Enhancing my Delfino Square Mod and Bringing it to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe [Track Revamp]

[@Tsicky]

I cannot express in words how much I love this series. Blender, Mario Kart, (piracy), literally what more could you ask for.

[@carlapirro]

This isn't piracy

[@gorgorgorg]

Where is the piracy?

[@TroboTicTac]

Piracy..? Where?

[@notcris1314]

Pieraci? What is that word? Never of of “Piracy”

[@CafeCharlie]

6:17 (not that I actually engaged in piracy or anything *winks under other eyepatch*)

[@alphabluu]

5:55 small correction here: in time trials, animal crossing is always set in the summer version and isnt based on real time

[@Mr.Galaxy2]

I love how this series is turning out. But I will say I kinda wished the starting banner wasn't just a slap on of the GBA Mario Circuit but instead a new looking banner. Unless that is just a placeholder, who knows

[@SomeRobIoxDude]

You can change it, its just kinda difficult and its much better to get everything else done first

[@That1One-Guy]

Do you know the story of the guy who every day moved a little bit of furniture to make his wife go insane, and then she did? That’s basically what you go through every time you mess with this track.

[@RedRubyMedia]

i randomly got recommended the complete "season 1" of this series and im obsessed. I love the progress, I love the format, getting advice from peoples comments between videos, and I love this track! Honestly everything you're doing is fun and inspiring and I cannot wait for more.

[@Gold_Yoshi]

I know at this point it doesn’t matter so much, but you can select which season the Animal Crossing track loads in by holding the Bumpers or Triggers. Each bumper and trigger corresponds to different seasons.

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

The part where you tried to barter with the program and hoped it respected your time was hilariously relatable

[@SupaDaBloopa]

Is there a way to like a video twice? In all seriousness, I really enjoy these videos. It’s refreshing to see a person struggle to create something, because it’s a great reminder that everyone is human. We all have to learn, and there’s enjoyment in that process, even with the struggle. This is a fantastic series and I’m here for all of it!

[@CafeCharlie]

Glad you enjoy them, thanks for watching!

[@germyoranges8025]

I just got caught up with your two previous Delfino Plaza videos, what amazing timing!!!

[@zestyitalian2975]

Same here!

[@NovaMSM]

Absolutely love the dedication that you're putting into this track, It's cool to see how much you've learned from this series

[@nathanskretkowicz4705]

This series is great, and it accurately represents game programming. Seeing this content feels quite similar to coding my own games in the fact that projects stop and start randomly throughout the year and sometimes get redone. I don't know if this happens to many other people, but some days, I get so focused on fixing a bug that I forget to eat, and I look at the window confused of the time. I have had my project for around three years and seeing this makes me want to work on my project again.

[@megamarvelousmarty]

Absolutely incredible work man 👍🏼

[@ARDIZsq]

I just want it to be known that this series has literally seeped its way into my dreams, so thanks for that. (Side note: first-person Mario Kart on this track goes hard, just trust me on that)

[@ItsMuggy]

These videos have been fun to watch. Big tip: To add water in a custom track, you need to add a 2D model plain in blender for the surface of water. Add the water texture/material in Track Studio. If the water doesn't show up in-game, you need to flip the 2D plain back in blender. The water box in TS you were messing with in this video is only for underwater driving. You can still use it for out of bounds when players fall in. Hopes this helps!

[@CafeCharlie]

Yeah I sort of suspected this was how it was done but wasn't sure. Thanks!

[@n14c0]

this is so much fun. for most modding videos, i see the idea and the end product, and smile and nod. you're making the process of learning, through the frustration and successes, so much fun as a piece of media. keep it up!!!!

[@pixelpunchyt]

I'm SO here for the youtuber to modder arc

[@s_cabbage]

I've loved this series since the start. The amount of perseverance you show is amazing! One thing I'll say is if you need music, I recommend the Delfino Square remix by Id (no purpose) on yt. They do an awesome job on the song.

[@ceo_reuben]

This project is one of my favorite ongoing KZbin series! If what you lack is support or apparent interest, please count my vote for interested and deeply invested!!!

[@titusr]

I really admire your patience. Its really cool to see a Custom Track being made from the ground up. Love this series

[@NezNen]

It's so great to see your skills improve along with the track itself. Really excited to see the final product, and also very excited to see some of the aforementioned winter/holiday content!

