I think it's clear to anyone who does online sessions on this multicup that I don't like it, but I thought I'd go through and explain the problems with it. More importantly though, I'd like to be able to help all the different track creators of this multicup to be able to improve, since these tracks generally look like the same quality I had in 2022 when I first joined MKPC, and now my tracks have been able to rise to the quality of the Yoshi Circuit seen in this multicup. I'll go through a list of different problems with these tracks and explain how it can be improved, and once you get those 3 sorted, your tracks will likely be a lot better

1. Pixel Size
A lot of the tracks in this multicup have quite large pixels, which can be problematic, since it then worsens almost every other attribute of a track, such as worse textures, shading, and can even make the gameplay a lot harder to read. This is also a problem for the other end of a scale where the site used for making art has no pixels at all, and are pure drawing focused. Unless you're a master in regular art, these suck for MKPC because the leave the track looking messy. I imagine quite a lot of people here use pixilart, so my recommendation on that site is to use a canvas size around 600x600 (can go a larger size once you get more comfortable with making tracks) then upscale by 2x when exporting the image.

2. Consistency
Another issue in lots of these tracks are that they're quite inconsistent. Some parts may have a width of 48 pixels, while other parts have a 60 pixel width. This causes the visuals to look messy, but also makes gameplay feel weird. This can be dealt with by doing each side of the road as different lines, and using circle tool for making turns, deleting the parts you don't want. It's fine if it's not perfect, but I'd rather it ranging from 48-50 pixels than 48-60 pixels.

3. Textures
I could probably count on my hands how many tracks are actually textured. These are quite simple, but go a long way to making the visuals look way better. You can make these pretty simply by making a texture in a small grid (such as 8x8 or 16x16) on an alternate layer, copy pasting it across the layer, than deleting it in all areas it's not needed in.

Bonus. Paint.net
A bonus tip is that paint.net is a very useful app to be able to make tracks, since it can quite easily deal with all the issues I have presented, since it's not limited by image size so it can handle 1x1 pixels, it's got a built in tool for designing lines (straight and curved) with a consistent width. It also has built in textures that can be applied. It is free to use and the only downside is that it doesn't work on some older computers. Just make sure to turn off anti-aliasing.

I still don't really get the point of this, if you're raising the bar of acceptance, at what point does it become generations. I think instead of trying to compete with a higher quality multicup, the goal should instead be raising the quality of the track creators to be able to get into projects such as Generations. I understand you really want to be in control of your own collab multicup, but there are likely other ways you can make them instead of trying to create conflicts of activity between the forum on discord community. I'll try to create a tutorial across this week on how to make high quality tracks on paint.net (with some general tips for those stuck on other platforms) to help bring the forum community's creations skills closer to those of the discord community

im not trying to compete, it was just a  little experement. everything else, understandible

I get you're not trying to compete, but the end results of this experiment does result in competition between the forum and discord, since the forum want to play on this project since they created stuff for it, while discord want to play tracks of high quality. I think the best approach is finish the original (I've unlocked the topic now) so that people can at least feel like they're not ending it before it's finished, then try to promote higher quality tracks to eventually have a lot higher quality tracks released on the game more frequently, being able to help out with the big projects, and increasing the average track quality on the site

Custom Arena Grand Prix (CAGP) TBC

Hey guys I'm gonna be making a CTGP for battle mode called CAGP. I'll also be hosting a TBC for it, so if you want a chance to get your arenas in then participating in this could help you.
There will not be any specific theme for this, however it is recommended to make the arena small (use base game arenas for a good estimate on what size to make it) and utilise time overrides to make the arena more interesting. Also retros are banned.

For an idea for what makes a good nitro arena, check out these:

https://mkpc.malahieude.net/battle.php?i=17830

If you would also like to contribute outside of the TBC with retro arenas, check out this for a good idea on how to make it:

The ratings are really harsh, and pixel art tracks are always a reject

Nudge You are being very prejudiced against pixel art circuits

And the track will have an interesting layout, it doesn't mean that you just reject it because it's made in pixel art, some people don't know how to draw but pixel art is accessible to everyone.

Pixel art circuits are fine as long as they’re good (yours are not)

what did you think of my rejected circuit

It wasn’t good enough to be accepted

New project, CTGP PC (but good). It's something thats been tried before by Senko and Pixel, but both have been discontinued and had a poor track quality
In this, I will only be accepting tracks rated high enough, for now its 15/20, but as it evolves this is subject to change. Anyone is free to take part in the creation of tracks, and both Nitros and Retros are allowed. Join this server if you're interested, or if you want you can submit tracks here on the forum, but know that it might take longer to have it validated: https://discord.gg/P4vkunM9Fw

STOP JOKING ON JEFFREY EPSTEIN

vs58360 pts ★ Titan
battle11051 pts ★ Champion
United Kingdom
Jokes about Jeffrey Epstein and similar topics are often framed as “dark humor,” but in reality, they raise important ethical concerns about how we talk about serious harm. While humor can be a powerful way to process difficult subjects, it can also cross a line when it trivializes real suffering. In cases involving abuse and exploitation, the impact of these jokes goes beyond entertainment—they can diminish the gravity of what actually happened and affect how people perceive such issues.
At the center of the problem is the fact that these jokes are tied to real victims. When people make light of situations involving exploitation, it can come across as dismissive or even disrespectful to those who were directly harmed. Survivors of abuse often face significant emotional and psychological challenges, and public discourse that turns their experiences into punchlines can reinforce feelings of being ignored or invalidated. Even for those not directly connected, this kind of humor can create an environment where serious issues are treated casually rather than with the care they deserve.
Another concern is the way repeated exposure to such jokes can shape attitudes. Humor has a subtle influence on how people think; when serious topics are consistently presented in a joking manner, it can lead to desensitization. Over time, audiences may begin to view these issues as less severe or less urgent, which can weaken the collective sense of responsibility to address them. This doesn’t mean all humor about difficult topics is inherently wrong, but it does mean context and intent matter. There is a difference between humor that challenges wrongdoing and humor that risks minimizing it.
It is also worth considering the social impact of sharing these jokes. In many cases, people repeat them without fully thinking about their implications, especially in online spaces where content spreads quickly. What might feel like a quick, edgy remark can contribute to a broader culture that normalizes insensitivity. Being mindful of this doesn’t require avoiding humor altogether—it simply means recognizing that words and jokes carry weight, especially when they reference real-world harm.
Ultimately, choosing not to engage in this kind of humor reflects a level of awareness and respect for others. It shows an understanding that some topics deserve thoughtful discussion rather than casual jokes. Humor can still be creative, clever, and even edgy without relying on real suffering as its foundation. By being more intentional about what we find funny and share with others, we contribute to a more considerate and empathetic environment.
