Mythic Kart Maker (AppID: 4020010)

Mythic Kart Maker is fantasy kart racing level editor, with vehicular combat, whimsical characters, & a vibrant 3D prerendered art-style, with gameplay akin to classic "kart racers".

Make your own course while you drive, using your player as a brush. It's the best way to create a course without thinking about it. You naturally make something that feels good to drive through, without having to test it. I've lost hours testing my game, without noticing it, so make sure to take a break!

The carousel system was created to make placing objects and navigating the menus easy & fun using a keyboard or the controller. Pressing up & down on d pad or arrows switches categories. Pressing left & right switches objects! All effects, music, & everything needed to craft your track are made as simplified as possible so it's just relaxing to make a track. You won't need to remember to press CTRL+X+π+△ to place a tree. 😏

Place a finish line, & you're ready to race.

It's time to test your track. In test mode, collisions will be enabled, & all track effects will be enabled as well. Starting a race is as easy as stalling for a moment before the finish line. To start time attack, just breeze through the finish line.

*Time Attack is currently the only available mode

Did I mention the driving is incredibly fun here? The boring police came & tried to arrest me for focusing on fun racing. I'm not worried about making a realistic driving sim - that's not why you're here. I've merged the best aspects from all of the best kart racers - a certain bandicoot, the best middle aged plumber, & I even took some tips from a spikey blue guy. While those games inspired me, the Mythic world is it's own place, & the physics in this game feel super unique.

Drifting is very lenient & highly controllable (in order to make courses extra fun to develop). Drift boosting is slider based, & isn't separated into 3 phases, encouraging you to maximize your drift. Boosting feels incredible, thanks to smooth camera shifts & effects such as "speed lines". Handling is very good for all vehicles - no one is driving a tank here. Gameplay differences per character will focus on the character's combat skills. Everyone will drive just as well, which I think will encourage trying out different racers to see who fits your combat style!

The world also has it's own cast of characters (which may have their own games one day). I will reveal more about them as the game progresses.
