Subject: Triathlon video game for smartphones and tablets
There are plenty of basketball, baseball or hockey video games but still no triathlon video game as far as I know.
So I decided to create one for smartphones and tablets!

The idea is to manage a national team during several seasons (men or women, olympic distance to ironman) and playing races in 3D.
The management part will consist of training plans, equipment improvement, coach recruitment...
During the simulated races, you will control your triathletes strategy and effort intensity.

I'm also considering adding a Challenge mode, gathering several races for an overall standing, and in which management would only consist of training plans.

This game would be sold for around $5 on iTunes and GooglePlay.

I would really appreciate your feedback and suggestions for the first triathlon video game!
Thanks!

I attached 'work in progress' screenshots.

Haha
Actually there are also men in the game. But anti doping controls are not yet planned!
Maybe it would be a good buzz for my game if I could receive a letter from the ITU

I think the management side of it is the way to go rather than controlling races. More like football manager or one of those. Just my two cents.

Thanks for your suggestion.
Indeed I started the project with a race oriented game, but I realized quickly that the management side will be the most interesting.
Yet, I decided to keep the race simulation side, but with limited strategy controls as in football manager.

You could put a training side and racing side to it.

There is a lot of math and science behind under training, over training, peaking, bonking, pacing, drafting.......which makes programming it feasible and somewhat realistic.

In most sports game, injuries/suspensions are a random variable.
Overtraining = high chance of injury

Well, training, peaking, bonking, pacing and drafting are already planned in the game With some maths and science behind, but with a rather simple interface so that it stays a game.
I didn't include injuries yet because I personally found them too frustrating in a game.
