Zoric 11 Description

Post by zaroba »

no, zoric 10 isen't getting a reset already. it probably wont be reset until around July (when the Apocylipseland 2 island ended). just starting work on zoric 11.

Zoric 11 will be an island geared fully around racing. An economic structure based mostly around vehicles and vehicle mods. probably no hunger or thirst. thier will be a huge mountain named Mt. Akina in one corner of the map with a huge, highly detailed, downhill/uphill, twisty race track on it. It will be a very close remake of the Mt. Akina track from the Initial D Anime show. Royalty will be decided by racing down or up the hill (royal families choice). The ruling family will get prizes. Towns probably will be all government owned to keep it looking like Initial D. Vehicles will look like the ones in Initial D and will probably cost somewhat realisticly. Buildings will possibly also cost alot. but to offset some of the high costs thier will also be some production lines that soley make stuff for government owned buildings in each town (the town npc's need food etc :P )

Racing! Nice!
Sounds nice,But hopefuly you can pull it off since this will be the first world based around racing (At least,I 've Seen). Good luck with the settings.

Speaking of Racing...What ever happended to Granpri? Hopefuly Zoric 11 will be a great replacement. :)

i know can't wait for the movie to be subbed when it releases....but sorta weird that jay chow is tak....and the fact that it is a hong kong movie. its a jap anime why not base it in japan lol oh well theres major story changes but still its a ID RL movie lol. Hmmm maybe we should take this to off topic lol

Your should also add a drag course to the planet are somthing more like Need for speed underground 2 that would be cool. But i have to admit that is a pretty good idea Zaroba.

Zar: Ya mt. Akina i cool but they put speed bumps at the turns so no racing there in real life lol. Once you get some pics up for the new zoric you should let me see :-D you know my aim sn hehehe

Jason: Dragging would be alright and all, but since the cars are automatic than once everyone gets the fastest car with all mods(since there are non that are unique) than the person that has the fastest reaction time/connection will win because the cars will accelerate and have same max speed

and thier is no reaction time issue since when you type .ready your engine turns off and you can just hold down shift and up and start fast once the race starts and your engine is back on again.

as for the pics, it'll be a while yet before any good ones are available. but when ready to design the heightmap i'll possibly take down wings field to test with.
as for the vehicle/building models i'll possibly put them on zoric to show previews of them but think i'd rather wait to release them with the actual island

ya you should hold out on the models and such but only release very few models for a limitied time. hehe makes things more exciting maybe you should change gas stations to the gas stations from Initial D and/or add like an S13 with sorta how the steering is going to be. hehehe your choice but imma jump on wings right now o.O

hmmm looks like an american muscle car to me with haichi roku skin...i shouldnt criticize lol i didn't do it. You're getting there though zar. BTW mountain vengence sucks ass.....sorry but it does worst physics ever......middle of the road and you some how get hit by trees on side of road.........ya....arcade game is better lol. Anyways you're gettin there zar ill help if i can just tell me what to do. One more thing zar how do u expect to change steering settings i mean you cant expect it to make it like mountain vengence with overly sensitive, but laggy arrow turning. What are you planning to do to make it drift and use arrows?

this idea will take to long to set up, so it wont be used for a while.


anyway, next zoric is gonna be a complex/odd/hard/nice economy with stuff/ideas not yet used in other worlds, or barly used.

i also said:

"this idea will take to long to set up, so it wont be used for a while."



i'm working full time, and have a girl friend, i probably coulden't even pop out one model a day or two or three since to make them actually look like they do in the anime requires them to be made point by point. otherwords they will just look like thier made out of slanted boxes with sharp corners :P

it's alot easier to just make a detailed bdat, use current vehicles, and whip up some simple buildings if needed, which are basicly just textured sets of boxes.
