Multiple ways are always a good idea, doesn‘t discourage new players, since they are able to finish, but also holds a challenge for the better players. (Maybe even add a god route, which is even harder than the pro)
A cool twist to this idea (to allow checkpoints) is to have several different tracks (3-4) that all go different ways and than regularly meet up at a common point before splitting off again. The idea being players test different routes to find the optimal path. Some paths might be slow but easy, others extremely difficult but much faster.
I think the difference in time should probably vary based on just how hard the pro line is, and how varied of a time the tracks create. Some tracks you make produce nearly identical times, some all over the place.
Noticed on the last runs that you could probably skip the last wall transfer on pro route, and instead jump straight on the boosters. Was dying to mostly landings, so never got a chance to drive it :D
I love the idea of the two "levels" of track, especially if they cross so that everyone can see each other, as well as have shared checkpoints. Hard to prevent cheeses, though.
for shared checkpoints, you could have them in the air at the intersection of two jumps or something so you can't just change direction from one route to the other while going through it
I like the dual track idea, I definitely think the pro side should be noticeably faster than the noob side. I mean it'll be 10× more challenging but in return you get better times. Otherwise it's unfair for veteran players that someone just out for a casual drive on the noob route get a similar time for basically not trying. If the two sides were close in times it wouldn't be fair to anyone and you might as well just make a track that's really easy.
I also really like the multiple route idea! Both giving everyone of all skill levels something to do and makes for fun designs. Watching the Pros fly over the Noobs on this one was very aesthetic. I agree with the others that the tracks should converge for the checkpoints. Maybe a good time difference would be about 3 seconds per checkpoint. So for example, if the checkpoints on this map were when the pros flew over and then under the track, they'd be about 3 seconds ahead by the over jump, 6 by the under jump, and 9-10 at the very end. That would let people see how much faster they're going by taking the new track, assuming they do the Noob one first.
I like this concept a lot. I'd say ideally having around 3 to 5 secs differential between the two tracks on normal runs, plus a couple of spots on the pro track were with some epic moves one could squeeze another sec, could do it for an epic run. The crossings reminded me of rally stadium special stages: very cool indeed 👍
I disagree with you because I think pro would go on noob route and optimize their runs there instead of going pro where optimization would be less significant. 10 seconds should be the least. The goal of having a noob route is to make it possible for an easy finish and the pro track should be of course harder and should be rewarding with significant chances for podium over the noob route. I would say between 20 and 10 seconds would be significant enough to make sure the noob route isn’t more rewarding.
Theoretically speaking, I don't see why they would since we'd still talking about a slower route. But I don't play the game, so I'm not aware of how much u can optimize a run in terms of lines precision and optimal speed. The main idea was to get let's say 1:10 for an optimized noob route, 1:08-09 for an unoptimized pro run, 1:05 for an optimized pro run, and 1:04-03 for a perfect pro run with a couple of high risks moves in. But again to say this on paper it's a thing, to get it done it's another.
@@TheMexOff i mean, it would work most of the time but with people like Warcans I feel like there might be a need for a bigger margin of error. Kan might be good but I don’t think he can optimize a route enough to get a real view of what someone like Warcans can achieve on a noob route.
I like the concept of multiple paths. To add checkpoints, you ought to have the paths intersect more often, and then someone can decide part way through to switch from one to the other.
once people get used to the pro route being 10-20 seconds faster, make the noob route faster but only if you drive it exactly right (this might be an idea for Dapper lol)
getting a good time on that noob rout would require near perfect driving at all times in both turns and landings, getting a good time on the pro rout mostly just requires knowing a set of tricks to preform since you are constantly being bumped back up to 200+ speed so if you were trying to make the track actually sorted by noob rout vs pro rout it would honestly make sense to cut just a bit of length from the "noob" side and make it so that a near-perfect run there beats a perfect run on "pro" ...for that matter getting through "pro" would serve respectably well as a training course so I guess just switch the signs while you're at it
In contrast to the difficulty differences, a track with multiple routes without similar finish times would be cool too. One path for practicing air rolls, a path for your signature elbow loops/speed control, a path focused on perecting turning line/need to maintain speed to make it, etc.... All similar difficulties but all similar times too. That would be a big undertaking though so I don't think it's reasonable, unless you guys can somehow tag-team and collaborate on making one large level
