This was posted a year ago. How did I only just noticed it now?

@@vanni44 Well at least I noticed it now. Shame that it's still in an incomplete state. I wonder if its still being worked on, or if updates have slowed down for some time.

[@GoonTunez97]

You’re doing the work of the gods!!

[@zuhlenhuth]

This is amazing! I will try to download to play test soon. Some things that I can tell right off the bat though are 1. Cannonball should continue straight on if there is no target to lock on to. It looks like yours fly into the sky 2. The column at the end of the pyramid track should fall down across the track at the end of the 2nd lap 3. It doesnt look like you've implemented power slides yet. Those are the sharp turns you can do when you hold down spacebar in the original game, crucial for beating the time trials 4. No afterburner animation with the green powerups yet! 5. No afterburner boost on start?? You could do this in the original when you press gas on the 1 count

[@ChocoRainbowCorn]

Cannon ball was never supposed to be targeting anything or anyone though.. Can we please not have it target anyone at all? It doesn't really make you want to play the game all that much in multiplayer, since it was supposed to be an item that you would have to aim manually. Also scaling of things. Anyway I'm just sad what this has ended up being despite the work, and the worst part is what they have stated at the end of the video about upgrading graphics, that this isn't something they want to finish...

[@zuhlenhuth]

​@ChocoRainbowCorn there's still a chance he'd finish it, especially if it got more engagement. But anyways, he did post instructions on all the steps he took which others could follow to finish the project

[@simonspajzer]

Looks majestic!

[@shurley96]

Ferrari Pit Crew in action at 0:33! This looks good though, i must give it a go.

[@GeriatricFan1963]

TBF they skipped Ferrari and went full Sauber. Rocket Racer would make thing so much easier for himself if he hired a pit crew from literally any company other than Octan...

[@RoPanuganti]

This is a fantastic if not challenging endeavor and it's awesome to see you've been able to work on the original's assets to bring them into Unity and start your work. Is there a website/contact you have available, I'd love to reach out about a similar Lego Racers project I'm working on.

[@Scratshouille]

This is amazing. Thank you so much.

[@H8ED1]

THIS IS NEXT LEVEL EXCITING! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK~!

[@ibrahimbenghali7474]

Cool bro this game was so much fun back then loved it so much glad my childhood was awesome thanks to these old games:D

[@Starkat1138]

Absolutely awesome!

[@sergecamping]

This is amazing!! Will you be adding in new maps in the future aswell? You are doing gods work

[@irulez22]

I plan to add all maps from the original game, I have currently been working on adding additional features to the lr1 map viewer to allow for exporting powerup position and bot paths data, apologies for the long delays between posts/updates, I don't have much free time anymore

[@sergecamping]

@@irulez22 no apologies bro you are doing gods work, me and my brothers waited like 14 years for this hahaha so we can wait a little longer😂

[@JackTheOrangePumpkin]

Is this still live? Yes it is. Please continue the development. You are doing god's work (or the universe's work if you prefer)

[@ChocoRainbowCorn]

It is not, sadly, and they have stated at the end of the upgrading the graphics video that this won't ever be a full remake. As amazing as the work is, I'm seriously disappointed in this..

[@lassebangsgaard9422]

Excited to see multiplayer being added for download. Would be fun to play with friends!

[@denyfixe1000]

AWESOME!!!

[@mikeyarcades]

So we have a pc port of vigilante 8 2nd offense, perfect dark (requires rom of your own or "borrowed" file) and this game! This is awesome

[@jefechief2953]

Ah, finally i tried it out!! My pc is weak for egines like that, but its not your fault, i just noticed my computer almost burned hahah. First of all, i'm tested, and i LOVE it. The graphic is better than the original. The car designs are more cooler. Some critic stuff to make it better: Noticed the powerups are too large, or the cars are too small, i think maybe needs a resize. Noticed the map borders sometimes annoying, when you can fall off from the map, so needs something block. The controling is okay, however sometimes too sensitive. I'm played many years lr1 and the game has fantastic controling system, and maybe needs fix abit less sensitive turning. Noticed the warp hole powerup a bit buggy when drop you down at the end, it's a bit weird you lost the speed and just drop. Also noticed the warp always drop to a point, which makes too easy cut off the half map, maybe need something fix, do not drop always the same point. The game physic is not bad, at all, but..many times makes bugs, and this egine not my friend at all, its just very funny and weird unity's physic. But in all, I think this game remake is not so bad in begining. If you can make it better, and fix these bugs, and create more playable, i think it would works. I still support you, and follow the updates! And please keep it up, cuz it's really interesting and amazing!

