Watching Ren and Etho struggle to think of the word for a guy living on his own away from other people... just one lone villager... a dude by himself...living alone... the lone ice villager... If only there was a word they used all the time to describe such a person.
Good Ol' Rendog. "I got a massive build plan and story board all planned out.. Oh hey someone needs help I'll devote a large amount of time and effort to make others happy." Never change Ren you are an amazing human and are always worth my time.
You could make a whole winter resort with how big the place is. Skating rink, ski lift, race track, lodgings. But, that’s probably moving away from the original goal…
Imagine, on the ice course, having baby polar bears roaming around in one part of the road, and a lot of adults ones a bit further away, so if you pick up the babies by accident you get attacked by the adults
Hi Ren :) The Cristmas gift was the gift to Pixlriffs from Ijevin :) You need the green and red wool to info the players to follow the right way in that ice boat race. You need to have the green wool to your right, and the red to your left. The same rules as on the sea, when you'r entering a habour or a canal. :) ( i can tell you as a formerly employed in the Danish merchant navy back in the early 80' ). :)
Hi @rendog; I think this boat race idea is epic. But there is something that could revolutionise it. You see in Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, the route for each city track is slightly different each lap. I understand that Speedy Pines 2 will be one huge track of one lap but it can be even more exiting if each time the course is played, T- junctions in the course could revert between right and left to take you down a different route each time. Hope this is an awesome comment !!! Also, if this comment is so good and you want to use it in the race, please put my comment in the video for a shoutout !
@Felix Irgendson i like that idea a lot. Not everything has to be a throwback. And oh yearh, i live in a small country neighboring Germany, so we have some localised names for places in Germany, and that threw me a off bit. But you're 100% correct, its Nürburg ring. Thanks. 😊👍
@Annie R since it's an ice surface, how about Nürburg-Rink? Granted, that doesn't incorporate the Speedy Pines reference. (Also, Nürburg is not to be confused with Nürnberg/Nuremberg)
With Beef collecting the mini blocks, I think he might actually squeal with delight when presented and just throw decks and boosters at him 😂 I also like other commenters ideas or sharing the wealth as well. Zed is covered, Cubfan made an amazing minigame for him to collect a deepslate emerald ore. I can't wait for his episode!
Cleo and Beef would take the miniblocks at a definitely as they are collecting them maybe grian would as he is looking for super rare blocks but grian has a proper deepslate emerald ore
You can do "multiple courses" just like many actual circuit do, where you can have certain loops opening and allow you to do different variations. You can even make a "hunt" the check points map where people need to find the right trail.
I also was thinking along similar lines. Maybe because of the Christmas present maze but I was thinking the boat course could be a type of maze as well. I was also thinking that each section (A, B, C, and D) of the course could have a “token” that needs to be found before moving on to the next section.
I can feel the pain of Etho looking for something that he once found in Minecraft. That is one of the hardest things to do in Minecraft, especially if you failed to leave any markers along the way. Since the last update I haven't installed "Journey Maps" and have been hopelessly lost without it.
@truelinor not really, the JourneyMap mod itself is made to be used with Forge which can only be run for Java iirc but maybe there are something similar to it for Bedrock
I feel like Ren just gifted us 9 minutes of extra hangout time with Etho. That's how much time was between the title and when Ren said "Hi Etho" loved the whole thing. Much appreciated, Rendog!
*Ren building GigaLogs:* I want to make a minecart ride going through all the biomes we harvest trees from. *Ren now:* Forget logs, make it with _ice!_
This rare, uncut footage of you and Etho just brainstorming together makes for an awesome video! I haven't had such an experience since Cub & Scar worked together getting the "Mattress Store Matador" ravager in a tree. 😊 Now is the time for Etho to make an ice farm and Ren to start making the maps. You can both use the existing portals in the area and probably will have to make some of your own. (Then there's the whole updating the Nether Hub, too!) This could possibly be the first true "Giga-build" that doesn't require even a "mega-build" amount of resources. Finally, Beef will probably be willing to buy the mini-blocks from you. He sells them in his TCG store.
Agreed, there’s not enough of this these days, everyone seems to try and get too much done in an episode with Timelapses and stuff. I used to enjoy listening to the thought processes and choices made over huge progression
I just need to see a compilation of folks racing to get blocks for the trader, especially the deepslate emerald. Beef might be willing to buy them for a fair price; he’s got a miniblocks collection going.
