Having Fun With BeamNG.drive

by Alxala

I’ve been checking out a soft-body physics vehicle simulation game called BeamNG.drive, and it’s a lot of fun racing around different cities and areas that include series of challenges ranged from super easy to extremely hard.

So far I have managed to complete a few easy challenges in Free Roam mode. There were also other modes like Light Runner and Time Trial in which I’ll check those out the next time I play. What I also like about this game is you can spawn any vehicle in-game and other things such as a giant soccer ball and a road sign. 😛 I also like about the photo editor mode just like in Carmageddon, so I can take cool pictures of my custom vehicles and other things in the scenery.

Now I’mma take a break from this game and head off to the Turbo Burger fast food restaurant to enjoy some delicious burgers before calling it a night.

Anyways, that is all.

Saturday Sprite Sheet Roundup

by Alxala

I’ve been making more sprite sheets and submitting to the Spriters Resource website. Here’s one that got approved the other day:

Now I’m inching closer to 1,500 Game Boy / Game Boy Color sprite sheets. There will be more of them shortly…

TAAAAAAAANK! Oops, wrong game…

by Alxala

I’ve been playing around a little bit of a game that is like Need For Speed but with tanks, and that is Tank Racer. It’s a racing game where you can chose one of the four tanks and race through the tracks against seven computer-controlled tanks in the Cup and Single races. Here’s a screenshot of the gameplay:

This game is alright, but I’m stickin’ with the Need For Speed series. However; what I like about this game is it’s got awesome power-ups to pick up just like in Carmageddon, and I also like the stylistic in-game graphics. 😉

A Street Sign Named Desire

by Alxala

I’ve been making another piece of artwork in Adobe Illustrator this evening. Here’s a pic of my Dawn falling in love with a street sign during her trip to Olympic City:

It’s beautiful to love a street sign in a video game-style city. 😛

Alxala Does Olympic City

I’ve been doing work on another image-traced piece of art in Adobe Illustrator tonight. This time I’ve turned this screenshot from ‘Need for Speed: Underground’ into my latest Steam profile artwork:

Now that it’s complete, it’s time to upload this puppy on Steam.

Alxala Goes Underground

by Alxala

I’ve been testing out Need For Speed Underground under Windows 10 the other day, and so far the program and gameplay both seem to be behaving properly. The graphics and textures in this racing game are really nice, and what I like about this are the background sound effects, billboards and street signs. Here are a couple pictures of street signs in NFSU that are my most favorite:

The reason why I like the street signs is because they are much taller than the ones in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2. 🙂 I’d say this is still a good old-school racing game to me, but I think Hot Pursuit 2 is way better than this. Oh, and what I also like about NFSU is you can move the cursor around during a race, which I find that very interesting.

Feelin’ The Need For Speed

by Alxala

I decided to take a break from Bawderlands Dos and play around some Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2, a racing game where you have to race against opponent racers while trying to get away from the chasing cop cars as you complete through different races like Single Race, Lap Knockout, etc.

So far this old-school racing game seems to be running fine on my computer just like Need For Speed Underground, and I have managed to win two gold medals right off the bat in the Championship race branch and completed a few races in Single Challenge mode, which that part is what like about in this game. 🙂

And now for no strange reason here’s a screenshot of my most favorite street sign in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2:

The reason why is because I like the artwork, the background color and all the words on the sign in two font types which are Brush Script MT and Times New Roman. Oh, and another reason why is because I love lighthouses. 🙂

Some Thanksgiving Fun with Carmageddon: Max Damage

by Alxala

I have been doing some Carmageddon: Max damage lately since it’s been awhile. So far I have stolen Stella Stunna’s electricity car, found another coloured bush hair, and managed to mow down a total of 420 Peds before wrecking my last opponent on the last event of the night:

I also unlocked a new rim for completing the fourth Ped Popper challenge, but I still need to use up my upgrade tokens because I found 26 of them in one event. Anyways, I had a bloody awesome time mowing down Peds and wrecking my opponents who are after my thirst of blood.
