I'd like to pull all the Car Jack Streets pre-release stuff into one thread to save chocking up the rest of the forum with various Car Jack threads. I'll now use this thread with all the latest news in the run up to release. To get started we have revamped the Car Jack Streets game website. You can check it out here: www.carjackstreets.com We'll be doing all sorts of fun things over the coming weeks including promo code giveaways on our Twitter and Facebook pages, a 'warts and all' behind the scenes video diary on YouTube plus the usual release of screen shots and game-play movies. We also have a very special competition based upon in game performance of which there will be news very soon. Cheers Paul PS check out the characters page on the Car Jack website to see the in-game incarnation of our "get in the game" competition winner Marto Tonev!

I'm dreading these waiting days! Will there be a lot of people on the streets? P.S. How' your wife doing? I saw in the Dev thread that she was due soon
Hey Hatteras good to hear from you and thanks for asking about the family. We are still waiting for #2 child to appear but it could be any day now... hopefully we will be celebrating the safe delivery of two babies this month - the human one and Car Jack! There will be more people on the streets during the day than the night. We still have to finalise the balance - as you can image the more pedestrians the easier certain things are.... like the road kill felony achievement and the cult leader bonus. We do have a good number of pedestrian types so hopefully you'll approve - if not then we'd certainly welcome your thoughts for the planned updates! Cheers P
I'm still a Tag Games supporter, tweet lurker and CJS awaiter. I entered a features contest, and recieved a pm back that was somewhat cryptic, from you Paul, so I prob didn't win huh ?
so,.. So what's the deal with the 3139 stuff and the green lit stuff on your twitter? I can keep a secret
Hey Rich if you didn't get a reply then do assume that you didn't win. We'll have plenty more promo codes to give away in the coming weeks so please do try again! As far as release goes then I can't really talk about that with any certainty because of the review process... I will say that in terms of content we have the ok so no worries on that account. We are aiming for a 31st March release (hence the cryptic Twitter post!) but again it depends on how this week goes and how smoothly we get through the review process. I will say that although we have made rapid progress towards completion we are not going to ship until we are happy with the game - we have too much riding on this as our first major iPhone title! Cheers P
I checked out the website for more info. It looks good. But I did notice that there was not one female character... Edit: Just to clarify I'm not criticising. I just happened to notice and was curious about this.
Actually it was mine if you recall... You complained about how it was yours and the gracious Paul decided to give in to your whining and give you a code (a bad choice i think... can never give in to a baby's demands)
Hey again Paul I just downloaded GTA 2, a real gem you got there. I am certain CJS can live up to it. Whoevers idea it was, it will be a good idea to have more people during the day. I hope there's a lot, too, like GTA 2 P.S. What's with with you and all of your clown killings you're talking about? You really don't like clowns... P.P.S. My thoughts in future updates???? I'm flattered! ;O
There are no main women characters primarily because with missions being proceduarally created it caused all sorts of issues with the localisation text strings. Hopefully for Car Jack 2 when we have a bigger budget and a bit more time we'll address this... as we all know some of the biggest criminal minds of our time have been women! P
hey paul any clues of the intro price yet? trying to justify to myself getting let's golf, rasta monkey and cjs plus any other big releases all in the same month!!! also, youve mentioned comps for promo codes etc. any plans for competitions for people in the uk?
Paul, I listened to your iPGN interview yesterday (while tearing out a wall ironically, does CJS promote destruction?) and I have to say that even just HEARING the work you've put in there has exceeded my expectations. I have high hopes for CJS and know that this game won't disappoint! Are you expecing to pick up GTA:CW when it comes out to see if you can borrow some stuff for CJS2? I have no doubt that CJS will turn a huge profit for TAG and hopefully kick off some more amazing projects. FYI, for those wanting to check out the interview of Paul on iPGN, get it here: http://www.iphonegamenetwork.com/tags-paul-farley-talks-car-jack-streets
Hey Crimsonpaw - yes I'm very much looking forward to Chinatown Wars, its looks like its going to be an amazing game and I do hope that one day Tag gets the chance to make a game as ambitous and polished! We've just uploaded the first of a number of developer diary videos to our YouTube site. This first one is just a fun intro to the team but future ones will have lots more behind the scenes material about the making of Car Jack on iPhone and iPhone development in general. Hope you like it ;-) Car Jack Streets - Development Diary Part 1
Wow get over it I couldn't read your pm to Paul and I thought of it too And I was only a stinkin junior member who never read the rules like most of the junior members on today
Paul, I too listened to the interview and you and the interviewer made me laugh a couple of times Hehe, anyway, I'm so impressed about the amount of time, work, and effort you all put into the game. I'm definitely going to be one of the first buyers, and I do hope that you get large amounts of money By the way, congrats on your two babies, your human one (has he/she been born yet?) and CJS!
