Update: Not much to say, still debugging the game and adding final touches. This is one of the most difficult parts of the design process, or at least it's very time consuming. Back to work!
Daredevil Dave 2 is a fun and interesting game. I've been beta testing. The dev is working very hard at making this a great game with plenty of content. I am very excited to see it's completion!
Thank you for this! To everyone: I am still working daily on the game, I just haven't taken time to post here. I just need to fix small bugs, add GameCenter, and do more testing.
Game Center is workin - I was surprised it went so smoothly! I'm just playing the heck out of the game now and fixing small issues as find them. I should say WE are, "we" being me AND my testers who have been extremely helpful! Daredevil Dave 2: Motorcycle Mayhem is done, I am adding no more to the game. Just fixing a few last minute things and then it will be submitted. Stay tuned...
YES!!! Finally! Been like 5 years in the making! I remember helping test the first one and how fun it was, and I remember the dev was a great guy! Ready to check this one out! I'm expecting a lot this time--got a feeling I'm not gonna be let down!
Shoot me a PM if you wanna help out again. Going to use TestFlight this time. Do expect a lot because you're going to get it! - 3 Tours spanning 65 jumps, 15 different locations - Many locations allow you to "free ride" wherever you want. You know when you play a game and think, "I wish I could turn down that street and see what kind of trouble I can get into"? Well you can here, at your own risk. - Injury mode is now called Mayhem Mode, because besides scoring points by getting hurt, you also score for bike and property damage. - Win a Medical Truck to help keep your injury costs down (win, not purchase). - Some of the coolest 3D trophies/achievements in any game, some are even animated! Dave has his own showroom with awards, stats, and of course there is Game Center too so others can see your awesomeness. - Motorcycle versions of Skeeball, Pachinko, Golf and Bowling. - Zombies to smash, blimps to blow up in mid-air, traffic and cop cars to avoid - or not. - Lots of things to destroy for points. - Dave's coolness: hundreds of quips, screams of pain, and general words of wisdom. - Even the Main menu is part of the game! This is truly an original game, even when compared to the first one. I'm so excited for this launch!!! Should be submitted to Apple in September. Official trailer coming soon!
I've been testing it for a while now and it's super fun! Can't wait for everyone else to get this game because when I'm playing it and my friends want to get it also I always have to tell them it's not out yet, but now they can soon play!!
The original DD Dave was the first truly addictive and enjoyable mobile games I played. I have been checking in periodically for the past few years and I really hope this will be showing up in the App Store soon. I know you have put everything into the development of this game and I hope it is a huge success. This will be a day 1 purchase for me. #excited
Wow, it's September!!! Thank you for the kind words! Here are a few new images if anyone is interested. New splash screen for the game...might need some tweaking because Dave looks a little too happy to be crashing (click for larger image - iPad retina size) Dave, with his still unnamed manager, and Bigfoot...this one is the same aspect ratio as most monitors...(oops helmet's on crooked!) (click for way larger image - 3000px wide)
Well I was hoping to have the game completely built this month and I think that goal will be reached. Did I just say that? Usually it's a big, "Sorry, but..." I have Game Center working, the only kind of major thing I want to do is add instant replays. I had them working for a long time but the people behind the replays service are shutting it down. I have another option and it should only take a day or so to get working, but it's an unexpected thing added to my list. I really want to have them at launch. So the game should be submitted by end of the month. When it goes on sale depends on a few things, like setting up any marketing - I haven't had time to consider that part of it really. Hopefully I can get TA to look at it - they were good to me last time, and they wanted a copy of Dave 2 but that was a few years ago so haha gonna have to see I need the timing for the release to be right, I only get one shot at making the launch "correct". The best I can say is that the game will be completely finished by the end of this month (September). Once the marketing decisions (if any) are made I will release it to you guys. Finally!!!
I've looked forward to this since day one. My iPad got smashed beyond repair and I've been fortunate enough to replace it with a shiny new mini 4. Good work and good luck. This has been a very public development, and I can see it's a labour of love. I hope you had as much fun making it as we all will playing it
Thank you! It's been fun - it's also been a nightmare at times, but it's mostly fun. I just looked at my "to do" list - most tasks are complete. There are just some small items that must be finished before I can release it. Example: sometimes when I win a Motocross race it doesn't register as a win - it says "You Lose!!!". Not good Most of my tasks are much simpler though and not actual bugs. Instant Replays are back in the game. I am using "Everyplay" and it is working well. Maybe I will use it to post a short video here. Thanks everyone for the support! It's been a long road but the end is finally within reach! Thanks for hanging in there with me!
Ready to purchase whenever it's done! Wish we still had all those early iOS devs around making sequels. So many great indie games during those years, before the plagues of F2P and in-game currency IAP.
Hi, Chocolate Yep things have changed a lot, but not me! By the way, the game will be released in October. More details to come Surprise everyone - more vids! I recorded a few videos with the in-game Instant Replay and sharing feature. They aren't hi-def, however you can pull the video off your device and edit and upload it yourself if you desire. These were uploaded straight from my iPhone 5. Nine holes of Motorcycle Golf! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Dave bypasses the jump and explores the casino grounds... Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel This one shows off the new Pachinko jump!!! It starts though with a double jump in a city that has a few not-so-hot looking buildings. I designed this back when I thought the game would run on an iPhone 4 (it won't)... Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
I still have some days remaining! The game is essentially done, but I have a few more little "to-dos" left. I can't believe I've whittled down that list to just a few tasks. A few are important things that popped up last minute, but nothing difficult. It will be released this month (yes this October, not next haha).
