Mad Skills Motocross is all revved up and ready!
August 26, 2009 in Spotlight
I am very happy to announce that Tobias, one of our own long-time JME community members (since 30. October 2006), has released his first commercial, absolutely top notch game! Mad Skills Motocross ring any bells? You might have heard of it already when he first announced it on the project board, or maybe you helped out with some cross-marketing and got your hands on a free beta? Naturally not everything went as planned and it seems set release dates came and went, but never mind that as it is here now and it is rocking!

You better hurry off to their website right now and try that demo! And if you like it, why not just go ahead and buy it for $25.95? You will be supporting a fellow indie developer, and indirectly supporting the jMonkeyEngine by making one of it’s powered projects shine and encouraging Tobias to use it for his next endeavor, which will excite us all I am sure. Lastly, if there is any cool part of this project, technical or otherwise, that you would love to know more about, make haste and post your question right away and I might be able to include it in my soon-to-take-place interview with Tobias.
Major congrats to Tobias and his fellow developers for completing a polished and highly entertaining game, made with the Java Monkey Engine!

It is very nice game, i played demo and i quite enjoyed it but why so expensive 20€?? I this price I can get much longer game, look at prices on Steam there I can buy games like this in much lower price 5-10 €. I think 7 € would be OK. But congratulations for making decent game.
