Not that anyone cares, but I probably won't be able to submit a track in time. It took me a while to come up with an idea, and neither Inkscape nor the SVG to PNG converter wanted to cooperate with me. I'll probably release it on my own time in the future, but if I rush it, it just won't have the same quality suitable for a contest like this. Good luck to everyone who is competing.
For those wondering what my plan was...
For those wondering what my plan was...
It was gonna be called Donut Drive, and was gonna be a roadtrip kinda course themed around, you guessed it, donuts. For some reason, some of the donuts made it through the converter, while two others were missed. (It might've had something to do with the mesh gradients I used for them)

But what if there's something wrong when playing it, and you can't fix it?

idk which version you're talking about so
as for the QM version, just put up with it. you cant change anything about your QM tracks (e.g. walls, offroad, checkpoints and holes (except for decor))
but as for the CM version, just find issues in the track and fix them (so like adjust a checkpoint, fix a hole's respawn point etc)

The reason why QM isn't allowed, and hasn't been in every other previous official TBC, is that pretty much everything is done for you. A contest is supposed to test your ability to design and create a track, which isn't shown at all in QM. You'd probably end up with a 0 in every category if QM were to be used (eg you can't get above 0 for collisions or visual if you haven't actually programmed or drawn anything respectively), and since it pretty much has no chance against CM tracks it was just removed altogether.
Hopefully you figure out the problems to your track, the help section in the editor is pretty useful so definitely check that out.

You know what? I'm quitting the contest. Making a CM Track is too much to handle right now, and I think it's better to lay it off.

Ngl, I feel this could do with a deadline extension, since it seems like there's quite a few people that want to participate, but don't have enough time to do so

Given that most people want one, I'll extend the deadline by a week, the due date is now the 28th of Jan. Hopefully this gives people enough time without rushing, and for those who've already finished to polish off their tracks or even create another submission.
