Recently, I've made allusion of a racing game being brainstormed in the Xilvan Design Studio.

Before starting finding ideas, I've though of ideas and advice the
community could give to me and my team. Altmost all kind and
evil creatures of Candy World will race in this game.
From the Stubborns to Candy, by passing from
Noopy to even leo the lion...

I also need some racing algorythms
for completing the coding.

In the next few day I'll post
the images of the car.

For helping you, here is the image of the lion:

It starts by my first car modelling ever. Made in 3Dstudio Max.
I took my recent Candy Model from Candy World III
and pour it in the Car...

After, I have finally started the project from the mak's "driver"
sample... Dont worry, I'll start over the code right
after I've understood the theory...

A new era of gaming is starting in
the Xilvan Design Team ! Lets
enter in it !

The game will be Free for
the moment, demo soon !

I've added day/night cycle to the game,

and enhenced the trees.

I like racing games. This sounds interesting.


Nate the Great(Posted 2010) [#3]
how are you going to use a lion in a racing game? this could be fun to watch develop.


TomToad(Posted 2010) [#4]
maybe he's creating a clone of this

:D


Xilvan(Posted 2010) [#5]
The game will indeed be simple and full of Bonus...
I still dont know if I will be able to make an online version.

The lion of Candy World is a kind lion, so it wont be a bad character.
I prefer to suggest the normal baddies of Candy World such like Stubborns.

I hope it will start looking like a game in the following week !

Good lord Dabz I think that's the first time I've seen a horse shot out of a cannon. What an awful game :) they even used echo for a voice effect.


Ked(Posted 2010) [#8]
Oh my... That video is horrid.


Dabhand(Posted 2010) [#9]

Zoorace is UTTER GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can replicate that kind of high speed action, Xylvan, you are on to an absolute slice of fried gold, my son.


ImaginaryHuman(Posted 2010) [#12]
Hmm that'd look pretty cool as a llama also.


jkrankie(Posted 2010) [#13]
What!? Zoo Race is amazing!

Cheers

SoggyP(Posted 2010) [#14]
Hello.

Oh my. I wish people would stop making me laugh out loud like that. That was just fantastic!

Goodbye.


ImaginaryHuman(Posted 2010) [#15]
There is some new movie coming out soon called something like `alpha and omega` about some animals, 3d animated, but I couldn't help but notice the strange modelling style looks a LOT like your lions ;-)


Axel Wheeler(Posted 2010) [#16]
That ZooRace video made me want to eat my own eyeballs. But it's still an impressive amount of work that must have gone into it.

The endless cutscene in the beginning includes some of the worst dialog ever in a video game, imo.

The alleged re-shaping consists of flickering between the human and animal forms for a bit. I do think a bit more work could have been done there, but overall an A for effort given the number of scenes and creative elements within them. Execution? well, not so much...

The religious message is annoying and pretty much a showstopper for about 80% of the potential market, but that's the passion of the christ for ya.

I do think the game is intended to be campy, so the absurdity is ok.

I certainly wouldn't want to play the damn thing, though. Strictly for the under-12s.


GaryV(Posted 2010) [#17]
Wow, love the car you added to the first post. Absolutely priceless!


MadJack(Posted 2010) [#18]
I've just watched the vid and am speechless.

This could be the greatest game when playing with a skinfull!


Xilvan(Posted 2010) [#19]
The demo is coming soon... very soon...

I have to test the engine first, then post screenshots or videos.

Hope you will like the style of the first car...

What kind is it? V8 hopefully.


Blitzplotter(Posted 2010) [#21]
A V6 would be more eco-friendly.


Xilvan(Posted 2010) [#22]
I worked once more all the beguining of the morning.

The very first version is out...

It uses mak's driver code for the bolid... Mostly i have made a similar function named inclinaisonsurface who make the same thing but it is inspired from Driver...

All my sceneries code are in the game are in the game now.

Everything has been made from yesterday evening and it gives a good effect for me.

This is the game I've been waiting my entire life to play. Looking forward to the first in game shots.


ImaginaryHuman(Posted 2012) [#25]
lol


JonnyEnglish(Posted 2012) [#26]
I love racing games! Sounds like fun! Looking forward to seeing more!


Captain Wicker (crazy hillbilly)(Posted 2012) [#27]
that looks more like a dog than a lion to me. :/


Xilvan(Posted 2012) [#28]
It was a game engine written from the beguining,
then I decided to add some of my libraries.

I'll post the second
gallery soon.

For the moment, I propose you to download the 0.45th
version of Candy Racing Cup : The Lillians Rally.

The Lion will be
added later.

More soon !
