    Actually, thank you for your concern about the project. I appreciate the motivation of your reply. And I can't wait to share a beta version ASAP, too! :) However, you have to understand that if I make the game and nobody knew about it, then nobody could play it. Therefore, I have to make those accounts right now for the future of the project. This way, more people will be aware of the project in the future. I hope you learned why I set up those currently useless accounts. Don't worry about it, I continue devising the project until February 2019. After that, I have to move to somewhere else and work fulltime, which may cause to temporarily stop the development process of the video game for a quite of time. Hah :D ____________________________________________________ Guys! Thank you for all your support. :) Stay tuned for a bunch of updates until Feb 2019! :)

    Check out the project schedule of this indie passion project here. Visiting the link above, you can explore and figure out the "ToDo list" of this video game project! _________________________________________________ The project's Instagram account here: https://www.instagram.com/ATG_simulator . The project's Twitter account here: https://twitter.com/ATG_simulator . A Facebook page is set up but it has not been published, yet. Its URL is https://fb.me/ATGsimulator . For your information, I've planned to organize the social media pages but not soon. Reminder: This Turboduck thread is the official modders thread and it will remain the official modders thread of the project forever. Notice: The project will take a temporary break sometime soon as I have to do some work in real life, follow me and the project's social media for further information.

    I did both modeling the roads and using the tools of the game engine. If you need help, ask and I'd be glad to talk about the technical stuff! :)

    Here is a TDuck exclusive screenshot of the island of ATG: Kish. I'll share more in my Twitter later. Hah!! That's indeed a huge (~92 Km2) steak that uses ~8 GB of RAM, But it takes ~128 MB when a normal player streams its chunks in their laptop during playing the project.

    Here is the full map of ATG: Kish!! This map has not been finished, yet. _____________________________________ Yes, they all do, as long as the modders add them to the project. (G-Meter is like TDU1 and always is available)

    Go for it man, that could be a good start for you and maybe better vehicles for TDU3 ! :)

    Learn more about *potentially* TDU3 on this official page of KyloTonnGames.com. ________________________________________________________________________ Not sure if it's correct or not but here are the customization concepts. ________________________________________________________________________ While that could be true about the physics and graphics, I disagree with this specific statement. In my opinion, Test Drive Unlimited is not about just cars (and certainly it is not about Hotwheels track like in FH3 and Hotwheels cars!). In TDU you buy and sell houses, you customize houses and apartments, you kinda experience a rich life in exotic islands and that is the tradition of TDU. Furthermore, I love the way TDU kept stuff realistic, Adding the real concept cars made it an up-to-date game for its era. I expect TDU3 to keep the tradition.

    The next TDU is officially confirmed!

    DΛN replied to Eudemon's topic in Gaming Discussion

    To be honest, I also value the trees. I have bought a huge library of trees for my projects (Including ATG: Kish) and I make trees for my projects with those 3D models. I use SpeedTree and planned to use all the actual trees of the actual island of Kish for my ATG: Kish project. I would be glad if you guys can check it out in the here. My favorite trees are Date, Coconut and Palm. :) [ATTACH=full]32336[/ATTACH]

    We can't wait for the new TDuck!! :)

    Having a little bit of experience in web design and networking, What do you think about 1) banning the crawlers and the bots so that they will not scan those uploaded files? 2) Deleting the screenshot thread and adding a social image gallery manager? People would use the gallery section for uploading their contents. I guess this way the screenshots would actually be more visible to the community, too. Talking about website enhancement, I recommend connecting this website to super-active social media platforms for young car lovers like CarThrottle for making more people come here. Perhaps these could be helpful tips for TDuck. :)

    These are some test video of our TDuck community project, learn more about it here. Older video: Older than the above video: Older than the above video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHqS7eTc7Ik

    This movie worth watching! You'll miss the 90s JDM after watching it for sure!!

