I was wonder about that myself. I'm pretty sure it's just track data because I deleted a song from my phone after I imported it and I can still race that track but the song doesn't play. It doesn't appear to be actually importing the music into the game. Edit: awesome job in the quick update, dev. The game runs perfectly now. Thanks so much.
Man, game is too good. I cancelled all my appointments//skipped my lunch//almost missed a flight. Whatever. Seeing my name on the leaderboards has a higher priority. =p This game is enjoyable at its core. We can all agree that playing (any) games accompanied by our favourite songs on the background doubles the pleasure, let alone if both song and game synchronizes with each other. Not because how the song rhymes, but the moment of jumps/drifts/boosts blends perfectly with the song; giving an indescribeable thrill I've never experienced in any game before. Aesthetics: I was never a fan of neon styles but I doubt if there is any other style that fits the theme better. Also, Ford Coupe is a major turn on. ^_^ Controls: This is my favourite aspect of the game. I don't fancy complicated game controls in general [including tilt controls]. I am so delighted to see how a mere combination of left/right, timing, and duration is capable of presenting a magnificent drift like those pro drifters do (if executed perfectly). I was at loss about why people complained about the game not playing their AM songs since I was too busy polishing my scores on the default songs. Then I activated my 3-month AM trial and got what irritates people. I am still happy with whatever is provided on the AM track section but the world would be a better place to live if I was able to race with my EDM and Mandopop playlists. Spotify integration (as I said earlier) might be a fair solution since it allows music downloading (and therefore making it DRM free [CMIIW]) but it may overlap with other existing AM tracks. I hope you have something up your sleeve, dear Devs. Very good game, anyway--I'm looking forward to keep playing this game for the upcoming years. =]
I don't store music on my phone anymore because I solely use Spotify. If they add support for Spotify I'd definitely bite because this game looks fantastic!
All I'm getting is: Authenticating with Game Center. Please ensure that you are logged into Game Center on this device. That's it. Game won't even start. No JB. So after two deletes and two re-downloads, the game hangs for minutes, before finally allowing me to play. Apple really needs a trial period.
So, check this out. In order to get the game to work, I have to click on the icon. I get that "Authenticating" message. Nothing else happens. But if I leave the app and click right back into it the game works. Never seen anything like it. Probably only me, though, whatever.
I've not found it if there is. Good game this, great for a quick blast when my usually dominant 'realistic racing' tendencies need a break. I didn't think I'd enjoy driving along a neon track with Mr Sinatra, Martin and a bit of Bobby Darin but it's surprising chill. I quite like the classical stuff too.
Hi guys, Just catching up on questions here! Yes mp3s work great but they need to be need to be added to your local music library on your device. Not currently, but it will gradually drop down / out of your list of recent tracks. Sorry to hear this. If I can get some info we can have a think. What's your connection speed like? Do you have a Game Center account? Is this all the time or just sometimes? What device and iOS version are you using?
The past day or two I've been in an epic battle with some random person over the song "Carnival" by the Cardigans. God damn this game is awesome.
We'd love to do that further down the line. One issue is that Spotify's API terms don't explicitly allow the use of their music in games, however the wording suggests that you can ask for permission so we'll have to see if it's possible. It would certainly be an excellent addition to the game.
Hi Phil, I was about to buy your game (I had been delaying as I'm short on memory on my phone) but just noticed the price has doubled? Is the promotion over or what?
So as far as I can tell support is limited to a few tunes on Apple Music. Every tune that I have tried to add from my Apple Music downloads comes up with a DRM error. Have played a few times but in the end with the limitations in both gameplay and music have found it disappointing
The launch promo is over now. There will be more in the future though. See my earlier post here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=3906171&postcount=23 ...for an explanation - there are some technical limitations with the Apple Music API - we've tried to make this very clear in the game's description and have updated it twice following feedback on here. The short version is that we can't analyse the DRM tracks so we need to create the tracks at our end and add them to the playlists in the Apple Music section. We'll be adding new playlists all the time so there will always be fresh music in there.
So now this is free? Yikes. Kind of a punch to the gut for those of us who paid the like 12 hour initial price of $2.99.
Yep, but IMO still a really good game. For some reason this is not stinging as much as I thought it would. I don't know why they keep doing this. It's only going to make people pissed.
