What the heck Ryan, how can you possibly do all this? Seriously, I'm shocked that you can pack so much into a game...all the design, the engine (which was developed a while ago, of course I'm aware) and online/3G PVP? I don't think that even the big studios have put this much into a game. It's truly remarkable! Say, speaking of levels, will they be randomly generated or pre-set?
All levels are diablo style randomly generated =) .. every level will be different every time you enter.....-) ... I can do this because finally now I do not have a big publisher head staring over my cubicle saying "I know you worked the last 6 weeks at 16 hours a day but we have to ship it now!" ... the day job allows that... and the decades of game making experience have given me the knowledge to go forward (Big thanks to Jon Olick, Tony Bertapelli, Richard Lyle and many,many others that spurred me onwards...).. I must say though I have given up a BUNCH of my life to make this the best game on the devices.... I see this as the sole market I could do this in -) Lets get it on! =).... You should be beta testing with us! Wow it is time or bed -)... night media and others -)
I will support retina which ahold support hi resnon the iPad. I do not have one sadly as I is not in the budget ... I plan on also putting out a 3.1.2 or whatever the first gen touch and iPhone are since it runs really well on hose devices. First the 4.0 retina version though ( do not have a 4.0 phone but I have a friend with one ... I do own a version of every other device for testing ie first gen touch and iPhone, 3G, 3GS, ) Have a great day off to the day job I had to sleep in a little afte the 2am night last nighT... You can get kind of delirious at late hours sorry for the long historical last post
This morning I added a bunch of abilities befor work =) Seal of Mana Shield Health Convert Vampiric Bleed Drain Soul Ignition Maser Chain Lightning Melt Down Soul Crush Mind Bomb Psychic Push That brings the spell/ability number to 51 I am sure I will have more before I ship I love making them and their special effects =).. (I really love seeing the monsters use them on me =) )..
Well maybe if this game succeeds it should be in the budget. It's really worth getting an iPad friend. Much better gaming experience for any game, more pc like.
I have not even seen on in person around here.. .I have already said to the wifey that I need it to test apps on -) GREAT excuse... I have been tossing around the idea of looking for a used non-3G version... but 3G sounds like it is a must if you drag it around with you..
I will not ship until it is done... However, my goal is for Christmas... Here are a BUNCH of screen shots from the load screens =).. It all depends on how much I find between here and there. Currently I am going level by level tweaking the combat and quests. There are 50 and I am on 9.. I just started yesterday however.... Then I ship to the testers again and move to the multiplayer again while they beat on it... then a full release candidate build and when the testers are happy... off to apple =) Check out the screens from the load screens all in game.. =) http://missioneuropagame.com/load.php Example:
Give us a few screenshots at Retina Display resolution. It should look great on an iPhone 4! EDIT: I found a screen a few pages back. I'd just hope for some higher resolution textures in the final release, but I'm looking forward to this. The SouL Engine is pretty impressive.
Thank you sir =).. I have been playing all day and I am very happy with this bad boy =)... nothing like it And I love Dexter -).. that must be fun to work on I just finsihed the season with the ULTIMATE cliff hanger onm blue ray... ARGH.... really!!! ... no spoilers.. but dang... of all people!
I agree, that was an amazing cliffhanger. The site is a lot of work with little payoff (other than a growing Twitter follower number and a decent visitor number), but it's a fun hobby. I cant keep up with it and do everything I'd like most weeks, including my being slow this week. Just FYI, the new season after that has been airing since September. It hasn't come close to matching season four until this week's big episode. It's interesting how much Dexter is mentioned and alluded to in pop culture. Even an iOS game such as 1112 Episode 02 had an allusion to Dexter hidden in it (hint ). Does Mission Europa center around a story and characters? The game looks fun. You said multiplayer as well? Sweet.
Man I hope it picks up BUT season 4 was REALLY REALLY good and a big upswing from 3... Yes a huge story arc. 180 missions with 300+ in game cut scenes with audio... quite a beating -)...
I'm intrigued to find out what the story is like. Maybe we can get a trailer based around the story soon?
