A quick update, I'm pretty much done tweaking and optimising, just trying to cobble a build together again which could be a potential release candidate! I've done another art pass on all the cars, removed the brands but kept the style. Just need to fix that audio crash and we are laughing! It's looking like Rush Rally 2 will be with you by the end of April!
I left it running the stress test last night, it ran all night without crashing simply driving all the tracks and events again and again. Looks like that nasty audio crash is fixed. Its looking likely that this will be with you by end of April (providing it gets through Apple review!) Very Excited!
Extremely exciting! You must be really happy with all your hard work. Well done and I cannot wait for the final product
Great news! Did the latest Apple TV build support gamepad? DiRT Rally is releasing this week on console and PC. Might provide a bit of cross platform interest for you!?
Hehe yes, I'm aware of this, was trying to get on the back end of this for the mobile market, but I've missed it! My gamepad seems to work fine on Apple TV once connected using the settings in tvOS. Really odd you cannot get it working.
Yeah there is another one coming which still has some issues (you'll probably get it tonight), but on the whole its pretty much there. I plan on playing the whole thing tonight and seeing it it can be 100% completed, and also perhaps tweak some levels to make them easier/harder. TBH as long as it has the initial wow factor for people who buy it, updates are no hassle. I just need to get as many people on board as possible from the moment it is released to give it the best chance of success.
Thanks! I'm happy yes, but very nervous. Alot of hard work has gone into this and I'm concerned that its just going to flop and disappear, the gameplay quality is clearly there but the mobile market is so volatile that you never know what's going to happen.
I don't know exactly how big or small the touch arcade community is, but I think it'll get the support and recognition it deserves from here, and hopefully that will flow to the wider community. You've got my support and I will pay whatever price for the quality of this title. I wish you the greatest success.
Thanks! I should drop the guys at TA an email with a preview code so they can have a sneaky peek too, so as to get the ball rolling!
Behind ya 110%, BM. I will do my level best to get my mates on board with your game, as most of my friends are diehard racing fans. Cheers mate and I believe you will fair well with this amazing game. Can't thank you enough for my inclusion in the development of your baby. Feel free to quote anything I may have posted accolade-wise.
Cheers fella much appreciated. If it wasn't for you guys then this would not be where it is today! I will be quoting people in my launch video for sure so thanks for the early approval
You have my support. I think according to information your biggest contender will be Asphalt Extreme, but you've polished and made your game from the ground up, and I'm up for supporting devs who provide great premuim experiences, especially racing games!
Version 1.38 has been pushed. this will be the last build on the current database. Any subsequent builds will be on the "live" database and they will be potential release candidates. I'm expecting to have a build for submission on Friday so long as you lot don't find any problems You may also notice quite a few art differences now, I've also mud flapped up all the cars as I think they look much better with the flaps for rally cars. Also I've done a few audio tweaks to make rally cross sound better.
