Game: Distance Map: Altitude Realm Map Creator: MastrMagik Custom Car: Power Rage (New Realm. Could be a little laggy, not too sure. Game crashed on my first attempt.)
🤔 This heavily resembles the Canyon Realm, to be honest. And in this case, that’s definitely not a bad thing. There’s a decent amount of variety in the environmental set-pieces, and the stalagmites and other big rocks provide a fairly consistent challenge, especially for those looking to attack the track at high speed. It’s just a shame that there aren’t any set-pieces or obstacles that really take advantage of the whole “being suspended high in the sky” aspect of the environment.
Level creator here 🙂 In the context of the Accelerates world, this realm would be a challenge for the drivers themselves and the effect driving at high altitudes has on the body. IRL the lack of oxygen for your body causes fatigue so I wanted to keep the realm anchored to that logic. A challenging more obstacle based drive would take it away from that idea that this is a test for the drivers themselves and their physical endurance, not their skill behind the wheel. The lack of sides and glass track sections keep that high up, long way down fear aspect for drivers and being 'on the edge' of the cliffs, whilst also having that low oxygen dynamic would make simpler challenges more demanding. I thought about having more cool set pieces and scenery like my other realms do, but I thought it took away from the 'up in the clouds high altitude' feeling I wanted this one to have. Having loads of obstacles sometimes makes it feel too much like a distance level to me, not a realm that the accelerates would face. Overall I wanted it to reflect the skill its testing as I do all my realms, sit in that high altitude aesthetic but not be too close to both the Canyon and Cliffside realms in look. For it to have its own flavour with a sense of familiarity from past realms. They have their own skills to master as does this one so they have individual purpose. 🙂

Sort of like a carded Cliffside
