track , now i wondered if anybody who has made any has any tips or thoughts they would like to share with me. I obviously want to go for the busy theme with animations because its a war but would like to pick the noses mean brain of those who might have created themes likes this.

Thanx

If you have Evo you should look at 'Beach Head'.

Compared to Evo Gold, they really added dozens more sounds/effects in Fusion that can make their way in a war themed track:
- Many types of gun sounds/effects, including shotguns/rockets/cannons.
- Many types of vehicle sounds : Truck/Plane/Jet/Boat engine sounds with the throttle actually adjustable, not just the pitch.
- Battleground/Future Battleground ambient noise.
- Many variations of bomb/rocket/fire/metal impact sounds/effects.

It really depends what time it plays in but even then, there's a ton of laser effects/sounds/ambient noise if it's some futuristic or alien/planet war.

Sounds/effects are a very important part, when combined with well timed/themed animations/lights etc. beyond just the driveline/background theme.

I guess it's best to keep it as neutral as possible not mentioning any very detailed references to nations/countries or recognizeable to any real life current or past wars.

Evo had Beach Head & Oil Crisis that were sort-of war-themed but still very neutral.

Current track I working on has some laser cannons so that's all fine as it's not based on anything realistic

cheers for the replys guys ,

I havent got evo shakeyclaret but maybe i can look it up on you tube or something i shall have a look see what i can find.

Yes i know what your saying teri , some few months back i did a slight war themed one and there is lots of different sound effect and so forth to use , i did use alot of the underground explosions to create the bomb effect but i think they was the cause of a slow point in my track and after that couldnt get rid of it. Also am all for what your saying with keeping the war imaginary so to speak with respect in mind especially over the last few years with things but mine also is based on a different planet and dont think we are at war with another planet yet. Im going for the investigation of threat to humkind approach within a war zone.

Some cool stuff in the new dlc for war in another world.



Ps are they really that strict on reffrence towards objects like rockets and so forth. If so blimey !

Rockets etc are fine in my book(Fusion has even rocket explosives). It can even be based on any current and past technology, even nuclear bombs, they were in evo as well, what I meant mostly was being careful with especially track names/descriptions, with clear references.

Look up the track Beach Head, it's very loosely based on some beach similar to normandy WW2 but it doesn't name the track like "1944 Beach Head", you see a plane bomb a bunker in the end but still it never mentions "american plane bombs german bunker".

Thus, you can see it as neutral, for someone with no history knowledge they wouldn't know where and when it's based on really.
