Supertuxkart 20075/26/2023 ![]() The multi-player ‘ Soccer‘ mode, as the name suggests, involves a football (shock!) and some goal posts while ‘ Egg Hunt‘ is a bit less combative, involving driving around a track trying to pick up as many eggs as possible. Proving to be more versatile than a penguin on its back, this release also adds two new game modes. Even so, the official release is, legally, I am assured, a legitimate excuse for playing it all over again.Īmongst the new and improved stuff rocking up in this release is a new track based on Star Trek (‘STK Enterprise’), and updated versions of familiar favourites like ‘ Old Mine’, ‘ Lighthouse‘ and (though my personal un-favourite) ‘ Zen Garden’. ![]() So if you went hands on with that version there’s not that much new to find now. Now, I need to fess up: very little has changed since the release candidate that was pushed out a week ago. ![]() Characters can now wear customizable hats.After a whole year in the making – a process I assume involves wax, oil and those twirly car wash things – the latest and greatest version of SuperTuxKart is now available to download.įolks, it’s time to get your kart on.You can also compare Konqi’s old kart (below) to the new one (above). Sparking particles now emit from the kart’s wheel’s while drifting.It’s WIP, and the scoring system is not currently implemented and the system for making team’s is still a WIP. Currently, obstacles have been removed, but map makers could always re-add them. There is a test level derived from the Stadium arena. It’s a multiplayer game mode where two teams fight to push an oversized soccer ball into the opposing team’s goal. Soccer mode is one of our developer funto’s, pet projects. During the lap the game pauses periodically to explains things like how to control the kart, obtaining and using weapons and powerups, how to use nitro boosters and the skidding feature. The tutorial takes place on a modified version of the track “Hacienda” and the player takes a single lap around the track. It’s looking good.Īuria is developing a gameplay tutorials covering the core gameplay elements for new players. It now includes pedals and a steering wheel. Here’s what will likely be the final version of Konqi’s new kart. This is a level Samuncle is currently working on. It shrinks back down and the player can then drop it on the ground like in the current version of the game. The second phase happens if the fifteen seconds pass without the shield being destroyed. The explosion will also leave a larger smear on the ground, which if hit, will cause a moderate decrease in a player’s speed. The exploding shield would send pieces of bubble gum shrapnel and hit players within a certain proximity, blinding them for a couple seconds. If the player is hit by a weapon while the force-field is up, the shield is destroyed instead of the player taking damage. A pink bubble gum would expand into a force-field, protecting the player from enemy attacks for 15 seconds. This new phase would take place when the player first activates the gum. While not finalized, there is a plan to make it more useful by including an additional phase. The Bubble gum powerup currently is dropped by a player to create a track obstacle. Links are located at the bottom of the page. To try these new features out by compiling the latest source code from sourceforge page. STK’s permissive licenses mean, companies don’t need to contact us before using it in media. I am not entirely sure why they chose a kart racer game over, let’s say, postal 3, but licensing issues are likely to have played a prominent role in their decision. The episode was critical of drug use and videogames, so downloads for the game probably didn’t go up. The game has previously appeared in an episode of the show Friday Night Lights. It’s the second time STK has been featured in an unexpected place. For those who are interested, you can find the video in the last post. Second, last month we were featured in Microsoft’s IllumiRoom demo alongside Red Eclipse (another FOSS game) and Halo. This is a huge honor and a significant boost for the project, so please vote for us here. ![]() First, after 12 years of development, SuperTuxKart is a candidate for the March project of the month at Sourceforge. ![]()
