Offbrand's Oddballs V5.2

so .... it's been a little bit since I've said anything about the next update

this is mostly because I wanna make a pretty big update that's ready in time for the pack's first anniversary in August

I'm not entirely sure what the final update roster will be


but I just completed one new character that I wanna show off


that being....

the great Western engine

Duck

yep.

my second custom kart character is duck

he has a lot more lua than Acer this time around too- Custom engine sounds, kart husk, and even custom gibs

I have plans for more Thomas characters to arrive in This update

those being... Diesel, and a troublesome truck

anyway

next update might actually be the update itself

see ya then

woah- ok well

i wasn't expecting this but uh .. thank you all

I'm working as hard as I can on v5.5 alongside some other stuff so hopefully I can get that stuff out before July

once again

thank you all for a total of 2000 downloads!

so .. it's been a bit since a proper update

so I thought it would be the right time to kinda

do a more v2 centered update next

as the changelog states

Dusknoir

Spongewow, Plankton, and Stupid sonic will receive V2s

and for the newbies..

I'm considering

Comic Orange, a Troublesome truck

and maybe the nerd Waddle Dee (it's honestly more original than what I was gonna do

I plan for this update to be ready by late June if anything

i gotta focus on the last M&M's Ring Racing update anyway

so-

I finally fixed some stuff and removed some stuff

basically this update removes

the M&M's

and the starters characters

why?

simple

they were in their own pack and I didn't see the need to keep them in Oddballs anymore

the roster is at a pretty comfortable 15 characters at the moment and will most likely bump up to 20 pretty soon..

I also fixed the dynamite Derby support bonus that's in the individuals download

that's basically it

so... I might as well inform people before I make this change but

there will be massive roster cuts in the next update

who will be cut?

the M&M's and the starters characters

why?

simple, because they don't need to be in this pack when they have their own character packs

yeah
i forgot this update internally has dynamite Derby support so uh... yeah
I'll probably put out a hotfix where it's in the individuals download only as I intended

So uh... this stuff was gonna be saved for v5.5 but

world mario really needed to go


so uh

take another starters character in his place-

here were go..

this is something I bet at least one person was wondering

custom tracks and will I make any

and the answer for now is

no

I've taken a hard look at high voltage ring and it just overwhelms me

the guide that is up isn't very good for me (mostly cause text based guides just never work for me)

I'll gladly make assets for tracks if anyone really wants my assistance and knows how to do this thing (and is doing any tracks from the cars 2 game -)

otherwise

I'm just gonna stick with this stuff (character making, and asset swapping)

so.. this is gonna be an interesting one but

I'm now gonna try and make content for myself for this pack

essentially meaning that the character roster is gonna get interesting

alongside some character cuts

so far

world mario and homer will be cut from the pack until I can make better versions of them

so uh .. that's it for now

why do I say this well


I'm gonna just make stuff and say nothing about it until the update launches


in August

yes

there will not be another update till August

why?

I'm currently running a Collab that i believe should get all my attention so that's why I'm not gonna really say much so I don't feel pressured to release stuff

so... see ya till then!
