Guest malloc Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 I've uploaded a new unreleased MicroTurismo beta (this is the Beta as it was when I stopped the project in June 2003). I can also give the sources if someone wants to continue it... MicroTurismo At startup press 1 to 4 to select the Race. (Race 4 is unfinished) During race * to quit. There's still some bugs... but I've stopped this project ages ago... malloc
Guest midnight Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 shame you didnt carry on with this one, was looking good m8
Guest NederSoren Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 yeah.. its sad.. i luved the first two betas you released.. I wonder why you didn't continue working on a promising game like this? /Neder
Guest NederSoren Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 ahh.. just tried this version with 3 levels, and I must say that its very addictive.. er.. Can someone please have a try in completing this game?
Guest fraser Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Complete it? I'm wondering why they gave up!! It's almost finished!! The graphics are miles ahead of the original version, the tracks are good, and there is a track selector. All that's missing is a race result screen and an option to change the track without quiting. I've seen commecial software with bigger failings than that!!
Guest midnight Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 i wouldnt say its almost finished, personally i think that a lot of work still would need going into this. it has the potential of a great game, but i would say the gfx need a total overhaul (those f1 cars in particular), i suppose it depends on what the developer feels is satisfactory, and i think malloc himself no doubt feels that lots of work is needed aswell, hence giving up on the project :lol: again, it is a shame its been cancelled (for now), but no doubt we'll see other racing games in the future :D
Guest phonesmarts Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 maybe we could base this game for future racing games...make this like an engine

I know you are trying to make games that you can use alot of time one.. But sometimes its nice just to have a little game you can play for 5-10 min while you using the puplic tranportation, waiting for an appointment and so on... So in that way i agree with Fraser, who says its almost done.. In the other hand it is very nice to have a game, where there have bin put alot of work in to, and everything is perfect, down to the small'est details. :( So... Im looking forward to see what '04 will bring us, of games... /Neder
Guest ultimasnake Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 Hey malloc i really like your game , i am wondering if i might be able to see your source , not to finish the game but because i am trying to make a GTA kind of game but can't figure out some things (like rotation of the car etc etc etc) and more?...... this project is going to be freeware thus your code wont be stolen for momey purposes :lol:
Guest midnight Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 ultimasnake, use gapidraw, that handles sprite rotation (and scaling) for you :lol:
Guest ultimasnake Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 is it free? because i thought it wasnt :S
Guest midnight Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 free for none commercial use and even if you want free, you can use 2.04 or earlier which are free to use
Guest mike-oh Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 IMHO this is still one of the best games around! Needless to say it'd be even better if it was finished.
Guest Croccy22 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 Gapidraw is free for non commerical use. and even if you are a single developer you choose how much you wish to donate to gapidraw, there are no fixed costs. So if you Are going to make a very cheap sellling game you can choose to pay a one off fee of $1 or even 0$ if you want. They basically just ask you to make a donation of how much you think it is worth to you. For xmas smartanoid i decided to donate $1 coz i was eeeling generous. Matt Croccy22
Guest ultimasnake Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 aha ace.... and what do you guys use for sounds?
Guest malloc Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 I'm happy to see some positive reviews here :lol: Like said Midnight, I think there's a big difference between a demo and a finished commercial game... I wasn't really happy the quality, had troubles with my graphic artist, and wasn't able to have enough free time to work on that project, that's why I decided to stop. Anyway, the other day I've found the directory somewhere on my PC, sitting there since June, and decided to upload it somewhere. By the way, I'm not using any library for the graphic part (I like to do anything myself), I'll upload the sources this afternoon. malloc
Guest ultimasnake Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 :| wow and its fast too.. i like it..... i can't wait for the source :lol:
Guest mike-oh Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 The quality is great!!! The only thing slightly below par is the sound quality, sounds a bit muffled. The graphics, speed, courses etc are brilliant!
Guest midnight Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 personally, i do hope that one person picks this up and runs with it and does it justice rather than 10 developers all doing sub standard versions of the game (and basically not changing anything) :lol: my thoughts: those graphics desperately need changing, maybe something fun like mini's? add stuff like jumps, bridges (under and over) and other hazards (oil, ice etc) add weapons :D and personally i dont like auto-accelerate, but then, i guess it makes it easier to play
Guest ultimasnake Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 i might have a look at it... but i want to make either a GTA clone or a GTA like game... and i think this engine looks great and works great too......... but if i dont succeed in making the clone who knows i might be working on this game :lol:
Guest malloc Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 In the end, I won't release the sources... (sorry Ultimasnake :oops: ) A good friend gave me some good ideas, and I think I'll be able to do something with this game after all ! The idea is to use the same engine, but transform the game to a F-ZERO like racer. It will be far easier to create the graphics myself (main problem with microturismo), and I'll add damages / repair zones / mines / turbos and Jumps and faster scrolling !!! (all the fun things missing in mt) Thanks you all : you gave me the motivation to restart the project :lol: malloc
Guest ultimasnake Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 well mollac that is to bad... but hey you are going to release it after all (in a diffrent form) I hope you create it as good as F-zero (top view right?) Will it be with accelaration? If you need a bit of help with graphical ideas don't be afraid to ask (might be able to do some graphics too etc etc)..... i love to help with games :lol: Greetz
Guest midnight Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 i'd help if i could, but a bit busy with our games at the moment :lol:
Guest Spv-Kid Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 nice idea the fzero game would be quite cool, i already played this game on my spv and it's way cool weet job!
