  2. BMcC said 12 minutes later:

    Your wildest dreams come true!

  3. PoV said 13 minutes later:

    My gawd. Dreams *DO* come true!

  4. tantan said 16 minutes later:

  5. Stij said 25 minutes later:

    This…is the greatest masterpiece of our day and age.

  6. Dominic White said 30 minutes later:

    That HAS to have been inspired by the Video Game Name Generator.

    http://www.norefuge.net/vgng/vgng.html

    On that note, some site needs to hold a big game-development contest based around that site.

  7. Adam Atomic said 32 minutes later:

    This is what zoo race should have been.

  8. Keops said 40 minutes later:

    Af first I was like O_O what is this thing supposed to be? Where is the awesome here? XD

    Then on second 6 of the video, the hatch in the back of the jeep opened and we got this HUGE ball of spikes in a chain, and we can hook dead dinosaurs to it! Wow, this is the very essence of awesome!

  9. BMcC said 43 minutes later:

    Dead?!

    They’re just resting!

  10. axel said about 1 hour later:

    Animal cruelty just got awesome!

  11. Nillo said about 1 hour later:

    It needs supersoakers filled with concord grape juice.

  12. rndll said about 2 hours later:

    There is no splashing blood, it fails. And brains, no flying brains.

  13. Spincut said about 2 hours later:

    Oh my lordy, this is AWESOME. O_O

  14. Xotes said about 2 hours later:

    Dinosour ragdoll physics, giant maces, and super turning ability. What’s not to love?

  15. raigan said about 3 hours later:

    to quote mare: shit just got real.

  16. olmec said about 4 hours later:

    look great but still needs more creativity in concept. the raptor, the spiked tail and the ragdoll physics sitting in a table… is not enough to entertain all by themselves

  17. Matthew said about 4 hours later:

    olmec: You might be surprised.

  18. tantan said about 5 hours later:

    Also, Matt, why haven’t you posted this on F-M? Are you waiting for the release?

  19. Smithy said about 5 hours later:

    This most definitely should be filed under “games and art.”

  20. Prio said about 7 hours later:

    look great but still needs more creativity in concept.

    One word. Cowbell. Problem solved.

  21. Dave Cobb said about 9 hours later:

    If there was an actual game built around collecting these things, that would be rad. Something cheesy like, “Jurassic Park’s offline and we gotta cut our losses and hit all the dinos with a jeep!”

    I get to be Muldoon!

  22. PoV said about 9 hours later:

    You’ll need a bigger Jeep for the T-Rex.

  23. risujin said about 10 hours later:

    Cheap Carmageddon rip-off…

  24. BMcC said about 10 hours later:

    @Raigan: Haha, nice. Slogan material.

  25. Ben said about 10 hours later:

    It’s the strangest thing…you would think a concept this shallow would turn out weak, you know? But it’s SOOO fun. Granted, I am slightly biased. HAHA! I can’t wait for the next piece of footage, it’ll have Flashbang-made art in it!

    (Among other things. Haha!)

  26. Pixel Mort said about 11 hours later:

    Aaah indie games : )

  27. Del_Duio said about 13 hours later:

    Jewel Quest II: Now with 100% more Indiana Jones font!

    Their whole website just looks like a showcase for a TON of generic games from every possible genre. I didn’t think that would be possible, but lo. I wonder how much they’re charging for those?

    At least this one looks promising :)

  28. seth said about 16 hours later:

    hm i dunno, I just hope it doesn’t have a shallow story

  29. nullerator said about 16 hours later:

    This looks great.

    Matthew: Is Fun-Motion dead?

  30. jade_ad said about 17 hours later:

    Beh.. punching coward peaceful dinos?

  31. Kein said about 18 hours later:

    What a pile of poo.

    That Spike tail looks a lot like the one from Carmageddon

  32. Quiest said about 18 hours later:

    Since when do Velociraptors have bushy tails?

    Other than that it looks fun, but someone already said, its missing brutality like blood and some gibs flying around…

  33. Matthew said about 21 hours later:

    Velociraptors have feathers (the bushy tail is just missing any kind of texture map with opacity).

    And, yeah, Carmageddon was awesome. No need to be snarky about it! I might as well say, “Ha, Kein, what a pile of a poo. Your name looks a lot like Ken.” But that would both uncouth and uncalled for, and so I won’t.

    The website on our domain name sells casual games through affiliate programs (ie, we didn’t make the vast majority of the games on there). But it’s one of the revenue sources that allows us to sit around in an office and work on such timeless pieces of art as ORVS.

    Fun-Motion isn’t dead. Just sleeping :/

  34. Someplayer said 1 day later:

    This could be what Hunting Unlimited should have been like :D. But seriously after 5mins it needs challenge to become interesting. For example if raptors could jump on top of the car and eat your driver if you don’t manage to shake them of. Or add big dinos that might turn over the vechile and you then need to get outside to push it back on wheels..

  35. Matthew said 1 day later:

    Someplayer:

    In all seriousness, challenge and threat is something we’ve talked about quite a bit. This is a web game, though, so it’s likely we’ll just ship without. Five minutes of interesting is kind of the target ;)

  36. Shih Tzu said 1 day later:

    Wow, I second the Video Game Name Generator contest idea. Nothing it produces is less than awesome.

    Dirty Robot Disaster Sexy Lawnmower Rescue Educational Puzzle vs. The Space Mutants

  37. Blake said 1 day later:

    I third it

  38. Del_Duio said 1 day later:

    “Depressing Sunshine Party ”

    That should be a great challenge to some game designer I’d think.

    “Undercover Motorcycle Rider Punch-out!! ”

    HAHAHA, oh please somebody make one of these :)

    That name generator is awesome in a bag.

  39. Del_Duio said 1 day later:

    “Eco-Friendly Basketball Saloon”

    OH. AH. AHAHA. AHAHAA!!

    No more, spirit! Show me no more!

  40. BMcC said 1 day later:

    I move to make this a TIGSource competition at some point.
