Damn, those are some expensive colors! XD But the end result is stunning, so if it's what's best, better get this than nothing! Also, I've been looking at Unity and after quite a bit of thought, I've decided to search for other engines. I've just seen that Unreal Engine 4 just got released for free and I think I'm gonna give it a try for JMG. I've seen countless speed designs and it looks like that if you've got the right assets and the right imagination, you can literally create a AAA looking level in just a couple of hours! Now, for the scripting, I've been thinking about learning C#, but since Unreal Engine uses C++, and I've heard it's a pain in the ass to learn, I'm not quite sure if it'd be a good idea. Still, I'll do my best to give Unreal Engine 4 as soon as I get my new computer (core i7, 980Ti, 16GBs of RAM), which will be perfect for creating and testing the game. I might just relearn Blender and start creating better models. Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts with you all.

this is just a rough- i was thinking since the first jm lettering was black and then gold for the second, i thought maybe a sapphire lettering would be fitting for galaxy i was thinking also maybe just doing the whole thing with a sapphire look. yeah and i think sony would have a problem with us using the jet moto logo so i put a period at the end of "Jet Moto"-- i actually don't like to do lettering or calligraphy haha so i was thinking of doing the final version later Attachments:

Also, for the copyright thing... I don't think Sony even KNOWS Jet Moto was a thing anymore. The worst/best thing that could happen is that JMG gains so much fame Sony shuts us down and creates JM4 themselves. This isn't Nintendo, so I'm sure they won't mind if I make a 100% free fan game anyway. Though if I wanted to sell this, I would've went a different way (changing the names at least), like the guy did with Hoverbike Joust. Also, good news, and bad news. The bad news is school is starting soon, at least for me, which will be my last year in secondary school. But the good news is my new computer's gonna be here soon! In a month or two, it'll be here, which means I can finally start working on JMG again!

Hmm i guess you're right i mean there's no hiding that this is in appreciation of Jet Moto and we just want people to have fun with it, in a way it's like those modified games that people do and they don't get into legal trouble right?
yeah i wanna give it that gleam that the jet moto 2 title had. when i do the images you can copy and paste the JMG logo on the side or wherever, you could do that right? ya know so i don't have to continually write up the logo-- so i was brainstorming the other day on how i was gonna go about this and i've decided i'm gonna do the 10 characters just in colored pencil lay it in with the col-erase then use the faber castell ones to bring it to life and for the unlockable characters i'll make them in ink black and white-- also for the winning screen shots i was just thinking of making 3 for every outcome- meaning if you place within the top 3 you get the Winners screenshot like they did in crash team racing ya know with the champagne and everything-- the only difference between the 2 winning shots is whether you picked a male or female character-- now if you placed below 3rd place then you'll get the loser's circle screenshot-- So in total i guess there'll be 20 images 15 characters,3 post race shots,1 cover, 1 logo.
I'll begin this project sometime in the future

That sounds awesome! Meanwhile, I'll start working in Unreal Engine as soon as I can. Their blueprints seem to be easier to learn than C#, so that's freaking awesome! Also, I agree, the first two JM logos were awesome, and the whole sapphire looks would be amazing. And what do you mean by copy and paste the JMG logo on the side?

you know how when covers are revealed in their natural state they don't have the giant logo of whatever it is 0n it-- like album covers the whole portrait is done and then somehow they copy and paste the band's logo on it-- and that's what i was hoping you could do, it sounds like a simple command right?
That's good to hear man, well i need to study some more i'm still prepping for white hornet's album cover i'm almost there to starting it so all my attention is gonna go on that first i'm thinking sometime in late October starting it- and then after that's done i'm gonna study some more and then get to Galaxy, that may be in early 2017- i know it sounds like a long time but i still got lots to learn and it'll be worth it

Well, it's really the easiest thing to do. All I have to do is get the logo on a transparent background and paste it on any image I want. And for JMG, I'll probably be just barely done with the physics themselves in 2017 anyway, so that's not a problem. If I put all my work into JMG, it might be done in 2020, but that's just an estimate. It may be done earlier or later, depending on what problems I encounter.

Sounds good dude, yeah i mean it's just you and me haha, so it would take awhile- i wanna get a good understanding of how to draw machinery before i get started on Galaxy's art

Since this is my last year in secondary school, I'm most likely gonna go to college next year, so that means I won't have as much time to work on JMG and my YouTube channel, and depending on how hard it is, I might not have time at all, so that's a thing.

Yeah, I was lazy all last year and barely passed. I'm gonna try not to fuck it up this year. Last year is no joke, I don't wanna be stuck re-doing all that shit again! And then, college is gonna be even more important, so every bit of free time I have will be precious.

LOOK AT THAT. IT'S EASY AS FUCK AND LOOK AT THE GRAPHICS. THIS COULD BE JMG'S GRAPHICS IF I MAKE IT ON THE UNREAL ENGINE 4!! Imagine Slickrock Gorge with those damn graphics...

Unreal engine is a high powered piece of equipment and is a lot harder to use than unity, but if you put a lot of time and effort into it I'm sure you could figure it out. You are a smart kid, but the learning curve is 10x that of unity.

Yep, it seems like it. I messed around with it and the way it's made isn't as noob friendly as Unity. But there's a plus, Unreal's Blueprints coding seems to actually be easier to use and organize. I might just put my machinimas on hold and go full on learning UE. The graphics are simply amazing, and it's so simple to create stuff if you know how. I've also found that Unity's physics engine is inferior to that of Unreal Engine, ESPECIALLY when it comes to vehicles, which I'll need to make the perfect Jet Moto game.

well more good news, i figured out how to color comics- the way to do it is with colored ink and water- that's the short version of the answer haha i still need to practice the method more but the good thing is i finally got the "look" i was looking for which is largely based off of jet moto of course!
so i tried visualizing walking into a store that sells games and finding a copy of Jet Moto Galaxy on the wall of new ps1 releases and I Saw Black yeah the Logo was that jet moto 2 logo shaded black with 3 racers fighting for first head on with white water splashing like the first one with a white background like 90's squaresoft -- yeah i just couldn't think of an appropriate background for the Sapphire logo it could be done but i think it'll just have to wait for another day.
so i'm first going to do the cover in colored pencil and if i like the way it comes out and feel it's appropriate for a jet moto vibe then i'll leave it as is but if i don't then i'll see what it looks like in comic style and then in that case the logo will be in solid black ink like jet moto 1 but the green and blue swipes will also be black without that black line border around the whole thing, it'll look as if floating in white if that makes sense so yep that's what i got
ah kinda like the ps3 twisted metal cover is what it's probably gonna resemble
