Awesome story! What a bummer. My cow incident was pretty embarassing too because my neighbor was watching the whole thing. He must have laughed for a month straight.
Assuming you meant "milk". The "cow" I hit was actually a steer, which is male. If I'd tried to milk him I would have suffered far greater injury and embarassment than simply slamming into him on the motorcycle!!!
Just want to confirm that Daredevil Dave 2 will be universal!!! Just got my iPad 2 yesterday and Dave looks awesome on it! I'm so stoked! Full size image here. Dontcha just love the "Playskool" people in the background You can see that some of the shadows are a little rough - we're workin on getting them smoother without hurting performance. Those outhouses are heavy - Dave was really haulin' ass when he hit those to move them like that! Sorry Dave, but you're going to be in a lot more pain in the new game I saw a recent review for Dave #1 in the App Store that asked for bikes that explode. Well, I am happy to say that not only will the bikes break into pieces, but the possibility of a fiery finish is...err...possible. I guess one of the protective gear items that Dave can aquire will have to be a fire suit!
Thanks! Me too! First day of summer = June 21st. Highly unlikely. Shouldn't be too long after that. I'm not going to try and predict a release date right now.
Seriously! Looking back at Dave #1 I see so many things that can be improved upon. But it was my first game and I designed it by myself. Now, with the new game, I am shooting for an entirely different level of quality, from the menus to the design of the character, the sounds, the depth of play, the physics, level design. Everything. Daredevil Dave 2 will be so much more than a sequel. It won't be just a step up from the last game, it will be a huge leap. I will not compromise on quality and features. I absolutely love working on Daredevil Dave and I know it will show in the final product! It will be worth the wait!
Important question. Don't know if it has been asked or answered before, but so far, based on current progress, will this game support 2nd gen devices?
Probably not. The game is being built with 3GS and newer in mind. Larger textures and high poly counts. If toward the end of production it seems the game can be optimized for older devices then we'll go for it. There is a system in place that can detect devices and adjust things accordingly just in case. I have tested it on my 3G and it's pretty slow in places, pretty good in others, but I wouldn't count on it, sorry.
New iPad screenshot of damaged bike (and knee), plus flames! Working on some new jumps now which should provide for some more interesting screenshots.
I actually "stole" that slogan from the old game - it's from the "Used Food Outlet". I love making those fake ads Perhaps, but I never get tired of hearing it lol! Here's the whole sign, and a few more:
I just went through most of the thread, and I must say that this is looking very nice! Keep up the great work, and you'll have my money!
