sry to hear it’s been so difficult! Its our first attempt really so we’re bound to make a few bad judgements >.<
We’re revamping things today a bit, so that the death match will be running continuous, more like our MMO goal. Ppl will be able to come and go at will.
For driving instructions, they can be found at the bottom of the Kong page.
The garage only allows a few customizations atm. being one of the artists, i should have put on the non functioning features (Disabled) as a notification. You can however change tires, paint jobs, headlight colors, and weapons types. It does cost money, so you’ll need to have enough to cover whatever upgrade you are trying to do. The rest of the features will be coming in within the next few weeks. As well as more maps and event styles etc. We tried to be intuitive in the sense that, if you click on the transmission stand, you can make transmission adjustments. If you feel its not working, what do you think would make the garage work better? Being menu driven instead, with nested options?
For in game lag, we’re also adding an options page so folks can turn down their settings. Any idea on what you think might be causing the lag? The map is 2000X2000. is that just too big to be practical? Everything could have been scaled down so it would be something we could consider, and may even be able to correct still. As far as the garage lag goes, i can only think lighting, since we’re using deferred lighting from multiple sources for multiple shadow casts from the gear. We’re fairly low poly in all construction so i don’t think its our assets. just my guess tho.
Any other suggestions, or observations? Thanks all for your input too! Its the only way to improve ^^
@Macspeedee - i dunno what to offer for Kong errors, i can say tho that after the contest we’ll be hosting it ourselves as well, so you wont need to go to Kong to try it. The voting ends in like a few more days i believe. Wish i could help =(
@Educa - i was in the game you entered, thanks for dropping by and trying it! the instructions for driving are at the bottom of the kongregate page if you wanna take a look there. Once we’re hosting and not trying to funnel all traffic thru Kong we’ll have a dedi page for it with controls etc. The Kong setup is just temp for the contest.
