MKS is now an opened project ! news - Mario Kart Source Mod for Half-Life 2

Mario Kart Source

Half-Life 2 mod | TBD

Mario Kart Source aims to bring the fun and excitement of the Mario Kart series to the PC though the powerful Source engine used in Half Life 2. We hope to create the ultimate version of Mario Kart (MK) by combining all of the best aspects into one game. We're not simply recreating one version of MK, but using the best parts of each. We want to have all the traditional weapons, characters, and maps but also bring out new weapons that make game-play interesting. We're redesigning the maps so that they keep their appeal, but truly utilize the power of the source engine. We plan to have at least 16 different characters, all the ones you know and love as well as some others from the Super Mario World. We want this mod to reflect what you guys want in a Mario Kart game. Have some cool weapon ideas? What special characters do you want? What about maps? We want to know! And now the question on everybody's mind, a beta release. “When is it?” “Is it a closed beta?”...

Since today, Mario Kart Source is now an opened project !

What does it mean ? Every progress made by the team is now instantly viewable on the forums by everybody. You can now see the latest progress from coders, the latest new map, the latest new music and more without restriction !

The objective of this big change is to attract more people on the project. When the Dev Team still continue to produce most of the work, community can also help, and why not have his work included in the game ! This will make this project a real community project, where everyone can contribute providing ideas, creations or even just encouragement :)

Now just go on the forums and have a look on all the topics ! Most of them were in a private section before, and you may find here exclusive contents. But keep in mind that everything you will find in may not be included in the game, especially for some maps which where only tests and not final projects.

Note : the Pit Crew, a group of people who donated for the project, will still have advantages, like earlier access to playable build. Remember that donations are here only for hosting purposes. This help Joker, the owner of the website domain and the original creator of Mario Kart Source, to pay the hosting. Thanks !

Another thing, we just got a new developer : Hideous ! He's a good modeler and there is a big chance that you already saw one of his work if you're a Team Fortress 2 player : the Western Wear hat is one of his creations ! Welcome him to the team !

And in case of you've missed it, have a look on the latest video from Mecha the Slag, showing some code progress with the kart, the music system and some items. Thanks for supporting us !

All I can say is "Yes, yes, I can't wait to see more of this awesome mod based off the awesome red plumber's other career."
Which is a lot. But this is good stuff! :D
