Magnum Opus: RELEASED

Working just on this track again. After taking a ~2 month break from this I've got a lot of fresh and cool ideas. I played through the entire thing again and I'm re-doing parts making it more fun and creative. It is nowhere near done though, not even half way.

 

Still not sure if I want it to be beatable or not, I'd need teleporter power-ups to make that work at least. It's a giant map with 6 routes right now, so I could make a teleporter at the end of each route and a star, so that if you were to complete all six routes you'd complete the track. Still not sure about that though

 

Yeah the achievement thing is cool, but I'd love to see some awesome ghosts through the entire track, and being able to beat a track is a good thing, but that's why I said, still not sure how I'll do this

 

Now I have (checked strats ghost), yeah that's a way to do it that I've been thinking about. Would make the track take even more time to make though, but could be better. I'm currently not working on the track though because of the remix contest but yeah, I'll think about it

 

Yeah making it all link would increase the feel of a connected world, so it would be sweet, my track really splits into 6 directions and I'd preferably have all the ends of those routes link back to the start, so making a route back would take a lot of time for me, but it might be worth it. Yeah I'm doing alright with my remix, got a nice theme going on finally and hopefully it'll turn out great

 

After thinking about it some more I have to agree with you and I'm going to try to make it without help of a teleporter power-up, by making routes leading back to close to the starting point. This should be doable for all but 2 routes, with which is going to be a little harder, but I'll figure it out

This is the only track I'm going to be working on for the comming weeks and I've already added a bunch !

 

Track is now ~400k and about 4 times longer than the longest track I've ever made with 2 routes now that are over 2 minutes long !
It's also pretty detailed. When I started out with this it was going to be a bit quantity over quality but I changed my mind on that. Everything is going to be nicely detailed and every section will be unique and have an own feeling to it that fits the setting. I think that the routes will be about 3 minutes on average, some longer, some shorter. Don't expect it out anytime soon, but I'll keep you guys updated.

 

I'll release a few more along the way

 

It's just my style of detailing and the fact that a lot of parts are pretty much not detailed at all yet . The size of this track should go up exponentially though when I switch the focus to detailing
