Intro

This article is part 2 of 3 of a series of articles

The 20th of February we where contacted by Svenn Andersen from TV2 zulu who wanted us to produce an online multi player racing game in flash. Svenn was one of the original stake holders in the Barda game for DR but left when the game was still in its design phase for an employment at TV2 zulu. Svenn did however still like the final Barda project and therefore decided to use us for the production of the racing game.

As the game was meant to be part of a site for a tv show called Zulu Djævleræs we of course had to be up and running before the first episode was aired. This presented a bit of a problem as the first episode was to air the 12th of April giving us less than two months to make the entire game. However after discussing back and forrth with Tv2 Zulu for about a week, we agreed to do the production of the game if we where allowed in broad terms to decide on how the game would work and look. Tv2 Zulu accepted these terms and on the 5th of April the game went online.

Anyway I suggest you simply go try the game at http://racerzulu.tv2.dk/. Below are a set of translated screen shots for those of you who do not understand Danish.

The game itself, the shop and highscore should be fairly self explanatory so I will not include them here.

A bit of statistics; since the release the 5th of April, 32.644 registered users have used 22.620 hours driving 3.839.941 rounds in the game.

Last but not least, we own the games out of Denmark, so if you need a game like this somewhere else please .
