    Atomic Speedway

    Time spent so far: 16 hours (only because I started over 3x)
    How much longer? A few nights.

    I have an aesthetic theme that will really be cool for this speedway. I don't want to reveal what it's going to be like. If you enjoy tournamnt type tracks with some amazing smoothness, then the wait is almost over! Look for Atomic Speedway to be released at ForgeHub & Forge Battle. Thanks, and here are a few pics to tide you over. The sheer scale of this project is insane. You know me though, lol. What ever I attempt to forge, it has to be in some way or another over the top. Comments & suggestions are welcomed. I really want the game play to be great for Battle Snips & Lasers. With the estimated lap time nearing 20 seconds, this track will be sure and please! Well, I hope to have it done this week sometime. Thanks again! :p

    Aw, if you hadn't posted this your post count woulda been 666 still.
    Aside from that though, I'm interested in seeing what the theme is here since racing maps have been what I've been playing on for a bit.

    Aww, I dun like going in circles. :( Oh, well, I'm sure the end product will still be amazing. I think this would be perfect for plain Battletracks, which is saying a lot because I usually hate that gametype.

    Man that looks so smooth so far. I'll definitely be looking out for it in the upcoming weeks. I'm not exactly sure where you are going with it but looking back on all the Battletracks you have made, I know I won't be disappointed :)
    By the way, I would definitely like this to include some Battlesnipes, that would pretty insane in my opinion.

    This looks like extreme halo nascar. Without the boringness of nascar. If your plan is for it to just be a large oval, then I support you all the way. It would be perfect for any sort of battle tracks gametype. (Except maybe battle lasers o_O)

    I think you are going to like this man! I hope it lives up to your expectations. I started on one of the aesthetics tonight, and it looks sweet! I can't wait until it's done. I will have to try to finish tomorrow!

    It probably won't have walls on the outside. It's part of the game play. If you fall off you die and then have to wait ten seconds to respawn. There might be some borders, I am not sure yet.

    Seriously? That turn is so gradual that you would have to try to fall off to do so... Borders are an unnecessary use of budget/objects.

    Yeah, the bank is very light. It is hard to fall off. If you fall off you receive a ten second respawn time. I probably won't be putting up any walls. There might be some shield doors on the main turns. The fact that it's so open makes the race more exciting. I hope to get some time to work on the map tonight. I might add a new pic! :happy:

    I get it's really easy not to fall of, but I think outer borders would be really really nice, you have no idea. Anywho, I'm glad someone finally started up on this, I'm supporting this fully. I can't wait to see some of the aesthetics you decide to implement, there's so much you can do for the atmosphere. But why the skybubble? Why not Sandbox?

    Are you kidding me? I could do this without falling off once. And as Dream and everyone else knows; I'm almost strictly passenger.

    Basically, I chose the skybubble simply because if and when you fall, you die and the mongoose blows up. This actaully helps with BT a little because then when you respawn, there are plenty of mongooses available. On the main floor I would have to use portals and then the mongooses would have to wait 60 seconds to respawn, even if they are in instant. That and I like the look of the bubble, lol.

    Yeah, thats one thing I always forgot when trying to build racetracks - either you have to build it so the Mongoose blows and up and they die when they fall, or you have to make it so they can't fall, or at least can get back on the track.

    Cool! I think that it's cool to see a change of pace from all-turns to just a simple, round, track. Reminds me of Mario Kart. I've never been a racetracks person, but this has my DL once it's done.
