Just left my votes for I am dolphin (ofc the best) with my nickname here, ramzarules. Hope your team wins in both!
Thank you ramzarules I think the months ahead will bring many new ideas and experiences with true physical animation from our group.
Games of the Year: The 2014 AiGameDev.com Awards We didn't win, but it was an honor being nominated for best technical innovation in game AI. There were only 5 nominations including AAA console titles: http://aigamedev.com/open/editorial/2014-awards/#BestAIinanIndependentGame crossing our fingers we get the indie game
it is a great achievement to be in the top 5, congrats, i have been playing this game since it was in beta and over the month's it has gotten better and smoother with each update, it is addictive and fun, the best part is it is the only game of its kind on the appstore, happy new year and best of luck in the future
Updates Thank you, and a happy new year to you. The update had an unfortunate delay (hopefully in a week now ) - the 3rd update should be out even sooner. Lots of amazing feedback from TA members - including you and Ramz - should make update 3 even more compelling. I want to add a lot of new skins and cosmetic additions. I may do it as a "part 2" though - you guys will get promos don't worry
yeap, i can confirm that the controls and the camera tracking in the current beta build are leaps and bounds - or flips and spins better than version 1, and the devs are working on improving it to perfection! When we get more skins and unlockable stuff, it will be fantastic!
yeap! i loved unlocking the characters, for me it was 80% the fun of the game when i got a new one, and 20% when i got a new highscore!
ha ha so you correctly intuited why I asked SO I agree - their character skin progression is delightful - and I want to borrow some of that magic I think. There are so many amazing dolphins too in the wild that it would be quite a positive learning experience. Not many people knew what a Commerson's dolphin was.
i did, and i agree : it would be delightful to have skins and a learning experience (what if in an update you can squeeze in some lines for each dolphin type, or even a link to quick tap for info)
Well I think Thats exactly the way I want to do it - and be more detailed about the power, speed, and other characteristics. Instead of trying to cram them all in on the right side of the main menu, I will have one main icon in the main menu to know what you've selected, and then a button to bring up the "dolphin menu". in the "Dolphin menu" you could see much more detailed info about the dolphins you've unlocked - and make your selection.
we would probably have to get the IP rights to use that name - but we do have a bottlenose dolphin in the game (name is "Bandit")
Well its good in general - Commerson's are threatened in the wild and their very close kin the Hectors dolphins are critically endangered - infact, we may not have any more Hector's dolphins soon if they don't rebound http://www.worldwildlife.org/species/hector-s-dolphin
the only thing is, sharks are also endagered along with whales. sooo - any thoughts of future updates letting us play as sharks/ other sea creatures? i know it's very early, but is it in your thoughts at least?
Yup - but separate game. I have a 4 month development plan and hopefully 4 new titles that were already in the works.
