Always nice to have a comparison to a widespread well known game I did a quick mock-up of a few graphical improvements I would be willing to add to your game for very cheap, heres what it would approximately look like: of course the reflection would be much more accurate, I had to flip the image in the picture so its a little inaccurate as to what the real results would be, reflections would be realtime, the terrain texture would be better formed but I honestly think with a few small updates this game could be kicked easily into a decent graphic game, but to be frank, you seem a bit in denial about the lack of up to date visuals.

Hi Lostclimate No, not in denial and I agree with you. Okay, well let me share something with you guys. I did already hire somebody else on this forum to add in multi-textured terrains months ago and it had a low frame rate. I had great looking terrains, but had the frame rate to be 10 fps. Yes, so 10 fps is not acceptable in a racing game. You can see this same multi-textured terrain in the CREATURE PARTY scene right now. Just click on "Creature Party" on the main menu and look at the terrain there. If you have shaders 2 or higher it will appear. The creature party scene is a simple "One Room" level. Doesn't that multi-textured terrain look great in the creature party? Anyways, I kept the multi-textured terrain for the PARTY, but removed it from the race, because of low frame rates. The target low-end PC here is 1.6 GHz or higher. Remember, this game is not a simple small room scene. And it's not a twisty turn type of race that tests your fingers and keyboards ability either. The racetracks are big enough to race in for a full 3 minutes or till the song ends. When we have added "Multi-textured Terrains" previously over large terrains, then the frame rate dies, okay? lol I tried it already. It looks great, but low frame rates happen on 1.6 GHz machines.

Introducing --> Multi-textured Terrains ! <only visible if you have shaders 2 or higher> The creature party scene: and And then once they walk into the ark, then I get rid of the terrain! The camera is inside, so I remove the terrain to help the frame rate and spotlights in the party. But, at one time I had this terrain in the race and the frame rate died, so I removed it. Oh well, just to share with you guys. Last edited by Ran Man; 09/20/07 15:25. Cougar Interactive www.zoorace.com
