New Track - The Average Front Yard

Hey, everyone! I'm here with 3 new tracks! I'll start off with Marooned Isle really quick because of late advertisement. Here is the thumbnail:

:Lol: :Lol: :Lol:

 

 

 

Now that that's off of my chest, I have 2 tracks to show! This first one I will show is called The Average Front Yard. My main inspirations for this were MagicalHamster's ***Happy Park*** and a track called "Backyard" on a PC game entitled 3D Ultra Radio Control Racers Deluxe: Traxxas Edition (what a title for a racing game). In the upcoming photos, you'll see that you'll go on a sprawl through the woods first, then go through the front yard, which has a slide, a swing set, see-saws, a swimming pool, and two doghouses! Here are some photos:

There you have The Average Front Yard! As you can see, it's heavily inspired from ***Happy Park***! Feedback is appreciated (as always) and I think you'll like the next track coming up in the next thread!   :Thumbs:

Re: New Track - The Average Front Yard

Hi,

 

Marooned Isle was nice, but some corners seemed a little ambiguous, one especially near the end where you turn left but you can see chevrons telling you to go right on another path. I had a truely epic race against leghorns on this one though, for 2 and a half laps we were literally neck and neck the whole way, firing level ones pretty much only. So yeah it's a fun track but just a little annouing at that one corner.

 

Happy Park is great, but it is really heavily inspired by Happy Park, almost too much imo. That almost makes it kess enjoyable for me because your tracks are so creative normally, but this one it feels like you've taken most of the ideas from Hamster. Great track, but that makes it a little less enjoyable for me. 

 

Yet to try the chronoshpere one though. It looks good!

I had no idea why I created The Average Front Yard. I guess it was out of boredom, and I wanted to create something because I wasn't completely satisfied with how Marooned Isle turned out. I'm glad you like both of them, though (despite the one issue with Marooned Isle)!

Despite the obvious plagiarism, I actually enjoy your "Average Front Yard" a lot more than "Happy Park", I just feel it has a much nicer layout overall and less downright annoying bits where i'm needlessly flying through the air helplessly for ages! :smileyvery-happy:

 

As for "Marooned Isle", lovely track, but that one corner mini mentions IS a real pain that can often screw up your race at the worst possible moment. :smileysad:

It isn't my greatest work. Why else would I advertise the track with only one thumbnail?   :Lol:

 

I'm sorry for that one corner, by the way.