You guys should recruit False! She made a smaller boat race track around her base for the charity livestream and she could help with this massive track.
Hah! I guessed Speedy Pines 2 on Etho’s episode before this came out. Loved the episode, Ren! How can you not love 35 minutes of you and Etho?! Thank you for the gift of unedited…ness. I noticed you tried to make a scene change/start of scene with Etho after you both were messing around at the campsite and talking about Canada. I love behind the scenes stuff like that. The mega Christmas giftbox contains a super cool over the top but absolutely deserved gift from Jevin to Pixlriffs for Secret Santa. It’s actually cool that you both came across it as more people should explore the maze. Jevin deserves all the kudos for that!
*@rendog* 23:10 The area is big enough for several track, with diferent chalenge levels. (this specific biome is hard level) Don't build too much, so it's easier to change up the tracks, maybe just add floating "checkpoints", like 2 sticks, that look green from the correct direction & looks red from the wrong direction? *Sticks:* 2x1, eg 5 high? floating eg. 2 blocks over the ground, so they don't impede the movements of the race. (or a horizontal bar hovering over the track, easier to see)
Mapping the ice boat area would be nice, it could not only help you draw the course but you could also display it at the start to give racers an overview of the course. You could also put renamed banners at certain interesting point ( like the aquatic temple) and add them to the map to help you design the course
Can't wait for the new boat race to be completed. I had a cool thought, Watching you and etho map it out. After the boat course is finished, it would be awesome to have an elytra course through the icy spikes & a foot race with the speedy highway for a mega triathlon.
With regards to what to do with the emerald mini blocks, Vintage beef tried and failed to get that mini block for his collection recently and would probably trade many TCG tokens for one of them.
It always warms my heart to see you with Etho. I've been around since the early days when you were a fan of his. You are actually the way I found him. :)
Rendog has some GOOD video talent. Have Rendog planning, Its entertaining. Have Etho AND Rendog, its the best content you'll see. But rly, good content!
I’m super excited for a super long massive ice track, especially coming from both you and Etho! I’m already imagining playing it on the world download and the first block hasn’t even been placed 😂 Congrats on the deepslate emerald ore! I watched part of the stream but never got to see that and was left so unsatisfied lol
I think it’d be really cool to place “checkpoints” you have to go through, but the route is free, that way hermits racing can develop their own routes, hopefully going different directions at the same time (like around that island, some people doing it clockwise and others counter clockwise)
I love this. I think it’d be really cool for the track to go past the love villager house, especially with the lava nearby, and then through a mysterious ice cave that connects it back to the river
"How do I get home?" I died from laughter at that. I'd wondered that earlier and just figured you already knew how...then you asked that and it was just *chef's kiss* perfect comedic timing.
I'm so excited for this project. Have you guys thought about instead of making one gigantic track, make a series of courses, like a Mario Kart circuit? Then the hermits can choose to either race a single track or you can have full tournaments. So one open lake track, one rivers and mountain track, one cave track, one ocean track with the polar bears and open water traps. (So driving your boat into the water will be like falling of the track in Mario Kart) The hermits might use the tracks more often if they don't feel obligated to commit to one gigantic track.
Helping others, getting happily distracted and just has fun. Love the things Ren does. I can’t wait to see what Ren and Etho comes up with for the race. “Go big or go home.” Etho. “BIGGER IS BETTER!!!” Also Etho.
I think this project will be much bigger than a simple race course. You'll need to pad out the landscape or even skies with stuff like villages, giant birds, etc. to make the course look interesting. Might be too big for just the two of you.
Love the giant ice boat race track idea! Feeling like it's time to bust out good ol' amidst to lay out the course 🤓 yet another awesome project this season!
Like I said last week, you could decorate gigacorp island with mangrove roots for dead bushes and tree leaves. Use acacia wood or basalt for petrified tree trunks even. Figured I’d leave it on a more recent video. I loved the etho collab and the emerald distractions ren! Keep up the great work!
Honestly I've been trying Ice Boating lately with friends and it's so fun, I can't imagine this race track with every hermit racing at the same time through it and having someone like Pixlriffs or InTheLittleWood do commentary for a livestream
Yo Ren, great episode as always, you can even create custom textures for the boats (like mario karts for example), you can also add and a small training track!
