F-Zero Progress Thread

that's how it worked in all the games, i think.

should be good to leave in.

You mean drifting? That would be cool.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah all F-zero had this, altough don't make it as extreme as in Forza Motorsport on the Xbox or Mario Kart on the SNES where most of the time you just slightly turned left/right for a second and it felt like you were on ice even if you weren't

[metagross111]

drifting is actually more of a bad thing on FZERO if you couldn't control it just right.

Lets put that in at the end...
I think that the most important thing for know is making the game work. 

[Galandros]

drifting can be risky to implement... Because if made bad, destroys playability. Maybe is better to leave it or beta-test what you get.
The main is to have it released and still fun, drift or not.

I agree, but also part of the fun is drifting. If there's no drift, it're really easy to do turns..just stay in the middle.

True, and there is few racers in z80 with drifting. But there is few to compare because they are 2D while this has a cool mode7. ^^

Drifting would be a nice addition, but there's a fine line line between not enough and too much.  Nice job on the camera movement too!

[trevmeister66]

Yeah, as long as there's enough to make it enjoyable and still a little difficult

[DJ Omnimaga]

Also each cars could have slightly different level of drifting/turning speed, to make each cars different. Maybe also a secret Netham45 car that has both slow speed, slip as fuck and turns slowly

yeah, but give it some decent power and some super fucked up boost speed

[gibaoran]

drifting is good in some games...

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah, more realistic IMHO. I wonder how F-Zero is progressing now, tho

[calc84maniac]

I just made a small slice of progress, it should theoretically be Nspire-compatible now. Also, the part outside the map is no longer a solid gray, it's actually the "off-track" tile.

I'll send it to my (new!) Nspire when I get the chance.
