Well, this is my most and only anticipated game of 2014(?) since the other one already released. Come on schplurg, release Dave from whatever torture device he's bound to now...let me have a swing at him
I will try and post a new video today. The game changes so often I hate to present something as if it's "done", but I'd like to share this new level with you guys. Stay tuned! Edit: Video tomorrow. Edit again Sorry not ready for a video. I have a bug to work out. Very soon.
Release Info Release Info Nothing too specific, but I'm expecting the game to be released by February, and very possibly sooner. That's as good as I can do for you right now. I'm having issues with my test iPads so I can't record a movie yet. My next video release will probably be an official trailer. i do have a new vid on my Youtube channel but it's nothing I want to show off. It gives away too much of the level too. You can find it easily if you want Aw heck here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdQDlB1ubmg Watch at your own risk. I'd rather not embed this one. I have one more level to build and then I can finish up the menus. There's still a lot of work with testing and setting up the way the tour and other game modes are going to work, but it's all coming together now. Here is an image from one of the Movie Stunt Scenes Dave can do for extra cash. Spider-Man isn't the only one who can travel from building to building without touching the ground! This stunt is action packed with explosions, gunfire from helicopters, and an illegal fireworks flea-market. Oh yeah and don't run into the movie film crew. This level has been the most ambitious yet. There are so many more possibilities in the game that I'm definitely going to have to keep building after it is released. I am very excited to be finally close to completion.
Level design is now pretty much complete! Today me and Dave are going out to record motorcycle sounds for the game. I want to make a video of this event. Hopefully we can catch him crashing on video Dave 2 could be done way before February.
Hope so! Been waiting SO long for this! Ah, what the hell, another few months is nothing considering it's been what, 3 or 4 years now?! Sheesh! Longest teasers ever..........
The Real Daredevil Dave Recording session is postponed until tomorrow. Bummer! I should give credit where it is due. The man on the motorcycle that is to be recorded is Douglas Doherty. I call him "Dave" because he is also the voice of Daredevil Dave. Doug has done an awesome job with the new game. I scripted a lot of what he says, but he improvised a lot as well, probably even more, and those are the lines that are the best. I just could not come up with some of the hilariously strange lines on my own. We spent a lot more time making quality recordings for Dave 2. Doug is not a professional voice actor (technically he is because he did Dave #1 for me). I think he's just a natural at this sort of thing. He has a great sense of humor, with a bit of a weird twist to it that serves the game perfectly. He even looks kinda like Dave. I'm thinking of making him a helmet for the movie...heh. So cheers to Doug for bringing Dave to life! The game would not be the same without you, no joke! And stay healthy bro, we have more work to do! It's okay that this old thread isn't getting much attention, I've got a lot of things set up for the release. Toucharcade is still home though, so here I shall stay. This will be the first place any information is announced. Daredevil Dave 2 is coming.
3 or 4 years? Naw.... Dave 1 came out May 11, 2010. This May will be FIVE years! Lol! But take off a year for time needed to build the game and ya, you're actually about right. This game should have had ten people working on it, minimum. Long story, but here we are. Sorry for the slight delay Really I am, for myself too. I made a lot of progress just last night alone. Leaving to go record the bike now!
