Thermalito 2023 Development Progress.
🕑 Added 2023-10-14 11:44:41 +0000 UTCFor those who are unaware, I'm working working with Daniel Finney of the DDF Racer Youtube Channel on bringing a track he has designed to life. The circuit is based on real roads, with some slightly imagineitive inerpretation. The layout for the track crosses through the Thermalito hydroelectric dam, not once but twice on two different layouts.
This project has been a blast to work on so far. It's quite different from what I usually do. As you'll have seen I basically make real tracks as close to reality as I can get them. Or I'll make up a 'fantasy' circuit myself. So working on a project that doesn't exist in real life, but is a design by somebody else has been an interesting challenge.
We'll be doing a Q/A video about this track and my development progress in general. I'll post it here when it's been uploaded.
I'm aiming for a release of this circuit later this month! so not long to wait :)
Here are some test laps driven by Dan of an early build.

We've had several 6+ hour long meetings discussing the finer details of this track, and I look forward to everyone getting to drive it really soon!
Track surface is basically finished and signed off, the next week or so I'll be creating the 3D assets for things like the dam, pit building and grandstands.
You can check out his channel here. I'm sure there'll be a lot of videos about the track once it's out :)

Thanks for your continued support, it's what lets me work on different projects like this.

It's not quite there yet. All you'd be able to do is drive past the bland unfinished backgrounds. There's also a lot of placeholder assets which aren't able to be distributed publicly for various reasons. These will be removed and replaced with the final items soon. I'm aiming for a release of this circuit later this month! so not long to wait. I thought maybe some of the people that had backed the Kickstarter campaign would like to see how things are progressing so far.