The dead end with the lone villager hut made me internally scream "secret!" As in, it should be a secret/bonus area, not part of the main course but a bit you could get lost on but if you do, you'd maybe be able to pick up a bonus item there to make up for lost time.
Loved this! I feel like collabs like this are one of the biggest differentiators for the Hermitcrafters that really set them apart from the other Minecraft content that's out there. They all have such good rapport with each other, and their ability to play off each others' personalities makes for really fun content. Watching friends make something cool together is what makes Hermitcraft special for me.
One cool thing you can do with the different areas is have sections you can block off (maybe with flying machines or something if you wanna get really fancy), so like section A can either be the start of the whole prix or it can be its own course
This is epic! I'm so excited about this build, I love when project from past seasons are brought back, it's fun to see the new twist Hermits put on it and see what updates have come out since then to add fun features. I also love the Ren Etho combo, the shenanigans and storylines that happens! This will be epic!!
Very excited for this project. I like the dynamic Etho and Ren have when working together and Ren seems very excited. Can’t wait to see how it’ll turn out :)
Always great to see collabs that dig into game design. Here's hoping you guys have fun with the track! I worked a bit on a racing game a few years ago, and it's a lot of fun to plan out sight lines, flow, shortcuts and such.
Looking forward to this collab! You two are gonna slam this outta the park~ I just hope you guys have to time to get it done before the season ends. Etho has that curse and all, poor guy. Need for MOAR SPEEED!
That ice track will be so cool! Call me selfish but now I can't wait for them to be done with the track, and be done with the season, so I can download the map and ride the track.
I'm glad Etho went to Ren to build the Track if he went to BDubs then the game would never be done by the end of the season 😂 Joking aside I'm beyond excited for this Artificial Ice Races are always very tiny this is going to be Bonknanas
There are many things I will be watching for. One I’m looking forward to is seeing you and “EthoSlab’s” progress on the track then watching the races. Hopefully you will be inviting the “Emperors” to race with you. At the moment I am watching for any and all POVs of the Hermitcraft TCG. I play Pokémon TCG with my kids, niece and nephew. So the Hermitcraft TCG has been one of many highlights of season 9. I kinda want Season 9 to go on forever it’s been so much fun following all the Hermits.
You guys could make a really big course and section it off into multiple smaller circuits - so if you want, you can do the shorter quicker race, or else some sort of barriers go down or something and connects multiple circuits together and you can do the epic finale
*@Rendog* 3:05 SAVE THIS PLACE'S COORDINATES. Light it up & set up an elytra speed-flying course, no obstacles, just get through the cave system (longest route possible) as fast as possible. :D (Make a competition (with some reward), entry fee for the competition is X amount of diamonds. Unlimited amount of tries) (but tactically wait until after the TCG hype dies down first)
Need for speed: There is a large city with multiple interconnecting roads, but for an individual race, they put up a few barriers with arrows to present a curated race in a subset of the city. I think that format would fit perfectly for this race track. Make a ton of really long interconnected roads, but take small sections for races throughout the season (and as you're building the rest), and then at the end of the season, make a track that has ALL THE ROADS!
Guys, this project will be awesome in all the right ways! But you'll need a ton of manpower, and I mean, like a TON-A-LOT. Also, check the Christmas track the Empires people built for a minigame if you can. Cheers!
For the ice tracks, since it’s very large u can make each section have their own race to the next one and the finish line. That way hermits can choose whether they want to race a section or the entire track.
so idea for the track: pop up walls. they might have to be down by two blocks so a boat can go over them easily (might need to test). this way you can a.) work on the track in sections and b.) customize the track if desired. add in some similar walls around that aren't solid and boom! there's the layout of the track
@bsidethebox i was thinking a bit more manual maintance but it's really up to them how they want to do it. I don't think getting doc into the mix would be a good idea. Doc, Etho...yeah...they're in an anvil war atm.
If you're planning on timing runs on the course, place a chunk loader at the start/end adjacent to the timer. Otherwise the racers will likely move too far away to keep the timing dropper within simulation distance. Totally looking forward to what you an Etho come up with.❤
I really enjoyed this episode!! The slowed down and in depth chat about the course was really relaxing to watch. I don’t normally comment but I love this style of video and your personality shines through with it ren❤
Watching Ren and Etho struggle to think of the word for a guy living on his own away from other people... just one lone villager... a dude by himself...living alone... the lone ice villager... If only there was a word they used all the time to describe such a person.
