I'm not too worried though, I think shadows from the karts and weapons should look fine enough with a possible decal based solution. The multiplayer uses the native GS commands. It's works fine for the most part, however, the new compression and encryption would be a major plus, hopefully JCL implements this soon.

Then you can control which objects cast it? Maybe even turn it on off for certain models using a distance check? Really looking forward to watching a video of this game!
