I've had to make this post from my phone, so sorry if there are any crazy formatting issues I'm not seeing. So back in April me and my team decided to make an iPhone/iPad game based on our old Half-Life 2 mod, Shotgun Sunrise. About 5 months of work and distraction later I've just submitted it to the app store and it's finally waiting for review. Feeling pretty proud right now. Spoiler I'm having some serious internet troubles these days so I don't have time to make a better video than this clumsily-filmed over-the-shoulder one but I reckon it'll do the job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsSn8xBbzUU This is the first game any of us have ever sold and it's a pretty good feeling having it submitted. It should be on the store within a couple of weeks for iPhone (3GS and 4) and iPads, and all the iPod Touch 3rd-gen-and-ups. It'll be $1.99 and there's also a lite version going up for free. The game is all about driving around hitting zombies in your truck and doing ridiculous jumps. Here's the description going on the store:
Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Yeah... that tilt sensitivity is a bit much. Can you tone this down, or better yet are there alternate controls?
Let us know if you still think so after playing it. Speaking of which... We're up on the store! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vroom!/id456621634?ls=1&mt=8 Please let us/me know about any issues you have and we'll try to get them fixed in an update real soon.
That horizon tilt is a bit too much for me. The game looks fun but I have to agree with the above members. I really like it so far, and the potential is astounding (yeah, yeah another "Its got potential" speech) but at this stage Im going to have to wait some more until a new update comes out adjusting the horizon tilt.
Yeah shame as it looks like a lot of fun but the tilt steering seems super sensitive. Would like to know if theres an option to change this
The horizon tilt needs changing it's crazy. Maybe really zombies not cowboys lol I'd love to see a remake of carmageddon on iOS.
Yep thats what i thought when i first saw this game. But please dev - listen to the people ! Try and change that crazy tilt
I'm absolutely willing to make that change if necessary, but I need to clarify whether anyone here has actually played the game - I'm not hearing any complaints about the tilt from people who have. @redribbon - the zombies are kind of the whole point. You hit them for points.
They're necessarily low-poly, since you can have as many as 20 of them onscreen at once. Their animations have been improved though, that'll be in the next update. As for zombie movement speed, depends what movie you're watching? These could be the 28 Days Later kind. I'd urge you to give it a go, you might find it fun after all. Only two bucks, anyway. Anyone who's played it got any feedback?
Hello Lacabra I hope I can help now and for the future updates I would know if you can introduce a few things in the game but first I want you to know that it's unplayable on my iPhone 4 mainly because of the very, very low framerate. However to steer i have to inclinate the iphone a lot and the car turns very slowly and the commands are too small so i lose them while i play. So... I need an update as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We'll be releasing an update hopefully this week that will address some of those issues, including steering sensitivity and possibly some FPS gains. Thank for the support.
You read in my mind. So it will be an FPS racing and vehicular-zombie-flattening game maybe with AI rivals?
I'm played this game on my ipod touch 4. i got a very poor frame rate. i also played infinity blade and it worked fine,so i don't no what's the problem.
Hey dudes there's new news on the internet. http://impromptugames.com/2011/09/01/impromptu-go-to-pax-valve-submit-vroom-update/ Any way we can get this thread moved to a less "Upcoming" area since it's out now? Thanks for the feedback yonidon. We're looking into a few things to fix the frame rate issue. Let us know if this update helps at all when it goes live. You should get a notification on the store.
