Thanks!
I changed the sentence you suggested.

The game scenarios are not final. But the intention is to leave open. I'm thinking in placing some items outside the main track... maybe..

I'm very proud to announce that an alpha version is available for download.

On this version though there is only one level and one pod to control.

It can be downloaded from those addresses:
http://ube-167.pop.com.br/repositorio/110742/meusite/downloads/MiniPodRaces20070923.zip
http://www.freedrive.com/files/gvvjc4nl2884g/MiniPodRaces/MiniPodRaces20070923.zip

Or via torrent:

I would like to, if possible, know the hardware configuration where the game is running and the FPS you are acchieving.

Thank's a lot for your support.

Nice. Very smooth and solid.
Are you using fullscreen exclusive mode? If i press the windows key to goto desktop, and then click the minipod bit in the taskbar, the game doesn't come back.
One time it crashed my comp (reset), and another i got a "minipod.exe has experienced a problem and has to close..." thing, and i suspect these might also be down to this.
You should use fullscreen windowed mode. Otherwise bad stuff happens. Especially if you're using left ctrl a lot- people are liable to press the windows key by accident, and if your comp decides to interrupt to give some stupid information like "*** has updated", then if you're in fullscreen exclusive it'll crash the game.

I get around 60 fps. Can drop as low as 45 or go as high as 75. 1.7Ghz, 512Mb RAM. Raedon 9200 graphics card. Do you want any other info?

Mr Tank, thankyou for your information. It's more than enough for now.
Yes I'm using exclusive mode and I'll work on this. Thankyou.

tha_rami, maybe the game doesn't suport your videocard. It would be good if you list your hardware configuration. Try editing the file config.dat and changing the last two lines to 0.

So I gave your demo a go. And heres my results on the first test.

Test 1: so I'm starting to give it a go, the instructions told me almost clear enough, but I wasn't ALL sure that throttle up ment accelerate, until the race started.
Cornering was hard, but that usually happens when I play a game like this, I'll get used to it, practice after all.

After a couple of meters across the ground I got the flow of the level, I enjoyed the ramps and stuff. I came second to last (or 5th if thats right) just in front of that... backward...plane....thing. Anyway, no sound is something I'm used to, but it would be nice to hear something everynow and again.
