To quote a song by a random animator I'm subscribed to:
"Oh I wish the things inside my head would just come out without a prerequisite of dread,
but then if that were true would the things that I do have any sort of value at all?"

Simply put, ai lacks soul and passion and the results are bad due to them not feeling authentic.
Also not to mention like 99% of ais are trained with stolen art but that's another can of worms.

random mod drama post :gambapog:

The base tracks suck so people don't play them online.
There's no incentive for people to play custom tracks online.
Lounges are the only thing that's able to give motivation for people to play online.
Hopefully Wargor might make some changes to online in the future as I do think this is a problem.
Even then I just don't think there are enough users for this in the first place, let alone people who know how to reverse drift.

You have 3 weeks

It's over i have hacked this random account

How about letting ChatGpt or another ai choose the tracks?

Among Us shape RAAAHHH

Like any Ds and Wii games are super nostalgic, but the one that definitely stands out for me is Pokémon Black and White (that game is already almost reaching its 14 year anniversary god I'm a fossil)

We got most medals in total so we have the most skill

One more gold and we've pretty much won as expected

We are so winning this

Most talented people use Paint.net (not MS Paint) But I myself use FireAlpaca

Obama Shelf...

I only really play Pixelmon lmao but this mod is exactly what I have been looking for for a while now.
Granted, no idea how much I'll actually play this as I am on MKPC now...

If you want to create characters, I reccommend heavily editing a character from the base roster instead of starting from scratch as characters made from scratch usually don't look that good in my opinion. If you are making a custom character, it would be smart to first make the front, back and side sprites, and then making all the inbetweens after that. If you're struggling with drawing, you just have to keep practising as there is no quick way to make good art sadly. You're also going to need patience as creating characters can be a tedious process. The sprite of King Boo is also a super useful tool as he is always anchored in the center of every frame.



Idk about you but I have not found a single tutorial about MKPC on Youtube, maybe I'll make some tutorials myself later if I feel like it.

I've been playing 'Fire 'N Ice' on the NES lately. Gotta say, it's a super polished NES puzzle game that feels ahead of its time, and alot of puzzles are pretty cleverly designed as well. I haven't finished it yet (currently in world 7 - 9) but I definitely reccomend it if you have NSO or another emulator

I think that, on top of this, there's also just absolutely zero incentive to play this game. Time for me to do a lil bit of ranting

Online mode only has the base game tracks (alot of which are not fun to play imo). While yes you can play online on custom multicups, absolutely nobody does that, similar to tournaments in MK8D.
A solution to this could be a weekly or monthly 'track rotation' with custom tracks replacing the base game tracks.

There is not much variety in gameplay as Daisy obviously reigns supreme in literally every aspect. You reverse drift through everything anyway so track layout doesn't matter much at all unless there's some really sharp turns or the track is way too thin to be enjoyable. This may be a controversial statement but while reverse drifting is fun, I do genuinely believe the game would be better off without it. Though this would of course leave room for snaking...
A solution to this could be buffing characters, or introducing new stats like Off-Road that could help some characters be better in certain tracks, though the RD problem would still persist.

It doesn't help that the last update was in February, over 3 months ago. "B-but there was an April fools!" yeah okay that literally got reverted in a day that doesn't count. I understand that Wargor is busy (or at least doesn't want to work on one project 24/7) but it definitely does make the game less exciting.
Maybe making alot of small updates where a new feature gets released as soon as it's done instead of having multiple features for one big update would help but I'm not sure. Maybe Wargor could hire other devs but I doubt this website makes enough cash for that. I am not a programmer by any means so take this stuff with a grain of salt lol

Last but not least, I feel like custom tracks have been going downhill lately. Alot of them have pixels that are way too big, basically allowing for no detail or life in them, and the ones that aren't that are just quick textureless drawings in MS Paint. Nobody is really at fault for this, everyone has their own level at art of course. I myself would probably have made alot of horrible tracks if I discovered this website while I was younger. I'm not expecting everyone to be van Gogh or something, especially since most of the userbase is 13 or younger, but again it doesn't help in making this game less stale. Don't feel personally attacked in this, you can make whatever tracks you want, however you want it and don't let this discourage you, you will naturally improve over time as you try more things. I don't know what the general opinion about this is, you can like the oversized pixels aesthetic if you want but I personally really hate it.

Don't get me wrong with all this overly negative ranting. I love this game, enough to sink alot of free time into it making and playing custom tracks. And the fact that this is all on a website is beyond impressive (though I certainly wouldn't mind an app version ), but there's definitely some work to be done.

My tracks are 1024 x 1024 or 2048 x 2048 so I don't think size is the issue here, do you have any examples with poor quality that I could take a look at?

Edit: What I'm predicting rn is that you're using a .jpeg file instead of a .png file (jpegs always are a bit compressed, leading to crusty quality)