[@ai_is_a_great_place]

This is gna be so amazing at the end!! 🥳 I can't wait for next week's video!!

[@hatupat3186]

I literally just found this channel last night, watched the entire Delfino Square series and lo and behold, there’s a new video!

[@KardOreo]

I love seeing the progress of this !

[@ItzInvidious]

uh oh charlie just dropped i have to stop everything im doing

[@nicolaselhani]

Combining two of my favorite games of all time. You deserve a medal

[@fromixty]

This series feels like a movie, and I'm all for it.

[@StarryPenguin]

"Winks under eyepatch" LOL 😂 Yes of course. Nothing to see here, Nintendo 😳😇

[@ScarlettJett34]

Fantastic progress!

[@veryblocky]

I preferred the way the railing looked with the gaps a lot more than with the billboards

[@Aspertomrine]

Good job man! Been watching since this journey started!

[@TheMinersMax]

Literally just finished the all in one video what amazing timing

[@snowbYT]

what a great thing to wake up to!

[@islippedtheslime]

I have a suggestion for the December project: n64 frappe snowland!

[@BeefyMcWhatnow0]

I vote for a more faithful N64 Sherbet land. I’ve seen CTs of it but they kinda go too crazy and make the track unrecognizable

[@TeamKilday]

I love these videos!

[@Vycter_Real]

Always look forward to these

[@thegreatautismo224]

Animal Crossing is usually completely random, but can you can also choose a season by holding one of the shoulder buttons while the track is loading. Just not in Time Trials, though

[@Amieee]

Loving this series!

[@brobeckskazooremixes8703]

So hyped to watch this video rn

[@ProjectMirai64]

My favourite content to watch

[@greatwhite_gamer1781]

The big thing with wii u is that I add the dlc obj's to the mapobj folder so I don't run into the issues you had with the crashes when using the dlc tracks obj's. Most people have moved to switch anyway, and I don't blame you.

[@acekingbones]

6:10 btw Animal Crossing in Time Trials is always the Summer version

[@VanillaSpooks]

7/10 IGN no water

[@TroboTicTac]

5:53 no its not, on Time trials it will ALWAYS be summer, but on normal races its random

[@LuisDGamer]

Con esto sabes apreciar lo realmente difícil que es programar una simple pista de carreras en MarioKart, sobre todo cuando tiene 2 caminos diferentes. Ya me puedo imaginar lo difícil que fue para Nintendo hacer Yoshi Valley en MarioKart 64 xD

[@loool72]

i love your dry humor lol

[@De_an]

I do slightly miss the old trees that weren't ports directly from Animal Crossing. The new ones have a bit of a distracting "Animal Crossing" look to them, making them stick out in a track that doesn't really have anything to do with Animal Crossing.

[@ashtaka]

This Ryujinx website you used is not official, as Ryujinx's development has halted since Nintendo threatened the head dev. Just wanted to let you know.

[@CafeCharlie]

Ah ok, I was wondering about that. I heard that it was shut down and was kinda confused about how you should download it. But it worked well and I haven't noticed anything virusey yet lol.

[@koosloo_ulia]

This suffering seems like, well, uh... suffering. Good job on the progress though!

[@BeanoWild]

I think you should keep the leaf piles, but not the trees since they are directly pulled from animal crossing, which isn’t a Mario themed course.

[@skaahejo]

cool cool

[@marcelopaulo446]

I have an epic sugestion Charlie...what if you made the start gate banner...orange?Also you should make the finish line merge with the ground like plenty of mario kart 8 courses do.

[@jet711]

1:02 what song is used in the background here?

[@CafeCharlie]

It's called ' Grassland Action ' from ' Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!! '

[@jet711]

@@CafeCharlie Thank you! ^^

[@crestofhonor2349]

I'm surprised to see how much crashing there is with this model. I didn't realize so many things can just go wrong

[@SuperJGGaming]

Personally, I think the model is still a bit undersized looking at the alleyway section. That’s my only gripe!

