Track: Venus - Utopia Authors: Biometal/Spriggan Length: 874 Difficulty: Extreme Environment: Space It seems that billions of years ago held a history within Venus---one reminiscent to that of a tropical haven. Theoretically, this could be true, it could have been just that; a beautiful exotic world, filled with rich oceans, blue skies, and plenty of plantation---as well as life. However, no one can ever know for sure. Yet, it seems to have transitioned into this condition. Present in the track are: cliffs, pools of otherwordly water, sandy shores, tropical trees, underwater passages, and so forth. This paradisal environment would be a dream to most, but our subterranean species of the once volcanic world had no way to survive here, nor adapt. They're all gone, along with the damaged probes. The raceline is basic and straight-forward. Important Notes: *All car types can perform well here. Pest Control is an idiot and sometimes spazzes out, but that's expected from that car. *No pickups, as they've been fully disintegrated prior. However, Stars have survived, and reverted back to their normal appearance for once. *There are three Practice Mode Stars. *Some kind of newly-adapted Venusian creature has replaced the horn. *The echoing cries of Oucher-pouchers can faintly be heard as they're perishing, but you can't see them. The planet's atmosphere indescribably ricochets their vocals, somehow. It's kind of sad in a way; a paradisal place that has ironically proved to be toxic to its former self's lifeforms. *Why are RC cars able to even move around here? What exactly are these mere toys made of that allows them to endure such atmospheric conditions? Oh wait, nevemind. Nothin'z wrongz wit' this place! Pyre have originated in Venus's core, and Oucher-pouchers not too far from it near molten rock. They will have evolved toward this new environment to become Splash-pouchers and Hydre. The unidentified "(???)" creatures that were heard yammering near the melted space probes have become visible, due to apparent exposure to what seems to be liquid water. They're known as "Liquifly". They're appeareances are transparent as their bodies are made up of 99% water. The other 1% is unknown. They prefer to wade in water instead of actually flying. It's possible that the 1% unknown material is purifying the Venusian world's surface, allowing water and life to form---so far, only mere fish(?). At least that's a start! *Hints for Practice Star locations* 1st Star: "Frish Fwood" (The fish are circling near it, but can't find it.) 2nd Star: "Pool Party" (Sink or swim.) 3rd Star: "Claustrophobic" (In a cramped space.) *Known Bugs* 1. Camera collision occurs abnormally when entering water. *Tools Used/Credits* Blender Master Blakez Roy Gallant (http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/Oucher-poucher) HabitatB Blender Plugin (for Revolt) by Marv (I'z don't know where your CP pointz are atz.)
