I've been away from the TA forums for awhile, by I'm back. Ow and would love some good co Petition in Disc Drivin'. If you're looking for another player hit me up. I won't say I'm great but if youre looking for decent competition I'm committed to racing and have fun. Disc drivin' - Chumbake
I like playing with you InjuWarrior. We're both on the same skill level it seems. Indy on the other hand lets me win about 1 out of every 10 games we play. lol Does the developer watch this thread? One of the things that drives me crazy about this game is not having the playback controls available when looking top-down at the map. That's really the only feature that I find missing on here. That and I guess it's about time for some new tracks. Maybe we could get some community-built ones like Forever Drive??
I contacted the dev this week to ask if we can expect any further updates/content and he replied that they aren't working on anything at the moment. Not sure what everyone else thinks but I could definitely use more tracks, and I would gladly pay for them as an iap, maybe 69p for a couple of new tracks. I wouldn't expect too much tho as the dev seems to have ignored almost all user requests to date, eg more game modes, fix the notification badges etc..
^^^^That sucks big time. Very disappointing. You do have playback controls when looking overhead. Sort of. You need to press play first, and quickly press the overhead camera.
It does suck, but they did give decent support to the game and I don't think it sold as well as it probably should have, even though almost everyone who has it probably still plays it daily. I really think it would be awesome to see a sequal. I would personally want to see all the original tracks, ability to play across original and sequal, and ability to move all your current games to the the sequal. Then there would be no reason not to upgrade then, and I think they would probably have enough momentum to get high up there in the charts.
Im guessing that the broken badges has taken a big chunk out of the player base and the word-of-mouth: new players dont get a good impression when a game sits stuck in limbo because someone doesnt know its their turn. Thats the only actual bug I can think of, but it really slows down gameplay unless everyone in the game is a pro who knows to keep checking manually. I hope that one fix happens, because its all this great game really needs! (I also think theyd sell a ton more IAP if they just gave you ALL the decals at once for .99. Because only the tiniest % of people would ever buy more than one set anyway, whereas a much higher % would pay .99 for a really big set.)
Whatever they add on to DD, I'm buying. Best app on my iPad, hands down. Unbelievably fun. I always have 18-19 games going (must keep one open just in case) and play a lot with the same people. We even have oen group, two Germans vs. two Americans vying for bragging rights for the two countries.
Here's a quick wishlist for the next version (or added to this one): * Export last 2 moves to video (possible youtube integration) * Tweet race results * Camera navigation in the top-down track view * Universal build I bet a $.99 Universal build would do really well with all of the new iPad owners out there right now.
For those of you with iPads, do you prefer playing the iPhone version in 2x mode or the iPad version? I don't have the iPad version yet but it seems that you would have a better advantage in 2x mode. Am I missing out by not having the iPad version?
Yes, but you guys talk so much, I can't keep up. LOL! This is my most played game on the platform too. This and Ascension. Signed, The (Relatively) Quiet One.
Figured I'd come on by this thread again and just say that I am STILL playing DD everyday even after a full year. If you want to start a game with me then feel free. zman2100. I'm hoping they release a new update soon as it has been a little while since the disc customization update. The dev hinted at me that he may be looking to implement a save replay feature, but I definitely don't think he's done supporting DD yet.
Asynch isn't always the answer. Food Fight is not a good asynch game at all and should have had live online, and probably only live online. That game is absolutely no fun played asynch and doesn't do the real game justice. Asynch is so perfectly suited to Disc Drivin', though. It would be even more perfectly suited if it would update faster, though, so when people are online at the same time we didn't have to quit and relaunch over and over to get timely updates.
A full game would likely take too long in one sitting with 3 or 4 for my tastes, so async is fine by me. Actually, it would be perfect to have guys online for 10 minutes at a clip but the more players in the game, the harder that is to accomplish. Ticket To Ride Pocket is the perfect async but I'll play Food Fight, no problem.
