Kart Racer - Wrapping it Up

Hey everyone, it's been quite a while since I've posted here.

















Anyway, I originally created the kart racer for my senior project, of which I've now passed. :D 

The thing is, even though it is unfinished, I think I'm gonna be done with it for now. Creating this thing has been a huge challenge [*coughcoughartificialintelligencecough*], but in the process, I've learned a lot. I guess I've grown tired of dealing with this specific project, though I may come back someday to revisit and improve it. Who knows? I sure don't. I've got other game projects in mind that I'd like to try, so this one is pretty much done for now.

I'm making the .blend file available for download. This way you guys [well, whoever actually reads this pathetic excuse of a blog] can explore the file and see how it's set up. As an added bonus, you can even be stultified to death by staring confusedly at the ridiculously irritating and convoluted AI system I somehow managed to throw together! Fun!

Just a note, the file really only works in Blender 2.61. For some reason or another, the whole AI system glitches up when bringing it into 2.62 or later. Just a warning.

Also, if the link ever goes down for whatever reason and you want me to re-upload it, just shoot me an email at mechacorestudios@gmail.com. I'm sure I'll respond eventually.

Well, it's been fun. I might just announce another game project soon.... just a heads up.




...and you know what I just realized? I never came up with a real name for this thing. I still refer to it as "Kart Racer." Oh well. Guess I'm not good with names.