Well, how we doing Schplurg? Was you able to record any vids with bike sounds? New pics or vids would be great....The anticipation is becoming intolerable! . Hope you are making progress on the game...can't wait!. Much appreciated
New screenshots Alrighty! The image below is from a movie stunt jump. Dave is in mid-air hoping to land on the roof of this building. You can't see the handlebars from this camera view. There is a helicopter firing missiles and shooting machine guns at him as he goes along the rooftops and parking garages, and offices.... Below: If you'd like, you can veer off course and look for other interesting things. I'm trying to restrict the players movement as little as possible. You wanna crash into a building and break some bones? Feel free! Ah, the movie you are shooting is called "Uzi-Cop 2". Bonus points if you can guess whose face is on that billboard! You can see a glowing powerup in front of it. Incentive to explore (and crash hard afterward)! On your way through this level you may encounter "Larry's Illegal Fireworks Flea Market". The possibilities here are endless I had fun designing this room. Some pretty big firecrackers! Oh and check out the "Toddlers Set"! More explosive fun! I recommend the Family Chaos Pack! These are some seriously illegal fireworks. They don't explode or anything yet, but they just might at some point. You should see the Polaris "F-Bomb" - one seriously scary missile with 12 warheads on it, or maybe more I forget! At the end of this movie stunt you get to fly off the top of a parking garage and blow up the helicopter. You can see streets below. There will be other stunts in this level! I ain't doin all this work for just one stinkin' jump! These movie stunt jumps are for Dave to earn extra cash in case he's running low. You get more cash depending on how well you do the scene. There are explosions and missiles to dodge, and multiple pathways you can take. The above images are all from the same "jump" - there are actually FIVE jumps in it!!! Yeehaw!!! Other new things: Elevator music! You start the level in an elevator. There are 10 hilariously bad and corny songs you can hear in the elevator if you want to hang out and listen. Brought to you by K.R.A.P Radio - music that stinks! New Throttle indicator. Still working on it. You can move it wherever you want, lefty or righty. It makes it way easier to reach the correct speed. I'll pretty it up later. Engine sounds! In this game, the motorcycle actually sounds like a motorcycle. Still waiting to post the video of our recording session with the bike. I have to design a new outfit for Dave for the movie scenes. I actually have a much improved character model for Dave, I just haven't put it in the game yet. No more mannequin arms! I have been working my butt off, and will continue to do so. I've made countless other improvements and enhancements, I just can't remember them all right now. I said February at the latest for release. So far that's looking good. I'm hoping for earlier. Any questions? This is going to be the best game ever. No really...ever.
This is an old picture but it's another indication of where this game is going, as far as humor goes. Dave has no cash left from the last tour, so he has to build himself a new bike out of things from a junkyard. This is the first bike in the game. Features a toilet for a seat, a lawnmower engine, a tank full of nitrous (flush the toilet and off you go!), and a front fender made out of a "one-way" road sign. The wooden frame is even weaker than it looks, so land gently
This is without doubt my most eagerly awaited release. I cannot wait to give that wooden frame toilet bike a try! Thanks so much for the hard work. This is one of those rare releases where I will be up late and constantly checking the store until it's live.
Hello! Just thought I'd check in. I am almost finished with the new 3d model of Dave (no more mannequin arms!). I'll post something when it's done. I am animating a cutscene where he and Bigfoot have a conversation. You may have seen Bigfoot briefly in one of the old vids - he's the big hairy Rastafarian looking dude. My Bigfoot is a cool guy! One of Dave's missions is to try and find Bigfoot, then you can decide whether or not you want to have him captured or let him go after talking with him. So I'm animating the characters for this cutscene, lips and all. I also had another recording session with Dave and Bigfoot so I can finish this scene. Bigfoot sounds kinda like Tommy Chong Who knew? So in between sound recording, character animating, recording bike sounds and building a system for them to work in the game, and cleaning my bathroom, and programming and and - I'm getting closer to finishing the game! Working right now. Questions, comments, ideas are always welcome!
Hey there! This thread is slow even when I post so I've just been concentrating on the game. I check it often though. I have been working daily on Dave 2. The new Dave model is done and in the game and it looks, and crashes, way better than the old one I was using (in all the vids and screenshots up until now). I am almost finished putting the Tour Mode together. There will be 2 or 3 tours in this first release. They get progressively more difficult. There will be about 30 or so jumps in each tour - 3 jumps per location, pretty much. So there will be a lot of jumps and stunts, not to mention the Movie Stuntman jumps. There are 12 or so locations so far - Vegas Casino, Racetrack, Stadiums, Toxic waste dump, a few cities, a golf course, a giant bowling alley, a zombie thing, a forest where you search for Bigfoot, and some others. Sorry if this post is boring, I will see about getting some pictures up tomorrow, it's getting late. I need ideas for a "House Of Pain" style jump, if anyone remembers this from the first game. Basically, it's a level where Dave can only crash. I haven't designed such a level yet, I'm waiting to be inspired. There are so many ideas/levels that I want to add to the game that many will need to be in an update. I feel like I'm repeating stuff I've already mentioned - sorry, I'm really tired. I mentioned that the game would hopefully be done by Feb 28th. It may be a little longer (maybe not), but not much - I'm talking weeks, not years! Depends on how the testing goes. It's almost done! Maybe I can do one final video for this thread. I'd like to show Dave getting pulverized by a crusher thingy at the toxic waste dump. After that, the next video will be the actual trailer vid for the games release. Gotta sleep. I will get back to you guys. Thanks for the post!
