So the people that applied for beta testing didn't get to beta test?! Only the dev and Woodrith!! I wanted to test but I guess not. FUDGING HELL!
I'm such a noob on ta don't know how get the images on toucharacde from my iPad air anyway here my Twitter page with images of the game https://mobile.twitter.com/account
Hey no worries brother, he wants it in as many hands as possible, I think he's looking to iron out some of the known big bugs before doing a full beta. I was lucky enough due to talking to Von for some time. I can't wait to meet you on the battlefield sir! Hey James, I'm on the iPad Air as well, two easy ways to do it, one if you have a website for the image simply put or click on the icon when making a reply, looks like a mountain with a sun. Or click on the paper clip icon, just right of the smiley face one and upload directly from your iPads photo gallery.
THIS Is ####ing impressive. Like, absolutely groundbreaking. Other devs need to listen the #### up because Voncarp is killin' it all by his lonesome. Amazing!!
I'm probably due for another video. The game has improved considerably since I released those videos months ago. Interesting that you asked that. I've actually been working on getting some vehicles in game. It makes sense, since there are broken down vehicles scattered to loot for parts, find gas, and put together some wheels. Another tester mentioned that players should have the ability to turn on the lights in some buildings. I thought that was a great idea. So gas for vehicles could also be used in generators. Hi. Thanks for the excitement. Like Woodrith said, I wasn't really doing a beta test. I had a specific issue that I wanted to resolve and we were chatting realtime. I asked several on Twitter and he was the only one who got back to me. So thats how we came to play. I've done this many times actually. I'm all for more testers when the time comes. Like I mentioned to Takeo, testers have great ideas. Sometimes, my vision of the game isn't necessarily what people want. So, I'm always open to implement ideas. Thanks again.
Listenin to the devs ideas and seeing some of these screenshots, this game is on track to be one of the most notable games of the year. As someone who's never played DayZ or those type of games, im really glad something like them is coming to iOS. Im really hoping to test it soon. The graphics side needs to be a little improved but other than that it seems like voncarp has got a winner on his hands
More screens More screens when playing with Von. finally the bequeathed hero had found a pleasant motel 6 to rest his weary body. well I hope the maids still do turnover service.... full moon, right before being mauled by hollow men!
Looking mighty good in the new screenshots. Its a very big leap forward from earlier. Should be very interesting. A day one purchase looks to be on the cards. Well, is the only option really.
I've never played DayZ either I watched a few videos of DayZ and I've always been a big fan of the fallout series, so the premise of DayZ seemed like it would work well in an apocalyptic world. Woodrith wandered outside of my test area. So, its a little more empty out there. Thanks! I've got a bit more to do, but everything is moving pretty fast now. ScreenShot: Me vs Me vs Me. iPad Air vs MacBook Pro vs iPhone 5. Online test. See updates here or follow me on Twitter: vonstarone. Thanks!
20. I may add or subtract based on additional tests to get the best performance. There is a huge disparity between iPhone 4S and iPhone 6 performance. I haven't exactly yet decided how to address this. The first thing that comes to mind is limit low end devices to 10-15 players. But, again; still deciding. Now, keep in mind that 20 is what I plan to implement on my servers for best performance. If you start you own game or server, you can adjust that number to whatever you want. Remember, more players; more performance hit.
Yessssss! So excited. Do you have a blog/website for Barren Roads? Also, are we looking at a Q1 2015 release ?
Bad trip you can check out the game here: http://www.indiedb.com/games/survival-barren-roads And the dev on Twitter here: https://www.twitter.com/VonStarOne As far as release, he's hoping for a 2015 Q1, but that can change of course, with the app priced around $5. Again could change. It's super ambitious, but I know once the game is released, support won't stop with this dev.
I do have a website, but its not updated. I'm not very good with websites. I probably should redo my whole website and run a blog. I enjoy talking about the technical sides of Barren Roads as I have done some pretty cool things with it, and have posted a few things on here before. However, people really didn't seem interested, so I never really revisited the technical aspects. On a side note though, I could use some more testers. And would like anyone interested to add me on twitter (vonstarone) so we can chat realtime. I understand people can't be online at the same time I am, but at the moment until I get a 24 hour persistent server completely finished, I have to run games when I'm online. So, at the moment woodrith and I are going into battle once again by ourselves.