Hmm… this is a real head-scratcher…
It's on the tip of my tongue, but what was it...?
Starts with an H...
...ends with MIT...
Uhhh. Lone village guy. Genius.
@Zocking Troller was going for a misdirect. Thought it would go unnoticed by those that hadn’t figured it out
@Mepholar you ruined it!
We made sure not to say the word😢
"Don't look at me, man, I was in Canada when all this happened." Ren... my dude... so was Etho! 😄
Ha! Brilliant!
Grian in the last episode said that he's searching for the rarest things! Surely you can arrange something mischievous :-D
thats a good idea!
I'm a simple man I see etho and I click
Respectfully... Ethogirl.
I say that with the highest level of respect.
Man am I hyped for this whole boat race. I loved the whole chunk of episodes on speedy pines way back in season 6. Man I feel old.
same
True. Thats click bait i can get behind
Real
Good Ol' Rendog. "I got a massive build plan and story board all planned out.. Oh hey someone needs help I'll devote a large amount of time and effort to make others happy."
Never change Ren you are an amazing human and are always worth my time.
Bless him
So true! Bless him
Love how between the ice race track and the dolphin highway, Ethos entire goal this season is "GOTTA GO FAST"
You could make a whole winter resort with how big the place is. Skating rink, ski lift, race track, lodgings. But, that’s probably moving away from the original goal…
Love the idea of a skating rink, for the hermits to practice as they line up at the start line.
Shenanigans will most definitely be a foot. 😂
Well, Christmas 2023 is only 11 months away. I mean, they could get a head start on the festivities. 🙄
Distractions on distractions on distractions... :P
Imagine, on the ice course, having baby polar bears roaming around in one part of the road, and a lot of adults ones a bit further away, so if you pick up the babies by accident you get attacked by the adults
@Shery Ali I'm pretty sure that's happened at some point knowing this server
Cub-napping
Hi Ren :) The Cristmas gift was the gift to Pixlriffs from Ijevin :)
You need the green and red wool to info the players to follow the right way in that ice boat race. You need to have the green wool to your right, and the red to your left. The same rules as on the sea, when you'r entering a habour or a canal. :) ( i can tell you as a formerly employed in the Danish merchant navy back in the early 80' ). :)
@Felix Irgendson Yes, a good advice too. :)
Also, after long straightaways, you'd need large billboards with arrows on them to let players know from a distance where the track is gonna go next.
Distractions are what we do best around here, am I right Cyberdogs?! :D >.< RD
Hi @rendog; I think this boat race idea is epic. But there is something that could revolutionise it. You see in Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, the route for each city track is slightly different each lap. I understand that Speedy Pines 2 will be one huge track of one lap but it can be even more exiting if each time the course is played, T- junctions in the course could revert between right and left to take you down a different route each time. Hope this is an awesome comment !!!
Also, if this comment is so good and you want to use it in the race, please put my comment in the video for a shoutout !
@Felix Irgendson i like that idea a lot. Not everything has to be a throwback. And oh yearh, i live in a small country neighboring Germany, so we have some localised names for places in Germany, and that threw me a off bit. But you're 100% correct, its Nürburg ring. Thanks. 😊👍
All projects I've ever started are just distractions from other projects I put off working on … so I couldn't agree more!
@Annie R since it's an ice surface, how about Nürburg-Rink? Granted, that doesn't incorporate the Speedy Pines reference.
(Also, Nürburg is not to be confused with Nürnberg/Nuremberg)
Too right Ren. And I've been watching them shenanigans for 11 years now. You're da man Ren.
I was wondering what could be more distracting than TCG and...yeah the emerald sidequest and Etho are definitely top tier distractions.
i’m sure vintage beef might be willing to do some trades for the deep slate emerald blocks
@f s Hermitcraft Bidding War!
With Beef collecting the mini blocks, I think he might actually squeal with delight when presented and just throw decks and boosters at him 😂
I also like other commenters ideas or sharing the wealth as well.
Zed is covered, Cubfan made an amazing minigame for him to collect a deepslate emerald ore. I can't wait for his episode!
I believe Pearl is also collecting mini blocks...
Beef is definitely going to want to trade them. you could get some free card packs!
