hey!

great work dude, i'll be playing this again! really loved the details put into the racers and the scenery. it's such a shame about this darn custom kart collision thing but once i got used to it about 3 races later i had lots of fun

i was going to take some photos during the race but the custom camera fixed in place and i could only photograph the rear. the HUD did bug out one of the times by not updating which lap i was on, i think i got blown up near the start line at some point. the last thing was the ramp that bounces you over the canyon bounced me straight into the mountainside a couple of times but didn't stop me using it!

if i had to suggest anything to improve i would add a rear view camera hooked up to triangle, would make holding onto the lead tons easier since the AI are ruthless and aiming lightning behind without seeing behind is near impossible! (maybe tone down the leader missiles too!)

the only other thing is have you thought about pistons on the karts to make them move up and down slowly to give the hover effect more? assuming of course your thermo isn't full...

Glad you liked it! Rear camera is something I was looking to add. So I'll take care of that soon. The HUD may do that as I am using tags and I've found that sometimes they don't read, so it may miss a lap. Especially if you use Fast Forward past the starting line it ignores the tag. :/

I didn't think of using pistons to give it a more hovering feel. Great idea, unfortunately these pods are already heavy on the thermal so I'll have to leave it as it is.

As for the ramp, you should be able to navigate around the mountain side. But, ill look into making it a more clear path if it becomes a problem for people.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hey Verbal, I reviewed your track. For some reason, the d-pad on my controller wouldn't steer my kart, I was forced into using the analogue sticks. I always use d-pad though, so this might be something to look into. Also, I'm sure this is out of your hands, but yeah, as has already been mentioned, any collisions with another pod would really mess me up ... Additionally, if you run up one of the walls, it's pretty hard to steer off them, but that's more my fault than yours for poor driving

Loved the creature trying to get you from the pit. It did actually get me ... like a giant creepy spider. Great work! I mentioned this in my review as well, but the pods are amazing. So jealous that the AI get all the epic ones (Sebulba's pod is sick) and you're stuck with Anakin's little scrap-metal one haha.

Not sure why d pad doesn't work... I am using a controllinator for rear camera since I have to use custom camera for the race. That may be the reason, tho it doesn't disconnect the other controls,, such as the analog. Hmm.

I wish the spawn point would be more random so you could end up in another pod each play through. Leaving them all as "any" just gets you in Subulba's every time.

The driving up wall part bugs me too. I've tried to place force field material where I thought the most troubling areas were to prevent that.

Does anyone know if you put Pathfinders on custom karts if that would help AI with colliding into one another?

Now this is pod-racing. The entire track is greatly made, and the podracers are nicely remade. The only gripe is the maneuvers of the Pods, but everything else is amazing.
PROS:
+Recreation of track and Podracers
+HUD design
+Alternate paths
CONS:
-Maneuvers are a little off
OVERALL: A yay, heart, and I posted a review

Thank you for playing the level and I am glad you've enjoyed it. With news of new movies my love for Star Wars has been rekindled.

I've made some updates, but haven't republished just yet.

* Rear Camera added.
* Anakins pod now appears to hover up and down.
* Buzz Droids!

Bravo is an exellent work, the city is beautiful, the decors as those kart exeptionnel, great work but I find it uncontrollable, and it lag bug,
the sound of the game is oddly low, were the only recalcitrant point your beautiful level.The most frustrating is handling or is not following my connection but nice level and great job.
