    But freerider is not the same medium as pen and paper. There is a gameplay element to it. It just doesn't seem right to not use the potential that the medium offers to creatives. It's like making a video game but when you turn it on its just one long cutscene and the game ended. It told a story, it was beautiful to watch, but the player would likely still feel dissatisfied.

    So just follow the "good track" canons?
    Idk man, its a drawing doodle game, do whatever u want, main purpose of a track like mine is for me to just have a bit of fun w arts.
    The purpose of the tracks is personal and would be different for everyone

    This guy... the medium of the game is a challenge factor. Doing something that wouldnt be natural with it would be more interesting.
    Really cool and fitting refernce btw, almost like u dont get satisfied from something that is "beatiful to watch"

    You didn't purchase a videogame to watch a movie.

    Nah, I'm talking about tracks with random rides that feel like they were second thought and built around the detail instead of with the ride in mind.

    this has to be the thing that I struggle with most. I thought that remix might help a little bit, give me more creativity to do what i want and then they chose a smooth jumps track :mad:.

    I wish that it was so much easier to come up with a ride, or to detail around a ride, but I guess that it wouldn't be as special.

    Smooth jumps are some of the hardest to make interesting and fun.

    you’ve never played any kojima games hahah, or fov games! there’s so many ways to interpret how to go about making the stuff. we can only go with
    1) what we can physically actually create
    2) what feels right in that moment to have been made
    i agree with you, btw. love the gameplay part of this game more than detail. what’s reeeeally cool is when they’re combined, and when the detail almost compels you to play it the way it needs to be played. i remember exalted having a little slowdown at the two bird creature areas from the amount of lines in those sections, gave it a sense of grandeur that wouldn’t happen if you just kept flying at max speed. the subconscious effect the game part can have on the player can emphasize the drawings, the themes, atmospheres trying to be made. with absolutely no coding! absolutely wack

    If the dude isn't an alt then I'm willing to say he's the best piece of raw talent this game has seen since the likes of lolz666, Maple, Cynic etc. in terms of art skills. But the techniques used and overall quality of the track says otherwise. I'm willing to bet it's a vet in an alt returning to the game if I had to put my money on anything

    He is an irl artist, def not an alt by the style he draws, very unique and bold, he is a newish player, but the thing that stands out with me is how fast they grasped the frhd editor and the game itself. He isn't "that new" and already has over 6k points. So idk tbh, I have seen some of his irl art, looks amazing, this guy is totally new imo.
