    This looks incredible! How long until the development is near completion?

    You've been warned, that this game is awesome :D

    Few weeks until finished.. I think it would help if I go back to coding and don't hang around TA forums ;)

    Glad you noticed! We've paid lots of attention to small details like smoke steaming out of the exhaust pipe and the changing driver posture. I think in a game like this it has to feel like he's driving a real bike - it makes it that much more dramatic when he crashes :)

    Probably the biggest effort went into the level editor which we used to create all the levels in the game. You can see it briefly in the beginning of the video. The editor will ship with the game so you can make your own creations and share them with everybody!

    We'll be demonstrating the editor sometime later in a video form so stay tuned :)

    Game looks incredible but i have to put my 2 cents in here, Did you guys ever play Joe Danger on ps3 on the PSN? cause it looks like you got some inspiration from that as it is pretty close to Joe Danger even has the coins and similar graphic styles + the humor.

    Im not knocking it it looks fantastic and is a day one purchase but i was just curious on this.

    I never played any ps game. I only bought xbox few months ago and was PC guy before :) But I definitely need to check the JOe Danger out if you think it's similar.. :)

    I played Joe danger on the psn it does look similar but I'm not sure how bike baron will play, Joe danger was more about speed and pulling wheelies to fill a boost bar. It was good but not amazing.

    I just noticed one question about Bike Baron flying around the net and it was asking wether the levels from level editor will be shareable.

    I'm happy to confirm that you will be able to share your levels with friends and everyone and play other people creations as well :) I think there would be no point in having such a great editor without the option to share your creations ;) I really can't wait to see the levels you guys will come up with, the possibilities are endless!

    Awesome! That will definitely be a reason to keep the game around on my iPod. :)

    The level in the video was really short. I hope that the difficulty ramp-up is good. I would really love twisted difficult levels.

    Controls look nice and smooth in the video. Not a single crash through the level!

    How many levels are you going to ship with? I hope the game sees the update love Death Rally is getting.

    One more thing... I hope the iPad GUI has a diagonal slider instead of horizontal. Horizontal's not very ergonomic on the iPad.

    And lastly... going by the video... the game itself looks super. Best of luck. But then, as you said, I am sure you guys really do not need the luck.

    Evolution of Bike Baron

    We thought this would be cool to throw in here, it shows the dramatic evolution of Bike Baron:

    [​IMG]

    There's a more refined UI in the latest screenshot and lots of other improvements (which are not very apparent from a still image).

    Vlado is in Finland at our offices crunching away at the remaining code and Mirko is putting finishing touches to the levels and it's all coming together really beautifully! Can't wait to show it to you guys :)

    PS. Homer Simpson character above was just a joke to entertain ourselves. He made the "D'oh!" sound while hitting objects :D It's not in the game but I hear Trololo might...
