I love this new Zeepkist update. What other track ideas do you have?

Logic, trains and Zeepkist. A great kAN combination.

Alternative video title: "I Made My Friends Derail Trains In Zeepkist". Also, now with trains in the game, sooner or later there *will be* a Kenosha map.

I haven't heard kAN geeking out this hard in a long time. I can literally picture him bouncing in his seat with clenched fists and a grin so wide it threatens to meet around the back of his head.

If the Zeepkist community gets mad at maps like these just ignore them. These are favorite kind of tracks (Puzzle/Logic). Not everyone may like them, but there'll definitely be niche interest. Kind of like Kacky, I know it gained popularity, but kacky isn't for everyone. If your audience enjoys these videos who cares if the community doesn't, they don't need to join the lobby.

I love the amount of excitement you have while explaining this

Yannic should change it to a more realistic situation where the fewer cars on the train, the faster the locomotive can pull them. Then you could make a track where you purposely are trying to time it just right to knock cars off. But maybe only to a point, because if the train goes too fast, you can't win either.

Honestly, Yannic really should put this track (or one with the same concept) in adventure mode, this looks so fun and creative.

In order to make the times differ, you could just place enough checkpoints around the outside that you'd be unable to get them all while routing the train through the fastest route. That way it's more about an optimal route and how fast you can rush to the finish than to time your arrival there correctly. Also would allow you to place a checkpoint at the airstrip to show people what it does. [edit:] Also, you could label your triggers to aid with routing (doesn't even need to be with text, could just be landmarks, like those 2 towers).

Why do trains always just add so much to every single game?? And this update brought trains AND logic?? Big W

Zeepkist is now my favorite train puzzle game

The horn cacophony at the end! What has Yannic Done?!?!?

This track really benefitted from the prolonged intro explanation - but I was SO relieved, when the video went into a public lobby session! I was afraid, it was just a solo Montage showing it off. :y

I absolutely LOVE everything about this!!! The track is long and, as you say, not that much you can do to improve your time, but this is still unironically one of favourite tracks. Logic + trains make dopamine go whoosh I guess. Seeing something like this in adventure mode would be amazing. (Though the thought of this, but with needing to manage 2 or 3 trains on different tracks at once - kinda terrifying)

Love that the RWY is labeled 22 in both directions

I can just see a track where you trigger a logic gate right at the start that triggers a long countdown timer that links to a wall concealing one of the finishes... If you are fast enough, the wall will be gone and you can finish with a faster time, but miss the window where the gate is open and you have to go through a finish that is farther away and you get a slower time... Or you have multiple routes through an area, and the shorter one only opens if you hit the right logic gate and make it within a certain time. The possibilities!

I feel like people call Kan's tracks pain is mostly due to lack of direction, but Kan likes the process of people figuring out how to finish the map. It's just a preference thing mostly. but i think people just feel directionless and don't know what to do when there are lots of boxes and triggers around.

Another similar idea is you could do a sort of train dispatcher track where you have a few trains and you have to make sure they don't collide.

Amazing, this will breath new life into Zeepkist content 🙂

Now, a track where you have to derail the trains. Set multiple trains (not as many as your Frogger test) running. They're ahead of you and will trigger landslides onto the track unless you hit the trigger to derail them first. It's kind of a speed check to make sure you hit their derail trigger before they can hit the landslide trigger. If you're nice, you could put alternate path detours around the landslide area so that slow people (or people that miss the triggers) go even slower, but still finish.

kAN, as an x air traffic controller, I must say, your runway numbers are wrong lol. It's like a bar across a compass. If one side is 22, the other side is +180° so 202 would be the opposite end of the runway. Amazing track tho. Jesus lol...

That is an incredible idea, well done with the implementation.

So glad you're back to zeepkist!

Pretty cool map. Runway should be numbered 04/22 though since they’re always reciprocal compass headings

kAN puts more effort into a single track on Zeepkist than some devs do in entire games

kAN the braniac is back! Love these videos. Keep 'em coming

Thank you for the very interesting video and whole concept!

