History

As of April 2017, I am no longer actively participating in this community.

While this is an indefinite/likely non-returnable hiatus, I am currently collaborating with another author to update my release library.

Projects - Released

Jungle Island

My first custom track was Jungle Island, released on 1st of January, 2012.

It was created entirely with no design, but drew inspiration from Fishdom Island for its appearance and features.

This is my only non-port custom track to date.

In mid 2019, a remastered version began production as a collaborative effort with another author.

SM64 Bob-omb Battlefield

A third remake was considered in 2017, but did not occur.

GBA Snow Land

My third custom track, GBA Snow Land made in Google SketchUp.

A remake using advanced modeling tools neared cosmetic completion, but did not make it to the track building portion of production. This was due to the higher standard set for Mode 7 track remakes introduced in Mario Kart 8.

In late 2019, development of a graphically updated version began as a part of an ongoing collaboration.
