This makes me want to make a map called "rat race"; the connotations are too awesome.

I doubt it'd be as awesome as this, though.

Looking forward to the next release.

WHALERACE ALPHA 4A RELEASED!!
Finally.

This version contains a fully functional second stage with an awesomesauce ending. I'm not going to explain anything, just play the map to find out yourself.
Here's some info about the new stage:
When the special race-whales escape from the racing area [Stage One], they beach at the shores of an island [Stage Two], controlled by both BLU and RED. They both see no reason to stop the competition, so they go on with the races, until...

Pictures?

Changes?

Plenty of stuff was been added since last release - a3b. Most importantly, the new stage, and also the extension of the first stage. Carts now go slower as well and there's a special ending. Brighter water, more lights, and much more!

Coming soon?

Stage three. Where will it be? Who will you find there? What will the setting be like? You'll see it all in the next version of plr_whalerace!! - Coming this holiday season.

For now, have fun with a4a!

The whales need to cross over at some point so that either team can actually defend/attack the enemy Whale. IE where you have those windows in the middle of what i presume is stage 2. Which would be nice a place to put a sentry ambush as the enemy whale swims past.

Oh.

Oh my.

YES

I was sort of expecting, say, a alien spaceship to come over and beam up the whale at the end of stage two, but that was way better.

I really want to see where it's going to go with stage three now. :woot:
