Question Vehicle changer power-up

I loved the old vehicles, and I personally think removing them was one of the worst changes done to the game
Whether you make them appear as starting vehicles, or as powerups, I don't really care, as long as I get to use them again. But I if I were to choose, I'd prefer having the possibility to change starting vehicles.

 

What did you like better Blob or the heli

 

Both of them.
the balloon and uni offered greater difficulty, while the truck didnt really offer anything, i think the heli and the blob brought alot of new opportunities for a more exciting and different ride.

 

i like the idea of only giving the power-ups to official authors, to limit the potential abuse, so members have to earn the rights to use them. but i dont think the bike should be given different properties, i love the idea of bringing the old vehicles back

 

The return of Operation Ellipsis?

 

this pleases me

 

is that the final version or is it in dev

 

lol dev

 

the aesthetics of it look extremely unstable. (then again, it was a thing in the other fr's too)
why dont you make the brakes more powerful and increase the acceleration of the left/right movement?

 

meant in devolepment hey found this site called roblox that you can make games out of lua almost done with my first one

 

lol where did you find that track?

 

lol Yup, thats your track.
The interwebs.

I haven't started balancing it. I will soon.

 

whats next blobby

 

nice, how about a smoother transition though?
like you keep the speed from the speed you have when you hit the powerup? if thats understandable?
makes it more realistic

 

I see what you mean, but you still have breaks to reduce speed, before going into the vehicle powerup though.
As for the uni, which is a special case, "new riders" won't be able to use the unicycle on its own anyways (most likely. Unless you make it easier from the original). I myself never used it, ever, because it was too damn hard. The unicycle will most likely only figure in either autos, or trials by more "advanced" members.

Based on Char's example, apart from the awesome fact that it involves the chopter, The vehicle switch looks really bad simply because of the sudden change in speed. And I really hope you end up with some transition effects.
Except from speed alterations? How about a flash or something down that road?

 

I think the speed should be kept when you change, because it looks more badass. Imo.
Maybe if the game slows down as you change... that could work. It'll give the player more time to react.

As for the animation, I think it should look like this.

(It hasn't really worked though, the bike was meant to morph by getting thinner, lol.)
