Hi folks,
Here’s some info on our crowd-funded and crowd-developed project, Road Rebel, if you’d like to share it with your community:
Road Rebel is a real battle of the bands — a crowd developed, open source, online car combat game with badass vehicles custom designed for rock legends like Rob Zombie, Mot??rhead, Pussy Riot, and more. Each has their own car loaded with an arsenal of band-inspired pyrotechnic weapons. Blast their music tracks while you blast your friends online in epic rock-themed battle arenas, competing in the ultimate destruction derby.
My team and I knew that no publisher in their right mind would let us do what we wanted with our game Road Rebel. Like: Release it on GNU/Linux first? Run a live “crowd development” effort and bring in gamers as decision makers and designers? Releasing all the source to the game — while we are building it? And include uncensored music from our favorite bands, like Rob Zombie and Pussy Riot? Hell no.
That’s why we took this project to to the players. By supporting the project, backers can become game developers and directly influence the outcome of the project.
What else is cool? With it’s unique tech, Road Rebel uses procedural generation techniques to drives blur effects, weather, rate of weapons fire, timing of missile to hit targets, even terrain warping and time distortion. It is a a psychedelic heavy metal rock opera on wheels.
And we’ve created outrageous rock-and-roll style rewards like partying with the Texas Roller Derby Girls, shooting machine guns, and crushing cars with real armored tanks.