[@sometf2player752]

I think you should give the track shadows because it being full bright is a bit.....you know 9:38 also you should probably fix the fact that these signs are going into the ground

[@V3YRO420]

Awesome video This comment is for the almighty ALGORITHM

[@KuppaTruppaYT]

I think it would be cool to have a glider ramp on the moving bridge

[@chowainc2905]

its baaacckkkk!

[@leongamin3834]

Please take attention to draw calls. I am not sure how the modding Programm handles it automaticly

[@Saaaten]

doesnt mario kart 8's engine have cast shadows?

[@MasterLYT]

Well darn, I was hoping for this track on Wii U as I dont want to mod my switch until I get a switch 2

[@midnight_blue_moon]

If I could make a small suggestion, the color of the grass is really weird, especially when you're actually playing it. It looks like there's frost on the ground, which could be cool, but doesn't match with the autumn trees.

[@buddermantheamazing]

Definitely not a fan of how the sign wall looks, the fence was way better. If it has to be a solid wall I'd make it match the buildings and path more, maybe sort of a cobblestone wall type thing. Please do fix that one, it adds a whole different weird vibe

[@MiroBouchard]

Cool

[@quagiscool]

Not sure if they are the same object, but if they aren't, maybe try using the Maple Treeway leaf piles.

[@SomeRobIoxDude]

YEAH!!!! I was rly worired mk8d users werent able to play this track and thankfully it seems like unwillingly you kinda had to… uhh……

[@w-m780]

nice

[@JudeSaliba]

Can you please do 3DS wuhu loop for your next custom track?

[@sbubbt2318]

is it possible to do anything with the lighting

[@nicholaspearce2250]

@Charlie’s cafe, there is a light problem with the Animal Crossing trees. They are a different colour than the rest of the trees in the map and I actually really prefer the more golden tree texture. Do you think there would be a way to change the colour of the trees and leaf piles to match that of the rest of the track?

[@MERCHIODOS]

You should fix one of the Winter Booster Pass tracks that like you did with Coconut Mall.

[@Maelys_ACNH]

I might be imagining this, since I'm not qualified to talk about this at all, but shouldn't the track be scaled up slightly ? A lotta areas feel a bit cramped, at least to me as a viewer.

[@bronwynknox3605]

I felt the opposite! Mario looks too small to me. Maybe it’s just right then 😂

[@SpinyRat]

some of the track seems really cramped, like the start area looks fine but some alleys n such seem a bit thin to be played on properly with other racers, but also i might just be stupid

[@JudeSaliba]

Also, I think you should scale it down slightly

[@GoopyOnYoutube]

For the leaf piles, could you use the maple treeway ones instead? I’ve never modded anything in my life but it seems like it may work

[@freddcario5586]

Im wondering if Nintendo Devs struggle with the whole "I did some coding; let's test it , then it crashed and they try to figure it why" ?

[@leongamin3834]

In most cases your IDE(programming program) tells you why it crahsed

[@Taloblade]

I wonder if you could take advantage of the increased power of the switch?

[@JudeSaliba]

Can you please do gcn peach beach next

[@Leopez02]

Wait is it possible to make Mario Kart track mods by myself and is it hard? I would love to play your tracks like that Delfino Square what deserved to be in MK8D well maybe it's in Mario Kart 9/X in 2025: Here we goo wahoo! 🏝🏎💨🔥

[@soulsmwc]

Please submit this to CTGPDX.

[@Baxiljn]

How do I play this on Wii U (I already have Aroma CFW)

[@JudeSaliba]

I think you should change the Mario Kart banner because the Mario circuit one just doesn’t really fit at all well

[@Fr4c3]

Discord server when? Have you ever tried tò make terraria or MC custom Adventure Maps?

[@EdLovelace-l7x]

Bro why would you remove the railingsss they look way better then the sign walls

[@MinerBruh]

hello o/

[@xFlippy]

Send it to ctgp deluxe!

[@Herothecreaturemaker]

Nintendo switch emulating? Tsk tsk tsk (I say as i just found a score of ratchet and clank roms im going to emulate)

[@FunkyDot]

The in game map is too big

[@hyperstar4k]

u need to learn how to make procedural textures, this would make things so much easier and would create a far better looking product

[@aykarain]

3:00 imo it looks terrible lmao i think you should just add more bars instead...

[@JudeSaliba]

Please fix the rail and they look terrible with the sponsors

[@ObjePoly]
