584 hours, and the route for CORE is 100% finished.
This includes 214 custom respawns, tons of tiny adjustments, rare landing bug fixes and a lot more. I've never enjoyed one of my routes this much.
Next step: scenery/story. Blender time 👏
It's finally time! I'm just out of a 12-hour polishing session, and everything's ready to go for my 2024 campaign.
~30 scenery mappers, 25 routes by me, and some extra maps to be released later! Server discovery in my club after COTD today - super excited!
Excited to showcase some puzzlemode this Sunday! Played it a bit myself recently and it's really creative and fun.
Can't wait to see the big brain solutions these players come up with 👀
Groups/Semifinals are out! Additionally to all the POV streams @sbv_sm and @Marius89TM will provide a global cast!
Also Samifying will replace Massa due to an injury.
See you all on Sunday! #PuzzleMania
The least and the most intense ending to a bingo match.
Last map of a 69-minute battle, needing 3:38.362 to beat the green team's time on some weird underwater remake track. 10-speed ice water downhill deciding the whole thing.
Certified Trackmania moment
Second Div 2 COTD win secured!
Not sure how I got this one, honestly I was very slow on this map, but got a PB when it mattered the most. Definitely improving at the game recently, feels great
After around a month of work, Grindstone is out!
The 5-min mixed map is designed for new players to improve in a balanced way. I tried to include as many common techniques, styles and blocktypes as possible, and I think it came out great!

Finally got around to validating the DesertCar version of Thread of Ariadne. Really surprised how fun it was - most things work great, some wonky sections but it's pretty intense!
And what if I told you... sub 20 seems possible again? 👀
Enjoy!

There's a worrying trend in TM, where after a bad TOTD or even RMC track, some people will call for the mapper to - for example - never build again or uninstall the game.
This seems completely normalized, and few people seem actually interested in helping mappers improve. 1/4
Yet, for TM to be sustainable, we need these new mappers. If they get told "dogshit map, uninstall" after their first few tries, it's not exactly encouraging or welcoming.
It really doesn't take a lot to just explain what you didn't like about the map. 3/4
For the first time in years, getting all of these feels like a solid achievement. Under 13 hours for all medals, close to half of that for map 25 AT.
As a player, first impressions of the new campaign are pretty positive, some great maps and much better diversity than the previous campaigns!
But as a mapper... was excited for the 5 new block colors, and then we find out that THIS is the implementation...
Well deserved, gg Intax!
Appreciate everyone who voted for me, knowing my maps are appreciated so much definitely keeps me motivated. Gonna cook a lot this year, let's go
Very flattered to be nominated for mapper of the year 2023 in TM Awards, especially next to these other fantastic mappers!
Enjoyed building my own campaign and also providing maps for competitions and events throughout the year. Glad if people liked them! 😊

Thread of Rallyadne is out! 🚗
This is an unaltered RallyCar version of Thread of Ariadne. Unlike the SnowCar, it works surprisingly well! The only change is 3 extra turbos before the final jump to make it more huntable, otherwise it's the same as original.

Validation is just under 25 minutes, but I'm sure it's possible to go way faster. Prepare for tricky lines and speechecks, as the original map is for StadiumCar!
Enjoy!
Congratulations to all 10 analog keyboard players in TM for receiving a buff!
In tomorrow’s update, we are experimenting a new Action Key feature developed for the new Snow and Rally cars.

Very proud of this track that I built for @DexteR771TM's upcoming campaign project! Full 9-lap version will be out with the rest of the campaign, stay tuned!
Really looking forward to seeing him and everyone else hunt it - should I maybe make a 45-sec TOTD version of this? 👀
