If they can pull this off, it will be glorious. They're even planning to release the source code.

I'd like to bump this thread to gain attention for this game. Since the OP has been gone for a week and I don't know if I should make a new thread or not, I'll just make an detailed OP here.

[U][B]Road Redemption? What's that?[/B][/U]

Road Redemption is a brand new, indie-developed bike racing game that takes great inpsiration from the classic [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Rash][I]Road Rash[/I] franchise.[/url] Fight other bikers with your legs, weapons, and even guns as you race to the goal. Remember, you're not the only one playing dirty. Get creative!

The game is being developed on the Unity 4 engine.

You will play missions that focus entirely on racing and Road Rash style combat, all while following a full-fledged story!

Mission types:

[B]Combat Race[/B]: This is your typical mission. Compete with rival bikers for rewards, such as a broken down armored car, full of hard currency. Either get there first or be the last alive.

[B]Police Escape[/B]: An army of police cars, bikes, and choppers are on your tail. Lead your fellow club members to safety. No reason not to cause some damage along the way. A well-timed lead pipe to the face will take a cop off his bike. Similarly, a well-placed round from a grenade launcher disables a police vehicle pretty effectively.

[B]Assassin[/B]: You’ve managed to whittle a rival motorcycle club down to a few members. Now it’s your job to chase down their leader through a crowded city. Of course, his last remaining lieutenants are going to make that as hard as possible for you.

[B]Convoy Assault[/B]: You got word that a convoy of 18-wheelers is passing through your territory. If you can defeat the vehicle's heavily-armed escort, the bounty is yours. A shotgun blast to an 18 wheeler’s tire tends to slow it down.

[B]Escape from Enemy Territory[/B]: A planned exchange on the roof of a skyscraper has gone awry, and now you’re alone on rival turf. Race from rooftop to rooftop as you try to escape rival motorcycle club members, who are vying for your head.

[B]Ambush[/B]: A rival club thought they could have a relaxing ride home after a big score. Little did they know that you've been scouting them. Take out as many as you can before they reach their home base.

Ammo is a hard thing to come by in the world of Road Redemption. Plus, shooting things while driving 100 mph on a bike isn't exactly easy. Melee weapons are your true friends.

- Chains
- Lead pipes
- Baseball bats
- Tire Irons
- Machetes
- Samurai Swords
- Sledge Hammers
- Axes
- Brass Knuckles

You name it, they have it.

You can! The devs actually want to hear suggestions from the people and even hope to develop missions based on feedback from the community! All the instructions on how to do so are on their Kickstarter!
