Congratulation for your release .

As a gift, I just remixed your official image with your logo because i think they can fit nicely together.

From the SuperTuxKart team

Awesome editing Samuncle! im still a novice at compositions and i love yours
Do you have any killer penguin model around or model that would fit OD? i wouldnt mind at all adding them, i also have all sources from OD models, i can send or tailor anything 3d you want.

Congratulations on the release guys. Hard work paying off! OD is really coming together.

Charlie now you are obligated to make us a post on FreeGameDev Blog! No need for anything fancy, just a notice of the release would be good

Hero A: This OpenDungeons thing really is becoming a problem. Too many keepers start new dungeons.
Hero B: We should go and teach them a lesson!
Hero A: Right, let's gather a group and raid those open dungeons for their treasures. Why don't they close the gates anyways?
Hero B: Yup, will be easy gold for us.

Two fisted monkey style, anyone?

That could be a nice reference to STK ^^
A level looking like one of their circuits with a boss being a killer pinguin

Or a rogue faction where all creatures are characters from STK

Thanks to you, Danimal will have work for weeks for 1 level

i hope you all like racing cars into medieval games , work time = copy models from tux kart GIT and rename meshes in creature config.
I can imagine a circular circuit and the characters spawing all at once from portals.

Then I also want sword wielding dwarfs on pogo sticks!

The penguins will make good ammo for crossbows or catapults. ;Oo> *swisssssh* *yowtch* !

Hi , glad you like my art.

One day if I have the time I will do something for OD, but I don't want to promise too much.

My suggestion about cross referencing OD and STK has been a bit mistunderstood. Just putting a random kart in OD would be silly and looks like hey look we did a reference. That's not the idea.

Let's be creative, there are more interesting ways to do cross referencing. As an example. In STK we have a Fedex like company called Trans Continental Post (TCP). That could be in an old mail mag/messenger bag/whatever old school medieval post office.

* If there is a snowy map, yes definitely tux should be added. But tux should be added because it makes somehow sense. Not just to add tux.

* A reversed example would be to show in Nolok's final castle, one of your troll/stone giant inside ready to fight for him (nolok is our badguy), references to an old curse could be also included.

* Another example is Sara's Coat of arms, which is kinda medieval/fits into castel/dungeon universe and represents the "government" in stk, again we might imagine that a government would fight daemon from hell.

* STK has a map with an old mine. We could include relics and artifacts from open dungeon.

I think the 'target audience' for the games is too different to make some serious cross-references.
I.e. it'd be fun to have imps worship Sara's bike as some supernatural out-of-this-world object... but there is no good sense in it.
(nost of) STK characters are childish & cartoonish & good, while in OD 'it is good to be evil'.
However, there might be gold viene shaped 'STK'. Or walls posters. Or make computers in rest rooms where monsets would come and play STK.

Congrats guys. And kudos for reaching 10000 posts. Huge number

I agree with eugeneloza, since OD and STK worlds are pretty different, I'm not sure there is place for much more than a small reference. However, I think it would be cool to have in OD the same funny spirit as in the original DK and that would allow to add funny references. For example, a spell that would turn an enemy creature into tux (that cannot attack).

However, if you have a concept for something more interesting, please do not hesitate. I'm not saying that a better cross referencing should not be done, only that I do not have an idea that would make more "natural" the reference.
