Completely revamped the driving physics of the karts/vehicles. I went from using wheel colliders to my own raycast based solution. And imo it looks and feels 10x better. Karts are fast and bouncy which really helps achieve that arcade feel. They also support LR1 style power-sliding which helps speed you up around tight corners. https://streamable.com/xma9z Can support different wheel suspension heights and kart bodies, all while retaining max speeds to assure races are fair. https://streamable.com/ksxcr Started playing around with AI. As you can probably tell from the video, they're as dumb as a sack of potatoes. They have a very basic "brain" that just tells em to randomly accelerate and steer, which sometimes makes them look quite intelligent, but most of the time they will drive straight into a wall. AI vehicles are exactly the same as a player controlled one, and it's very easy to "take control" of a bot, if needed. https://streamable.com/fk3mr And finally a video of simply driving around with some bots in the walled area. https://streamable.com/bqg6f

Next thing I will work on is fixing the positioning of the "telepthing" and getting the transparency frames for the LWS animation, making the teleports as good as in the game. The shader must also implement some basic shading, since, in LRR, the cursor is treated as what seems to be a point light. I would need to address that. Once most of the graphical stuff is done, I would continue to map loading and generating the coresponding meshes to view in the camera. 1st and 2nd person would come after that. Since those views use some premade meshes (except for the recharge seam apparently). On a side note: For the next week or so, posts will come rarer, but with more content I guess? I will be moving in 6 hours to the city, where I study, and I havent gotten an internet connection in my new apartment. So I will be using public wifi, when I have made some solid progress. Just in case, so that nobody thinks im forgetting/leaving the project.

New larger frame and some new bricks. Along with a "Very WIP garage" Car here is built 100% ingame. Bricks are added to the frame brick.
