Breaking my brain, working on the story. But everything is so silly, it’s amazing.

Bugs keep piling up. I drove all the way to another race and Moria is in the car. What the hell?

I’m adding Jack now. The problem with him is that he needs to be probably not in the racing uniform since he is no longer racing actually. I may actually make him wear the same stupid hat that the Paps is wearing. I don’t know about it. The racer for the team now is Moria.

Okay Jack looks good in this outfit. Now rigging. ( I mean, making him work for the game )

This is for his standing pose. I don’t know if there will be any standing animation. ( He is supposed to be a more shy / awkward character. )

Main post

I have not just started the project. So I will outline the project so far in this post.

From between 2020 to 2023 I was making a short film called “Moria’s Race” available here. During the making of the movie an idea of a game came to me. And so now I’m making this game.

The game is a story continuation of the movie.

Story of the movie.Moria and Dani ( two kids about 11 ( Moria ) and 8 ( Dani ) ) decided to steal a car in the middle of the night in hopes of Moria driving it to the racing event that night to sneak into it with the car and win the race. She does it. Which changes the demeanor of their father to his kids driving cars. But he still is a kind of a non-crashing safety freak. Even though he owns a racetrack with obstacles and stuff.

The game is about Dani, the brother of the main character of the film. And his racing.

Style of the game

The game is open world ( though the world is not that big. A small-ish town with a racetrack, from the movie ). The character is free to roam around anywhere. And at this point can take any car to drive in.

There will not be any cut-scenes. The story and other events will just happen in the game during the game-play.

The cars and a a lot of the world is breakable but it’s not trying to be a wrecking simulator.

Basically think of something like GTA meeting Flat Out 2 but it’s for kids.

Videos

I am publishing videos about this on Peertube. You can see the playlist here.

Playable builds

Since the game is not finished there are no files that just run by themself. But rather, there are packages you can download which you can open in the game engine to play them. They are available here.

Game Engine / License

I’m using a fork of Blender called UPBGE for this. So the game is GPL - compatible. All of the code I wrote for the game is under GPLv3+. The art ( those I did myself ) are CC-BY-SA The game contains other files ( mainly sounds ) under various other compatible licenses.

I decided to use UPBGE specifically for the fact that it is copylefted. And also because the movie was made in blender and UPBGE just lets me reuse the assets almost directly. ( I had to do minor changes, mainly for optimizations, but also I made cars breakable and stuff. ).

arc, do piracy w ATTENTION: 1337X IS NO LONGER SAFE [Reposted from Reddit]

I wouldn’t trust anything from a P2P site that purports to be:

  1. A cracked game / application for desktop and mobile platforms. Maybe it’s legit but assume it is malware.
  2. A serial number generator. If you absolutely must run one of these do it from a throwaway VM, or via WINE emulation to mitigate what it might do.
  3. An encrypted archive with a README. It’s a scam designed to make people sign up to other scams to release a non-existent password.
  4. A movie / audio with an extension such as .scr, .wma, .com, .exe etc. It’s malware.

Movies, audio & books are generally safe providing they use a recognized extension - mp3, mp4, pdf, mkv, aac, flac, epub etc. Stuff that runs under emulation like console games is generally safe. I say “generally” because an exploit could still be crafted to escape a popular media player or emulator and cause actual harm to your computer.

All the ads and 3rd party scripts should be considered malicious too and should be erased with an adblocker, or even better use Tor.

So basically use some common sense and if you really want some game or app, just buy the damned thing or wait for it to go on sale.

wine is a windows api implementation, it’s specifically NOT an emulator

arc,

Read their own FAQ. It’s not an emulator in the classic sense of emulating the OS. It is however emulating the API of Windows. I quoted the pertinent line of the FAQ elsewhere and made my point clearer

arc,

Not sure what the thumbs down is about. It’s right there in their own FAQ.

In fact it ends by saying - “Wine is not just an emulator” is more accurate.

nevalem,

There is a storied history in computing to use tongue in cheek self referential acronyms to denote some humor and finality in distinguishing things that purposely fill a niche in the world of competing, often pricey, commercial software and other hackable reasons.

So I bet you’re rubbing wrong those of us who remember that gnu is not unix, and more specifically wine is not an emulator. Because they really aren’t.

Response from the admins

From where I’m sitting it looks like classic overconfidence. I would say keep your eyes open in the future but don’t pick up the pitchforks just yet.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Thanks. This community needed your logical input. I’ve been following this over the past few days and it seems like a blatent Reddit-type pitchfork situation. Based on the mods response and the absolute lack of proof surrounding the mods profiting from the crypto miner (honestly who the actual fuck even came up with this?), I think we need to all take a beat.

Also I don’t follow cracked games but this Emperess person seems like a fucking psychopath and the fact that literally anyone here believes a word she says is absolutely astonishing.

I am asking this community to PLEASE STOP REPOSTING THIS. Don’t let this community follow the ways of Reddit, please. We are better than that.

I’ll translate: “I find actions of the 1337x admins disappointing. Deleting my torrents causes confusion for the user base, and these actions reflect poorly on your character, suggesting pusillanimity and insufficient discretion when selecting a sexual partner.”

I don’t know why, but I think calling people “pathetic cowardly whores” in this specific situation is hilarious.

What, exactly, does one have to do when moderating a torrent site to earn the title of “whore”?

You know it’s bad when the almost constantly unhinged ‘Empress’ is the one speaking sense.
