4:39 "Oh boys I found a fix for the rocks" - Dapper finding the cheese on other peoples tracks.

[@Lorkanthal]

Trust the expert to find the cheese

[@donalddickerson206]

This is why Dapper was such an important add to the group. Balanced out the various personality types. I'm interested to see an episode with all 6 including Scrapman and Moonbo.

[@sebastiaankoopman3304]

Dapper is a hero, not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.

[@psiah9889]

kAN: "This track is uncheeseable!" Dapper: "Hold my shadow quality." :P

[@otherm7689]

Not the hero we want, but the hero we get.

[@homevids]

When people who don't suffer from epilepsy have seizures you know you've gone slightly overboard with the flashiness

[@MaxMckayful]

Started watching this at 4:20 PM PDT. Perfect! Also, making the rocks dark grey under shadows and grey checkpoints is pure PAIN. Dapper has the evil hat but the kAN true villain arc continues. Excited for a return to the kAN pro gamer arc and enjoying this in the meantime.

[@FondlesHandles]

alright, now make a track where its nothing but checkpoints in midair. where the checkpoints become the track

[@ItsBeePOfficial]

Kosmo did this

[@FondlesHandles]

@@ItsBeePOfficial not seeing it. when did he do it?

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

@@FondlesHandles His 100 checkpoint track had parts of it be built out of checkpoints.

[@FondlesHandles]

@@5peciesunkn0wn i legit cant find it. you know the title or when it was uploaded?

[@FondlesHandles]

@@5peciesunkn0wn nvm found it, but thats not what i meant. i meant a tunnel hovering in the air, made out of checkpoints.

8:26 "I mean, a split time is fundamentally based." - Yannic 2023

[@scrap5407]

lmao

[@sourSharkey]

I absolutely never comment on videos but the discussion on checkpoints was absolutely massive in terms of community knowledge. This is why games like Zeep and Trackmania can never have live counters on splits while every traditional racing game can. Maybe its just the Engineer to Engineer speak in it all but it was a glorious explanation by both as to why it happens.

[@paulkanja]

it is technically possible but in practice it's almost impossible to pull off in case yannic ever wants to implement this as a feature, he could simply add a review time to public tracks (so the track is available 30 minutes or an hour after uploading) and have trained AI model bots do a few quick runs of the and map it out, then use this map of the track as a basis for the calculation. For a simpler method, track pieces could use checkpoint logic to give splits

[@sourSharkey]

@@paulkanja I think you got the only option in that last point. Every track piece would need to act as a checkpoint. BUT beyond that, you would need every track piece to constantly gather data so it would be like the entire piece is a series of something like 10 hidden checkpoints.

[@paulkanja]

@@sourSharkey both are valid options,, one is just hard to implement and keep bug-free,, the other is potentially laggy

[@Rexicalico]

as someone who is contrast colorblind particularly in greys i didnt notice there were rocks till you mentioned them and i was still confused cause i could only just barely see them

[@TheZotmeister]

Dapper has transcended finding cheese. He now finds METACHEESE

[@realRyanMeade]

“The engineers put the rocks into the road” RCE prefers the term “Architect”

[@dannypipewrench533]

Despite everything the architects tried, this track was still somewhat efficient. Not as efficient as it could have been, but still somewhat efficient.

[@Yojimbothewookie]

Kan "My tracks aren't pain." Also kan: "No!!!! you cheesed my track by turning off shadows!!!!"

[@shadow123456987]

I do like that dapper is the one that spotted the cheese (if you can call the shadow settings that)

[@LunaliBrighteyes]

The HOA only allowed one color of checkpoint which happens to match the rocks.

[@SapioiT]

Now you have to make a singing track, using the clicking.

[@ThePilotBlog]

pro tip, watch it in 144p its a masterpiece

[@iceofwolf]

The podium view frames the track just right to look like a rear end plopping all the racers out.

hehe nice but kan try to make a 420 with 69 checkpoints or 690 checkpoints

[@AlechiaTheWitch]

[@archer_of_azure]

The "live split" would be the ghost function some games have

[@pcenero]

7:57 I feel like you can approximate real-time time comparison by getting the vector of current player position with player's best ghost position at that exact time, calculating how much velocity contribution that is aligned with the position delta vector, then dividing the distance by velocity to get an approximate time (ahead or behind).

[@TatharNuar]

those shadows obscuring the rocks are *devious*

[@ArneiroS]

the checkpoints on this track are to compensate for the times that the others did not have or had few

[@u12bdragon]

The best way to fix the ingame live split issue is to draw a line where the validation time is, then where the most popular paths are, with forks in the road for shortcuts. Don't show this line to the players. Measure their progress by where they are on the line, measured where the line is closest to their current position. Don't display their split at all if they are EITHER off the player-placed track pieces or over a certain distance from the hidden line.

[@RigItRay]

Nice! The best numbers on one track.

[@HonestAuntyElle]

The KZbin compression on the shadows was AWFUL thankyou for turning them off

[@sonorangaming449]

Missed opportunity to call it "Noice"

[@kidsalex13]

i tried this track recently, and with the checkpoint update its impossible because you cant look ahead

[@icefirepython]

Rather than having a live split timer, having a ghost of your best time would work.

[@DarkValorWolf]

this one was NOT made with youtube in mind dear god hahaha

[@graylinbeaudry4651]

this was a really cool track, i actually liked the clicking and i feel bad that they found a way to cheese it. the shadowed rocks were a clever challenge.

[@dglesterhardunkichud4287]

I don’t really know much about the world of game devs and what not, other than the few I’ve seen on KZbin, but I do have to say that Yannic is my all time fav dev/creator 100%. I wanna buy zeepkist, and all his other games, just because of him lol (and of course because they’re great games)! Love the vids guys! Keep up the dream work

[@Structed-2]

I remember when you first made the survival scrap mechanic videos. At that time my family just bought a new house. I still remember the smelll of everything lol.

[@videogamefaith]

Just because you could doesn't mean you shouldn't ever question whether or not you should