This is sooo cool!

To keep the spirit of doing a race, you could add race boosters for taking slower train tracks, that will make you choose if you need more speed to move around or make the train reach the station faster

This really is a great map for adventure mode, I love this kind of stuff

That was a really cool track! Thanks for the vid kAN

Super Cool Dude!

you have my like right after that explanation of how the track works LOL

Absolute genius.

Love the track Kan!

Great fun 👍

kAN is so stoked. I love it!

I'm glad to see the pain theme is back :)

love how excited kan was for this track lol he's been waiting for logic since the beginning

I'm sending you the bill to have my brains cleaned up off the walls, cause you made it explode!

Lmao Yannic’s “Goodbye” got me

I too, enjoy this Kancept....

This track was hard, but it was a great concept and very well done! It's nice now that I understand how it all works. Definitely reminded me of Pilotwings64. I can't wait to see what kAN comes up with next!

this track is incredible

One of the best compliments on a track is to have the developer ask if you want it in the game

I like to think Yannic saw that Kan had fallen off the Zeepkist grind and added logic and trains to bring him back hahahaha

Genius track

I've never derailed so many trains as much as this track

These tracks look like chocolate! :3

Train logic could be good for shortcut shenanigans, too. E.g. one path is shorter, but gets blocked by the train, so you have to wait for it to pass. The other path is longer, but you switch the train to an alternate track, so you can pass easily. Also, the "cutting up the train" bit; can you also reconnect train cars? If so, there might be some interesting things to be done different cars, such as switching between the solid cars and the ones you can jump through.

I would love if this track gets put in adventure mode. this looks so fun!~

kAN, I can't believe you didn't ask him for logic gates that can control other variables. First thought, was increase/decrease the train speed. But if the engine supports it, object scaling via gates or all kinds of insanity would be cool.

6:53 this shot with the racers flying all over the map is just top notch.

It's different. Nice concept kAN.

kAN on his way to make the most complicated (and coolest) level in the entire game as soon as the update comes out:

Logic gates open up so much cheese possibilities. What it there was an Or gate hidden somewhere that also opened up the station allowing you to fly in, long before the train

Super cool idea, i think to improve there should maybe be less time between the puzzles because you end up having to circle for a while just waiting for the train

for doing the idea but driving, what you could probably do is make ramps and such that require stunts such as riding up a narrow path to launch off to hit a trigger, or to wall ride up a tube to get the trigger. Something more based around the kart itself could be interesting as you could make ramps that launch you THROUGH the train's gaps

You could build an insane no hands track with the logic.

Kan and trains .... i knew he was gonna love the new update

Yannic just released a monster to the world...

Make a GTA San Andreas Train Mission Track, where "All you had to do was follow the dam train CJ!"

You get bonus points for knowing what a touch and go is.

I would love to see this in adventure mode.

I love how this game is basically the Mario Kart Maker that Nintendo will probably never make

Awesome track, if you were to add it to a campaign maybe just add a sign that says AND near the AND gates

kAN should make an entire set of levels for adventure mode :D with riddles etc.. Maybe a race against a train while the player is on a road and you can go off "racing" line to send the train on little detours. Goal is to get to the end before the train arrives. Choosing when to go off line to send the train on a detour will make the lap times a bit more interesting

Gone are the days of a simple racing game

This is like early minecraft redstone or little big planet 3 when they introduced logic. The start if a new era

heh .. if you think about it those logic triggers are basically optional checkpoints that may help you / make you suffer :)

It would be nice if the triggers were fake checkpoints that had some kind of tether to the track, to clue people in to what the boxes are. As is, the random boxes will probably confuse people who don't know what logic looks like, especially the AND gates

Build a map of the game Simon, players are given a color and must repeat the pattern sequentially shown faster after each guess attempt, choosing the wrong color will result in the player falling through the map.

one way to make this more competitive is to require runway landing between switches

Wow, kAN got the real deal to complement his bin helmet, the trash mobile.

