    So I've had this on my mind for a long time now, and I'm just now deciding to put it out to everyone.

    Are there any artists out there who are not only fans of Snowboard Kids, but also Alvin & The Chipmunks and The Powerpuff Girls? I ask because I'm a game programmer who's trying to make it in the industry. I'm thinking about trying to make a small sample of a racing game that features the kids from each of those series. In SBK's case, I'm only including the kids from SBK, SBK Plus, and SBK2 for a total of 12. So we're talking 24 playable characters potentially.

    I want to start small, though, so I'd only like to use one person to begin with and test it out and see if I can make something happen. What I need is for someone with pretty good art skills to pick one character - for now - and create some racing sprites. I'm looking at using at Python to create the game, but Flash might be a possibilty as well.

    What do you all think of the idea? If you're interested or have any questions, just let me know, and we can either hammer out details here or through PM. I have a picture I put up on my deviantArt page showing what would be the symbols on the go-karts would look like.

      I wish I were more of an artist, but the only art I'm good at comes from writing. If you wanted help in creating storyline or test from characters from SBK, I could certainly help with that.

      An interesting concept, by the way.

        I would like to hear what your ideas are regarding storyline. I was thinking something along the lines of it being an adventure racing game, similar to a Diddy Kong Racing or a Crash Team Racing. Maybe the Chipmunks, the Chipettes, the Powerpuff Girls, and the Rowdyruff Boys have to work together to rescue the Snowboard Kids, lol.

            Send me a PM with your inquiry about story, and I can tell you a bit about what I can suggest.

              Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted a potential storyline yet. I've been busy with school, so I haven't had much time to think. I promise to post something soon. Thanks for everyone who's waiting.

                In regards to this, that would be impossible since development of the game for commercial value would infringe on Atlus' and Racjin's intellectual rights of the SBK Title, so the game would have to be freeware or a tribute project.
