Hey everybody, welcome back!
it's been 9 months since I uploaded "Eleum Londor" on this site and yet again I'm very excited to present my latest work to all of you, called "Sagada Hara".
This track is set in a rocky desert, surrounded by mountains and towering far above it all in the center, lays the desolate city of Sagada.
I've actually been working on this track while finishing up Eleum Londor, which is why you can probably see a few similarities between the two. For starters the general type of architecture I applied is very same-y. The mood is identical and even the textures, albeit different mods looks quite similar as well.
On the flip side, for one of the biggest differences between the two, there is scale. With that I'm not referring to the actual size of things in relation to the car, but rather how much of the space I used. The city of Eleum Londor f.e. spreads across the entire 64x64 plane. With this one I drastically cut it down to only a small potion of that. In return this track is much shorter, but it did allow me to pay much greater attention to detail and create something more focused, and I'm quite happy with that.
Another rather big difference lays in the gameplay. Since this track is much smaller in scale it has fewer straight paths and fullspeed sections. Instead I opted for a more intricate design that loops the player around the same area multiple times and offers smaller challenges on each level. I also addressed the issue of forcing fewer respawns on the player. Only 4 out of the 12 checkpoints have a forced respawn and thanks to magnets I was able to completely forego any elevator checkpoints.
Speaking about magnets and other custom blocks - I want to give another special thanks to skyslide who makes a majority of these blocks and keeps the titlepack up to date. All of this wouldn't be possible without him and I'm super thankful for all the effort he put into this.
Other than that I dont have much else to say. I hope you enjoy the track and I get to see you online. Also I have to say it, not because I'm begging, but because it's genuinely making me happy; if you have anything to say at all, write it down in an award or a comment, I'm more than happy to read any sort of criticism or feedback, feel free to be harsh or generous because at the end of the day I just want to get better

Oh right one thing I forgot: make sure to download " Ancients v.3 " in the mod tab on the RPG Titlepack, they are no longer included since the last update