Cleo and Beef would take the miniblocks at a definitely as they are collecting them maybe grian would as he is looking for super rare blocks but grian has a proper deepslate emerald ore
I see Etho is trying to get around the season ending curse by building with Ren instead of Bdubs.
I'm really enjoying the casual chat and brainstorming with Etho in this episode!
You can do "multiple courses" just like many actual circuit do, where you can have certain loops opening and allow you to do different variations. You can even make a "hunt" the check points map where people need to find the right trail.

@truelinor not really, the JourneyMap mod itself is made to be used with Forge which can only be run for Java iirc
but maybe there are something similar to it for Bedrock
@TheCocaineSamurai Thanks! Mods aren’t on Bedrock, are they?
@truelinor it's a mod, gives you a little map of the world, auto maps what you have explored and what not. Very handy.
What is Journey Maps?
I feel like Ren just gifted us 9 minutes of extra hangout time with Etho. That's how much time was between the title and when Ren said "Hi Etho" loved the whole thing. Much appreciated, Rendog!
*Ren building GigaLogs:* I want to make a minecart ride going through all the biomes we harvest trees from.
*Ren now:* Forget logs, make it with _ice!_
Rendog never disappoints us
Rendog and etho . A combo we needed
Beef may be interested in those mini emerald ores
This rare, uncut footage of you and Etho just brainstorming together makes for an awesome video! I haven't had such an experience since Cub & Scar worked together getting the "Mattress Store Matador" ravager in a tree. 😊
Now is the time for Etho to make an ice farm and Ren to start making the maps. You can both use the existing portals in the area and probably will have to make some of your own.

Finally, Beef will probably be willing to buy the mini-blocks from you. He sells them in his TCG store.
Zedaph's last missing ore block was the deepslate emerald one, you could give him a mini-version just to rub it in :D
This was such a delightful and relaxing episode, I loved the long unedited section of you hanging out and brainstorming with Etho! ☺️
Agreed, there’s not enough of this these days, everyone seems to try and get too much done in an episode with Timelapses and stuff. I used to enjoy listening to the thought processes and choices made over huge progression
Rendog and Etho working on an ice race together???? I smell some amazing SHENANIGANS in the making! 😂😊😂
I just need to see a compilation of folks racing to get blocks for the trader, especially the deepslate emerald. Beef might be willing to buy them for a fair price; he’s got a miniblocks collection going.
By fair price perchance they could be bonus tokens
You guys should recruit False! She made a smaller boat race track around her base for the charity livestream and she could help with this massive track.
This region seems like a great place to have the race _not_ be a short, multiple lap race.
I love watching Ren set the camp up XD Etho was so funny
I’m so excited to see the big boat race build Ren and Etho 😀.
Hah! I guessed Speedy Pines 2 on Etho’s episode before this came out.
Loved the episode, Ren! How can you not love 35 minutes of you and Etho?! Thank you for the gift of unedited…ness. I noticed you tried to make a scene change/start of scene with Etho after you both were messing around at the campsite and talking about Canada. I love behind the scenes stuff like that.
The mega Christmas giftbox contains a super cool over the top but absolutely deserved gift from Jevin to Pixlriffs for Secret Santa.
It’s actually cool that you both came across it as more people should explore the maze. Jevin deserves all the kudos for that!
*@rendog*
23:10 The area is big enough for several track, with diferent chalenge levels. (this specific biome is hard level)
Don't build too much, so it's easier to change up the tracks, maybe just add floating "checkpoints", like 2 sticks, that look green from the correct direction & looks red from the wrong direction?

The nostalgia I felt seeing Speedy Pines after all these years, dang... this new raceway is gonna be SWEET! Great work as always, my guy! :D
Mapping the ice boat area would be nice, it could not only help you draw the course but you could also display it at the start to give racers an overview of the course. You could also put renamed banners at certain interesting point ( like the aquatic temple) and add them to the map to help you design the course
I flippin' LOVED the original Speedy Pines. I can't wait for you and Etho to create a heck of an experience!
OMG Ren and Etho together 🔥
And it's probably going to be one of the best Mini Games ever created on Hermitcraft 🔥
If they make the course REALLY BIG, they'll need some next level redstone timers to clock lap times.
