Couldn't have done it better myself! Looks like no one else found the way I did, though I wasn't aware of that long way around on the backwards route! Oh well, better luck next time

Holy crap the alternate routes on your mom. I need to get more creative, I guess. Also maybe I could have tried not flying over half the boost platform. Eight hours left to get a respectable run on the current track. I'm not hopeful.

I doubt that was it, I've never been against it and I was one of the first builders to use it back when it involved hex editing map files. You probably had some ugly glitch in there... (yes I know the current track one has one too at the end, couldn't avoid it)

Send in my time after a quick session tonight to improve my time (although I think I lost a better one due to some random thing I just can't find an explanation for). Also I received the Goontrack and you guys will have it back Wednesday as I'm free on that day and can get my part done till then.

Me getting the Author Medal in just under a few dozen attempts? I'm very confused right now. This being on a run that I know for a fact I can shave a second or two off, at least. ViggyNash fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Sep 9, 2014 |

Just sent in my replay, this track did not agree with me at all. I know I could take 1 second off my time if I could be lucky enough to string together a lap without a tiny mistake wrecking it. But there's no way I could improve it beyond that. I didn't even make the AT and I feel like I'm at my wit's end.ViggyNash posted:Me getting the Author Medal in just under a few dozen attempts?

Thinking about adding a new challenge and come in second to last on every track. 9_9 Not only will I have to control how fast I go, but I have to guess how slow the worse person is and beat them, but not beat the third to last. If I'm gonna suck, why not do it with style?

Geez, let the cat outta the bag would ya? I was trying to keep that competition to myself. Although, at this point I've already missed two deadlines, and the time I've submitted for the last track is pretty terrible and  I really like the new track, though.

The track that was just posted, the indoors one...I really, really like the design of this course. It maybe helps that to me somehow it feels 'easy' compared to earlier ones, but the overall layout and how it all looks as you're driving it just seems nice on the senses.

Holy poo poo, sixth? That makes up for how I've been slipping down the ranks in the past few tracks. I love technical tracks, they're the only kinds where I can actually figure out how to improve.

Right, should have mentioned my post is about the indoor track. But as hard as the last track was, I'm surprised I didn't do worse.

It's an extraordinary test of endurance that runs for the rest of the season (in parallel with the regular tracks). You can happily skip it and get a nice cozy default time. But if you send in a time, it might just push you up a spot or two. Choice is yours. You got like 5-6 weeks to think about it anyways.

Oh man, having already missed 3 tracks this might save me from having an overall mediocre score... ... 10 minutes? Really? That means each lap will be over 2 minutes long. drat, will this be painful.

Send the Goontrack with my part, the Icarus Drop, added just now to the Trackgoonia email account. I can already tell it's going to be a "blast" to play once it's completed. May God help us all. Hope everything arrived and is in order. CVE fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Sep 10, 2014 |

^^^I'm looking forward to working on it! I'll add to the fun.  On another note, I fixed the z-fighting on my track that FillInTheBlank was kind enough to point out, and even got a better author time in about five minutes, after grinding for about 30 the first time. Link is the same as last time, just in case anyone grabbed the first one and is considering uploading a replay or something--it'll crap out if you have the old version.

Doing the same track five times over is a thing. But. "Alright going into my fifth lap, good pace. Silver pace, at least!" The demo is about to expire in: one minute. "AWH poo poo" Made it with 12 seconds to spare.

Welp I have a time for the bonus track that has room for about a minute of improvement. I don't know how I'll have enough attention span to run the entire 10 minute course though to get better times. I'm liking the current track although I feel like there's one spot in the map where it's up to a lot of luck. The grass/blue surface left hand turn before the last checkpoint is so tough to take perfectly with two left wheels staying on the blue and not drifting into the grass. Overall though I'm having a fun time with the track.
