for me ring racers is a very "this game makes me fucking miserable. i have twenty hours on my save file" type of game that very few games can claim (the only other game fitting that bill for me being kingdom hearts re:chain of memories. that game is BAD). the AI is intentionally programmed to be...

that would require completely redrawing all of the sprites in a higher resolution and (if it's not clear) srb2 has a TON of sprites. it's technically possible, but an extremely unnecessary addition and massive undertaking for even stjr to make, let alone modders. it's also not as if there's any...

i don't have any strong opinions on whether the thok should be replaced but i will always assert that this is a horrible idea. i can see the intent going on here, but if you add the ability to switch between the thok and the new ability in the vanilla game, you're really just forcing stjr's...

that's a vanilla srb2 issue, if you try this with any other character duo (like mario and luigi for example) you'll get the same result

i think we collectively should all play as piroli more often (she's awesome)

there is actually an unlockable level select in the extras menu already (unlocked by gaining 100 emblems), which has been in the game for a couple of patches now! i do think it could be made more easily accessible, though, either by having a dedicated no-save level select save file or just...

oh okay so the artist only matters if they're good at their job got it is it really too hard to just dm the artist and ask them for permission to port their work like so many problems could be solved if people just did that

i mean by definition a portleg (which the ws was created to facilitate, the blue sphere section is just there for people who want to upload their own original mods (which you can just do on the message board anyway with more of a playerbase and wider appeal)) is an addon either ported from an...

the white stripes on the shoes are touched up a little bit, most noticeable on sonic's left shoe. it's a pretty small detail, though, so i don't blame you for not seeing it immediately.

no it's not 👍 the air control is very stiff, the weird acceleration curve makes the top speed feel very slow, the lack of momentum preservation and slope launch height cut makes many slopes and ramps feel useless and WORST OF ALL...that is all my personal opinion. how horrific. there are...

character mods that ditch the vanilla style are awesome actually it's nice to have something that deviates from the main style every now and then, and besides! it's a fan mod of a fan game, most people do this for fun in their spare time, and as such i don't think sticking to the art style...

i don't think a random comment from one of the moderators counts as a be-all end-all definitive answer, it's just a certain viewpoint on the topic. there's still room for discussion.

while i don't ever see hope for pushing animations (iirc roach has said it's in the list of animations the team deems kinda pointless), the sprite overhauls arriving in 2.2.14 DO have skidding animations!

fun thing about them is that they either have a ton of impressive stuff going on under the hood or are earnest first shots from people just starting out with modding, so i wouldn't think they're totally comparable with ports

see the thing about modding is that it's an entirely creative process, and anything that has creative intent and effort behind it is indeed art, in turn making modding art. art is not restricted to purely visual mediums, and there's very, very little that you could argue isn't art. i know its...
