    The randomly placed art is pretty cool, although it would be nice to see an actual finished track from you two (have hardly no white spaces, & fully detailed) instead of posting half-finished decent art tracks.

    randomly placed art? LOL we dont do that sh*t
    and as far as i know, Maple has no habbit of posting half finished tracks, and when it comes to me there are plenty of finished tracks on my profile aswell :p

    Lol chill man, it is randomly placed unless you can otherwise prove my perception wrong, since there's more art than detail :p and that's great man!! Good to hear y'all don't have a habit of posting unfinished tracks!! I guess that means the next one will actually be finished amirite? :)

    You should have just said thanks for saying your art was cool instead of gettin' all heated lmao.

    the statues on the right side of the track might seem randomly placed, aswell as the 2nd castle. but there were different detail surrounding them, which we desided to remove at some point... so im sorry, because you couldnt know that :p my perception of randomly placed art is like these sprite tracks, or eli's tracks aso, and i dont like to see it compared to that. cus afterall, they require nothing :p

    i wasnt getting heated lol :p but i must admit that i dislike that you consider art and detail two different things in this matter, cus afterall, our detail is art, and our art is our detail. :cool:

    Oh man, I'm just liking the posts because heat. Never thought your art is random though, just never completely done to justify why it's there.
    Still fudge ton better than sprite tracks these days RIP.

    Nice man, now doesn't it feel good to not show your ego in a post for once? :p
    Although I do consider art and detail virtually the same thing! it's just I was hoping there would've been more landscape detail involved :p specifically foreground scenery where the rider goes through, just know that adding a few scenery lines won't hurt the quality of your track it'll actually make it stand out more imo :) cause foreground has been absent in this track and also your latest one, so I feel like it's time to add some in. I'm in no way saying you have to, just suggesting if you and maple really want to go for the "best track ever".

    I still think that the blank spaces between the foreground and the background are odd and that your tracks would look much better if you were to fill that with just scenery lines. That way the black stays black and completely your style but the detail will feel a bit more connected. Felt the same way with bombongo island where you had trees cut in half with half of it floating. You should give it a try (y).
    This is honestly one of the best things I've ever played though and it's really really sad that it wasn't completed :p Can't wait for any other thing you guys release

    i know what you mean. but i think its all about illusion. (improved the "illusion" in my new mario track, which is also black) bombongo was more of an half-arsed project, just to earn some quick coins. i believe in all black. i just think i still need to find the key, that doesnt make the "spaces" apparent. one day i hope to make the sickest forest track in all black, i just need to figure out the tree code first.
    here is a shot by lolz btw, which still makes a sufficient illusion, and it never bothered me that these were cut in half. but then again, he is the king.

    I get what you mean and the all black thing is certainly cool, but for me this looks unfinished as well and it would be better imo if all the trees were like the one on the left.
    But it's mostly for background stuff though, because background trees would miss the lower half, making them float above the rider, which bothers me a lot more than the top missing.

    Just above where you tooks this screenshot is a tree like where the top part is black and you can see that lolz made the bottom part with scenery lines :)

    Yeah the art seems really random but its surroundings have been removed since we weren't satisfied with them. We prob erased off around 300k
