Hey folks,

I think the some of you know us, but for the people who don’t we’ll give you a little description about SF.
SF was founded almost 6 years ago and started as a little noob clan. Now we are one of the largest clans in Tmnf with a great team and many known builders .
So after 6 years its about time we made ourself a little competition.

The contest.

There are 2 competitions.
Trackbuilding and graphics. Scroll down for the graphics part.

Trackbuilding :
It’s pretty simple. You built a FS track which is dedicated to SF. You have to upload the track on Tmx and post a link at our forum ( http://www.speedfreakz.eu ). You have to put [SF] in front of track. So for example: [SF]speedtrack.

Rules :
- The track has to be Fullspeed
- Blockmix is allowed, but don’t overdo it.
- Duo tracks are allowed, but the prize is shared.
- Ingame the track needs the tag $f00[SF] and on TMX [SF]
- You must use the SF signs several times in your track on a spot where you can see them. You can use either the already existing signs or the signs made in the sign competition.
- Track must be at least 35 seconds long. 40-45 sec is preferred.
- You may only make 2 tracks.

Coppers.
We will give 110.000 coppers away. The 5 best tracks will be awarded with coppers and the SF crew will be the judges.

The 1st gets 35.000 coppers.
The 2nd gets 20.000 coppers.
The 3rd gets 15.000 coppers.
The 4th gets 10.000 coppers
The 5th till 10th gets 5.000 coppers

Signs :
This is the little extra to the competition.
This is for the designers ! We want more SF signs we can use in our tracks. So we will be selecting 10 winning signs witch will each be worth 2.500 coppers !
Total 25.000 coppers !
Example for signs : http://forum.speedfreakz.eu/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=350
Size : 512 x256
These signs can be used by the authors of the trackbuilding competition !
You can make as many signs as you want.

TM's 6th Birtday : Interview with Florent

(TStarGermany)

15 Dec

2009

Today we celebrate Trackmania's 6th birthday Award

The TManiacs team had a short interview with Florent of Nadeo.

Which aspect(s) do you put down to the big success of Trackmania?

It is a simple game where the fun, the tracks, is made by players. The free version is also a good innovation to reach more people.

Do you think, Trackmania United Forever will really be "forever", so that a 10th birthday can still be celebrated by a large number of players?

It is really "forever" but maybe our understanding is different in it's meaning. What I wish, is that the 10th birthday of TM can still be celebrated by a large number of current players! But I hope that the players will be on the next TrackMania in four years or I need to tell the team that it is quite useless to work at the moment.

Most players don't know anything of Nadeo except for you and Alinoa. Tell me something about your Team! How many developers are you at the moment? How many litres coffee do you consume each year? Do you have a little photograph for us? Naughty

The team is quite the same since the release of the first TrackMania. Some additionnal members also came in recently, so it is difficult to get a complete picture. Our goal is to keep our efficiency instead of growing bigger. We work less than some years ago when it was difficult for the company, but everybody works really well and with a positive spirit. I think we dring less than 561 litres per year, for 13 people. We are trying to keep a good daily pace and a good decade pace. I think the team is stronger than ever.

Your last "new" game was Virtual Skipper 5 in 2007. You presented the big Forever-Updates in 2008, what was a great present to the community, but nothing big in 2009. Can we expect some really new stuff for 2010?

We call our next step, Nadeo 2, or 10 if you think binary ^_^ So, let's say that there will be really cool stuff for the next decade. 2000-2009 was quite cool, but we want to multiply this for 2010-2019. I hope it is precise enough for a release date.

You have got at least 3 big projects at the moment (Trackmania 2, Shootmania, Questmania). Which one has got your highest priority and gets most of your ressources at the moment?

At the moment, it is in this order: TM, SM and QM. However, we have spent more time on SM and QM over the last two years than on TM.

When can we expect new material in form of screenshots, videos, or facts to any of these games?

There is little to be seen at the moment for many reasons. The main reason is that we need to answer 15610 questions at the same time and if only one answer change, it can affect too much the big picture, or the screenshots. And we want to feel free to make any decision, because even when we say only a date, it is difficult to change.

To close the circle of the interview: Which aspect(s) of Trackmania 2 will result in the Racing-Game of the Year and make the success even bigger than before?

The Game Of The Year is often based on the impact it had during the year. Our focus is less on one year than on a long term. So, it is difficult to make a game of the year when you want to make it for a decade. The success will probably come from other ways. TrackMania is big by letting the players be at the center of it. If there was an award that would be more easy to see around, it would be Community Of The Year ^_^ Hands down, woooohoooooo....

TManiacs: Thank you for taking the time answering our questions! We wish you a great birthday party!
