I was about to go there, but I didn't want to use such foul language in public.
We have decided on something else for the time being. Something involving papersprites.
(One of) the new Battle maps, Eerie Grove Zone!

A little critical here, but that zone looks a little off
The fog and the skybox looks fantastic but the rectangular pumpkin and the weird hill protruding out from the fog makes everything look a little off
But otherwise, SRB2KART looks great, It's Mario Kart except, with SRB2 stages and fun courses. Can't wait for the full release as things look fantastic.

This map looks excellent.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
The last time the weekly update went into more detail about what we want in our courses besides a simple screenshot was Crystal Abyss, which was quite a while ago. This week I'm going to go into detail about battle maps and provide some more detail than the usual.
This week's map is Fantastic Tabernacle by Tyrannosaur Chao:
Based loosely off of classic JRPGs, Fantastic Tabernacle takes place in and outside of a large tower just above the cloud line. It's one of the Krew's current favorite battle maps because it plays to the strengths of our SRB2Kart's battle mode, which requires a different design than traditional Mario Kart.
Our maps in battle mode are very compact. Battle plays at the lowest kart speed, so long straights and circular loops result in a slow-paced goose chase that isn't much fun for anyone. Battle courses instead focus on tight locations that encourage risky encounters and discourage camping. The open area in the final screenshot gives you a lot of room to breathe, but counters it by adding in pitfalls should you get careless.
Most of the newer maps follow this set-up. Areas with a lot of space result in less cover from attacks or more chances to fall of course, while smaller, tighter areas are safer from random, roaming items, but in turn can't defend properly against focused attacks.
Does anyone recognize those Shining faces on the walls?

toaster pops in with a great looking homage to Sonic 1, Marble Zone, a battle map!
Marble Zone's layout design is inspired by Super Mario Kart Battle Maps, but expands on the concept by forcing players to plan their routes more consciously. Falling blocks will block of your original driving route, and lava falls can temporarily close off escape points.
Marble Zone isn't anybody's favorite level in the game that it came from, but it's definitely come into its own here.

Here is a snippet of one of our many private netgame races during development. This race on Sunbeam Paradise was particularly fun,
so we thought we'd share the gameplay footage!

I love how the progress on SRB2 Kart is doing. It is going to be an amazing release.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE STAIRS
hype as td was babey!
Kart now has a new dynamic camera! Horizontal position is always consistent now, only zooming out when you break top speed, so you aren't always escaping the camera, leading to a better feeling of control. The vertical position will lag behind, just a bit, to make those slopes feel like a roller coaster. When drifting, the camera will pan over to show where you're going for more visibility (and to make close corner cutting feel even tighter!). When boosting, the camera will zoom close in before zooming back out, giving big boosts greater feeling of power.
Noticed our new drift sparks and booster effects, too?
