This is my fangame that I worked on about a year ago. Then I picked back up again 2 weeks ago and just about finished it. Mario Kart XP is my first GOOD fangame. It is also the first I've finished. It's ABOUT done and needs only editing such as spriting and music work. It is made in RPG Maker XP, FYI. So I'm ready to release my idea to the public. Here it is... MARIO KART XP!



Features:

1 Player action
1 on 1 Races versus the CPU
8 Different Characters
16 Unique Courses
4 Cups
Music
Save Feature
Load Feature
Sorry, no items
Boost pads (some courses)
1 Hidden Character


Screenshots:

This is all I leave for now. I understand it's not much, but I couldn't make a video for it. I'm not skilled in that area. I will be making a guide for the game too, so look out for that.... sometime.



LOOKING FOR HELP!

Testers:
1. Nerdysimmer
2. XCore
3. Chibi Cloud
4. Crazyjp
5. Brettska99

I need 5 testers to test the game for flaws. Obviously there is much to be improved, but there are things that I understand to be problems and some I don't. If you're interested in testing, PM me. Not everyone will be chosen. 5 will be. But just because you are the first person to ask doesn't mean you will be chosen. I have to be able to trust your judgement and know that you will be playing looking for flaws and not for fun. You will need a copy of RPG Maker XP (free trial).

Possible Testers:

XCore
Oxol
Jbone
Chibi Cloud
Crazyjp
GRP
Brett
NintendoWii124
Runawayred
Lenny819
ThenewBennyboy
Dersnap

O = Interviewed

Videographer:
1. Nerdysimmer
2. Runawayred

I would like to make a trailer for my game, but I'm not skilled in that area. If you are able to and willing to help me out, PM me. You will recieve a copy of the test game also.You will need a copy of RPG Maker XP (free trial).

Spriters:
1. Sockeymeow
2.

My sprites are only okay. Some (most) have problems. If you are good with RPG Maker XP spriting and are willing to make smooth transitions, PM me. You will recieve a copy of the test game also. You will need a copy of RPG Maker XP (free trial). If no one signs up for this (not expecting anyone) I could do it myself, just want some help and get people involved.

Assisted help:
1. Dersnap

This spot is filled by people who have helped me in some way, shape or form outside of the other 3 areas.

Thanks!

Notices:

I guess I should clear it up that I'm not telling who it is. If you want to know, you'll have to play the game once it's released.


From now on, please don't spoil stuff from my game. I worked hard, so don't be postin' the hidden character, there was a reason people didn't say who it was. I didn't want them to know.


I should also mention I will interview all testers. If you have AIM, please tell me. Otherwise we will use PMs.


Interviews have started and signups for testers are closed.


Interviews are officially due by Monday (11:59 Sunday night is the final hour)


Interviews are done. Results are posted. Sorry if you were not picked.

Look for the game soon once it's released :D

You don't understand what AIM is, do you?

You don't understand what AIM is, do you?

I have a feeling he doesn't know what the word test means either. He probably just thinks you're letting people play so they can have fun and just play the game.

Just to let people know that the game will be delayed. Testing will continue, but after testing is done there is more I'd like to do. So testers will end up testing the game twice.
