We need a better object for nitro

[Totoplus62]

Even with the white glow, still ugly and dull. NEW MODEL. Honestly, just try it.

Samuncle just said he will use barrel model . The glow has to be a clear blue for small nitro
Nice work cand !

I'll withhold opinions on a barrel until I see it. The advantage of using a flask/jar is the the liquid can glow blue and it won't look too silly (liquids can glow). A glowing barrel sounds a bit wrong; samuncle is a talented artists so will likely prove me wrong though.

[Totoplus62]

Barrel or jar it doesn't matter. That will be surely better than the current item

[samuncle]

I have finished the barrel

(The colors are intentionally bad to encourage artists to change them )

[rubberduck]

i like the "nolok industries" on the barrel , but on race you can't see it, make it bigger and white

and a small note: the cow on the image is fliying (only on front.side), i checked this in game also

[samuncle]

The small version is a bottle like the old model but with the new logo.

[Totoplus62]

I love both new models

[tavariz91]

I like them too
I think you can improve the colors, make them more "flashy". Could you try a green barrel?

Another peanut: you put the "combustive" logo (comburant in french) while nitro is explosive and toxic. Any chemist migh be deceived. Workaround proposals: say it's oxygen bottles (it's "the combustive"), change the logo to "explosive" or push me down nolok's castle in the lava and say it's not a problem

If these bottles are supposed to be explosive, then there could be an explosive game mode, where all nitro bottles / barrels explode when someone / something / an explosion hit them.

[samuncle]

Nice observation but it depends of the product used.

1) Nitromethane which is a fuel used by dragster and rockets
2) Nitrous oxide an oxidizer for cars and also rockets.

So the logo can be correct. But after that you will say that nitrous oxide is a gaz and we don't use barrels irl to store gaz. For the explosive game mode my idea was to add explosions when barrels or bottle are touched by a bowling ball, a cake or a bomb but in the regular mode. Otherwise we will have 1000 game modes and that definitely too

Just a quick suggestion; for the glow around the objects, maybe make it the colour-opposite to the main (or average) colour of the objects? This might to make them stand out.

The blue canister above is good & I like the light blue flame logo on it. The valve bit looks a bit small or the object would be more recognisable if it was bigger. A bigger dial/grip bit would be nice, see; http://www.harvarddapa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Nitrous-Oxide.jpg

I don't think this will be a good solution ^^. For me the glow has to be the same color but brighter

[mr_Spoon]

I was just thinking from an arty perspective thats a way to make things stand out, e.g Heinz beans & Irn Bru packaging.

Why don't you use something more "Arcade", like green and blue glowing balls ?

I guess It will be much easier to create nice glowing balls than not-so-nice bottles...

The player can identify it very quickly, and it's not off topic with a game like this !

[E-Dragon]

In my opinion i rather like the bottles more than flying (i guess) glowing balls, because this looks very unrealistic (at least more unrealistic than nitro bottles ).
And getting nitros or items from a bottle or a gift pack seems more logical than from balls.
Also I think that balls look very cheap compared to the bottles or the gift pack.

i like flying objects, it looks better for me, other racing-games often have this too

there are also other games with flying collectibles, it's not only in racing-games

[puluche]

Well I agree about the gift pack, because I don't think it's a good idea to get items from a "magic ball", but nitro is more of a source of energy, which goes directly into the car, like fuel or whatever, right ?

And when you roll over a bottle, instinctively you think you're about to crush it (like in Crash Team Racing for the liquid traps).

[rubberduck]

and when you play the new version (you played 0.8 before), you can think that this a movable object

People will quicky learn that nitro bottle are goods things
