Gameplay Modes: Random Juicer & Juicer
Hi guys,
we are really excited! All-Star Fruit Racing will be released in Early Access in a few hours! This project is very important for us and, we fervently hope that All-Star Fruit Racing will become one of your favorite games!
As announced before, we'll be working hard to release a new update every week. Our goal is to release, as soon as possible, the online multiplayer. We are perfectioning some online details but, first of all, we prefer you training for the big online challenges.
We recommend to start immediately with Career Mode: in this way, you can unlock new characters, new tracks and new difficulty levels, as soon as possible. So you'll begin to taste the game a little by little.
At Day 1 of Early Access, you can play 2 different Gameplay Modes: RANDOM JUICER and JUICER. Dragster, Elimination and Elimination Mix will be added during Early Access, as soon as they are ready.
In this DevBlog #3, we explain the first two Gameplay Modes.
RANDOM JUICER
It is the less strategic mode: Random Juicer is perfect for a new player because it gives the chance to learn and to become familiar with tracks, characters, racing formats and other essential features.
In the Random Juicer mode, players collect a “surprise” bubble which gives a random move, within all available!
JUICER
It is the main gameplay mode: players collect fruits on track, during the race, to fill the tanks.
This gameplay feature is the Juice Extractor System (the Juicer): positioned on the back of each kart the juicer blends fruits that are collected on track during the race. The resulting fresh juice obtained can be used to unleash unique Skills and Powers for your kart.
Once you have filled a tank you can unleash a power move to gain advantage over your opponents. If you have two or more tanks full then you can choose to use a combo move, the more tanks that are full the stronger the combo move.
Patience however is a virtue, wait until all four tanks are full and you can throw a “Mega-Juice” skill. Each pilot has its own unique “Mega-Juice” move that can only be used if all four tanks are full, these power moves if used correctly and strategically have the potential to turn a race on its head.
Gameplay is easy to learn, hard to master. An expert gamer can choose more difficult tracks in order to collect more fruit and can also manually deactivate their karts tanks.
Below, you can see the keyboard and gamepad controls.
If you need something more detailed let us know and we'll arrange a new gameplay video!
DEVBLOG #02 - Early Access is coming!
All-Star Fruit Racing: Early Access countdown begins!
Are you ready for September 4th?
4 islands, 4 tracks each, will be available at the very beginning of the Early Access version. The first 2 islands will be immediately available and you'll unlock the other 2 through game progression.
A 5th island (5 tracks included) will be released during EA. A total of 21 unique tracks! 😊
Below, you'll find the Summer and Winter islands "Making of", from the sketches to the final design:
Coco Sunshine island reveal (2D and 3D):
3DClouds is a blended team that assembles both veterans and rookies... their combination has made this happen. Our "elite juvenile" has grown in a way that we are very proud of, both in qualities and skills. They have created the structure of the game and the veterans made it solid and valuable.
Online Mode will not be available at the start of Early Access, we're working hard to make this feature fun and stable for a pleasing and entertaining user game experience! We'll do our best to release Online Mode as soon as possible (released during Early Access).
All-Star Fruit Racing attended to Gamescom 2017!
Anyone who has not lived or worked in Italy may not be aware that Italy almost closes down during August, the cities empty as everyone runs to the beach or the mountains to escape the heat but a part of our team took part at the Gamescom. It was an amazing experience!
We had a lot of fun and met so many people... It was a pleasure showing the hard work we did during the last year.
So all we have to do now is waiting for September 4th and play the game with all of you guys and girls! See you soon!
All-Star Fruit Racing at Gamescom 2017!
3DClouds will proudly take part at Gamescom 2017 event! 😁😍😎 Ready... Steady... GO! 🍎🍊🍋🍉🍇🍈🥑🥝
DEVBLOG #01 - Why Fruits?
Hi Fruit Racers,
As you know last Thursday we announced the 4th of September as our early access go live date. The response so far has been great but it has already thrown up lots of questions that we can reply to already.
FPS
Some concerns were raised that in the trailer the frame rate appeared to drop in multiscreen, the trailer was created from a version of the game from a couple of months ago and was already stable. Having said that we have improved the fps even further during the last two months and will continue to do so throughout the early access. We are happy with where we are but are striving to improve further.
GAMEPLAY
A kart racing game lives or dies with its gameplay, our aim is for the game to be easy to play but hard to master indeed it’s our mantra. We added a strategic element with the powerups to ensure player engagement, let us explain more.
Each kart has a juicer on the back and each juicer contains 4 tanks. Fill each tank by collecting the relevant fruit along the track. Once 1 tank is full you can use a special move however if wait until 2 tanks are full then the special move will be more powerful and even more so with 3 full tanks. Now wait until all 4 tanks are full and you can use your mega-juice move, each character has a unique special mega-juice move you will need to try them all to find your favourite.
CHARACTERS
We read several comments about the fact that All-Star Fruit Racing has an all-female cast some positive and some less so. We wanted to leave just a little bit more of suspense but... 😊 The cast is male and female although the majority are female. We sketched dozens of characters and simply chose the ones we liked the most of which are of the gentler sex. p.s. we discarded the characters that we thought were too sexy as it was not the feel we were looking for.
FRUIT
Fruit why fruit? This is our first game so obviously we don’t have a catalogue of characters to pull from so we needed something else that everyone could identify with. Fruit ticked all the right boxes as everyone recognises fruit and almost everyone thinks of fruit with a degree of affection. Most importantly a fruit theme gave our artists incredible flexibility and really go their “Fruit juices” flowing (sorry couldn’t resist). Join our early access and you can see if you can spot the several tributes to our favourite movies.
But there's more to it....
INSPIRATION
Lots of comments regarding Mario / CTR / Sonic and the Sugar Rush game in the film Wreck It Ralph, we love all of these games and films and we played and watched them constantly during our design period so yes of course they had an influence but it was only a starting point. We really hope to have brought a new dimension to kart racing for sure it’s the first true next gen kart racer and nothing previous has had the cool fresh look of fruit or the not so hidden tributes mentioned earlier.
Keep your questions and comments coming and remember All-Star Fruit Racing available 4th September in Early Access.
All-Star Fruit Racing - Early Access!
Hi,
All-Star Fruit Racing is coming along nicely and we are announcing today the release in Early Access on September 4, 2017. Early Access will allow us to gather feedback from our fan base so that we can improve our game even further. We are excited to let everyone get their hands on All-Star Fruit Racing as it is incredible fun and the graphics and artwork are simply stunning!
We can’t wait to get your feedback!
Inspired by the colourful and diverse world of fruit, the moment was ripe to make All-Star Fruit Racing the first and only kart game to put together a concept that brings fun, strategy, madness and education like nothing before. Each character is based on an individual fruit each with their own distinct fruity look, the different vitamins of each fruit give every character unique powers and skills.
The main gameplay feature is the Juice Extractor System (the Juicer): positioned on the back of each kart the juicer blends fruits that are collected on track during the race the resulting fresh juice obtained can be used to unleash unique Skills and Powers for your kart.
