A ride across Atlanta gets weird
The Battle of ATL
Ellison dropped his phone playing frisbee in Piedmont Park. Find it, survive Atlanta’s most popular bike path, and reach Morgan at 98 Estoria before the clock runs out. It’s free to play now in an open beta on Windows or Mac.

Why we built it
Why would an Atlanta web design shop build a video game?
Well, we have super cool clients. One of them asked us what we could do with 4 billion tokens, two frontier models, and 7 days.
Since that client was in the building sciences arena, we thought we would explore what AI and Unreal Engine could do. First we started brainstorming a virtual walkthrough of iconic buildings in Atlanta. Then someone said, “I wonder when GTA VI is coming out.” We all laughed, and decided it would be pretty funny to build an indie GTA VI before GTA VI was released.
So now I present to you The Battle of ATL. We fully digitized Piedmont Park — the most heavily trafficked park on Atlanta’s most popular bike path — plus Krog Street Tunnel and Murder Kroger.

How the first sprint crunched Atlanta into a game
This experimental indie game started when a Web Experts client wanted to explore 3D rendering for buildings. In September 2026, that led to a slightly harebrained question: how far could we push a frontier model and Unreal Engine before GTA VI arrived? The result has been described as the 1980s Paperboy game meeting GTA on Atlanta’s most popular bike path.
We digitized all of Atlanta’s most popular bike path, plus Piedmont Park and key parts of Midtown, into one connected Unreal Engine world. The first beta made the route playable from Midtown through Piedmont Park to Krog Street Tunnel; later builds opened more of the route we had already mapped.
The original 97 builds were created during an intense four-plus-day sprint with GPT-6 Astra running at high speed: 1.5 billion AI tokens processed during development, plus five usage resets, while studying the map, testing the route, and turning every section we could reach into gameplay.
That first sprint is where players joined the process. It brought the world to its first real testing point, and the current Windows + Mac beta continues the riding, combat, characters, art, balance, and performance work while expanding the map farther across Atlanta.

How the first sprint rebuilt Piedmont Park
We traced the real path network and road connections, projected them into one Unreal Engine coordinate system, and shaped terrain beneath those routes. Then we added collision, gravity, speed, ramps, jumps, traffic, crowds, and the other rules that turn the mapped city into a playable world.
ReconstructReal park paths, roads, water edges, and elevation become one connected Unreal world.
Test the terrainEarly ride tests expose broken grades, holes, sharp seams, and places where map lines do not make a rideable surface.
Implement world physicsBike speed, gravity, collision, ramps, jumps, and landing forces are tested in places such as the Old Fourth Ward skate park.

Current sprintWindows Playtest 156Mac Playtest 1562 billion AI tokensDeepSeek Flash 4.1Thursday → Saturday
This sprint was not just a Windows port. It was a full second pass across the game: refining how it rides, growing the skate park, rebuilding Murder K, turning Krog Street Tunnel into a real encounter, and finally making the Windows build. It ran on 2 billion AI tokens, primarily with DeepSeek Flash 4.1.
Refined the gameplay
Riding, collisions, controls, and moment-to-moment flow got another pass on both platforms.
Expanded the skate park
The Old Fourth Ward park grew into a much bigger rideable space with more bowls, a new west half, and a launch bank.
Enhanced Murder K
The storefront and riding plaza got a rebuild, and the whole encounter was stress-tested as the loudest stretch on the route.
Deepened Krog Street Tunnel
The tunnel became a full hazard set with deep holes, shallow holes, columns, lighting, and a weave-through line.
Made the Windows build
The same Atlanta world now runs natively on Windows with keyboard and mouse controls.
Kept both builds in step
Windows and Mac ship the same route, rules, and content, so a playtest on either platform tells us the same thing.

What you can play
Windows and Mac now share the same route and rules. Ride from Midtown into Piedmont Park, search for Ellison’s phone, and push toward Atlanta’s most popular bike path and Krog Street Tunnel while the city reacts around you.
Ride and explore
Arcade and realistic bike modes, jumps, boosts, hills, lake swimming, spare bikes, and a route based on real Atlanta streets.
Survive the route
Pedestrians, scooters, zombies, gunfire, drones, police, potholes, dogs, traffic, and strange Atlanta encounters alter every run.
Help shape Version 1
Testers can report confusing controls, crashes, bad collisions, performance problems, and moments that are fun enough to keep.
System requirements
- Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit
- Apple silicon Mac: M1 or newer, macOS 14 or newer
- At least 4 GB of free storage
- Keyboard and mouse or trackpad
This is a work in progress for adult players.The beta contains stylized violence, blood, weapons, and mature Atlanta humor. Features, balance, controls, art, and performance will change before Version 1.
