Slipstream
Any guides on how to turn sprites into playable cars?
hi, i'm good at digital drawing but know nothing about programming, i'd like to make 2 mods for slipstream in the future, but first i'd like to know how hard would it be to put the sprites into the game.

The first mod i have planned would be recreating my dad's old car, a Datsun 200L, i think it would fit the style of the game:

And the second mod of course would be our lord and savior:

Also, if ansdor reads this, how hard would it be to open a workshop page on steam? like, do you have to pay a fee to keep it open? is it a ton of paperwork? just asking, i can always upload mods to gamebanana and advetise them in steam's artwork section

Let me preface this by saying that I do not have an answer, however I would like it to be known that I have been wondering about similar things since I got this game.
I think a workshop page where people could post their own cars and tracks and maybe even rivals would be really interesting and fun. I hope that maybe if this discussion gets more attention and ansdor does end up reading it, they may considerlooking into it.

I did some research! The game isn't supposed to be moddable, but people have done it before and posted videos.

Apparently it's really 'easy' to just swap the sprites of pre-existing cars (if you know how to remove the built in algorithm that blocks mods, which I don't). All you'd need to do is have the appropriate sprite sheets and insert them into the assets file where the old ones should be located.
Unfortunately, like I mentioned before... I don't know how to do this. The authors of those two videos linked above are the only instances I've seen of someone doing this, and therefore I believe they're the only people who know how to do this, so it'd be best to try and ask them about it. If you find out, I'd really like to know what to do as I also am trying to reskin the game a bit here and there.
That truck no, and the car no fact.

There needs to be rally cars, Subaru, honda, toyota ect.

The game is already in perfect state as it is. It doesn't need mods. . .
