Everyday, I'm getting closer and closer to the goal of 7 characters and 7 tracks. Today, I have 3 tracks and 4 characters to share. All the remaining content after that is nearly halfway finished. With that out of the way, let's get to it! Characters(From left to right) Dee - The titular main character. Although his name is in the title, he's a light-weight racer with excellent turning and acceleration, but lacks in the speed department. I wanted to break the "main character is always balanced" trope. Plum - A professional wrestling bunny. Being the third and final heavy-weight character, she has great speed, okay acceleration, and poor steering skills. Polarax - A snow wizard from the mountains. Polarax is another light-weight character with great turning, decent acceleration, and bad speed. Dooey - Dee's younger twin brother. Being just barely big enough to classify as a medium-weight racer, Dooey is mainly balanced. While he isn't bad at anything, he isn't the best either. TracksDooey Gardens - Owned and operated by Dooey, this track goes through a scenic garden filled with ponds, hedge mazes, and dirt mounds that will teach players how to turn and boost. Dusty Desert - A track in the middle of a valley with crumbling monuments and roads. Although the monuments are part of an abandoned movie set, players interact with many of them throughout the track. With a few twists, this track is made to test more advanced drifting skills. Balloon Bash - Marty's "home" track, which is a skyward monument held in the air by massive blimps and hot-air balloons. Being heavily inspired by Hot-Air Skyway from Crash Team Racing, this track is the "Rainbow Road" of the game and is the toughest one to stay on, having barely any guardrails. With 5 tracks and 7 characters, out of the way, I am beginning to reach the end of my project. With the final 2 tracks in the works and nearing completion, I will be able to compile all my progress together in an instruction booklet mock-up and hopefully create a cover in the near future.
