lol, I guess so.

Here is the shareware demo version at the link below.

http://www.noahsadventures.com/downloads/ZooRace.exe

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
1.6 GHz processor minimum, but 2 GHz recommended.
Video card with 128MB VRAM, but video card with PS 2.0 or higher recommended.


And it's only 23MB dowwnload. Hooray!
I had bandwidth concerns, so this small version does nicely.

Well, what do ya think? With the movies and now this demo, hey It's a completed project guys!

Just gotta do the game site now.

Heya RanMan, looks interesting and amusing as you intended no doubt.
Downloading now and thanks for the opportunity to check out another one of your projects.
BTW, I'm 51 and have no probs staying up till those hours so get exercising (but then again, getting responses like the few above would put anyone off I assure you).

Hmm, where should I start...

Lets start with the positives: The race game is awesome. I think it´s pretty much perfect. It´s fun and you really build in strategies into it. Like when I chose the cat whos poor at swimming (I think) I have to find the land ways to avoid as much water as possible. The race track is interesting designed and the player usually doesn´t get lost. The AI keeps fighting well. There are some places where the AI got stuck, like in the cave. I hope you can fix that.

I haven´t played it often enough to say, if all playable characters are balanced well for all tracks. But I hope so. Otherwise I would put some work into that because that´s really important.

I am missing some weapons like in mario kart or diddy kong racing. At least there are exploding barrels

The animals are funny. Just some sound loops (of the horse?) are annoying. Don´t let them loop that much!

And one more time: The race track is really well done, and the race game is awesome fun. Really great work. It´s just awesome.

Allright, now to the negatives: Why does the game has to be religious? In combination with the silly design it makes for me the game serious silly. It´s like with the game BIBLE MAN. It would be funny if it wouldn´t be religious. Why do you think there is no religion in mario kart? because it wouldn´t be mario kart. It would just be software trying to seduce the human brain to believe to some total nonsense.I mean if you have a religion keep it for yourself. I think you are a bad person if you want to push your religion onto other people. Such software should be forbidden. Because there are A) people who believe seriously into nonsense without a serious proof - these are the people I could sell a flying pig to - and B) there are people who know that their religion can´t work but they have fun with it/make money with it - and these are the liars - because a religion is no nice fairytale.

I find it really unrespectful and rude to make such a game containing serious religions. Such [censored] will cause war, because I can feel it in myself, what´s going on.

If you are religious keep it for yourself. There is no need to carry it to the outside. If someone wants to be religious no problem. But don´t bother me with your way of thinking. It´s really annoying me because it gives me nothing and confuses me/makes me crazy.

Allright, hard critique over. Now to some more common critque: The graphics don´t make me jump to the ceiling, but they are somehow good. I think they can be improved, but because the game is fun anyways, it doesn´t matter that much. Maybe if a part two is published you can make better grafics, sounds and music.

Only full screen? Why the heck I couldn´t change to window mode by pressing alt+enter? My screen has no common size, so it sucks if everything is stretched or stuff is dropped out of the screen.

Allright that´s all. The race game is one of the best race games I played in the last 3 years. I am really impressed about that. The animals were funny and the track design was fantastic and the mechanics worked well.

when i was 10 years and tex would be niser i would love the game
buti am not 10

it's weird and fun. i like it!

i guess my children will have some fun when they come back home:)

I appreciate your concern, ex-citer, about "religion causing wars" and the need to keep it to yourself, but I feel a different way.

I feel that God is already here and He is indeed with you now , but He is greatly mis-interpreted down here.

He is not for war. In fact, He destroyed the earth in Noah's time, because of all the violence in it.

So, I wanted this game to start up a dialogue or a conversation.

The conversation is between you and God. Surprise!

To help everyone, I put Gods voice in it and humor. Just have fun with it.

Sing along with the songs, as most are prayers too.


Well, I have to leave now, but will be back tomorrow night.
I'm leaving for Reno Nevada and a dance competition for my daughter.


So, yes, Ran Man will be dancing soon!
Aggh, ain't I just another dumb creature down here?
Yes?


Which one am I below? Can you guess? lol
Who am I in the pic below?

Bye, see you later.

THE DANCE:

Great game, loved it to bits and your panel work is as impressive as ever.
So, whilst your ideas are all good, your graphics leave a bit to be desired and I know you get hammered about this but please, get help for the graphics, your distribution would soar then.

Controls just need a bit more tweaking as turning while running is too sharp and well, not much of a racing fan but your race I like very much.

Keep up the good work...

I think your the Sheep

Hi Nemisis,

Thanks.

Yes, I'am the sheep! I love that thing! HAHA! lol

Yeah, funny thing is that I'm not much of a racing fan either.

So, how can I make a racing game? Race games are boring! So boring!
You just drive around and bang into stuff or maybe shoot other cars. I hardly ever play them.

Boring, uggh

But this game idea with all the obstacles I thought was good and not boring.

Yes, there are areas, for sure, that the graphics could use improvement.
I agree.
So, to compensate, I tried to make it FUN, so instead of looking at the scenery, then they look at the fun.

The barrels, balloons, glass, cannons, rockets, fire geysers, etc.

Sometimes, I don't understand gamers.
For great scenery, they should visit Mt Hood, yosemite, roman collisium, big ben, etc.

For a game, then they should do the stuff they cannot do in real life.
But rather than kill people, just goto the moon, or get blasted
out of cannons, or swim with pirrana's or jump from cliffs, etc.

lol - Okay, working on the site now. thanks everyone.

Oh I forgot!


I did also recently post another very short 90 second movie, but this one on google.
