Racing Sound Pack Now Available!

Last Fall, I put my own claim to the test: I set out to prove that a person could produce a full racing game with the TGB Kart Kit within a month. I met that challenge, completing Zombie Karts in just four weeks. Along the way, however, I saw a few needs.

First, I felt the kit's example game needed to be more complete. That prompted me to update the kit to include a full, complete, and published game: Cascadia Kart.

Second, was the discovery that quality, usable sounds are hard to find. The Internet has a wide variety of sounds out there... with an even wider range of quality and legal uses. Virtually nowhere could I find decent royalty-free sounds for the game, especially for the engine loops. In order to make my deadline, I had to pay a contractor to create some sounds for me. It was only by pure luck that I had the contact and he had the time!

So with Zombie Karts wrapped up, I turned my attention to those needs. As I worked on the kit update, Cascadia Games sound artist Erhan Ergenekan went to work on a sound pack. Our goal: a mid-sized (~50) pack of sounds with an emphasis on smooth engine loops. The result: a large pack (~90) of sounds including loops, honks, revs, and drive-byes for five unique vehicles.

I recently put together a brief demo, which you can listen to here.

I am very excited about this pack's potential. I know it's a great fit for the TGB Kart Kit. And I have no doubt it will work fantastic with Luma's long-anticipated T3D Racing Starter Kit! It is available for download right now from the Torque Powered Developer Store.
