[CARMA1] ZXD's Stream Meme Cars
Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2019 11:37 pm
So the thing that got me looking deeper into Carmageddon modding in the first place is the fact that I stream and that, like many streamers, I've accrued a cast of recurring characters and in-jokes that by and large wouldn't make much sense to an outsider. I figured, hey, why not put some of our cast and crew into Carmageddon since I've decided to stream it? Still, despite my fears that nobody will get it, some folks on the Carmageddon Discord have pushed for me to release these cars regardless of context, so I guess this is where I'm gonna dump them.
Note two things about these:
1.) The earlier ones are flat out just other people's cars which I've assigned new drivers to, which means that by and large they're going to replace existing data for the originals if you have them installed. In these cases, I'll be sure to indicate which car it's going to replace.
2.) Some of the later ones (and a few not by Toshiba-3) are somewhat incomplete as I've been learning how to do this stuff. Several don't have grid icons, damage masks or cockpit views. I'll probably get to doing this stuff for those eventually and update them as it happens.
Anyhow, it's time for our first racer: Garbagefield!
CHARACTER INFO:
Garbagefield was originally created by Joel "Vargskelethor" Jarvisson of Vinesauce fame during a Mario Artist Studio stream in which he decided to draw Garfield from memory and things... didn't go to plan. I thought this was so funny that I sort of latched onto the character and have since created a full ROM hack of "A Week of Garfield" for him starring the crappiest cat as well as featuring a cameo of him in my entry for his 2018 Doom Mapping Contest, and has since appeared on numerous streams in another game I've been working on.
He's a neurotic trainwreck, constantly ricocheting between smug overconfidence and a complete nervous breakdown, and he's not particularly good at anything. Being trash, it's fitting then that he drives an edit of Toshiba-3's Renault 5 Trash called the Pasta Wagon, a little orange piece of garbage that looks awful even at full repair. Enjoy smashing into him! Challenge yourself to wreck other racers in this little crap car! Whatever!
