Starlit Sky Games new motorcycle racer-fighter

by Tom Ogburn · 10/22/2009 (3:15 pm) · 14 comments

Starlit Sky Games is currently working on a motorcycle racing-fighting game similar to Road Rash. The problem: we need a good name. You can see a picture of the game concept at http://www.starlitskygames.com/photos/motorcycle/picture203.aspx.
The game is being built with TorqueX and is currently expected to ship Winter or Spring 2010.

I am definitely going to be following this one! Road Rash was one of the best games back in the day.

My vote is for The Roadwarriors.

Anyway ... good luck guys, I will be following this with interest. :)

I've noticed a lot of interest in gaming communities lately for a new Road Rash or Road Rash-like game. A pre-viz video of a cancelled Road Rash got leaked a week or two ago and that seems to have stoked the fires for a game like this.

Gerald: I still have it, a Sega Genesis, and a notepad full of codes in my closet. Yes, I have the really old school one.

Scott: I've been working on it a while. I was excited when I saw that video, then when I heard it was cancelled I figured it was time to show my hand and let all the other fans know we will get one somehow.

Keep all the name ideas coming guys. There's some decent ones in there.

Very cool, I can't wait to try it out! I definitely like Mich's suggestions - maybe even blend them into "Motor-Psycho" - so when you say it, it sounds like motorcycle. ;)

How about "Rikers' Bikers"?

A group of motorcycling ex-convicts from Rikers Island compete in a tournament... or a tournament at Rikers Island consisting of ex-convicts that will fight for their freedom, a la "Death Race."

There were a lot of good suggestions. Many were so good that they are already taken by other (mostly flash) games. ;)
Out of the remaining ones, I floated a couple at my local GameStop and 'Motor Psycho' had the highest enthusiasm so that's what I'm going with for now. Thanks John. I'll add your name to the credits and make sure you get a free copy when it comes out.

Thanks,
Tom
