THE PIT STOP

An evolving automotive and racing universe bringing together car culture, gaming, storytelling and community.

The Pit Stop combines an extensive automotive collection, game systems and a growing cast of distinctive personalities within a creative world built around a shared passion for cars.

IN DEVELOPMENT

MEET THE MECHANIX

Sparkz

Torx

Wheelz

Nutz

At the heart of The Pit Stop are the Mechanix — four pint-sized automotive robots with distinct personalities, abilities and specialities.

Sparkz, Torx, Wheelz and Nutz aren't just mascots. They are part of The Pit Stop world, its stories and its game systems, each bringing their own approach to making cars go faster... or, occasionally, making things considerably more interesting.

VEHICLE COLLECTION & GAME SYSTEMS

Behind The Pit Stop is a collection of 5,555 automotive collectibles, built from a diverse range of vehicles spanning car and racing culture.

From hatchbacks, vans and trucks to muscle cars, sports cars and supercars, individual vehicle designs appear across different editions, with the wider collection structured around vehicle types, eras, rarity levels, performance attributes and special modifiers.

The Mechanix are integrated into the system itself, with Sparkz, Torx, Wheelz and Nutz influencing different vehicle characteristics and creating the foundations for game and interactive concepts.

Collection design. Game mechanics. Interactive concepts.

JAR JAR

PROOF OF CONCEPT

A smarter, simpler way to stay in control of your budget — and make more of what’s left.

Jar Jar takes a straightforward approach to personal budgeting, helping users keep track of available funds, everyday spending and the money left over to put into their savings jar.

The first functional prototype focuses specifically on holiday budgeting, dividing a trip budget across individual days and dynamically adjusting daily allowances as money is spent or saved.

Future development will expand the concept into monthly budgeting, providing the same clear view of spending, remaining budget and potential savings for everyday use.

Functional prototype. Built and tested on Android.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Highground Studios is just getting started.

New applications, creative projects and interactive experiences are already taking shape, with plenty more ideas waiting to make the journey from concept to reality.