Can't wait for the new boat race to be completed. I had a cool thought, Watching you and etho map it out. After the boat course is finished, it would be awesome to have an elytra course through the icy spikes & a foot race with the speedy highway for a mega triathlon.
With regards to what to do with the emerald mini blocks, Vintage beef tried and failed to get that mini block for his collection recently and would probably trade many TCG tokens for one of them.
I hope y'all get this track done before Spring. You could call it the "Winter Final Lap" 😉
Just move up north. In real tundra it takes quite a while for snow to melt, so they still have a few months time😉
It always warms my heart to see you with Etho. I've been around since the early days when you were a fan of his. You are actually the way I found him. :)
Rendog has some GOOD video talent. Have Rendog planning, Its entertaining. Have Etho AND Rendog, its the best content you'll see. But rly, good content!
Saw Etho in the title, and as a casual Etho enjoyer, I have been summoned
I'm excited to see this project being built! Boat races are so much fun :D
I loved the chill vibes of this episode :) Can't wait to see what you come up with the ice course :D
I’m super excited for a super long massive ice track, especially coming from both you and Etho! I’m already imagining playing it on the world download and the first block hasn’t even been placed 😂
Congrats on the deepslate emerald ore! I watched part of the stream but never got to see that and was left so unsatisfied lol
I think it’d be really cool to place “checkpoints” you have to go through, but the route is free, that way hermits racing can develop their own routes, hopefully going different directions at the same time (like around that island, some people doing it clockwise and others counter clockwise)
They can make a Mega racecourse and the areas A,B,C,D... can be racecourses of their own so that hermits can do a standard race or a mini race .
Going to bed with phone in my hands, listening to the lovely sound of Ren's voice like it's a bedtime story... so wonderful!
(:3」∠)
You know its a Great project when it starts making other people want to boot up a World, JUST to try & make Their Own ice-race
That track is going to be crazy. Your own Nurburgring! I can't wait to see what the two of you come up with.
Hurmurtring...?
I love this. I think it’d be really cool for the track to go past the love villager house, especially with the lava nearby, and then through a mysterious ice cave that connects it back to the river
"How do I get home?" I died from laughter at that. I'd wondered that earlier and just figured you already knew how...then you asked that and it was just *chef's kiss* perfect comedic timing.
I absolutely love this new style of editing! Keep it up!
I can’t wait to see the course when it’s done :D

I think this project will be much bigger than a simple race course. You'll need to pad out the landscape or even skies with stuff like villages, giant birds, etc. to make the course look interesting. Might be too big for just the two of you.
Love the giant ice boat race track idea! Feeling like it's time to bust out good ol' amidst to lay out the course 🤓 yet another awesome project this season!
Like I said last week, you could decorate gigacorp island with mangrove roots for dead bushes and tree leaves. Use acacia wood or basalt for petrified tree trunks even. Figured I’d leave it on a more recent video.
I loved the etho collab and the emerald distractions ren! Keep up the great work!
Honestly I've been trying Ice Boating lately with friends and it's so fun, I can't imagine this race track with every hermit racing at the same time through it and having someone like Pixlriffs or InTheLittleWood do commentary for a livestream
getting Etho to race around that hill was brilliant! this already looks like so much fun
Yo Ren, great episode as always, you can even create custom textures for the boats (like mario karts for example), you can also add and a small training track!
The boat project looks incredible, I hope you have the time and energy to make it happen
I'm enjoying these regular pace uploads! Its more fun to hear your voice often then waiting weeks for each upload
Oooohhh, this is so exciting. I hope this season turn into Season Ninefinity!
Good chance 'cause nobody wants to left behind their hermit cards ... ;--)
So this course need it's own TCG Arena, too!
Finding deepslate emerald ore is such a pain, i have been trying to collect every block and it's near impossible to find. Respect the grind!!
You should have beef display it in a “glass case” in his shop like he did the rare hermit cards.
The dead end with the lone villager hut made me internally scream "secret!" As in, it should be a secret/bonus area, not part of the main course but a bit you could get lost on but if you do, you'd maybe be able to pick up a bonus item there to make up for lost time.

I don’t think I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying Ren Etho hang out time. You guys are a great pair and vibe…enjoyed the heck out of this ep!
so excited to see you play the tgc!!! :D
This is epic! I'm so excited about this build, I love when project from past seasons are brought back, it's fun to see the new twist Hermits put on it and see what updates have come out since then to add fun features. I also love the Ren Etho combo, the shenanigans and storylines that happens! This will be epic!!