I love how yannic listens to his players.

This map is great! but... I'm sad you missed one small detail... If your runway has 22 going one way, it should have 4 going the other way. Runway numbers correspond to their compass bearing (divided by 10, so 220° becomes 22), and the other direction will naturally have the opposite bearing, so they're always 18 apart

Make some of the switches that you don't flip them go for shorter path, tricking the people who switch everything What about the map where you are trying to outrun the train that is behind you? If you go trough cross road, sensors will switch trail to always follow player until the end, no matter the route he takes

damn nice track KAN. world of trains surely had it,s inpackt XD

"Certified Bruh Moment", that username certainly checked out.

It feels like halfway through the build kAN forgot it was zeepkist and just had train fun

great update so many possibility. is it possible to make a maze with changing walls? by players hitting a switch or a train loop hitting switches changing walls at random. - is it possible to make a random track selector using the switches (e.g. 3 in 1) - A track where you could make a build your own route using switches - you could make a track where you have to race something before it hits a switch. for more of a challenge have multiple finishes. - is it possible that by using a large bowl of ice/frictionless and a sliding object could a really random switch be made? - a collection race

me at midnight almost passing out during the start

Just started the video, but right off I won't be surprised if no one else gets close to finishing with the faster train just from the logic blocks being hard to see. Needs signs or something.

Maybe add the horn block as an indicator when a player has activated the right thing.

I think a track where railroad crossings double as speed/time checks would be cool. Get there too late or too soon? Train or Crossing gates stop you.

I think the runway needs a paraglider block just in case you lose your glider near it (welp Yannic did do it), also you could make a bit more track under the map where you catch the metro. though for the adventure map it should be a bit shorter because long tracks are pain imo. (though I'm an ultra short player so that may not count, a 40s track is already a long track for me.)

You know it's a good track when the dev asks to implement it into adventurer mode.

an idea to make the times more variable, things easier to follow for other people, and add back in the race element. make it so your basically racing the train to use it to trigger "short cuts" or more like the optimal path for you not the train. make the train relatively long so it gives an ok window to catch and always running ahead a little at each point it converges with the track so if your on time you get the next "shot cut" but if your slow you miss it and have to take the "normal path". if you can desighn it to be harder and harder to catch the train at each convergance point to the point wher you have to be making the cuts to catch it. not sure how the logic actully works in the game but maybe even make it so if you manage to run ahead in the back half you can get an even better time, idk if its possible to have boosters that are active untill the train gets there and triggers a switch to shut them off type deal but something in that spirit just for thought. the way forza horizon does the special event race against the train would be a good lose inspiration for how the race aspect should feel and then you use that wrinkly noggin you got to incorporate the logic for the short cut. and im sure i dont have to explain it to you but im not talking about changing the speed of the train just manipulate the player side to slow them down or speed them up in relation I.E. longer sections vs shorter ones more booster vs less etc

Everyone likes this kAN-cept! That should be the name of Kan's experiments.

You should show this one to Hyce.

Next up: a full railway setup where you can ride on the trains (they go really fast) and also redirect them. With logic so that trains will wait if there's another train in front of them. So you need to get on the fastest train to cover long straight bits, but then hop off briefly to change the switches to redirect a different train so it doesn't get in the way of yours somewhere else on the network.

6:29 race start

Just Imagine if Hyce found out about this update....

kAN is monologuing more than a supervillain.

Kan dude my head hurts

A faster time could be reached with more airspeed as you enter the station

Now you're thinking with portals. Or trains

I cant with the balls dropping 💀

Can you have two trains at the same time? Perhaps having to synch up the trains to trigger logic gates and the trickier ones are where you and both trains have to be at certain points to have other things trigger. If you are able to turn gates on and off from the game world perhaps have two AND gates trigger a hidden logic gate that does some thing like revealing a hidden track for a train...

Leave it to Kan to make an escort mission in a racing game 😄
