BIKE TIME TRIAL DEMO(a racing time limit bike mod for gzdoom) new update out!

[big smoke]

well hello there 
long time no see huh, its been a while since i made something for doomworlds, so i decided to make one of my coolest and uniquest mod yet 

BIKE TIME TRIAL


the mod is simple, go trought the track asap and get the shortest time
so far this demo has only four super small tracks and it takes under 5 min to fully complete 
however i will add more tracks to this mod if enough people are interested in it 

important stuff to do before playing
-run this wad with doom2.wad and gzdoom source port
-use opengl rendering (hardware rendering)
-turn on dynamic lights to see the lightning in some parts (optional)

credits:
-some of the bikes code as well as the modified sprite is from brutal doom (the bike is not the same as the bd one and its heavily modified)
-textures are from TTland ,snap the sentinel and golden souls 2,otex,ctr

music used:

- daytona usa (lets go away!) 
- Roos tubes from ctr (crash team racing)

- blizzard bluff from ctr (crash team racing)

- tiny arena from ctr (crash team racing again lol)

special thanks to:
raveyard for helping me out with the bikes physics (thanks to him now the bikes handling is smoother than ever before)
mimadm for modifying the sprite so it doesnt get cut off while turning

epic wad. suggestion: reset health when new track loads up

i got a rank and s rank.

Both tracks are fun, and the physics have been improved greatly over the alpha!

Now all we need is a way to fire a gun off the bike.

We need a motocross version of this where you can hit big jumps and stuff

hmm that gave me an idea to make a free roam map for this mod 
a place with ramps to jump and stuff 
yeah thats a good idea

0:25:51 on map02!

Utterly delightful, Smoke.

Got a big bang of Namco's Cyber Cycles and Sega's Manx TT Superbike off of it. The track/scenery combination also somehow evokes all the best kart racers at once. And the juxtaposition of the breezy, open, "Sega arcade" atmosphere and traditional Doom "technological" aesthetic is currently working very well.

 

Do you plan to implement drift or boost mechanics? The uphill climb at the end of the first track makes it seem like steeper inclines could be a bit of a slog.

And how in the heck did you get 0:21 on the first track? I'm just barely coming out of the secret area around that time.

make sure to find all of the shortcuts, there are like 4 of them irrc 
you have to go through them as fast as possible which will take some time

there is a drift already ig, you basically turn more if you let go of the forward button while turning 
but i do have plans to improve the bike physics as well as adding more tracks 

also thanks for the review, i appreciate it

[big smoke]

the update is still in the making 
just to let you guys know that it will take some time since im very busy with my irl stuff and dont have much time to work on this 

here is the thing that will most likely are going to be in the demo2:

-two new tracks 
-a free roam map which you can go around and practice 
-improvement to the bike physics so it can climb slopes without problem 
-and a new menu to choose the track you want to race in 

 

[Daytime Waitress]

Take your time, Smoke - you'll get it done when you get it done.

Looking forward to seeing what you cook up!

this is so cool

suggestions:

new HUD

use one ammo type for speed and another ammo type for boost

i will do something about the hud and a boost mechanic later 
for now im shifting my focus to the stuff i mentioned

sounds like a good plan! Great mod btw!

[RichardDS90]

I really enjoyed this, it screams potential, I will be watching this mod!

[big smoke]

new update out!

i decided to slowly work on a update for this mod, to expand and improve stuff 
in this update as promised:
-i added 2 new tracks, one of them is a snowy one and the other is a remake of a track from ctr a ps1 racing game
-i improved the physics, the bike now will detect the ground for slopes and change the angle smoothly to the angle of the slope 
-a freeroam map has been added, in this map you can practice with your bike and you dont have to worry about the time limit thing anymore 
-the menu is a bit updated, there is still room for development for this one but i will do something about it later 

aaaand thats it 
the new download link has been added to the main post so go get it there
this mod may contain some bugs so if you found any, please tell me

[Vladguy]

amazing update my guy

one small issue, the freeroam map feels a bit empty without music

it was kinda intentional 
since i wanted to make the freeroam map quiet 
i may add some music or ambient noise later 

[Pistoolkip]

I love the new update! The new tracks are awesome! Ice, jumps, speedups, mud, giant baron statue, it has it all!

[edypagaza]

hey big smoke, I liked your mod
I just added laps in the first map...
I don't know if you want this to be implemented but it's a cool feature!

cool to see laps in the mod (and that 3d model for biker looks great as well)
even tho map04 has a lap system 
there will be more tracks with the lap system to keep them interesting 

[Daytime Waitress]

Only just got around to the update, and I wish I'd had time for it earlier. There are so many neat mechanics added in just this version alone: the varied terrain, the lap system, the suspiciously detailed starting hub in ice world that hint at potentially ludicrous secret chains Smoke is cooking up... And can an entire arena crowd be considered Doomcute? It's adorable, either way.

 

I think that despite all the cool new stuff, I think my favourite part of this was just the actual racing part of it this time around - that hairpin leading to the final straight in the ice stage feels so satisfying to nail (if the pinky doesn't tackle you).

[Maes]

Hmm....my Ride-playing friends would have something to say about the physics, but otherwise it looks like fun :-)

[taufan99]

Looks wicked fun! Will give it a try soon.

[ShallowB]

I don't know if you're still working on this, but I just played it and had a ton of fun! The bike handling feels great.  I think implementing multiple laps would be cool because the maps are kinda short otherwise.  Maybe a community project would be a good way to get more tracks!

 

 

Also, I made a quick status bar edit to display "SPEED" instead of ammo.
