I’ve always been a big fan of racing games like Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing and I wanted to create a track that took place within a Japanese castle complex. In 2023, I took a trip to Japan and went to many gardens and got to explore Himeji Castle. This environment takes some inspiration from what I saw on my trip. Most of the textures I gathered from The Models Resource but a couple I made myself. The environment was designed by me (with the exception of the pagoda).
