charlie {l Wrote}:I think a sped up version of the LinWarrior 3D explosions (see video) would suit STK and look a lot better.
Arthur {l Wrote}:Too flaky in that video, and too rough edges IMHO. The explosions in STK might use some work, but I don't think they're bad right now either.
Arthur {l Wrote}:Well, the first thing I think about this is that this discussion should be separated from this thread, as the thread was meant for feedback on supertuxkart.de.
Secondly, I think it's a good idea. Even though I think it's fun to blow the others up, the explosions aren't that useful, and it's quite random whether it have an actual effect or not. Many times they are stabilized in mid-air because of the physics cheating, and almost get no penalty, and some times it makes the AI so disorientated that it outright crashes into something else afterwards and needs to get rescued.
Furthermore, it might make the game more child-friendly
(though the controls probably are too hard for young children anyway),
and will make the game more cartoonish and less FPS (though explosions are a vital part in really many old animated cartoons, so I'd say they are cartoonish already in the good old-fashioned way).

I was thinking about this, too - but then realised that I always hated the fact that "Looney Tunes" were stopped in Germany when I was a kid because they were considered to be too violent. And I don't want to take the explosions out because of this

You think so? I think we have some rather young people playing stk (well, I know from personal experience that 20 month is too young to play - but they can enjoy the bunny and snowmen in the SnowMountain at this age And you can get a real challenge by trying to win a race with a bay hitting keys all the time )
