How much time/work/effort did you have to invest into this project of yourself to accomplish this? I'm really curious as I can only imagine it would take ALOT to accomplish what you have.

This is a rotation of full-time, and part-time work on it. I have a regular job aside from this to help pay bills during the week. The game was actually started back in highschool(grade 11), this was when I got much learning done. However, it could have taken a year or so less if I had the knowledge I do now when I started. Also, if I didn't add a multiplayer mode, it probably would have been cut another couple years. I also am the leader of a rock band called "Finding Fire", this takes a fair bit of time as well. We had just released our Debut album on Itunes and Amazon a week ago, check it out sometime! I had done about 90% of the work on Silas I'd estimate. There has also been paid/unpaid help from many developers on this forums in terms of small contract work(dll's, models, ect.). So it's definitely not a hobby project, but a full blown game, with both a robust multiplayer and single player mode. I plan to release a new trailer in the next month or so showcasing the multiplayer, I think many will be blown away by it's uniqueness and gameplay.

I will also be updating the texturing on the characters and karts. If anyone has some recommendation as what they'd like to see, please let me know, as I am always open to suggestion.