Really awesome track today! Love the aesthetics! I think having good routes can definitely appeal to a wider audience of players. Alternatively, and this is something I've seen in a few really good Trackmania tracks, you CAN design hard courses where the fastest times are going to require high skill lines or mechanics (maybe in zeepkist it would be air controls, breaking zones, or wall rides) but also having easier lines around those same features/turns/etc. It's hard to explain this without using an example, but I hope it makes sense. I like where you're headed Kan
Looking good. Future tracks could have multiple intersections(checkpoints) where the pro and the noobs cross each other. People could even mix and do parts sections pro and sections noob within 1 run. And maybe even set a faster time when taking 1 noob section instead of going pro all the way if a speed boost from the previous track is beneficial on the next section of the different route.
As a suggestion, you can always recombine the tracks and then branch them again for checkpoints, also a CYOA type thing. If one section is too hard, you can 'noob' it. The pro should only be a tiny bit faster, 10 seconds seems too much for the entire track, but beyond that it's a pretty nice kANcept.
So that's what the last 2/3 of the pro track looks like... lol I was on the noob route right behind you at the start. Was nice to get a time on the first run through. Thanks for the options!
For noob vs pro routes, what if there was points on either route you can take a risky switch, jumping off of an obstacle to the other route, or wall riding back. So a pro, noob, and a freestyle. with freestyling rewarding creativity with faster times.
Cool track Idea. You should get feitz to make conditional gates so that you can have a gate on both tracks and you have to hit one of them. Of course that will make Dapper come up with totally new cheeses.
A 10 sec advantage sounds very reasonable. It is not immediately obvious which one is bad and it's very much possible to be faster on noob-track, but in the end the reward for harder track is still there.
What could be a cool concept for this, is to have differently sized holes, and the smaller the hole, the shorter the path it takes you to. So high risk high reward kind of thing.
coming from a Trackmania background, I really like the idea of a pro/noob route! if you wanna save time building the maps, you might want to include a "risky finish" instead of building two completely different routes tho :)
I personally prefer the idea of just one track with many difficult shortcuts that you can take to shave off time. This would also solve your checkpoint problem
The 2 tracks should intertwine more. Like, they should remerge in places and then re-diverge as well as being able to see the racers in the other track most of the time. You could use colors or shapes or something to indicate at each split which is the noob and pro tracks.
Instead of having 2 completly separated track having them really interconnected . For exemple a jump where if you are too slow you have another path that penalise you and then send you back to the main track
This is a good idea. I think the two tracks and the gap in time is appropriate. If you can go just as fast on the noob track why would anyone do the pro track? It would basically be the same as just making easier tracks. You did a great job. Noob vs pro should be the theme for you guys.
Thanks KAn for super content. But I hate how these runs end. A suggestion to fiets: use the formula 110% rule. As long as you start before "the flag" you need to be within 110% of leader or validation. On each checkpoint (edit)
I like the time difference. You could set the bronze / silver times to alright / good runs on the “Noob” side, and set the gold / author to good / personal best times on the “Pro” side. Makes it fair for the people who want an easy run, and if they want a good time, they’ll have to do the pro side.
I think it should be timed so that a pro player taking all the lines on the noob route can compete with those who just about managed the pro route. So noob route + pro lines = pro route + noob lines
I saw some people taking that first Pro route jump and trying to get onto the Noob route with it. I wonder if that's how Zoman got their time? The Noob route is shorter and the jump off the Pro route would give you more speed than going pure Noob. As for the split track question, I definitely think you should do more. But that the times should be more similar to each other. Finding the best line on either side should get almost the same time.
3:09 Or you could do it like the Dapper's idea, make the pro track as in cheese route, so they can't tell if they are running the noob route or not, and they can blame is the RNG made them unable to run the cheese route...
3:54 There should be a difference as the difficulty is real here... Otherwise, what's the point of running the more challenging route if they give the same result..?
I think a single route that is easy to finish but hard to get a good time on is better. Using techniques like minimizing turning, minimizing air time, using smooth lines.
With the checkpoints, maybe see how dapper scales the checkpoints, or just make them really big to go over both tracks along the length till the finish
I like that the pro and noob times are clearly different. That way the people taking only the noob way can compare there times just with other noob times. It almost feels like two different leagues competing separately… but together. I think that’s Super cool 🤙
