Elevator pitch A racing game set in a mad max like environment with a large variety of vehicles where you can destroy other racers by ramming them with your car or with a weapon. If mad max was a racing game.

Idea and product • A wide variety of vehicle types none of which need to be realistic. Could be a car or it could be a mech. • Each vehicle could have their own stats like health, top speed and acceleration. • Each vehicle would have a different weapon type, which would all need to deal different amounts of damage. • Semi realistic high poly art style. • Race takes place in a circuit arena were the race track is covered with traps and obstacle the will need to avoid. • The Game is technically a single player demolition racing game for the PC.
