-Beta Tester Design Studio-

Sometime next week, I'll post here asking for people who would like to be Beta Testers for the game. I'll try to keep most new news and announcements on the game's website from then on(which should be finished soon...)

I'll send each Beta tester a kit in the mail, which includes a CD of the "Beta Tester Design Studio", which will allow you to actively shape the look and feel of the game. It's pretty friggin neat. It'll also include some other stuff.

I haven't publicly blabbed too much about the game lately, because I have been doing a lot of work on paper, and things have been progressing quite well.

New INFO:
The final version of the game will include (among other things)

- 25+ different online racing tracks!
- 3 different Chat levels
- "Cell phone" Chat
- Different types of roads
- towns
- arcade (with working "classic" arcade
games in it that you can play!)
- Online Lazertag arena

- 100 different levels of car damage

- Graphics will be insanely modifiable -

- You can have your own head!

- you can have your own online house, with
garage, trees, fences,etc.

- You can customize the inside of your house (carpet, sofa, paintings, windows, entertainment system, etc.) (My online house currently has a "Galaxian" coin-op arcade game in it!)

- You can access PFF while in the game

- You can invite other people into your house, and ...

- The car's performance will be dependent on about 80 different factors.

- Swappable engines

- single-player missions, and races

- crazy amount of body modification (You can strip the car down to the spaceframe, and edit each body panel!)

Have a good one!

WTF! OMG, this is turning out to be a hellacious sounding game! All those features...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet...

Wouldn't it be cheaper (and easier to get testers for) if the file was available for download off thesite? With a password maybe?

I just got 3DS STUDIO MAX version5 last week. I cant believe the graphics and potential of this software. Its used to make all the great PS2 & XBOX games. I hope your graphics are decent and gameplay is similar to most recent car racing games. So long as its not a bunch of circles & squares (OLD ATARI / Intellivision GAMES)
Rumor: What is the system requirements to run your game?
Any screen shots or car shots would be cool.

My god man you have made leaps and bounds with this game. I hope I can get in on the Beta test lovin'

ME ME PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! Sorry bout the yelling, I just really want to .

wow! Lot's O' responses!

I'll keep you guys informed as to when you should check the website to sign up as a 'tester.

I've run it on a P-III 450 with 128 MB ram and a 4 MB video card, and it ran decently. I usually use a 1GHz machine when I test things on it, and the server will be handling most of the work when it comes to the online games.

One reason why I'm making it open-source with respect to the graphics is to encourage the artists out there to work their photoshop magic - It's kinda tough to do the graphics as well as everything else...

I think Cliff will be making the perfect rendering of the Fiero to be used in racing games like NFS and Midtown Madness, and I'm not sure I want to end up making a poor excuse for one of those types of games. I'm not sure if it's been done before, but in my game, you use your mouse to control the shifter, which makes for some interesting control. This afternoon, my friend at work was biting his tongue trying to beat me in a network test. He was in the Stinger - I was driving Low_Key's car. I won.

oh fun - my keyboard's acting buggy. I'll post more tomorrow...

Turns out it was my mouse...battery was dyin'.