I'd say having a pro track be near impossible, and with a large difference in times. Then it is a risk reward situation. Kind of like dapper's two loops that had many take the inside of the first loop and fling toward the finish. You can get an awsome time, but only if you can pull it off.
I raced BMX in high school and some tracks had a pro section of the track. So just one of the straights of the track between two berms would split one was the regular track and one was the pro section. You could do something like that as opposed to essentially 2 separate tracks.
idea for how to add checkpoints: ask yannic to add the ability to customize how many of the checkpoints are required, so you could have 5 separate checkpoints for each track (for a total of 10 on the map) but you only need to hit 5 checkpoints to set a time.
You could make one where the two paths come together a couple times for a bit (good for checkpoints) before veering off again. Maybe even not say which is the noob and which is the pro choice for the split. But have there be one distinct route that is noob and one that is pro. It would be cool in mutiplayer to see other players during the merged section, but not know which way they went to get there.
the idea is pretty cool but it seems really time consuming since you said it yourself, you gotta make 2 tracks basically. just keep making hard tracks and people just needa get GOOD!
You can try to combine the easy and pro route in one, like, make the track and put small features that make it easily or put difficult to reach but reward 'turbos', like in the top of some wall ride or in a very small path in the middle of the grass or sand or trees, that need precision to reach and don't screw up. Also, things like the cuts of Super Mário Kart can serve as inspiration, with those jumps out of the track.
Maybe think about having multiple different segments that are noob or pro and are interconnected. Like for example have a faster pro segment that rides the side of the wall, whereas the noob route drives on top of it. This would give the track a lot of replayability, because you can mix and match different segments in attempts to create faster and faster routes.
make a track in 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours to see what you can make. Got the idea from Lionel Yu where he does the same concept but with writing music.
I think the pro track should definitely be faster than the noob track, but the difference should be small enough that if you do really good on the noob track you should be able to beat someone who does very poorly on the pro track. something like a 3 to 5 second difference. also, maybe have the tracks intersect at certain points, so that you can do a section of the noob track then go on the pro track for a little bit in order to gain a bit of time. that would motivate people to try out the pro track even if there is a particularly hard section they can't figure out how to do. (it should of course still be faster to never leave the pro track, tho that might be hard to balance.)
I like multiple options concepts but it would be cool if the two meshed occasionally so the drivers freak out when people fly by them randomly from a different direction
Slower easier tracks are a good idea imo, encourages people to take part without feeling overwhelmed. Also if you keep doing it, eventually everyone goes pro and you do one track where noob is actually faster with some cheese just to throw people off and make them try both
maybe it happened in the transfer to youtube but the end of the noob route is soooooo trippy I had a hard time watching it and if I drove it I'd probably die in the 'It's literally a straight line to the finish with no hazards bro!!!' section.
Definitely a good way to go about it, although I think making small shortcuts in an average track is a better way to do it, kinda like what dapper does with some of his tracks (they are tough, but mostly because you are trying to do cheese)
Love the idea of both tracks. Not sure if you were able to make it more along one line but if you do pro tricks (possibly shortcuts¿) You could get a bit faster times.
I think there could have been some shortcuts (jumps) on the noob track to bring the times closer (if you have the right speed to make the gap), as players would feel like they will get a good time.
You guys should do a theme of spinning and put in like a double helix horizontal wall ride so you can take either side to get there. Would be a really cool effect in photo mode
Yannic should add linked checkpoints, like in Trackmania, when you have 2 linked Checkpoints and go through one of them, it will count as both checkpoints
I honestly wonder if after the first corner on the pro track, if you could take that jump onto the noob track and that would allow you to hit more boosters and finish faster. Hmm, that might be one of the reasons for those stairs.
Multiple ways are always a good idea, doesn‘t discourage new players, since they are able to finish, but also holds a challenge for the better players. (Maybe even add a god route, which is even harder than the pro)
You mean the Warcans route lol
Pro route should be a short kacky track
Parmigiano - hard cheese
What I would do is create shortcuts that either require a specific speed or good car control. That way you don't have to create two track
That would imply kAN has to finish it
A cool twist to this idea (to allow checkpoints) is to have several different tracks (3-4) that all go different ways and than regularly meet up at a common point before splitting off again. The idea being players test different routes to find the optimal path. Some paths might be slow but easy, others extremely difficult but much faster.

