I can give you a better idea of a release date later this week. I know I said it was planned for early March, but it is being held up for a very good, and potentially big, reason. All I can say right now is that the game will have much more content now (more jumps), and will be a better all around game than if it had already been released. I do apologize for the delay, but it WILL be worth the wait. I want to deliver the best game possible to you guys. NOTE: Some people have inquired about beta testing. I don't think there will be a need for more testers at this late stage, but I appreciate the offers! Perhaps we should do another little promo code contest in the meantime?
PROMO CODE GIVEAWAY Hello there. Sorry I haven't been around the past few days. Not trying to be like one of "those other" game companies that keeps delaying a launch. it's frustrating for me too. Big changes have been made though, especially the amount of content - mainly jumps - plus a few other surprises. I have one "pre-release" promo code to give out to the first person who can answer (in this thread) the following question: According to Daredevil Daves' own words, what is "more important than safety"? I'll check this thread later on tonight when I can. First person to get it right wins a code. Codes will be given out when Apple approves the game...in other words, not right now.
WAIT!!! I want to change my answer!! i want to change it to looking good!! Looking good is more important than safety!
Showmanship Pizazz Pizza Hamburgers Pineapple The American Way The influx of monies into Dave's bank account
Dave himself is more important than safety! Can i enter even though i already won a few pages back? EDIT: Oh...well, i guess looking good is already up there. Beat me to it (if you win that is!)
BINGO!!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!! NICE JOB LUFCLuke!!! In the newspaper article that appears briefly in the video we have: "Dave is known more for his outrageous crashes than his successes. “Looking good is more important than safety for...." You've got a good eye! We'll have to do another one of these soon Thanks everyone for participating!
Patiently awaiting this one. Was just checking the thread for an update. Hopefully we'll hear more news soon. Really looking forward to this.
You will hear news very soon, and this thread will be the first place to find it. Hopefully (I say "hopefully" because I don't want to make promises), I will be able to give some info in a few days. Meanwhile, I'm using this time to build another few jumps. We're gonna get Medieval on Dave I'll post a few screenies when I get a chance. Perhaps another code contest is in order...I'll see what I can whip up!
I guess it's time to admit that I am in the middle of negotiating a possible publishing deal, with whom I will not say. Believe me when I say this can only a be a good thing for everyone. No, really! For example, if it wasn't for this launch delay there would only be 10-12 jumps rather than the 18 that are now planned. I figured since there was time I may as well keep building . The game is much more solid now too...better performance, better looking, everything. It has gone from being a quick first time game release to a more complete package. Whether or not this deal goes through, I want this game released as soon as possible. My original launch date would have been attained but I was contacted at the last minute by a few publishers and it delayed things. But, like I said, the delay has been (will be) a benefit. I do not want to be one of those devs who release a half-complete game with promises to add more content later. This sucker is going to be bad-ass right out the door! Here are a few screenshots to check out. The castle jump is one I am working on right now. In fact I took a break from it to make these screenshots and reply to this thread. It is still being constructed (the castle and everything else you see) so it's a little rough. For instance, I need to add the battlements to the top of the towers (doing that today). This jump has two possible paths. You jump through windows in the castle "Keep", one is higher than the other and worth more prize money. there are also two landing platforms. This final screenshot is a re-vamped loop jump. The object is to go around the loop, jump through the fire (yes, Dave is set ablaze) and finally, hopefully, land in the water tank where Dave's flaming arse is extinguished I apologize for the delay, but as I said, the game is far FAR better now because of it. This is going to be a kick-ass game and will be well worth the extra wait time. I will have another code contest as soon as I can. I have tried to answer all of your emails. Please keep 'em coming! Thanks to everyone for hanging in there!!!
