By popular demand, a public prototype demo has been released! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJ5xZpdlmtq7n3U.html

All devs seeking to make a F-Zero like game should be using THIS to take notes.

2:46 I just wanna point out that the model used was the Dragon Bird, so this guy was clearly trying to make his own F-ZERO as well

I’d honestly love to see Semag Games make this into a full-fledged game considering how utterly incredible Vibrant Venture is. Awesome job though! Keep up the good work.

Dude! The amount of work you put into this is obvious! And I am very impressed with what you’ve accomplished! The game looks amazing, even for a prototype!

I started to learn unreal engine to make my own f zero game. I made a blue falcon model that looks just like the one in the games from fusion 360 and imported it to unreal. Just got it to float yesterday. I'm excited!

You talk about this so casually, but this is so impressive! I love the hell out of gx, and if you decided to come back to this, I'd be delighted

Pattrigue DOES! What Nintendon't.

it's so flawless man! maybe i could create environment art for this, but i'm sure if you took the time you could create those worlds as well! i've been using a lot of free assets, but i've become an atmospheric artist due to my practice in it. i'm sure you also have plenty of people to work with, but i'm just really impressed with your coding and track design!

Holy thats so awesome dude ! Thats the best fan made F-Zero i've ever seen 😮😮

I suggest to improve the camera position, make it shake and yanking a little when boosting and crashing, that would add more to the speed sense Also don't forget fov increase, decrease.

Any chance you do a more in-depth tutorial about this? Because I'm honestly fascinated at just the mechanics behind this.

All hail the mighty "Barycentric Coordinate!!"

Very nice, just needs some cool particle effects coming out of the machines and lights on the track traveling in the opposite direction for a better sense of speed.

I hope you work on this more! I'm so impressed

PLEEEEAAAASSSE release this as a game!! THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!!

Oh my god, this is incredible! I‘m absolutely amazed by how much effort you have put into this and it looks like a really faithful recreation of the F-Zero-Formula. If you should have the time, I BEG YOU to continue this project in some form. It’s shocking how little attention projects like these get, but I really think that if done right, this could become a huge thing. Wish you the best of luck!

This was simply awesome ^^ As a huge fan of F-Zero in general an GX in particular, I would love to see this being continued. Good luck with all your game dev stuff man, you are a legend

Great work man! I am creating a F-Zero like game, but with procedural tracks and a more robust physics system. This was a great inspiration!

This is absolutely amazing! Great work on getting this working especially with multiplayer which can be a nightmare haha. Keep it up dude!

Also, neither F-zero X nor GX work like how I implemented the physics. How do they work I have no clue. Something about storing a machine's positions on nurb and translating in a different coordinate space and transforming that to the cartesian coordinate system (world space). This method allows you to translate your car over curved surfaces without suffering from tunnelling issues.

Really amazing that a simple education in mathematical physics would give a neat spotless imitation of F Zero mechanics and physics. As a newer F Zero fan who's enjoyed so much of this type of high velocity racing, I can say this is so perfect!!!! Hope you're still doing cool things with this knowledge!

Nice video! I am also working on a racing game right now and would like to add pipe physics. Could you do a tutorial or something explaining how exactly you managed to get the vertex interpolation working?

Nah, you made that Star Fox racing game people kept thinking was gonna happen

This looks awesome, I hope you'll make this into a fully playable game someday.

Bro best video i have seen today i am hoping on updates on this

this looks great man sik job!

Loved this! You should play F-Zero X as well - it does feel different to GX - but all of the games are awesome. Great respect for this project - it deserves more attention.

I forgot this was why I subscribed. Vibrant venture is still cool, though.

Awesome if that come out someday i'll buy it

GX's physics engine was... beautiful. And so was the music. And so was the atmosphere and game world. A cyberpunk space adventure with so much potential, just left to rot. An F-Zero racing game with an open-world hub adventure mode exists in some future or alternate timeline... I hope my alternate self is enjoying it!

GX is my favorite game... You are breathtaking. (Nothing else to add)

Little does he know that there’s an f zero game out now

now you just need to program in quick-turns, momentum throttling, and momentum turbo slides

I love how the barycentric coordinate is the secret ingredient

Can you elaborate on how you utilized the barycentric coords? I'm trying to make something similar for a game jam, and I don't quite understand how you used this to make the machine gravity direction change.

Love the f-zero games since snes first game, greetings from México

Love it, but if you ever return to it can you add cheesy captain falcon voicelines for when you pass out an opponent? It's an essential feature trust

Dude, I also would like to see captain falcon out and about grand theft auto style in-between races & missions. This is incredible, and it should be pitched to Nintendo!

Awesome work

I would be interested in a F-Zero like game. I would love to play such a game in VR, although I assume that would be a recipe for meals being expelled out the wrong end of the body for a lot of people.

If you love this you will love the game "Extreme-G" lol its intense AF

wow looks fun. love f zero games

really impressiv :O i tried redout, but it was disapppointing, way to much blur and lenseeffects. way to small tracks (or to big cars)

I enjoyed this video very much, thank you. Great work!

you deserve a medal for making this

I'd love to play the demo project.

This looks cool. I played the SNES fzero.

So I got the barycentric coordinate to work but I can't figure out how to implement it. I tried to just match the vector up of the car the normal but it keeps the car locked facing one direction and can't turn.

do you have any advice on how you made the initial turning and acceleration mechanics? is it with a car controller?

hello, please tell me how you implemented keeping the ship's height above the surface and jumping to other parts of the track?

i like the new style of video

Really cool! :D

If I asked nicely would you make tutorial on how you did this?

