Yeah I like the second one as well. I'm just waiting on bigsnake to speak his mind.

Ok, so I'm just about done with the modelling as far as I can see, but I can't figure out applying textures in Blender for the life of me. I'll keep trying but just in case I don't get anywhere soon, I might link it here in a dropbox storage website or something along with some concepts.
Great. My finals are done. Still sh*t scores though, 34% in Calculus and 33% in Chinese. But hey, I had English, Physics and Malay to save me.
Basically, I will be having a lot of free time, I'm going to draw some ship "blueprints" (as I can't model even tho I'd installed Autodesk 3DS 2015 and Blender) and most definitely going to help out AGGamer on the story.
To be honest, the whole outline, the purpose and potential conflicts is just lacking. We don't a reason or we don't have something/someone to care and root for, it needs like, a key event to why there is some action goin' on.
For instance, the first game has Auricom and Qirex in a rather believable Anti-gravity Race mirroring the Space Race in the 60s, also the Fall of F9000, serving as a one-hand reminder of what a cynical ploy the FIA F1 can get, while not necessary will. Thankfully.
I always love a great story, and I just can't help feeling salty becuse of, idk. So I'm leaving one question to start out the storywriting, so we can agree on each other. Good luck!
Why is the league started? What was there that'll worth fighting for?
well 33% in chinese is still impressive l think :p
I see what you're saying. But remember, WipEout never had a grand story to tell. Most of the conflict took place outside the races and the races only really serve to make each other look bad. Trust me, I've been messing around with this for a good year (trying to write a fanfic) and there's not really anything in wipEout's lore that suggests whoever wins has a huge effect on the world around them, nor is it very easy to make up a reason that fits. Same thing here, Team Omnicom and Diavolt merely represent the USA and Russia, the real conflict is between the nations themselves and this is going on outside the races.Quote:

They wanted to spread NG-technology to the USA's allies in the EU and Japan to reinforce them against Russia. The league encourages them to improve and better their technology, it's a competition to see who can make the most advanced speed and weapons tech along side Negative-Gravity. This is one reason why Omnicom didn't want the Russian team Diavolt competing: They are the enemy in this arms race.
Basically, the main conflict is happening outside the races, an arms race. The league is just a way for everyone to 'show-off' what they've accomplished to each other. But if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them! I'll throw together a new outline as things change. Remember this is just a proposal for what the backstory could be, a basic outline. I think have characters (pilots) would be a great way of adding tension. Problem is I'm bad at naming people.
@AGGamer
So what we have here is Space Race Redux? I like this idea. How about we write this just like a Cold War drama? Espionage for rivaling teams' advancements, sketchy new tech, it'll be like WipEout: Black Ops. :beer
It doesn't need to be grand or rounded, just needs to be enough to feel like a chapter of An Average Day in Earth.
Looks great!
I'm really liking the game, it emulates almost well the classic wipeout.
Just something that I noticed, is that the ship doesn't "float", when you push up the nose, it just falls anyway, and please, remember to put a joystick deadzone. it's too horrible to play with my controller, because the joystick is busted(it's loose).
AGGamer, do I have you on skype?
