Exit Racing: A JAM Game Mechanics Joint

Enter a world where fashion enters the fastlanes and furniture pieces compliments an engrossing line. Step into the garage of a JAM Game Mechanics Joint. Welcome to Exit Racing.


It's pretty bad when such a creative mind like mine can conceive some twisted things. 

Twisted, I actually mean on how this project came about. More so, just on how I have a slight fond of the Racing genre in general. To iterate, do I enjoy the NASCAR Races and those Formula 1 Racing shows? No, and it's not even funny. I tried to watch a taping of a race, but I pulled off a history-recorded "most drool to ever produce on a pillow. It isn't to say there is no fun to be had in the genre; there has been some exciting moments, but it's almost like Baseball to me: you have to be at the Stadium in order to feel the action. 

But the funny thing is where the "slight fond" comes from: the video games. yes, I grew up in the age of such racers like Pole Position, Road Blasters, Cruising USA, Need for Speed, Rad Racer, and my all-time personal favorite Racing game Ridge Racer--with R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 being amongst my favorite. But to be fair, Gran Turismo truly reigns supreme in the genre.

But the point I'm purveying here is of how those games really brought a dynamic perspective of how the sport really is. Granted, you've fought for whatever place through skillful driving and usage of breaks and drifting, but it wasn't until Ridge Racer Type 4 that introduced me to this arcade-style racing experience that tailored to my lack of knowledge on the sport, let alone on the mechanics. 

I've spoke upon my aesthetics of my appreciation for furniture items on Home, more so on Game Mechanics take on the commodity here. Then there are several articles of JAM Games items here on this site. So when you marry these two, well it's like a great infusion of a perfect relationship when it comes to the items at hand.

Recently, JAM Games have updated their RaceOn! fashion line with Game Mechanics' Racing furniture. Whereas JAM has garnered renown for their quirky-yet-fun costumes and daring-yet-tasteful fashions, Game Mechanics are on the rise for featuring elegant and evolutionary furniture pieces. However, JAM Games also released their first personal space, the RaceOn Garage and--depending on the level of skill for the decor medium--compliments GM's furniture quite nicely. 

In fact, I would like to dissect each brand's set of items.

RaceOn!

I've always found a bit of fun to be had with the RaceOn! fashion. The regular RaceOn! Suits are your normal racer suits that you wear when on the track. This enticing, figure hugging and curve accentuating Suit is complete with a Jacket and Trousers with four available hues to choose from: Orange, Pink, Blue, and Yellow. You can purchase these as individuals for just $1.49 (for the outfit) or collect them in a bundle for $3.99. 

LMO Bikes compliments the Suits very well.

 For the men, there are two available Racing Suits available: White and Red. Each can be purchased as separate pieces (Suit, Shoes, Gloves, and Helmet) between the price range of $0.99 (accessories) to $1.49 (Suit). 

Also available is the mysterious SuperSuit RaceOn, which is a highly detailed Super Suit which looks as though it came from the movie "The Wraith". Not that isn't a bad thing at all, due to seeing how I love the movie beyond much. The only problem? I wish this was available for the female avatar as well. :)

The shrouded SuperSuit is available at the price for $1.99.

Sexy Suit RaceOn!

The Sexy Suit RaceOn apparel are daring, scandalously revealing Suits with good taste. They sort of remind me of the racer models that're on the tracks holding up the Lap cards to everyone. These Suits are pretty much a hit amongst the Home community for its revealing style but thankfully, they also come with matching Heels that compliments pretty well. 

Six choice of colors to choose from (as listed) and can be purchased for $1.99 each or bought in a bundle for $2.49.

Two new colors were added: sparkly purple and white. It is to note, however, that these hues were specially requested due to simply desiring to see some diversity in the wardrobe. The sparkly purple absolutely enchants the eyes and hugs every inch of the body so nicely, purveying a nice well-round appeal for those who like to have a bit of glare in their Suits. 

The latter was requested by me. My reason? Well simple: I just love it personally. :)

These are available at the aforementioned price (bundle as well). 


My impression: unless I were to see any other developer come out with their version of racing suits, JAM Games pretty much owns this line and for someone who has a slight fond of the genre, even I really enjoy the offerings. The male line is suave and quite attractive for those who would like to don the suits either casually or for an event. 

The quality works for JAM's line and it is something I can recommend to anyone that dire something different in their wardrobe.



Game Mechanics

Yet another up and coming Home developer, Game Mechanics, hits the Home community scene with detailed, gorgeous furniture items. While I wrote an article for HSMagazine speaking on my aesthetics for the racing genre, Game Mechanics really opened my mind and eyes to truly enjoy the genre--at least--on Playstation Home. 

The main draw of this furniture line is of how you could place furniture items closer together. There are also furniture pieces featuring the said commodity placed closed together at the expense of 3 active item slots. 

What I really find great about the Contender line up is of how they truly embark upon creating an accurate atmosphere on their items. The Stock Cars, for example, really caught my attention upon release and of how they are highly detailed on the creative output, from the cosmetic design to the interaction of the locomotive behemoth, by which you can crank up the Car complete with the start-up sound effects. 

I've took the liberty to deck out my Garage Mansion much like a Car Rally; kind of close to the movie "Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" complete with lights and such. This is why I absolutely adore the Contender furniture line because it allows me to really be creative with my imagination and beyond. And I do say, the furniture is by far the most detailed of its genre on Home. 

There are an assortment of goodies to choose from, so head over to the furniture section and under the Game Mechanics tab.


Overall

JAM Games and Game Mechanics really marry so well together with their items and I've had a lot of fun putting this project together. JAM has some topnotch, fun fashion apparel that can go above the call to be daring, accentuating, but yet quirky and all-out a blast to wear and experience. When they create a theme, it becomes accurate to the creation and holds true to the type. 

Game Mechanics are also highly detailed with their furniture pieces and their love for the genre really shows in the work outputted. These two developers have made something unique and special on Home and it was great to explore  the genre a bit further to really get a feel and comprehension of the items at hand. 

If you're looking for something totally different from the norm and desire to step outside of the fashion and furniture routine, you really outta check out these two great developers, namely the RaceOn! and Contender brands.
