A little something that i made for a little trend on twitter in which you basically put your Deltarune OC in cool karts.

Thought it would be nice to share it here so other people do this too (if you want to of course)!

RAILY HAS JOINED THE ROUNDUP!

if there would be a secret boss racing game thing, I would imagine it to be like mario cart snes. So I kinda based the sprite around the cart sprites from that game.

anyways, the rail gun is basically like a instant red shell, basically raily will have 3 bullets, and he would be able to shoot the gun three times at other opponents, causing them to be stunned in place.

Btw @mercair posted this cool idea with their woodstern sb, so ya I wanna spread the idea around as well. It’s cool as hell.

Holy shit it’s gasper the ghost

the ice ball slows other racers when thrown at them btw.

srry if this is a pain but when you say "Deltarune OC" for DELTAKARTS does that include AUS or not

Like roleswaps likw deltaswap or deltashift if that makes sense

I think anything counts, yeah. I didnt make the trend but still, i think anything deltarune related can hop in

tricky tony made two whole games based on a dream he had once NEVER GIVE UP

also... deltarune racing game? 👀

AAAAUGH Yeah I should persevere anyway but I have other responsibilities as well...

Also yes!! I've been thinking about it for a while now! It's sort of a springboard for my own racing game ideas but I find it rlly fun trying to fit in all the characters n stuff

My main concept is instead of a Mario-kart style game where you pick up random items on the road, each character could have a special ability of some kind that can push them forward in the race (or pull someone else back) (Ideally these would all be balanced so that there are no OP or super weak characters)

In my mind there would be 3 types: Target, Blast, and Support.

Target abilites affect a single racer; usually the racer directly in front of the player, the racer in first place, or the racer directly behind you (most of my concepts so far are abt the racer directly in front). For example, Susie's ability would be RUDE BUSTER, which targets a racer in front of her and causes them to spin out.

Blast, meanwhile, affects an immediate area around the player. This can be anything like damage or status effects. For example, Berdly's ability, TORNADO, throws his tornado bullets out in a circle around him and damages other players, while Ralsei's ability PACIFY will slow nearby racers down for a few seconds.

Support is anything that helps the player directly, such as a speed boost, recovery from damage, or, like Kris's DEFEND ability, defense against attacks. Since these can be a little weaker on their own, in team modes the support effect would be applied to your teammates as well.

Aside from all that I also have so many gimmicky character ideas. Sweet Cap'n Cakes all count as one character and race in the same car (K_K drives, the other two cling on K_K's shoulders), but you can only pick as one Mike to play (the whole Trio is one character slot, though-- essentially they're different skins). The Lightners all have skins where you can choose between their light world and dark world forms. MysteryMan/Gaster is a secret unlockable character. Rouxls's ability would change a random stat since he can mess with the rules. Queen's ability would be called DISCOURSE and messes with your steering. I have so so many ideas and I want to make them all real but AUGH

Also the cars. The cars. The Thrash Machine would be customizable with the Duck being the most annoying combination in the whole game. The church world themed car would do best gliding along & holding speed but have low handling, bc it would be like riding on the tides of fate. The Cyber World themed car would sprout legs when boosting and have a lot of bounce when hitting things. Playable Cungadero. I could go on

In short. I have a lot of ideas. And I wanna make this game. But idk if I wanna make it bad enough to learn how to make a game. It's mostly a fun idea