Wish I had your talent id spend most of my life making this game and my dream fighting games it be like ki

I played a ton of X back in the day, and i've tried to emulate GX a few times but its pretty laggy on some tracks. would love to see a new F zero style game made in modern times! there is flashout but it wasn't quite the same.

Is there a demo download to test how close the physics are to the original? :D

omg. this is so awesome!

Nintendo treats F-zero like it treated metroid for years: they didnt exist. another funny thing is the fact that no real racing game devs wanna touch F-zero for some reason (nintendo proposed to criterion at one point, the guys behind burnout, and they declined), and it was stated multiple times by higher ups that they dont see how they could innovate on the gameplay of gx.

Alleycat blues YAS my JAM!!!

YEEAAAAAAAHHHH THE REVIVAL OF FZEROOOO

If you upload this to the UE marketplace, I'd definitely buy it

Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. Please apply to Nintendo

This is interesting. I've been hoping for an original game available on Steam that matches the F Zero physics. Closest we have seem to have as much in common with Wipeout as it does F Zero.

Thanks for this.

Time to wait for this S-One game to be out then

THIS VIDEO IS KINDOF COOL.LIKED

Your first iteration should be called Fau-Zero > (Because it's basically half way towards X) It's like if they took off from the ground work set by the original but were lazy and didn't bother with the 3D aspect afforded to them by the hardware, for some reason.

Tbh f zero is kinda like trackmania

F-Zero 99 says hi.

This was pretty cool

those physics are so similar to gx, like holy cow.

WOW this looks SO SICKKKKKKKKKK

Now find some people from the community that make you tracks and Vehicles, maybe as Modding Challange, and let us build together an No Name F-Zero

Looks like Wipeout too

Really Really good

How did you move the Machine once you figured out the Barycentric Coordinate? I have tried using transform.position and even some Hover Physics, but none of them accomplished Arcade Physics with Collision detection.

DUDE! I beg you, do not leave this project in the dust! I want a full fledge game out of this! :D

NEW EPIC VID TODAY

So when is the full game coming out? and will you make it online? :D

good stuff!

Oh man I just want to tool around with this so much. Is there a build I can download?

So this is fucking insane and a few years old now.... you have any code you'd be willing to share? =)

Let us all hope for one day...where we get a game that is a cross between FZX and GX.

Why does the Unity version look so much slower than the original? Is there some kind of speed limitation in the engine? Does FPS play a role in this?

Honestly. We need more SNES FZero games as well as GX. If this was a game, I would buy it day 1.

WOnderful video! I found where you replied to the thread on the Unity forums and I saw that you supplied the code for your interpolated normal functions. I am trying to use it, but "hit.triangleIndex" is return -1 everytime causing an error because it is accessing mesh.triangles outside of its bounds. How do you combat this problem? My mesh is read/write enabled.

F-Zero should rewrite the lore to happen as the future version of WWE, happening in Metroid universe. With this premise they could set the races in cyberspace with Gamecube-style graphics, and actually make 60fps massive multiplayer possible, but I wouldn't stop there. Of course nintendo will still have issues with real-time online. So they should make an alternate game mode that's in high definition, but work more as a strategic single-player experience against NPC racers only BASED on real player's online rankings and AI mimicry of their style, like trained Amiibo but you can download them during a Splatfest-like event. At the risk of spiraling into a 90% larger of a game, the way TO train these racers should be it's own game mode that works like Monster hunter or Death Stranding, where you build a "legacy" by harvesting your own equipment. The premise is that you hide your face like Boba Fett because you're building illegal race tracks on remote planets, and all the online players clocking in time doing the same things and wearing the same equipment are "imposters" of your character. THAT amalgamates into its own NPC character, and every Splatfest some fo them get their own reveal trailers as genuine new, F-Zero characters. Majority of players will see pretty much THEIR own avatar with slight changes become canon, in WWE-style hype trailer. For the foraging gameplay I'm not thinking anytihng too involved, just a nice addictive cycle like Earth Defense Force. Rather than high production value it should rely on quantity over quality of options, and a comic-book-style image filtering. No balanicng or anything, just basic robust design and a way to gather mass data of how the PLAYERS weed through the assets, and what they find most useful or interesting. I'll be placing my order on GameStop's desk, let's see if they have anytihng on stock. Or I'll just delay my purchase of a Switch for another month, going on, what, about 30 now since I went back to playing Vita.

Nintendo is literally sleeping on a game that actually looks like it'd be fun to make let alone play, with mechanics that Mario Kart wouldn't be able to really give justice to with how family-friendly and accessible they make the Mario Kart series.

Amazing xD

I suppose one could say you do what nintendon't

Where download

*Nintendo* : I feel like I forgot something *Community* : If you forgot it's probably not important *Nintendo* : Yeah your right A new F-Zero Game :-;

Guy... " Google Street View + F-Zero" !

most underrated youtuber

I want F-Zero X and GX at 280fps.

You know. If this were to be a thing you kept working on and adding more features/ polish to. Certain people would be willing to give you a couple bucks for the effort. The last game I played like this was Wipeout 2048... Great game. But, I neither have nor am willing to get another playstation to play it again.

Very impressive figuring this all out. But I also believe another aspect that makes F-Zero, or rather F-Zero GX charming and why people still want one even with the inspired games that exist is because it’s missing the characters, it’s not just the gameplay. Even though in the prior games you don’t really see them, you can make them put in the cockpit in GX, and knowing your selected character is in that vehicle gives the player a little more of a connection in an odd way.

You beat every track, in every difficulty, in one sitting?! Was your one sitting 2 months long?

Nintendo hire this man
