Supertuxkart engine new showcase

Hi everyone

Usually we don't post blog article here but this is a bit different from the regular article.

We are working hard to make the beta version of 0.8.2. Inspired by the recent events I made a little video featuring the new space track and a kart trying to land.

Here is the link http://goo.gl/Xfkuah

And bonus a screenshot of cocoa temple finally finished after 6 months of work


Hope you enjoy

This is better than your first video which was already nice
I love the philea reference

I'm still waiting for a better computer to beat you ^^

I thought there might be something space themed in the works after seeing solar panels in the media repo.

Good job as always to all of the developers. It's great to see this game improve so much so quickly.

The graphic quality has improved a lot. Good job!
I'm waiting for the release.

Since we're getting close to beta now, any chance of updating the translation templates on Launchpad? I would like to get a head start on the translation and have everything on 100% for testing when the first beta comes out.

Hi thanks for the reminder, I have created a ticket

We will take a look at this before the beta. Note that there will be some time between the beta and the release so you should have enough time to translate at a leasury pace

Just make sure we will have another Beta or RC where the new translations can be included for testing. Things sometimes need to be fixed after seeing strings on-screen.
