I remade MARIO KART but with RAGDOLLS

I inject new life into the classic Mario Kart series by adding ragdolls and teach the AI to drive around using machine learning

I'm a licensed architect who somehow made his way into becoming an indie game developer. Before starting this journey I literally had no experience with Unity, c#, coding, or programming. Now I share fun (and hopefully funny) videos about what I'm working on via this devlog / devblog.

Check out some of my other videos!

This man had 24 hours left for a challenge and really thought "Let's learn machine learning"

[PolycatGames]

Ragdolls really do make every game better!

[CodeMonkeyUnity]

Oh wow you were on a strict timeline and just decided to get into Machine Learning? And you managed to actually learn it that quickly? That is seriously impressive, congrats!

[NathanOnline]

I have to agree, mowing down your enemies is always the most fun solution

literally LOL'd when Peach sent Mario flying at the end

[lejodev]

This video was so fun to watch, the part where you said "it looked cool infront of my wife" was one of the funniest parts

[GEMAPLYS]

Amazing video!
Your content seems to be improving even more and I'm really glad I subscribed! Hope you keep making these cause you have A LOT of potential. You deserve WAY more views than what you're currently getting and I think one day you'll reach a major audience.

It would've been cool to see the wacky scenarios playing with 11 ais vs the 1 would be with a little bit of extra dev time

[Xenia_Wily]

Adding checkpoints that contain an incrementing requirement value, which corresponds to the current lap the agent's in could work? Maybe a one-directional barrier that keeps them from going back through the finish line until it reaches that last checkpoint line? That way, it'll actually be forced to go through the whole track to complete the lap instead of going in circles and stuff.

4:24 this is pretty much the experience trying to use a unity "experimental feature" that got abandoned

[NotJpTem]

you're such an underrated youtuber

[absolutewisp]

n8dev really did good on the editing. Also, nice game you got there, it must've been hard to -download off the internet- make

[slobbymonk]

Ah yes, the act of trying to look cool in front of others, I can relate. When I go afk I always leave it on the most complex code I can find.

[DJLGND]

man this is kinda what I always wanted, I grew up with the wii but as soon as I discovered ragdolls in other games I didnt wanna play any game without them for a long time

[jakelake]

This is very awesome! I have watched some speedrunning breakdowns that explained how the track is laid out. In the video the track is set up with something like 40 checkpoints. These checkpoints are what is used to reset your character if you were to fall off the map. As you go around the track the game keeps score of what checkpoint you have past and what the checkpoint should be. Meaning you cant go from 1 and skip to 3. This guarantees that you have to go all the way around the track to get a lap. You could use this to ensure your AI is getting around each section of the track the most efficient.

either way, awesome video and I look forward to more content :)

[moondragon]

This is so cool ! I wonder how a project like that would look with more time and polish, it just cool be an awesome game. Anyway, great content, I really love the whole video

[remjob]

Honnestly peach driving with her legs up like that ? real butch energy, i love it

[VJrawr]

This is a really well edited video. Great content!

[LucaDev]

This is so cool! Good job!

EDIT: The fact that you unintentionally take damage when trying to mow down the AI is the best part🤣

4:52 one of my pet peeves with discord. You just go unnoticed and never recieve the help you need, very frustrating when that happens.
