There’s a little-known in-dev Carmageddon 2 build, called ‘Carmashit’, it is named after the .ZIP archive that contains it.
Within this build is a cheat executable from mid-development, this executable features all of the debug edit modes that were used when testing the game during dev, a lot of the functions are very similar to the C1 edit modes and there are also a lot of holdovers from C1 that are non-functional but this executable also has it’s own functions that are unique to it and do not appear in the C1 edit modes.
I’ve tried to go through and document the unique functions below:

Edit modes are always enabled with this executable and do not need cheat codes entered, the edit modes available are:
Accessories, Powerups, Special Volumes, Pedestrians, Drones, Opponents, Prat-Cam, Depth Effects, Damage, Crush Test, Options, Cheats

On June 20th 1997, Carmageddon was officially released! Today marks the 25th Anniversary of Carmageddon, so I’ve been holding onto some info to release as a celebration of 25 years of carnage; the original inspiration for Max Damage.
This information was provided to me by Mick O’Farrell of Red Cloud (now Revolver Creative,) prior to him telling me this information, nobody else knew about it.

In 1993, Clive Barker released the graphic novel ‘The Yattering and Jack’ with illustrations by John Bolton.

Flipping through the graphic novel, on page 51 you will find this specific illustration of Jack Polo in the novel:

This piece of artwork was the direct inspiration for Max Damage, you’ll notice where that sinister look came from when comparing this artwork of Jack Polo to the final artwork of Max Damage:

If you compare the Jack Polo artwork with the earlier Max Damage illustration then you can see his expression is even closer to that of Jack Polo:

It’s worth noting that the Max Damage artwork was originally a black and white drawing submitted to SCi for approval, Mick stated this black and white artwork was later adapted for the posters that SCi slapped up all over London to promote the release of C1.

This is the last major fact from Mick that I was holding out for this specific date, so now we all know the inspiration for one of gaming’s most sadistic characters. Interestingly the cover artwork of Max Damage for TDR2000 was also drawn by John Bolton, the very same John Bolton who drew the artwork for ‘The Yattering and Jack’ all those years ago.

Happy 25th Anniversary, Max!
~R.

Why keep you waiting?
Instead of cutting up what I have into separate archives for each game, why not just release the entire lot as-is? Good question, I’ll do that.

Here’s an archive of the entire artwork dump that I have for the Carmageddon artwork, this archive includes early art/promotional art/posters/screens/dev art/marketing documents for the following games: Carmageddon, Carmageddon Splat Pack, Carmageddon Max Pack, Carmageddon Special Edition, Carmageddon Consoles, Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now!, Carmageddon TDR2000, various unreleased SCi games and more little goodies.

Again, most of the older artwork and files require old software in order to use, such as: Old versions of Quark Xpress for Mac, old Microsoft Office applications and Macromedia Freehand, the latter of which will be provided alongside the archive. Some of the art can be opened in modern versions of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop but a lot will not open.
All files were created on old versions of MacOS, with Quark Xpress, Macromedia Freehand and Photoshop and this archive should still have all of the metadata for the Mac-specific stuff intact.

There are a lot of very interesting pieces of art in here that we were never meant to see, so have a dig around and see what you can find.
All of the content was provided to me by Mick from Revolver Creative, the team behind the original Carmageddon logo and all of the Max Damage artwork (back when they were known as Red Cloud)

Follow me on Twitter if you want to see a bunch of stuff from these archives as well as more early and in-dev content from Carmageddon and other games, I’ve recently spent a lot of time sharing early GTA1/2 content on Twitter: twitter.com/Razor792

Some samples from the archive:

The archive and Macromedia Freehand are below:
[Carma_AW_Dump_Complete.zip ~1.3gb]
[macromedia_freehandMX.zip ~26.9mb]

Here’s another artwork archive for you, this time for Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now!

This archive includes things like: Early Max Damage artwork for C2, promotional items, posters, etc.
Just like the other archives, a lot of these files require old software in order to open them, such as: Macromedia Freehand and Quark Xpress for Mac. A copy of Macromedia Freehand is available for download alongside the archive, it works to open a lot of the files. Adobe Illustrator should be able to open some files as well.

Some samples from the archive:

The archive and Macromedia Freehand are below:
