STK is a terrrrible Mario Kart clone, but if you switch to ‘Time Trials’ mode, it’s actually a pretty fun and simple racing sim.
Not many people know that, sadly.
(except for the part about it being a bad MK clone)
That might make it worth cloning right there, but the sweet spot is user created tracks!
I used to dream about someone making a Minecraft mod out of it so the MC community could make tracks and that’s still a possibility, but it could definitely be done in UE also.
I’m not the guy to do it though.
I’m mostly here for cinematics, but if someone else made the game I’d definitely want to try and make tracks for it.
I do like the driving and physics in STK, as simple as they are, and it is open source.
I like the name, ‘SuperTuxKart - Racing!’ to differentiate it from STK.
I don’t think it should be free, but it should be cheap - $5 sounds good.
I also think it might inspire people to get into game development too.
(Is it hard to make roads and terrain in UE?
I just installed it today, lol.
Someone will make a tutorial I’m sure.
It can’t be any harder than making tracks in STK, that also sucks!)
