Un-excite Bike - Game Jam

This project was part of the first of three UWE's Game Jam, we had a modern popular game and demake it for the Atari 2600. Our group decided to take the popular series Trials, many focusing on Trials Evolution. This game is a racing game for the Xbox 360 in which each player controls a motorcycle trials rider who traverses an obstacle course. The reasons we chose this game:

• The game has a simple game loop
• Our team has all played trials and had a idea of how it worked
• Atari 2600 didn’t have a game like this released, wanted to know why

What was learnt from this project and skills improved

For this project we had a limited time to create it, because of this time we had to plan out the project. First for all our team assign each member a section of the game. These were the section picked UI, Bike, Camera system, Levels, Pixel shader and gameplay. Except from the bike and gameplay, the other section don't rely on each other, this meant that the team members can create them without much interaction and merge them later. Mid way through the game jam, all of the section were almost done, the level were delayed due to not knowing what the bike could do.
