[Unity] Touhou Kart - Early Alpha
#46
Well, this game is a lot like Crash Team Racing, and unfortunately there won't be any bullet hell segments. It's perhaps something to consider in the future, though.

Here's a little sneak preview of what I've been working on:

Oh yes this is something I'm very interested in. A friend and I put together a ton of ideas and started working on making a Touhou Kart about a year ago but it fell apart due to a heavy college load. I'm glad to see that somebody else is making it so that way we don't have to.

We don't have any resources to contribute but here's this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgLA...nG-btE/pub
I'm sure you already have a ton of your own ideas already but maybe seeing ours will spark something. We tried to use stuff from all of the games rather than just the super popular ones.

Oh man, a racer with Touhou characters! Kick ass !
Very nice slope physics from what I can see in the video. The carts going to shoot stuff too?

There's a fairly recent video showing a full race, including spell cards!

Well, I'm about to head off for the night, but I thought I'd just share these preview screenshots with you, first:

Was there any particular map of gensokyo you used for that?

It looks pretty good though, aside from some obvious texture tiling.

No. I've been using artwork from various different Touhou games as reference, but not once consistent map. I'm not intending this game to be 100% accurate (I mean, it's not like there's canonically a racetrack around Hakurei Shrine, either), just to capture the spirit of each area.

The texture tiling is far less obvious ingame, though I may well retouch some of the textures.

This looks amazing! I was thinking of making something related to Touhou but your idea trumps all :>

Thanks! I'm afraid I can't do much work on it at the moment, as I'm currently back at university, and have to focus on that. I will, however, be back to work come the Christmas holidays.

Hands up, who thought this project had died?

Those are some really nice screens!


Just wondering (and not sure if you mentioned anything about it already or not), but what alternative modes (if any) are you planning to include?
I recently discovered that I don't enjoy SonicAllStarsRacingTransformed as much I'd like simply due to the lack of an empty free-run mode (where there aren't any ghosts, opponents, or items; just me and the race course), as well as the inability to turn items off in normal races.

That's actually a thing I wanted to make. A combination of two of my favorite genres: racing games and rail shooters! But I keep getting sidelined by other things (and kinda intimidated by 3d). Also, dodging danmaku in 3d without vr seems like it could be really finicky, unless one just went the Star Fox route and have dodging be more about rolling away quickly from aimed shots rather than moving precisely. But lol this line of thought is diverging away from the thread really fast...

i cant believe i skipped over this part of your post earlier, i'm a jerk

If you jump off a ramp, you'll boost when you hit the ground. You'll also boost when you stop drifting, as long as the smoke has turned black. If you drift for too long, however, you'll spin out of control, and have to accelerate from stationary again!
ok sold

also is zuns girlfriend going to be in this? this is important.

The plan is to have various modes, including a Time Trial mode, which will just be an empty course that you have to get through as fast as possible. It will be possible to play this against ghosts, but not compulsory.

I plan for Aya to be a boss race, and an unlockable character. So... yes.

are you pulling assets from somewhere or making them by hand? the massive disparity in detail between objects is very noticeable. there's also a lot of objects that don't cast shadows right next to objects that do, and some of those textures have tons of detail and bump/normal/height mapping while others' do not.

in terms of the screenshots themselves, it looks like the sun is casting a harsh orange light onto the sky and clouds(the clouds might be overly-bright) yet the environment is receiving a white-blue light. paired with the heavily-saturated green color and blue fog, the colors are very confusing.
