Hi Magroc,

Thanks for the feedback! I probably won't be able to do all your suggestions (like switching to a boat), it certainly gives me some inspiration.

I will add police chases at one point. Not sure how far I will take it though. It will be something between a brief encountering like in the original game and a full blown chase like in Need for Speed. (I won't be adding the shooting stuff though.)

I certainly would like to add the following cars: Porsche Carrera/930, and KITT from Knight Rider. Maybe the Jaguar as well. Thanks for the links to the 3D models! And if you're able to, you can certainly try to draw a car!

I'm about to add fuel consumption in my new game mode: cruising. You'll have to stop at a gas station to add more fuel and perhaps repair it at a garage.

Hi Sk1ds,

I am interested in trying to design a car by converting a number of car images from different angles to pixel art with Photoshop and continue with your car creation tool. Could you please confirm that to run the Turbo Outrun car creation tool .ods I need to install Microsoft office? Another thing do you think that in the future you can add the Road block with police cars or something else, and the only way to proceed is to drive up on a tow truck or trailer at high speed lunching the car into the air?

Hello Magroc, it took me a while to answer, but here it is.

You can also use Open Office. It's free! And awesome that you're trying to make a car!

There are two problems with the suggestion of adding road blocks:

- In order to make the cars jump, I need to write some physics so they jump in a realistic manner. Luckily I was already thinking about the idea of going airborne. Think San Francisco.

- The police road block doesn't sound too bad, just like the passing train, but the conveniently placed truck sounds a bit like a predictable trope of an 80's tv show/movie. And I don't like being predictable, so I'm not sure about this one.

I really like the train though, but I prefer to stay on the ground and just trying to get in front of it.
