***IMPORTANT MESSAGE***
One more thing... please read the last bit of my message down here, it's important.

If we want my Monster Truck Madness 3 fan-game to become a reality, please help motivate me by subscribing to a future Patreon tier that I will release soon.

And here's how to help motivate me.
1; Join my waitlist by filling out your response from this Google FORM I made. I have a small story about what I am going through lately and why it matters.
https://forms.gle/qxSBH4SkEg1NAWM16
2; Wait until I reach my goal so I can have enough people to join it.
3; Once the tier on my Patreon is released, then subscribe to it.

I do let's plays, so I play A LOT of games, ESPECIALLY MTM2. ;)
As a content creator, my Youtube channel (named "TVOLOW") is half let's plays, half other hobbies.
Youtube channel is linked in the Google FORM.
There is a lot of videos of me playing games, MTM1 and especially MTM2 included, so if you want, feel free to watch them before you decide to join my waitlist for Patreon to help motivate me.

If you have any questions to why I need people on Patreon right now, just send a private message on MTMG titled "Patreon?" and I'll talk about it with you there, even via Discord.

***THAT'S... EVERYTHING***
OK, so let's talk about MTM3 in here! So what you think?

I hope everyone loves this, I worked VERY HARD on this one.

And I also really REALLY hope this can bring more life into MTMG, this is one of my favorite sites for MTM addons for the games of all times.

This is my love letter to MTM games, Microsoft, TRI, and to the fans of MTM that are addon makers who made MTM1 and especially MTM2 even better.

It's my way of saying thanks to Microsoft and TRI for giving us MTM1 and MTM2, and to the fans that are addon makers of those games to create awesome memories for me with their addons, now it's my turn to give y'all something great in return. ^^

One more thing... just to show y'all that I am very, VERY SERIOUS about making this game... here's a picture of my WIP for these trucks I did so far! Some completed, some partially completed.

https://www.deviantart.com/stash/01jv1siwpe5b

I have scratch made the models for Bigfoot 15 (1995) myself with it's wheels, tube chassis, and the fiberglass body... then I took that fiberglass body I have made to create OTHER trucks from to add/remove/modifiy duplicates to do that.

Also, I admit that I had to borrow textures for Cale's HD trucks just to see how they would look before replace them with my own.
Sorry about that Cale, I hope you don't mind I had to borrow them for a moment unless you're OK with it. ^^;
Now I do promise to give credit to everybody for both kinds, 1; those who helps me, and 2; those that are OK with me using stuff from them as long credits are given.

Don't be afraid to ask questions or give input, I am listening.
Remember, be constructive, not destructive when giving me important critique so I can make adjustments so I can perfect the game eventually.
This is going to be MORE than just my game... it will soon be OUR GAME. ;)

Making a video-game is like solving every piece to a puzzle, once you know how every piece (it can be any task, coding, models, art, etc) should be, you'll be able to put the entire puzzle (game) all together.

I hope to make the best MTM game... wish me luck everyone, and let's talk about it!

It's alright, you didn't had to do that, you could've said another thing in it's place lol. XD

Anyway, I had so much fun making MTM3's first beta build, it took trial and error to figure out how I wanted to get it all right, but hey, so far it turned out pretty decent and I am actually proud of this more than my other games I made beta builds for.
Yes I always wanted to make video-games by the way, I have been exploring that hobby FOR YEARS.

So far you're the first one who wants to play test it.

And I hope to see even more people wanting to play test the first beta build too as well so you can all report back to me what adjustments are needed and all that.

So here's some stuff I want to mention at the moment.

1; Semi-realistic damage system. I always wanted to be able to tear off fiberglass parts of the monster truck when you crash it, I mean what they did in MTM2 is funny and all, but what if instead of crushing the truck's body, instead we can tear off truck's fiberglass parts in MTM3? I always envisioned that to be the next logical step. And yes, I want to break off wheels too! Just fiberglass and wheels to break off, that's as far as I'll go.

2; Truck names and builds. Instead of just selecting trucks from a list... what if the truck selection system is like this? You select a truck name you want, then you can select that truck's list of builds... like if it's Bigfoot you selected for example, from that name's list of trucks what if you wanted Bigfoot 15 (1995) or Bigfoot Xbox depending on what you want?

and 3; More customizable weather. I always wanted Time and Weather to be their own thing, which is why I separated them. Try Dusk and Rain. ;)

There's so much to talk about.

***CONCERNS***
Hmm.
There is SOME concern on my mind about doing the game though.

So far only user did said while they definitely appreciate my love for the MTM series, but they had to point out these two things to me...

1; I was recommended to probably change the name of the game before I get hate from the fans.

and 2; What if Microsoft still wanted to make it?

Those does bring up a very interesting concern for this unique situation if a fan-game like this were to exist that I am doing which may or may not be a challenge.

So to everyone who never seen this thread before, if you're just looking into this thread for the first time and now you're at the bottom of this page as reading, please don't hate right away and be civil about it, keep reading this, here's what I want to say about all of this...

***MY THOUGHTS***
I understand people may fear MTM3 may not be anything like MTM1/MTM2 if it's not the same... like what if it's too different you may be wondering?

You have to remember, IT IS a fan-game, and NOT official, because Microsoft and TRI are not behind this.

I mean really, let's be honest and real here... does Microsoft want to make MTM3 from an abandonware series?
My gut is telling me no I don't think they care to be honest.... didn't this happen to them because either Microsoft/TRI couldn't get the license of any truck and/or Bob Chandler and Bill Gates couldn't work out a deal or something?

My goal is to make MTM3 just like MTM1/MTM2 because it's a love letter to Microsoft/TRI and also to fans that are addon makers of MTM1/MTM2... that's all I am trying to do, it's a tribute.
I am not trying to cause confusion and hatred from anyone for any reason, it's far from that.

I mean I just made a beta build, my first one, of the game I always dreamed of having because come on, who doesn't want an MTM3? I can't be the only one who wants this game to become a reality rather it's official or not.
Heck I'll even gladly take it if it was a fan-game if someone else were making it, even if they're having this same problem of concerns given to them by anyone's input like that.

***QUESTION***
So here's the big concerning question I should be asking right now...

Do all of you want me to keep calling this fan-game Monster Truck Madness 3... OR... do you want me to call it something else?

In other words...

A) Keep the name
B) Change the name

So, if I see enough people giving me input telling me to KEEP the name... then I will keep the name.
But, if I see enough people giving me input telling me to CHANGE the name... then I will change the name for y'all's sake and respect that.

***BOTTOM LINE***
In the end, all I am doing is wanting to make a game come true despite it's fan-made.
I mean, isn't that better than nothing at all?

Anyway, we can keep talking about this.
Remember to stay civil everyone, be honest with me... give me a simple "YES keep the name" or "NO change the name" and any additional input that's constructive. I am listening to everybody's input as it's very important cause I just want everyone happy, myself including, and have no heartache or headache to deal with, we are all talking about this after all.

YES, keep the name.

As long as Microsoft nor TRI won't be able to take your fan-game down.
