Mad Skills Motocross

[TobbeA]

Hey.

I've been lurking for a while, and now I am finally ready to announce my upcoming game: Mad Skills Motocross

Check out the pre-pre-alpha trailer at http://turborilla.com/

Take care.

EDIT: Exclusive video for the fun-motion crowd: http://turborilla.com/fun-motion-extras.html

UPDATE: All new Developer diary. Read about the development of Mad Skills Motocross.

U should make it controlled like ski stunt extreme, that would be interesting. Otherwise it looks pretty cool, some two player action would be nice too, powerups, ect. But simple is good too. Any playable version yet? i kinda like the graphix as they are. Simple, classic, makes it seem like exite bike. Which is good. Well GL with that

[Muntu]

Wow, looking good. Can't wait for playable demo. Just to mention, the ragdoll weirdly stops after a few seconds, like there would be a invisible wall.

[Maltor124]

This game looks like it will be THE physics motorcycle game. It looks so, so, SO incredibly good, that I am going to buy it....uh.....that's all I can say...but it looks REALLY good.

On another note, that is one of the best looking sites on your eyes I have ever seen! If you actually designed that site, you should become a web designer, not a game developer! (Make this game, first, though! )

Also, Muntu. It's gravel and dirt. I'm pretty sure it's friction, but it could just be a glitch in the physics at this point.

[TobbeA]

Thanks, guys.

It IS actually controlled like ski stunt... + left mouse button for throttle, right mouse button for brakes.

Yes, it is gravel. Which has a pretty high friction constant at low speeds, and a lower at high speeds... I think it looks just right when he stops like that

When it is finished there will be four bikes in each race, you and three AI:s.

EDIT: The website was not designed by me, I bought a template and the only thing changed is the header.

[Beakless]

Hmm, I'm very excited about this... Just tree things about the ragdoll that I think you could make better:

1. You should stop the ragdoll stopping after a few seconds of crashing.
2. You could increase the friction so that the ragdoll flips more (would look good with your choise of view)
3. Make the bike able to collide with the ragdoll instead of just rolling through it ..

Do these, and for me, a legend is born.

[Relys]

That looks so awesome! and there's *gasp* shadows!

Keep up the great work!

[Sokuto]

Wow, this game looks amazingly good. I can't wait for it!

10/10 for physics integration
I've seen and played most motocross games like this one but judging by the trailer, yours might just come out on top.

It looks like you've gotten the gameplay and physics sorted out, you just need to work on the levels/maps and scenery.

[jojojomon]

huummubbbuuuhbbuummmgggmhh... *says this while drooling on keyboard.*

[d'arjwood]

Damn! Well, there goes my game, down the hole....

Sweet game. i've liked every motocross physics game like Ragdoll Trials and ElMa, but this looks the best, and the most realistic. Can't wait for the demo.

[SataMaxx]

Looks really good, I like the shadows, and the dust behind the motocross. I'm satisfied with the ragdoll, it acts realisticly, don't change anything ! (perhaps collision between the bike and the ragdoll...)
You say you need an artist, but for now I don't see what's wrong with the graphics... just add a mesh to the bike and the ragdoll and everything should be fine.
Good luck in finishing/releasing this one !

[ericman666]

This looks amazing!
the ragdoll is fine, i think.

can't wait to see it finished

True, you should do those changes. And and... MULTIPLAYER *droooolllsss*
PLEEEASEEE upload that pre alpha to us

Just bung on a menu (and the fun-motion logo) and you're laughing

Haha.....?
Hmm... I still think the ragdoll stops too suddenly, even if the ground was gravel

[Dj Demetrius]

W..oo...aa...h.....This looks so awasome! Can't wait! Can't wait! CAN'T WAIT!
my goodness, this is gonna rock so much in multiplayer!

Need....playable....version....now.....

[Jokker]

Hmm.

Awesome.

PhysicsCite Bike?

Seriously, I think Excite Bike with ragdoll, and proper physics is the best idea since....Toribash even. I really need to think of good ideas sooner. -_-

Good going, will be waiting to see your releases.

[TobbeA]

Holy nice comments, Batman!

Thank you all. Your suggestions are really good, and most welcome. Keep 'em coming. I knew I did the right thing by announcing it at these forums first

And yes, Excite Bike was a big inspiration for this.

For your kindness and good suggestions, one extra trailer exclusive to this forum:

God. I need this game. When it comes out you SO have my buy!

[Jokker]

Oh crud. I need a job outside my country. Like ..reviewer, but nothing sure for now.

When I get a job, I'll sure as hell buy this. :D It's awesome.Multi-player would be complete 'pwnage'.

[STEVIE G]

Looking good Tobbea!

[mikybee93]

yesss! Ski stunt extreme conrolls, that will be fun. BTW i like the person and the bkike as they look now, just fancy up the ground, and the background and that would be fine for me. Not sure about everybody else, thanx for the second vid =p

Now breakless I know your a respected person on this forum so Ill go easy, I just have one thing about this post

You want him to stop the ragdoll stopping (i gues you dont want it to stop so quickly and keep gliding a little longer? (Allways use your best grammar)
But you also want him to INCREASE the friction so it would bump more...

Those are the EXACT opposite, dont think you were really awake when you wrote it, or I just missunderstand you

I completly agree though about the bike collision
