Love the idea of cars having different stats. # Hate the car controls though. # Changing from a virtual twin joystick control for your character to a four button control for a car is really jolting. And having the controls behave differently depending on whether your car is facing north or south is just making that worse. I will admit that twin shooters are not my normal style of game and so it is probably just a personal problem. But why did the controls have to be different for a car? Why not just continue using the joystick to control it? I am now really struggling trying to keep playing the game because you have to drive those *^+%^ cars at some time to progress....and so far that is where I die everytime. ☹️
I have played for a few minutes and also had trouble with car control. Maybe we get used to it after a while? But the change was abrupt gameplay wise.
Car controls I did try several different controls, but I found this solution to be the best. Obviously having gamepad support would make it better! But most players don't have one, so it needs to work on the screen. I think the driving controls are something you can acclimatize to fairly quickly, but yes, you do have to get into the flow of jumping in and out of cars, and making the switch. If you do find the car controls taking a bit to get used to, you can generally just jump out of the car at the beginning of a mission (which keeps the car safe anyway!), complete the mission on foot, and only really use the car for JUMPS missions, where you can drive forwards the whole time. But I swear you get used to it pretty quick. No longer than a year of nightly training is required! ;D
Renegade Radio - Outtakes & Extras! You all might enjoy these Outtakes & Extras from my Voice Over recording with Brendan Barnett (@VoiceUnboxing) for Renegade Radio which plays throughout my game... Renegade Radio - Outtakes & Extras Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Brendan improvised most of these outtakes, and they cracked me up! But there's only so many clips I could fit into the game. I love the ones with Snake Plissken having a sort of midlife crisis.
Haha! Yeah, we had so much fun that day. Brendan is really funny, he has a background and a degree in acting, and improv, and he's also the Dungeon Master in D&D that I'm playing with some other game dev friends! And he does all these great voices and stuff. AMAZING. There's another Snake Plissken take in part 3 of the Outtakes and Extras too, which I love. But yeah, "Snake Plissken's Nudist Gunshot, come in, it's all on display, sale on handguns, I'll throw in a free eyepatch." ... Hahaha.
Loving the game! One thing is definitely making it a bit annoying though. The load time for a mission is between 12-17 seconds (on average), then the same amount of wait time is needed to return back the map after a mission is completed... With one short mission, I have almost 1 minute of combined wait time. Is this a bug, or are the load screens just super slow for everyone? Iphone 7+ (11.0.3)
Load"*",8,1 Glad to hear you're enjoying the game! Those load times do sound a bit longer than I'd expect. I've been testing on an iPhone 6S, and to load into a mission it takes 8 seconds before the title screen appears (eg: "Rescue"), then another 4 or 5 seconds for the level to be fully procedurally generated, and then it fades in. So all up it takes about 13 seconds to load and generate a mission. That's similar to the time you're getting on iPhone 7+. But to get back to the main menu, on iPhone 6S, it only takes about 7 or 8 seconds, which seems quite a bit faster than what you're seeing on iPhone 7+. I would have expected it to be faster on 7+ than a 6S! In general, the load times take a little while because of loading in the various radio voice files, the music, and the various tips images and whatnot.
Loving this game so far... has that gauntlet feel also you can be very tactful too and thats a good thing first couple runs I went in guns blazing on purpose to get the mechanics down now i am being serious ha good work!
Gettin' serious! Haha, yeah, it's good to just run in and get a feel for it, blast some stuff. But it does take some strategy and wisdom to get through to the rocket! - MUZBOZ
Thanks for the clarification. I figured there might be some extended loading due to the randomness of the levels, voices and such. I mainly wanted to make sure it wasnt a problem on my end. I can live with it if need be. These days, Im just used to a lot snappier loading Interfaces. The game play is fun enough to bring me back for another run.
They did a great job of creating an apocalyptic world of destruction and desolation and I loved the Mad Max vibe. The gameplay itself is a mix of strategy and shoot em up and its a pretty fun ride one you get the hang of it and that brings me to my issues with the game The controls need work, having different controls for driving vs walking really took me out of the moment and I died constantly. But after I took some time to focus on the controls themselves I got better and was able to complete missions. It’s a good game but you’ll need to invest the time to really get the best out of it