[@irulez22]

Thank you for taking the time to test and reply with things that need fixing, I have added in a FPS cap options menu, you can choose between unlimited, 60fps, or 30fps (these lower options will hopefully help performance for you). I noticed I was clipping through the fence on Imperial grand prix, I presume this is what you meant by the map boarders? I have now fixed this fence. You're absolutely correct about the scaling of the game, I will attempt to make these more accurate for the V0.0.2 which I hope to push out tomorrow/later today

[@irulez22]

V0.0.2 is available, I hope the FPS cap helps :)

[@jefechief2953]

@@irulez22 So much better!! Thanks !! Some bricks are too high now, because the resize, but the point has been fixed. Also something bug happened at dark forest dash cuz you can't finish the level, i tried 2 times and seems something went wrong. The FPS problem solved, its playable now under 30 FPS and my pc doesn't heated up now. The game it'self awesome, keep working on it. I gladly would be the beta tester.

[@Adri9570]

A solution to how the warp works would be to use the blue tube (the texture of the warp itself) as a cage that traps you inside some seconds and advances through the road fast enough (like the Turbo power up) but above the ground to avoid collisions with other cars.

[@paulelderson934]

​@@Adri9570That's how the original game does it as well right? Holding down gas slows you down in the warp, because you're travelling above the car top speed.

[@alejandromorazan3420]

This is awesome

[@Kim_Anderzzon]

Wow, great job dude! Are you still working on the game?

[@Leave3D]

I've been waiting a long time for this! Are you still working on it?

[@uuborg9216]

YOOOO

[@ChocoRainbowCorn]

The only sad thing about this is that it's unlikely to continue.. I also hope the game doesn't become a mix of content from different LEGO games because that really wouldn't be all that great. And final thing.. Despite the amazing work, can you please make the canon ball not target anyone? It never worked that way in the original. Thanks.

[@signorelephant]

Do you think it would be possible to add additional tracks and characters into this just for fun

[@boromir0062]

Will the side characters be playable like royal king and rob n hood?

[@irulez22]

That's easy enough to implement, the assets are all there 🙂

[@boromir0062]

​@irulez22 😮 that would be amazing

[@boromir0062]

​@@irulez22ya it was really annoying in the original game you couldn't recreate thier karts perfectly so many pieces were missing.

[@zuhlenhuth]

I gotta be able to play as Achu lol

[@boromir0062]

@zuhlenhuth Iol I really just want them all. It always bothered me that you couldn't recreate their karts perfectly

[@jknMEMES]

But why is the intro just an AI upscale of the original intro?

[@earlgrayteabeard8471]

Controller support?

[@ThomasSchannel]

will you upgrade the graphics?

[@giba2002]

Link? pls?

[@Google_Censored_Commenter]

A shame you abandoned this project. I would definitely play a version 0.0.5

[@signorelephant]

What's make you think he abandoned it, just curious of your reasoning. I guess it has been a year, but he could still be working on it.

[@Google_Censored_Commenter]

@@signorelephant because it never got updated

[@irulez22]

Hey both, sorry for the lack of updates, I was forced to abandon the project when I was locked out of my Unity account, I have since regained access to the project however the desire to work on it is long gone, I can't remember quite how far along in the development process I got even. I remember needing to fine-tune/overhaul the AI and powerup systems but I'm not sure when I'll find the time to get around to it. I apologise as I know this isn't the desired response but I've provided links to game assets/tools for other people who do have the desire to recreate Lego Racers to do so

[@signorelephant]

@irulez22 yeah, but having the ability to do it, advanced programming knowledge is the core issue. Your recreation was the closest we got in the community, and if worked on- could actually overtake the original in many ways. Custom ai opponents or tracks could be added, and that would be neat. It's very difficult to do this in the original. Still hopeful this can be taken up again. There was a guy who made custom intros similar to the original for guides on how to build the actual cars. I'd be willing to help. Multiplayer with ais and friends could have been awesome. Something that also wasn't in the original. Question, how did you extract the models for the opponent racers again?

[@irulez22]

I've uploaded vehicle models here github.com/TayIorSwift/LegoRacers hope this helps

[@RayramAureanBlue]

Will you be able to transfer your save file from original game files?

[@gylp2]

lots of bugs
