Yo, Sleven here.
I would just like to start out with saying "thank you" to all the developers of this gamemode. I understand a lot of time has been put into making this, and it makes me sad that many people are so very very ungrateful. Here you have people that take from THEIR time to create something enjoyable for people they pretty much don't know, and yet I've seen people being extremely hostile towards the creators, both in this thread and on the server. Quote: "This is the worst stuff in blockland history I hope Filipe explodes".
First of all, there are some stuff that needs a fixing but I bet everyone's already aware of them. Like:
- Checkpoint-spawning upside down, in weird positions or outside the map on the hoverkart map.
- You can escape the jungle-map's start with the planes
- Spawning inside eachother on checkpoints
and probably several other issues that I can't think of
Now to the good part.
This gamemode is incredible. It's innovative, fresh for blockland, clever and really fun! People maybe don't know me, but I'm what you would call a veteran.. dating back to 2008, co-creator of Sylvanor's Seattle and general cool guy (ya totally). But I have pretty much stopped playing bl, just checking on occasionally. But with this gamemode, I will definitely go back today and race some more.
This is far better than Speedkart that always felt very unfinished and vanilla, this gamemode feels like a real gamemode. You can't exit vehicles and troll around, this is all about the race, which is very refined with checkpoint system, laps, music, multiple tracks and multiple different vehicles. The biggest cherry is the suspension and grip of the vehicle. Speedkart was a stufffest of flying and bumping around. I didn't know about the gamemode at first so I was expecting old Speedkart when I joined the first server and thought "lmao this map won't work I'll lose within a second". It was such a revelation the moment I started cruising around. Everything went so smooth and it felt very mario-esque.
And about the physics? Really people.. it's always been like that. Speedkart was even worse, this is actually well done and you can respawn, and don't die 1 second after the race begun. About the jungle plane map: People are just very bad and salty. I think that was the most fun map of them all, even though I agree it was difficult to get up again after you crashed the first time, but other than that, it was not too hard in any way. Handling of the plane was great, a lot better than the stuntplane that I'm used to, it doesn't go too fast for the map. The map is narrow but not impossible (actually think it's well balanced), people are bad.. simple as that. But I don't know, maybe it should be made easier for the majority of idiots that play on the server, it's perfect for me tho! Don't know if that says anything.
Good job with this gamemode, I'm looking forward to future updates.
stuff it's been a long time since I wrote in English, I hope this text is cohesive. haha
