Ad oltre un anno dal lancio del periodo di closed beta e dopo un lungo e preoccupante silenzio, torna finalmente a mostrarsi in video il nuovo KartKraft, titolo dedicato ovviamente al mondo del karting che negli ultimi mesi sembrava essere scomparso nel nulla... I tre video che trovate qui sotto, catturati dalla release beta attuale del software, ci mostrano un kart KA100 sul circuito Geelong Karting club, un X30 sulla pista di PF International e del Victoria Go Kart. A quanto pare l'annuncio della release 1 di Kart Racing Pro non è passato inosservato...

Il sito di RaceDepartment ha pubblicato a questo link una interessante intervista fatta a Zach Griffin di Black Delta, il neonato studio al lavoro sullo sviluppo di KartSim, nuovo titolo dedicato al mondo del karting. Zach ha confermato a più riprese che il gioco, nato nel lontano 2007 come KartSim, è assolutamente un simulatore di guida puro. Non mancano alcuni screenshots inediti e spettacolari. RD: What sort of simulation are you aiming for here, are we looking at a faithful recreation of kart racing in a hardcore simulation style or maybe something more entry level and “simcade” orientated. ZG: We’ve been getting this question quite a lot lately and let me assure you, KartKraft is a pure bred karting simulation. To explain what that actually means, a physics simulation at its core (in this explanation, an internal combustion engine revving by itself), is a set of parametric inputs (RPM, moment of inertia, torque vs RPM, throttle position etc), a set of equations called the model (angular acceleration = torque / moment of inertia, angular velocity = current angular velocity + angular acceleration * time) and a set of outputs (angular velocity / engine RPM). So essentially, you take the inputs, plug them into the equations, integrate them, and now you have the resulting angular velocity/RPM and torque output. Changing the amount of torque will change how fast the engine revs, as will the moment of inertia. The physics engine is made up of multiple models (engine, tyres, gearbox, suspension, aero etc) that all communicate with each other to simulate the complete vehicle.

A sorpresa arriva oggi un nuovo e spettacolare trailer di anteprima dedicato a KartKraft, titolo targato Black Delta dedicato al mondo del karting. Il video annuncia fra l'altro il prossimo arrivo di KartKraft nella fase di accesso anticipato tramite Steam. Una data precisa non è nota, ma a giudicare dalle immagini non dovrebbe mancare molto....

Dopo l'annuncio della partnership con il marchio Formula K e le immagini dei giorni scorsi, oggi finalmente ci viene mostrato in azione in video il nuovo KartKraft: il trailer, catturato direttamente in game senza alcuna elaborazione, è lungo solo 11 secondi, ma ci fa ben sperare a livello simulativo...

Dopo un lungo periodo di silenzio, arrivano finalmente nuove informazioni ed alcune immagini inedite riguardanti il nuovo ed atteso KartKraft (che prima si chiamava Kartsim). Il lancio del gioco è stato posticipato al primo quadrimestre del 2016, per poter implementare nuovi contenuti e features, ma è già in preparazione la fase di accesso anticipato tramite Steam, anche se non è chiaro quando sarà disponibile. After rushing back to Australia from our incredible reception at Gamescom 2015, we’ve been deep in the trenches preparing for KartKraft’s Early Access release. There’s been a huge demand for new content and screenshots from the game, as well as an influx of emails, tweets and comments of your suggestions and game ideas. We’ve listened, added them to our feature request list, and have already begun incorporating some of those ideas into the game. It has also been very clear that we need to increase the frequency of posting new content and improve our communication with you. Balancing an increasingly demanding development schedule alongside running the studio, has highlighted the need for us to add someone dedicated to being your eyes and ears inside the studio. Having led the Gran Turismo community, as well as several other AAA titles, he’s here to make sure you’re kept completely up to date. No more radio silence, guaranteed! And now a quick update on KartKraft; after the feedback from our weekly testing sessions at Black Delta HQ with local gamers and kart drivers, we’ve decided to extend the launch of the game to Q1 next year to add additional features, improvements and optimisations to the game, which we’ll detail in an upcoming blog post. In the next week we’ll be releasing KartKraft’s first teaser trailer since the switch to Unreal Engine 4. With exclusive in game footage, new tracks and features, it leaves the Greenlight trailer in the dust! Finally, we’ve got 5 brand new unedited in-game screenshots taken in KartKraft, showing the official 2015 Praga Karts™ Dragon Evo with the 22hp IAME™/ Remo Racing™ KA100 motor lapping the laser scannedGeelong Karting Club circuit in Melbourne, Australia. Thank you again for all your patience, and stay tuned for the teaser trailer! You can also stay in touch via Steam, Twitter and Facebook, or feel free to drop us a line at contact@blackdelta.com.au.