Yeah I like that idea, if it's super hard then huge time save.

Its a neat concept, and I hope we see more tracks like this one!

8:05 love the subtle brag. warcans is not an easy player to beat, good job.
This was a great idea!! I like the time gap for the 2 tracks, around 10 sec works well. Can't wait to see more of these!!!
I really like the time difference, makes people feel rewarded for trying the harder route.
Yeah, that’s good and I feel like it must be rewarding for a noob to finish the track even going the noob route.
once people get used to the pro route being 10-20 seconds faster, make the noob route faster but only if you drive it exactly right (this might be an idea for Dapper lol)
I was gonna say to put hidden cheeses on the noob route
getting a good time on that noob rout would require near perfect driving at all times in both turns and landings, getting a good time on the pro rout mostly just requires knowing a set of tricks to preform since you are constantly being bumped back up to 200+ speed so if you were trying to make the track actually sorted by noob rout vs pro rout it would honestly make sense to cut just a bit of length from the "noob" side and make it so that a near-perfect run there beats a perfect run on "pro"

Very cool idea to make 2 tracks in 1 map, love it! And beautifully made, my favorite this week 🤘
Great idea, beautifully executed. All over too soon, I'm immediately watching a second time.
So that's what the last 2/3 of the pro track looks like... lol
I was on the noob route right behind you at the start. Was nice to get a time on the first run through. Thanks for the options!
This is a cool and interesting idea! I like your entire introduction line of thinking. Noob track easier & slower is perfect.
Genius map design having the two tracks visible from each other. The best example has to be the large ramp
For noob vs pro routes, what if there was points on either route you can take a risky switch, jumping off of an obstacle to the other route, or wall riding back.
So a pro, noob, and a freestyle. with freestyling rewarding creativity with faster times.
Cool track Idea. You should get feitz to make conditional gates so that you can have a gate on both tracks and you have to hit one of them. Of course that will make Dapper come up with totally new cheeses.
Linked checkpoints like Trackmania has would be great.
This is super cool idea - I like the two routes being more different, particularly if the difficulty gap is large.
"don't think you can make it up that ramp. there's a booster" I got the emendate image of a booster seat.
Love the idea of more of these.
A 10 sec advantage sounds very reasonable. It is not immediately obvious which one is bad and it's very much possible to be faster on noob-track, but in the end the reward for harder track is still there.
Always glad to hear someone mention Hadrian's wall!
What could be a cool concept for this, is to have differently sized holes, and the smaller the hole, the shorter the path it takes you to. So high risk high reward kind of thing.
I kind of like this concept. It's like bringing back the noobvpro series, but now in zeepkist. Don't work too hard, but great job on this one.
coming from a Trackmania background, I really like the idea of a pro/noob route! if you wanna save time building the maps, you might want to include a "risky finish" instead of building two completely different routes tho :)

love the noob and pro track concept, :D
Cool track man, love the big jumps ;)
The 2 tracks should intertwine more. Like, they should remerge in places and then re-diverge as well as being able to see the racers in the other track most of the time. You could use colors or shapes or something to indicate at each split which is the noob and pro tracks.

So noob route + pro lines = pro route + noob lines
That’s a super well-made track! Looks great, drives great! Just great!
I love how ZOMAN had the slowest "pro" time right up until 13:10
😄
I saw some people taking that first Pro route jump and trying to get onto the Noob route with it. I wonder if that's how Zoman got their time? The Noob route is shorter and the jump off the Pro route would give you more speed than going pure Noob.
As for the split track question, I definitely think you should do more. But that the times should be more similar to each other. Finding the best line on either side should get almost the same time.

Otherwise, what's the point of running the more challenging route if they give the same result..?
Noob vs Pro is still one of my favorite series you and Kan (and later Dapper) did!
I enjoyed looking at the driving angles during the 'pro track tour'.
I think a single route that is easy to finish but hard to get a good time on is better. Using techniques like minimizing turning, minimizing air time, using smooth lines.
@2:40 This wall will help use repel the Khan and his raiders. Wait, he just jumped the wall.
With the checkpoints, maybe see how dapper scales the checkpoints, or just make them really big to go over both tracks along the length till the finish
on 6:32 the right wall texture seems stationary, he's going exactly the right speed
Had so much fun playing this!
Multi choice is a great idea.
I like that the pro and noob times are clearly different. That way the people taking only the noob way can compare there times just with other noob times. It almost feels like two different leagues competing separately… but together. I think that’s Super cool 🤙
Really cool track and flow and great noob v pro concept.
I'd say having a pro track be near impossible, and with a large difference in times. Then it is a risk reward situation. Kind of like dapper's two loops that had many take the inside of the first loop and fling toward the finish. You can get an awsome time, but only if you can pull it off.

