− | + | Hey there! I'm AltairYoshi, or simply Altair! I'm a big fan of everything [[Nintendo]] and especially the Mario series. I have a variety of hobbies, such as art, video editing, gaming, and of course modding! I've been modding games since 2018, with my main focus being ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart DS''. I don't play or mod the games as much as I used to, as my interests have been changing, but I'm making some things here and there. | |
+ | |||
+ | For my tracks, I use [[Blender]]. My primary track design motto is to make tracks that really feel like places in the Mario universe when it comes to their settings and themes, with gameplay that aims to be somewhat interesting, and fair for all vehicles and players. I'm not very skilled at the game, so high level strats and cuts are not to be expected of what I make. Above all, I enjoy making visually appealing tracks and exploring the wide variety of KMP objects the game offers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | My policies regarding my creations are lax for the most part. If you wish to make a small update to one of my tracks, such as a bug fix or slot change, go ahead. If the update greatly concerns gameplay or visuals, I'd appreciate a message on Discord about it. Adding any of my tracks and mods to a distribution is totally fine by me, thank you if you do! If there's a texture, model or object I created that you wish to use in your track feel free, but I'd appreciate credit in the wiki page. Most of my textures are from Nintendo however, so those are obviously fair game. Chances are that any custom objects/models I make will also be released publicly later on, in which case they'll be listed in the ''Other Mods'' section of this page. | ||
