ADDITIONAL NOTE:
ENTRIES ARE TO BE MADE IN STABLE RELEASE!!
I think Iâve read through this now about 5 times and Iâm still struggling to grasp exactly what is to be expected of the entries here. I understand certain elements should be up for debate, such as what sort of car would be right, engine choices etc. because that shouldnât be completely obvious. But I have literally no idea where to start.
My understanding is that this is an âalternate universeâ situation where a 2020 car is basically a late-1970s car, but there is this repeated mention that it also has to be modern. A lot of these âexample ideasâ are basically old styling on a modern body. How is that supposed to be achieved when weâre locked to pre-1980s bodies, using lighting technology of the era and a very strict brief on how the designs must be done in order to give it that look. If everything is locked to 1980, essentially youâre getting a car from 1980. So how is it to be expected to be modern but 1980?
My other serious question is engineering. Given this is some weird âalternate universeâ in which cars are modern but backdated in styling and engineering, are we going for a pure 1980 approach for engineering, or is it expected that perhaps certain elements would be possibly a bit obscure or unrealistic for a âreal-worldâ 1980s car since weâre also expecting modern elements? How do you deem what is realistic for this âalternate universe in 2020 which is kinda like here in 1980â when we donât live in said universe. The last thing Iâd want is to be binned for doing something that âdoesnât seem realistic in engineeringâ if ultimately we have zero true grasp on what realistic in this worldâs 2020 really is.
Also emissions are expected to below a noise level below 40? Is it emissions or noise? Please clarify.
WellâŚ
the idea was that modern design principles are applied to an 80s body, but without the LED strips and Laser beam projectors and allâŚ
Engineering wise, youâd be making a 1980 car.
Emissions are meant to be noise levels, i worded that wrongâŚ
Given the immense difficulty of understanding or my apparent incompetence in clear and âdumbfuck-proofâ wording, imma call it quits right here and pass the torch to CSR 128s 3rd place contestantâŚ
Since entries havenât even opened yet, i see less of an issue in this rather than have people build stuff and THEN cancel operations.
EDIT:
the ONLY way i see this working is make it into a generic 80s car round, which i personally do not wantâŚ
Seems like iâm not fit for creative stuff (as in: make good CSR premises) anywayâŚ
@Jaimz is about 38 mins early
In short:
CSR 129 will not happen with me as host.
Please refer to CSR 128s 3rd place for the next runner-up.
Quite right. It was just too confusing for me to consider entering anyway.
Hiya! Responding to this, I might be able to say fuck it and take on hosting for the next CSR if @Xepy decides not to. However, I will only be able to under one condition, and that is, to make the CSR a very brief round.
What I want will be simple, thatâll be my promise. The round, if I take over, will have a much shorter submission deadline and a ruleset that will hopefully allow for some openness in entries regardless of a tight deadline.
Reviews will be concise to a certain degree, but I will still do my best to give it some flavour and keep it somewhat detailed.
If my words are set in stone and I am not to be hosting the next CSR because of it, so be it. If xepy does not decide to host, then I just may be able to take over.
Some food for thought!
Edit: Xepy says he can host. Yay! More time for my personal challenge which you might see stuff on in the next two weeks
This one is very weird. If it was something like 2020âs engineering and drivetrain on an 80âs body, maybe with some sort of retro theme, it could be understood somewhat easily. But this whole alternate universe stuff threw everybody for a loop and it wasnât explained well.
I know itâs all over now but just putting in my 2 cents.
