Thank you, this is much appreciated!

I’ve created a Trackmania feed here on bsky. I’ll try to improve it in the coming days and weeks. You can find it by searching Trackmania in feeds. #trackmania

Thank you for the nice words! 😇

I didn't expect to win a popularity contest against Deep Dip, so 2nd place for 'Map of the year' feels like a win to me! 🥳

Eventually the map will be "solved" and it will play out like a regular map. But the journey to get there can be so much fun. The map is no longer just a choreography of corners to be learned, but a puzzle to be solved and an adventure to be explored.

In a meta where we are so used to mapping narrow corridors, I think this could be a really refreshing trend. Imagine open ended sections that split into different routes, hiding short cuts for the observant eye. There are so many racing games that use similar level design to draw inspiration from. 👇

Remember when this was Track of the Day and we collectively went "wow, what a cool multiroute map!" ... and nothing like that was released ever again. Can we normalise multiroute maps please? (continued 👇)

Surely this can be built in Trackmania, right?

Welcome aboard! 🥳

A car racing and drifting very close to a wall while driving over some elevated ripple strips. The camera is slightly angled to give an exciting and low view of the back of the car as it enters a curve. In front of the vehicle is a checkpoint which the car is about to activate. Above the car is an arch with the words "Trackmania Racing Park". The photo is taken in the video game TrackMania 2 Canyon.

Hello Bluesky! We love Trackmania!

Eventually your mentality will shift. You can stop playing catch up with other creators, and start expressing your own creative vision that stands on it's own.
You can start by asking yourself:
"What is an experience I have had in my life that I would want to share with others?" 🧠

Instead, draw inspiration from everywhere else. If you are making a Trackmania map, look at other video games, or other forms of media entirely. Study how rollercoasters are designed. Study level design books. Find inspiring images you'd like to emulate. Bring your own flavor to the mix. 👇

📖 A quote on inspiration that has stuck with me years after reading it:
"They can copy my moves, but they can never copy my inspiration."
When making your own original work, you shouldn't just look at work similar to yours for inspiration. You'll always be one step behind. (continued 👇)

Thanks for letting me know!