    //New video! What's New You can see its current (temporary) physics engine in 3rd person view and it is with a wheel input The GoPro mode now directly supported, This mode is added for better feeling the speed Better graphics THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT AS THIS SCENE DOESN'T GRAPHICALLY SHOWS ATG: KISH. Don't forget to check my previous post to see how easy modding the game is. I would be glad if you share your comment & support this project. _______________________________________________ just curious, how did you get the voice Thanks for your comment, at least someone commented something Anyway, I use this TTS service. Guess this is the best and most natural one.
  15. DΛN
    Check out this video, it demonstrates how easy modding the project is.
  16. DΛN
    That is a good idea! The problem is, I can't access Patreon at the moment. I concluded I have to continue keeping this project as just a hobby. __________________________ To wrap it up: There are no donation pages or related services for this project. I won't treat the project as a serious project. There are no plans for releasing a beta version, currently. Kind regards.
  17. DΛN
    Thanks for commenting, Next video will have the 3rd person view just for this case. The video you talked about is mainly for the "GoPro mode".
  18. DΛN
    Okay, As Germans say halt du uns auf dem Laufenden! Keep us informed about your project! :)
  19. DΛN
    ATG's temporary physics debug mode... hopefully will be upgraded to something better soon!! (Neither the Lambo nor the track is made by me, None of them will be included in the video game)
  20. DΛN
    Hey @Milli I wonder if any new update for TDU PE is available or not... . :) How many stuffs are left to do? :)
  21. DΛN
    Hi TDU Iceman, 100% Agree with you, but for the part that you asked for map modding, I have to say it is not possible at the moment and it is not planned for the project. That is because Unity's current terrain system for big cities is like a raw fish, you have to "bake" it before using it - sorry if you're a vegetarian didn't have a better example at the moment. The process of baking a terrain is only possible in the game engine itself. I'm interested how EuroTruck Sim handles the modded cities, I have never heard of adding a full working city to a game - except GTA, which in that case it is not a simple task. Hey Zoqqer Thanks for the feedback, I definitely take notes from it. However, There are important notes that I would like to tell: The Nurburgring scene is completely different and is not part of the game, literally everything except the physics. Therefore please don't review the graphics. The graphics of the project was shown in the video before this one. The cars were not 100% using the real-life values, the Peugeot car uses unrealistic values so that the video could look cool. I had the car - with its older Citroen-Peugeot engine - in real life, you can't go above 100 km/h with it...! Now I comment on each of the points that you've mentioned. I will update the physics but it is how it is, I try to upgrade the entire physics system to a much better and real vehicle simulation engine soon. That might be because of: 1) the FOV (it is not wide angle when speeding), 2) lack of motion blur (except one scene in the video, I forgot to add it to the other scenes!!), 3) lack of camera and wheel shake at full rpm and also 4) lack of spicy fake noises. Other than that, the speed is simulated and it shows what the actual velocity is. I won't add fake camera vibrations as it is going to be VR at some point.

    ATG: Kish Physics Test In these videos, you'll see its physics system, Remember everything is in beta. 1st iteration test: Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHqS7eTc7Ik [*]2nd iteration test: Improved physics for tires water physics for windshield added ( Inspired by DriveClub's rain FX) Improved sound system Watch it here: _________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for your feedback. That is one of the Speedtree tree models that I have spent quite of resources for them, I manually optimized all of them!! They better look good There are GBs of trees for the project, all the trees are on the real island. However, I have to do a research for their Palm, Coconut and Date trees more. Not sure if they have Chinese variants there or not. And About the topology of the island: While I know canyons races and mountain roads are exciting for us car lovers, "drifters", and car gamers, I believe that is a nightmare for level designers as height map data is really a huge problem in both pre and post game level designing phases. Kish is a great place for the project, it is surrounded by water, nobody ever simulated that before which makes it unique. And although it is about two times bigger than GTA V's map, it is almost a desert - just like Dubai - and it is almost flat which makes me able to design the project. Back in the day when I was starting to "simulate" the island, I wanted to test and simulate another place where there are mountains and it is much more beautiful than Kish IMO -also it is in Iran. and when I opened its GIS data, my whole laptop was about to explode - I use one mid-level laptop with 8GB of RAM to design the game. And at that time there was not a plugin or a good "GIS data to mesh" converter or anything like that, I made the whole island by myself manually in 3DS Max and with custom scripts for Unity, which took around a year or so. So not only technical limitation but also time limitation is one of the reasons I chose the small, flat and cozy Kish island. More about these things to come to its official website. But don't worry, I already have thought about that. The project's name is "Around The Ground" for a reason, there is a possibility that I add another place to it when possible.

    If you're interested in this video, chances are you're a petrolhead!! :D Edit: I'll add that Lambo to ATG: Kish, if possible!

    Sunday night is the time I show you guys the car physics simulation test. Don't miss it. I have spent my last dollars of my bank account buying brand-new shoes just to make the video look better, you better watch it. :D __________________________ 0. That is sad, Hope more people (especially, modders) see this and support me as this is a community project. 1. There could be real cars in the game but their names and models should not represent their real-life counterparts and ultimately, the 3D models ought to either designed by me or they should be commercially legal to be used in the video game. This is the legal way and so I have to do it this way if I ever want to add a car to the game. 2.Cool. 3. I don't have time for that, doing all the "actual" work take a lot... and I mean a lot!... of time, as I do the whole process of the project alone. But good for you, though. I check out your project, too!! Good job :) 4.Hah! In that case, we are on the same page then! This is my passion project, which means it is what it is :) Oh I also made a realistic license plate manager which defines the car ID, In other words, the license plate registration policy of an in-game car is actually the same as in real life, That also is the car's ID.
  25. DΛN
    That doesn't matter I guess. BTW, Any updates for your project?
