Hop by in the main thread when you have time, curious how you like the HD version and how far you can push it on the big Pro (still saving up for mine, bloody expensive here in Europe ) Leegames Well-Known Member Jul 1, 2010 1,083 0 0 Ex. game journalist and EiC now PR Denmark #6 Leegames, Apr 7, 2016 The HD one is so much better, calling it just HD in the title is an understatement. This is clearly a project, where the developer keeps adding content and polish. Protopop Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Jul 21, 2014 1,265 178 63 #7 Protopop, Apr 8, 2016 The developer here - Yeah my branding is pretty bad I just uploaded an update that changes the name and Icon to BrightRidge free, so hopefully it will mitigate some of the confusion. I'm doing everything myself (marketing, design etc, with lots of help from the Unity Asset Store) so sometimes i have to get to improving the different elements piece by piece and step by step. I wish i could have just updated the original file, but it wasn't possible due to technical issues. In any case thanks for trying the original, and i hope you'll try the HD version (i sent you a code for a free copy in your private messages). Id be especially interested to hear how it performs on the iPad Pro. There are a lot of quality options you can increase in the options in the HD version.
