What is nice with Generally is the freedom to create other gameplay than just racing on a circuit. We have football, trial, ski, skateboard, catch me if you can track, hot pursuit,...
What I wanted to do is to create a track with a gameplay that we didn't seen before in Generally. So I came with the idea of exploration, searching something somewhere.
It may seems simple at first glance, but think about treasure's hunt, maze, saving someone from a snowslide in a limited time...
So here's my modest contribution, not polished at a high degree, but interesting enough to bring something new to GeneRally : Xplore Pack.
At the beginning, I was thinking to create much more tracks like this, but I ended up with only one environment plus a bonus track which I think was never done before ; a split screen track, like you can see in the picture of Xplore J. You must have 2 human players ; the first one with a boat (I choose Banana Boys from Masa) and the second one with a jeep (I choose General Jeep by Masa again, but you can take other off-road vehicles at your taste). Set one lap-turn. You begin exploration with the boat and when you find the checkpoint, you continue exploration with the jeep, by land. When both players have finished their turn, or by other words found the mysterious golden cities, you finished the track.
For Xplore F family, you may also set 1 lap.
If you have hard times to find the hidden spot, you can right click on each track (apart from Xplore J) and right click on my name. You will see one word, a hint to discover where to go precisely. You can also go in TE (Track Editor) and ruin the pleasure to search, but please do it only when you really struggle and begin to curse me with lot of weird animals names.
I don't spend much time on this, because I have a big project in mind since the beginning of my track making period... I hope I can do it soon.
As always, tell me if anything's wrong, or drop a comment or a cookie as you want, both are good.
