    In general it's almost done, but few thing still need polishing and we need to make sure they're perfect :) I'm very confident this will be finished in August at the latest.. and I'm the main programmer so I should know :p

    Cool thanks. I was just wondering if we would have to wait weeks or months. Cant wait to play this one any actual screen shots of gameplay to show yet or is it to early :)

    The game looks even better in motion. It's all physics based procedural animation so there's lots of subtle stuff going on like the Baron adjusting his posture depending on how fast he drives etc.

    My head often needs polishing after long session of level construction. Lucky for me and you, I'm faster builder than "real" construction workers :cool:

    I think it'd be nice if you replaced one of the games in the thread title with Aqua Globs. I was never much of a Death Rally or Minigore fan, but I love AG!

    I think only moderators can change the thread name. I'm glad you like Aqua Globs! :) And I'm sure you will like Bike Baron as well! We aimed for very broad audience with this game. So casual or hardcore players will both be able to have fun with the game, and I have real life proof of that :) Often happens to me that I get "lost" in the game for hours and I consider myself hardcore gamer, but my wife which barely plays any games spent many hours playing it as well. It even kept one 7 years old hyper boy entertained for almost an hour! ;) Can't wait to share more with you later on..

    After a hard day of driving it's good to relax for a bit:

    awwwwwright.

    Looks great. Can we expect serious cross-over action here? Is Egoraptor on call for some voiceover work? : D

    Glad you like it guys :) Looks like Timo choose only the nice positions, but I guess the rest would be for a different book than Yoga :D
