The Great Sperm Race

by meridimus

Uncategorized

We've been working very hard on an upcoming project, ‘The Great Sperm Race’ for Channel 4.

It's launching to the public on Friday 20th March, then shortly afterwards Banana Dash will be hitting your screens too.

‘The Great Sperm Race’ is an abstract educational game that ties in with a Channel 4 documentary that airs on 23rd March in conjunction with the Wellcome Trust.

Our focus was to try and demonstrate the journey of the sperm without making the game boring, we wanted something that was visually stimulating and subconsciously educational.

We'll be hosting a small internal beta for this game over the weekend but we already have selected the beta participants and they'll be notified by email shortly. Because of the tight deadline we want to keep this small and concise, there's not much of a wait for everyone else since the game is out next Friday so don't get bummed out if you're not part of the beta.

Hey that's good an educational game. I laughed when I went on the site to see sperm. :P This will be good to teach younger kids (not too young though) .

timewarptrio· 10 Months ago

beta please! I didn't expect this to be here either
Runey676· 10 Months ago

They said that they already picked people, so asking to be in the beta really isn't necessary.
ThePika· 10 Months ago

Did Sarah design those little guys...
mk0092· 10 Months ago

Does anyone have a email on it yet?
axelot· 10 Months ago

Sounds exciting, JTS' racing games have been great so far, this looks like it will be a nice change to the whole car-driving scenario of most racing games.
mk0092· 10 Months ago

Nice thought Dom. I do wonder about the visuals in the game though.....xD
Guy_In_Armor· 10 Months ago

0092, I still stand by my sperm weaponry. So basically the visuals will be tiny tadpoles with giant laser cannons coming out of their sides. I seriously hope JT does the upgrades thing. xD
mk0092· 10 Months ago

xD. That would be great. We should have a version that we customize. xD
kingofrsjr· 10 Months ago

i call beta,plz
Agentman· 10 Months ago

i know not of this "learn" but can i be in the beta?
dravirdude· 10 Months ago

well the upgrade thing is a good idea...its al about that "the strongest and fastest win!"Lasors, cannons and speed boosts! i cant see where this ends!
mk0092· 10 Months ago

Ok, I want Beta, when is it going to be out?
Dimatheking94· 10 Months ago

Someone got email yet?
AnarchyDom· 10 Months ago

You said you've already selected participants, so I guess there's no point in asking to be in it.
Dimatheking94· 10 Months ago

Yeah..but you don't know if you have been chosen or not..
mk0092· 10 Months ago

Me no email. He may have told the email-ees to shut up about it.
AnarchyDom· 10 Months ago

Yeah, true. Or maybe you're an email-ee and you're trying to convince us you're not! The Great Sperm Race conspiracies begin!
meridimus· 10 Months ago

We decided to launch the beta tomorrow instead since we're already delivering a build to C4
mk0092· 10 Months ago

Thanks for the update. Its really matters to me down in my cold-blooded Combine Sniper murdering heart.
dravirdude· 9 Months ago

thanks for telling us ;) can you make a pos on the forums when its out? so we dont have to check our mail all the time.btw, when you get an invite for a beta, will it automaticly show up at the betas your in (when you press the star) or will you have to "confirm" it at the mail itself?
Dimatheking94· 9 Months ago

I think it will be automatically show up