Since it’s so big and has so many branching paths, if you have the time you could make multiple really big tracks and make a whole tournament!
i stopped doing school work for that Ren dog grind. We must protect the Canadian yep yep
Very excited for this project. I like the dynamic Etho and Ren have when working together and Ren seems very excited. Can’t wait to see how it’ll turn out :)
Always great to see collabs that dig into game design. Here's hoping you guys have fun with the track! I worked a bit on a racing game a few years ago, and it's a lot of fun to plan out sight lines, flow, shortcuts and such.
Can't wait to see what happens this episode 💪
This is going to be such an awesome project with such an amazing result.
Looking forward to this collab! You two are gonna slam this outta the park~ I just hope you guys have to time to get it done before the season ends. Etho has that curse and all, poor guy. Need for MOAR SPEEED!
GG on the Deepslate Emerald!!! Bummer we missed it on stream.
I love how we are like a year almost into this season and the hermits are not slowing down
That ice track will be so cool! Call me selfish but now I can't wait for them to be done with the track, and be done with the season, so I can download the map and ride the track.
I'm glad Etho went to Ren to build the Track if he went to BDubs then the game would never be done by the end of the season 😂
Joking aside I'm beyond excited for this Artificial Ice Races are always very tiny this is going to be Bonknanas
There are many things I will be watching for. One I’m looking forward to is seeing you and “EthoSlab’s” progress on the track then watching the races. Hopefully you will be inviting the “Emperors” to race with you. At the moment I am watching for any and all POVs of the Hermitcraft TCG. I play Pokémon TCG with my kids, niece and nephew. So the Hermitcraft TCG has been one of many highlights of season 9. I kinda want Season 9 to go on forever it’s been so much fun following all the Hermits.
Ice boat racing is so much fun! Cant wait to see what craziness you guys make
You guys could make a really big course and section it off into multiple smaller circuits - so if you want, you can do the shorter quicker race, or else some sort of barriers go down or something and connects multiple circuits together and you can do the epic finale
this'll be a boat-road of fun!
I swear Ren’s videos never fail to make me smile
*@Rendog*
3:05 SAVE THIS PLACE'S COORDINATES.
Light it up & set up an elytra speed-flying course, no obstacles, just get through the cave system (longest route possible) as fast as possible. :D
(Make a competition (with some reward), entry fee for the competition is X amount of diamonds. Unlimited amount of tries) (but tactically wait until after the TCG hype dies down first)
Need for speed: There is a large city with multiple interconnecting roads, but for an individual race, they put up a few barriers with arrows to present a curated race in a subset of the city. I think that format would fit perfectly for this race track. Make a ton of really long interconnected roads, but take small sections for races throughout the season (and as you're building the rest), and then at the end of the season, make a track that has ALL THE ROADS!
Guys, this project will be awesome in all the right ways! But you'll need a ton of manpower, and I mean, like a TON-A-LOT. Also, check the Christmas track the Empires people built for a minigame if you can. Cheers!
This gigantic boat race is going to be so cool!
Ren is a really good story teller
For the ice tracks, since it’s very large u can make each section have their own race to the next one and the finish line. That way hermits can choose whether they want to race a section or the entire track.
so idea for the track: pop up walls. they might have to be down by two blocks so a boat can go over them easily (might need to test). this way you can a.) work on the track in sections and b.) customize the track if desired. add in some similar walls around that aren't solid and boom! there's the layout of the track
@bsidethebox i'll brb
@bsidethebox hmmm.... where's the popcorn
@Selas Iovec lol Manual would be simpler for sure. But consider the alternative...
*~*~Anvils On Ice~*~*
@bsidethebox i was thinking a bit more manual maintance but it's really up to them how they want to do it. I don't think getting doc into the mix would be a good idea. Doc, Etho...yeah...they're in an anvil war atm.
If you're planning on timing runs on the course, place a chunk loader at the start/end adjacent to the timer. Otherwise the racers will likely move too far away to keep the timing dropper within simulation distance. Totally looking forward to what you an Etho come up with.❤
I really enjoyed this episode!! The slowed down and in depth chat about the course was really relaxing to watch. I don’t normally comment but I love this style of video and your personality shines through with it ren❤
I can't wait for this to become reality