This is a great idea, and would be a perfect, non-cheese way to use giant/scaled-up check points
Huge time gap is great, gives an incentive to try the pro track
My favourite track design of yours so far.
If you keep the pro track/noob track thing up, at some point you gotta pull a full 180 on everyone and make the noob track just that much faster xD
You could make one where the two paths come together a couple times for a bit (good for checkpoints) before veering off again. Maybe even not say which is the noob and which is the pro choice for the split. But have there be one distinct route that is noob and one that is pro. It would be cool in mutiplayer to see other players during the merged section, but not know which way they went to get there.
the idea is pretty cool but it seems really time consuming since you said it yourself, you gotta make 2 tracks basically. just keep making hard tracks and people just needa get GOOD!

Also, things like the cuts of Super Mário Kart can serve as inspiration, with those jumps out of the track.
I would love to see a whole theme around noob vs pro, so we can see everyone's take on it
Maybe think about having multiple different segments that are noob or pro and are interconnected. Like for example have a faster pro segment that rides the side of the wall, whereas the noob route drives on top of it.
This would give the track a lot of replayability, because you can mix and match different segments in attempts to create faster and faster routes.
make a track in 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours to see what you can make. Got the idea from Lionel Yu where he does the same concept but with writing music.
You can build a more cohesive experience by putting difficult and easy ways to get around individual obstacles, while only having one major route.
I fully agree that the more difficult routes should offer greater time saves.
Really cool idea. I'm just enjoying the content.
I bet that took a lot longer, but it's a really cool idea and the track was awesome.
I think this is a great idea- but the pro routes should always reward those who can complete them
You really knocked it out of the park with both of your tracks this week. Really enjoyed the flow on this one.

Greetings to "the Red Builder". Love too so Moonbo Stream Enjoyers in your videos
I think the pro track should definitely be faster than the noob track, but the difference should be small enough that if you do really good on the noob track you should be able to beat someone who does very poorly on the pro track.
something like a 3 to 5 second difference.
also, maybe have the tracks intersect at certain points, so that you can do a section of the noob track then go on the pro track for a little bit in order to gain a bit of time.
that would motivate people to try out the pro track even if there is a particularly hard section they can't figure out how to do. (it should of course still be faster to never leave the pro track, tho that might be hard to balance.)
next theme could be ¨Noob vs Pro¨, that would be fun
I love the concept of Noob v Pro...definitely think that Pro should be faster than Noob by default.
I like multiple options concepts but it would be cool if the two meshed occasionally so the drivers freak out when people fly by them randomly from a different direction
Slower easier tracks are a good idea imo, encourages people to take part without feeling overwhelmed. Also if you keep doing it, eventually everyone goes pro and you do one track where noob is actually faster with some cheese just to throw people off and make them try both
The pro track really make me think of games mountain bikes tracks like in descender. Awesome track
I really love this idea! Please make more
maybe make the 2 lanes meet several times during the track with signs so people can mix and match to see who can get the faster line.
maybe it happened in the transfer to youtube but the end of the noob route is soooooo trippy I had a hard time watching it and if I drove it I'd probably die in the 'It's literally a straight line to the finish with no hazards bro!!!' section.
Pretty good idea, now well placed checkpoints need to be made. ;)
Nice concept, I like it :)
Definitely a good way to go about it, although I think making small shortcuts in an average track is a better way to do it, kinda like what dapper does with some of his tracks (they are tough, but mostly because you are trying to do cheese)
Love the idea of both tracks.
Not sure if you were able to make it more along one line but if you do pro tricks (possibly shortcuts¿) You could get a bit faster times.
15:00
Somebody was seconds away from finishing when the round ended.
I think there could have been some shortcuts (jumps) on the noob track to bring the times closer (if you have the right speed to make the gap), as players would feel like they will get a good time.
You guys should do a theme of spinning and put in like a double helix horizontal wall ride so you can take either side to get there. Would be a really cool effect in photo mode
The time gap makes sense, it'll make it more rewarding for better playing.
Yannic should add linked checkpoints, like in Trackmania, when you have 2 linked Checkpoints and go through one of them, it will count as both checkpoints
I like the pro/noob concept, though I think the times should be closer, still with an advantage for the pro track though
I honestly wonder if after the first corner on the pro track, if you could take that jump onto the noob track and that would allow you to hit more boosters and finish faster. Hmm, that might be one of the reasons for those stairs.
Awesome! love the idea.
I think it'd be great if you made a track with multiple paths that discover different parts of the map but take around the same time
