[Open Assets] BarkPark v3.9 3.9

[barkley]

Since rush adventure is one of my favorite sonic games, I thought it would be a good idea to try making a pack featuring every level from the game as a kart map! This pack currently features 3 race maps at this first beta release, with the final release ending at 6 total tracks (since sky babylon is actually being handled by someone else who is far more capable, i figured it would be fine to skip that one). Hopefully you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.

NOW introducing the latest cup, Barkpark Cup. This cup features only textures from srb2/k and are original ideas outside of inspirations from other sources. Starting with Crispy Canyon, there will be a grand total of 5 in this cup.

Edit: Now merged with the B&C pack as the barkpak. Really, I don't know why I didnt just do this in the first place as two seperate downloads is kinda offputting. I will still continue to update both packs, but all the changes will be in this new merged pak.

Current maps:
Map62 - Plant Kingdom
Map63 - Coral Cave
Map64 - Machine Labyrinth
Map65 - Haunted Ship
Map66 - Blizzard Peak
MAP67 - Pirate Island
MAPFN - Unist Hell
MAPSB - Street

[barkley]

Readded the latest ver of Rush adventure pack for download for any servers that still have it and have downloads disabled.

 

[barkley]

After a hiatus, barkpark is now updated to 2.0 with changes to a few maps and the inclusion of Machine Labyrinth to the collection. Enjoy!

 

[VGBoy]

A bit of a nitpick with Plant Kingdom's music and how it loops. The music abruptly stops and goes back to the very beginning, rather than looping like in the actual Rush Adventure game.

As of v2.4, both plant kingdom and haunted ship should both be looped correctly. I'm not gonna lie, looping certain songs can be a real drag.

 

[barkley]

Forgot to bump for 2.5 but now 2.5a is out with fixes to blizzard peak and texture renaming to remove conflicts

 

[barkley]

Barkpark 2.6 now out with the South Pole map from battle and chase. I took some liberties and picked a different song than what was used for the original as the original song was shared with the caverns track

 

[barkley]

2.7b out with arms factory

 

[barkley]

Sorry for forgetting to bump for 3.0 but maybe its for the best due to all the fixes. Anywho, 3.0b is out with Pirate Island being added in and a few changes to Toy Kingdom

 

[barkley]

3.1 officially released with the addition of Crispy Canyon, the first in the series of original tracks

 

[Starman91]

Crispy Canyon is so fun! Hard to master, but fun when you bounce around. I hope to see the jank in the races! I especially like the finish line pyramid bounce, it's quite spectacular

I'm glad you enjoy it! I personally feel its my best work, especially in the visuals department since i tried to sway away from custom textures and just use the textures from srb2/k themselves which overall felt a lot more flexible.

On that note, 3.1b is out with a few smaller changes to Crispy Canyon, Blizzard Peaks, Plant Kingdom, Arms Factory, and Toy Factory along with added level end signposts for all maps

 

[barkley]

Barkpark 3.2 now out with Melty Manor and the first hell map, Unist Hell, alongside a few balance changes to crispy canyon and plant kingdom

 

[barkley]

3.3 out with volatile volcano as a new map and both minor and major changes to multiple maps

 

[JEFFERoW2]

That's a lot of updates! lol
