What is a Deathrace?
A deathrace is basically teams racing with vehicles on a dangerous track trying to shoot each other down with weapons. The first person to reach the end of the track or the last team standing wins the round!

TEAMS
There are 4 teams on this server.

ORANGE OBLITERATORS

PINK PERFECTIONS

GREY GREATS

BROWN BOSSES


WEAPON CLASSES
*Please note: drivers cannot use weapons while racing, only passengers can*

Demoman - Use explosives to blow jeeps up and dominate over players!

Heavy - Annihilate vehicles and enemies with your high powered weapons!

Soldier - Basic weapons to destroy jeeps and kill players!

Medical - Use pills and medpacks to heal yourself while having small guns to help your team!

Snipers - Kill far away objects with these high-ranged rifles!

POINT CURRENCIES
There are two types of points that you can earn to purchase special items and features at the shop.

Saxes
Saxes are the regular points you can gain to purchase tools at the shop to help you in the race. You obtain 1 Sax for every person you kill and 5 if you get to the end of the track.

Blocks
Blocks are unique points that you can use to buy special features at the shop to dominate the race. You earn 1 for each regular purchase in the shop and you can buy 1 at the point converter located in the shop for 35 Saxes.

The track includes 7 biomes:

Tunnels: Beginning of track, 2 way path which includes a jump and long, narrow road
Desert: 2 parts of sandy terrain

Mountain: Rising, thin path
Summit, Ice and Pond: Can go 3 ways, around the pond, on the ice or boating in the water
Road to Victory: Flat land with some slopes, you're almost there
Island of Riches: You made it to the end, now click the trophy

Server looks fun. Also, you might want to make your logo smaller.

I'll do that tomorrow, I had to do this 3 times because the forums logged me out and my topic was erased. Meh.

Ok, I changed the shops around a little. I moved two weapons around and I added more walls to protect players from getting the weapons on display for free.


Also, I shortened the logo in the OP a little.

The map is great, I just dislike the shop and weapon room, I feel that they could use different colors.

Their colors are different for each team, just to let you know.

And um, we're not getting a lot of players here. No one is coming, this isn't as I expected.

Try changing the enviorment around.
Instead of that gray ground, make it green studs, and add water that kills.
Enable/Download Script_VehicleStereo. Players love that.
Take more screenshots, but use DOF instead.

The Logo looks like you put it through blingee

Environment maybe, and I already have water that kills. VehicleStereo already enabled, might use DOF later.

Classes should have their own modded cars based on their class.
Besides that looks cool. May join for a bit.

The map itself looks ok, everything else is hideous tho, please work on the other stuff.

Ok, how should I improve things? Change the color? Add bricks?

The map itself looks too short, too small and too slow paced. I suggest making the track longer, wider and easier to navigate. In deathrace, it's supposed to be that you're either killed by others, or you drive off the side in the action. I imagine when a lot of people play this, they'll be bumping into each other, and everyone would be going slow to just advance. The rounds would also be a bit too short.

I think you need to put primarily more effort into the spawns and weapon rooms. They look too dull and boring. They also need a bit more colour added to them.

I hope this helps, because I love deathrace as much as the next guy, and I'd love to see another one on Blockland.

Ok, for the track, I'm going to make the beginning tunnels and roads wider so people can pass through easier. The mountains, near the end of the track, will stay thin because not that many people get to that part. I will also add a huge section of track which is nice and wide, with turns and all that stuff.

The spawns, I will try to see what I can do with that. The weapons, maybe I'll make the class station bigger with more appeal and I was thinking of adding a color pattern to the walls. I will keep the shop, however.

I hope that helps and I will get to work on that later. Thank you for the suggestions!

Ok, I improved all the weapon rooms. What do you think?
