Desert mountains for endurance 60 70 80

Three dimensional scene for today based on rally, desert and a little of videogame Sega Rally for game console Sega Saturn. More like a low poly graphics for racing. About desert. Rally type. Fun to make a one more circle, as I remember, in Sega Rally for my Saturn white color. And game has a few of tracks and cars. But it plays as a cool arcade. To have a free time and to race.

And this is my three dimensional scene. It result as more simple then I expect. But it can be like this. Stretched textures. And low of details. But idea of racing about a sands it has here. And even it can be rather fun.

So, ahead it is sun and sand. Amongst the mountains. Narrow turns. And all the time you can run into mountain. But here it is not scary – anyway it is arcade racing. You just stop at the corner and lost of speed. And that’s all. So just race ahead. To crawl though desert mountain road. Winding road.

Road ahead – it is very winding. And this is a race for endurance. Sun it is very strong here. And it is very hot here. And nothing more except sand and mountains. Go accurate and keep to have a certain speed. To move fast – it is dangerous. And a slow move – it is also not an option.

And, more, it is retro. 60s, 70s, 80s. Full retro movement. Retro rally in deserts. Cinema camera is with sand. And resolution is maximum with 1024. True. Widescreen. As some old movies. That is very wide view.  And lots of white. And sand. Sand and sun. Sun and sand.

Arthouse sand and desert. Everything white. And to race long long ahead. And it is good to add a little of noise to add for graphics, for sometimes effect. Not like Silent Hill 2. But also a little of noise effect for sometimes.

Ahead it is a miles of sands under the sun!

In less than 24 hours, the first big motorsports event of the year starts, the Rally Dakar 2024. And with it, the new season of the FIA W2RC.

This year, it might get interesting with a few new things, compared to last year. First, there is the 48 hour stage, that is basically a extremely long stage with four night camps on the route, and the drivers have to stop at the next camp, after a specific time, to rest for the night. In the morning they'll have to continue the race from there and the time will continue to run. There won't be any service from their crew at night. It's basically the evolution of the marathon stage.

Nasser Al-Attiyah will be driving one of the Prodrive Hunter this year and is now a teammate of Sebastien Loeb. Which means one of the best rally pilots ever and one of the best rally raid pilots ever are now driving for the same team. It will be interesting to see who'll be the better one, but my prediction is Nasser Al-Attiyah.

Nasser's seat in the Toyota Hilux now goes to Seth Quintero from the USA. He was one of the top drivers, in the last two years, in the T3 category for lightweight prototypes. I think he is a good addition to the team and will make a good job. If he will be racing for the win in his first T1+ year is hard to answer, but I'd give him a year, instead of thinking he can win this year.

Will Audi finally be able to demonstrate that a electric car can win the Dakar? The car is definitely fast enough, and also the drivers are, especially with Stephane Peterhansel and Carlos Sainz. But what about the reliability? That was the big weakness in the last two years, maybe they will finally have a Dakar without too many problems. If yes, they will probably win.

Joan Barreda Bort is now driving for Hero. Will he finally win his first Dakar, or will he once again, lose it because of one of his many mistakes and crashes? He is fast enough for the win, he just needs to reduce his mistakes and maybe take a bit less risk.

Or will the win go back to KTM, after Honda won last year? The bike category will be as interesting as never before, at least if you take the last 20 years.

The truck category will get very unpredictable again. The second year without Kamaz and the third year without MAZ means that the Iveco of the DeRooy team and the czech MM Technology Iveco, driven by Martin Maczik, will be the big favorites. But Ales Loprais is always good for a surprise with his Praga.

The tints of the dunes changed according to the time of day and the angle of the light: golden as apricots from far off, when we drove close to them they turned to freshly made butter; behind us they grew pink; from sand to rock, the materials of which the desert was made varied as much as its tints.

searchin’ for my dreams

inspired by that one song from Sega Rally 2 that I also listened to while making this:

There's so much going on here. The exhausted rider trying to make it off the rocky path, the co-driver jumping out the car to help push the bike and then deciding "I'm taking over", the Toyota popping up from another side and overtaking the stopped car, the co-driver running 🏃🏼‍♂️💨 back to his own vehicle

currently thinking about how "we'll carry on" is sung in both black parade and desert song and how differently its sung in each

Colin McRae Rally 2 – snow, sand and tea at the country house

For a long time, I planned to get to genre of racing games. Rally, for example. Or something like arcade racing to play. For diversity. I like such not complicated games like shooters. For example, second Quake. So, you walk and shoot. Complete a labyrinth. Or like a racing games. You ride. Make a turns from time to time.

To speed down in turns. Maybe, it is more about arcade racing games. So, I planned for a long time to reach racing games genre. Except shooters.

And this moment is here. First such game for me it is a rally style game. Colin McRae Rally 2. It is rather well designed and interesting racing game. With a different game modes. And very good about graphics. Even more to say – excellent. And very involving game process. And I make a race with mode single race. You have several tracks at your choice. Different. There is sands, Greece. There is snow, some northern country. There is Italy, or something like that. And several cars to select. And when you are on the race, to change view. Something like view from a hood, some aside, and more far view. More close view. It is very remarkable.

In such games, for a long time, already, developers know how to make a very cool and cinematic like a movie replays. This thing, already, looks like a movie. So, here we have a cool replay too. So, right after the race, you see how you do it. As a movie!

Racing tracks are interesting. You need to learn track. As labyrinth, something like this. To know what places you can go faster. And what place has a raw turn, or big turn. And what place you need to be more carefully. Car can go in aside. And rush into the bushes. And also, you can ride straight in a tree on some winter track. So, this game has lots of places, where you can go off the track! And this makes this game interesting. Also, it is not hard to play this game. And you can simply have some tracks during your weekend. To make a circle after circle. And do like this. For free time and relax, I do one more circle.

And it has a very cool and stylish game menu. It is a style. That’s for sure. And game at the very start, it has a movie intro. Such an intro, u know. Cool intro. Video. The way you need to drive in game. To make a cool turns. Sunlight straight into the eyes. Such a beautiful and epic frames. And this game is play like something that in this movie intro, same style. Full action. Good arcade level. It is goes dynamically and not boring at all!

Right now, I practiced in single race. I played in this mode only. For relax. But, game also has another game modes. Which I will try one by one! At this moment game gives you mass of emotions. A real rally! Emotions, drive. So, game has it. And, I repeat, that I even don’t try all game modes yet. And I all the time do one more circle. I drink a tea. And make a circle. So, it is excellent summer countryside retro weekend.

In some old times I played in first part. When it was just released. It was a new game in those times. I remember that. And I launch it. In those times. And I like a lot first part. And only one sad thing, that I have a disc with game only for one day. To play. To try it. New for me genre of rally racing games.

And now I start from second part. So, I think, I need to try first part again too. Game control is light and good. There is automatically transmission. Well, you can set a manual too. But, I play with auto. So, it is more easier.

Several times I try attack time mode. And, as idea, you are with yourself. With your ghost. As it named in a racing games. It is also rather nice things. Try to get a better result, than your previous best result. Make a circle. Make a second one. It is appearing at the track your ghost. And you try to make your result better. You have a competition with yourself. So, I spent some time in this mode too.

But, most of time, I pay attention to single race mode. I like, mainly, arcade racing games. With good graphics. Some diversity at the racing track. Cars. So, I ride with virtual wind. Who don’t like this games. Game makes a most positive impressions. From a very first meet. And ahead it is still a summer days. Country house. Retro gaming. And new game modes! Which it will so cool to try! But single race is really good! It is racing cool!

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.
