Thanks for the replies and UID's I will be adding them ASAP (and more alpha testers are welcome for engine feedback). I have been a little dark for the last 3 months on an extended honeymoon and now am back into making the magic happen! Just a little update, I finally have all the graphics for the cars. They have been made in pixel style for full old school pixel loving goodness... Without further adieu...... Currently under development are the tile sheet graphics for the desert, snow, tarmac and forest tracks, and they are starting to really come alive. Updates as I get them.
Wow, its been a while on this update, but I think its been worth it! I have finally finished the game and Its been submitted to the appstore! First and foremost I would like to thank everyone here at the toucharcade forums for the help, constructive feedback and beta testing, its a real gem of a community, and in recognition of that I named a track after it in appreciation.... I present the TouchArcade Sprint! A list of the game features...... - 17 unique tracks - 4 environments, Jungle, Desert, Snow and Racetrack - 9 unlockable cars with Turbos - Sweet drifting physics - Stunning retro graphics, mixed with cool 3d effects - Ingame Coin pickups - Garage for upgrading cars - Leaderboards and achievements - 3 leagues of difficulty - Smart AI players - Loads of secret shortcuts - Ramps for serious airtime - Easily terrified sqishable spectators! - Cool Chiptune soundtracks throughout! Ill add some videos tomorrow... (any advice on a really fast screen capture tool with audio from other game devs??) But in the interim heres a bunch of ingame shots! Thanks for looking!
It has already been submitted. Also, there seems to be something wrong with the screenshots. They aren't showing up. Edit: Right after posting they started working... weird. Looking forward to it.
the price is going to be $1.99 ... I hope thats reasonable for a 17 track 9 car game.... Ill get the videos up today / tomorrow and Ill also make a 'diet' version with 1 car and the first 5 tracks. Its taken me a LONG time to get the handling just right, a little bit of drift, but not enough to make you plough into the edges all the time, and a super sweet little fishtail effect! Ill keep you posted with the vids and updates as I get them! Thanks for reading.
I think its a mixture of youtube and the fact that I captured the video on a mac mini..., it struggled with the frame rates I have the game running at a solid 50 fps on the iPhone 3G, but Ill be releasing a lite version as well so that can be independently asserted by prospective buyers!
I can't wait for it to be released. It does indeed remind me of thrash rally and nitro (psygnosis). Will get it as soon as it appears in the app store !
