I will do that. I also have plans for some jumps similar to the "Bomber" jump where Dave jumps his bike through the 4th floor window of a terrorist hideout with a big bomb strapped to his back. Dave's tour will be a bit more of an adventure this time around Perhaps some other agencies around the world will need him to perform similar tasks. In fact, one tentative title for the game was "Daredevil Dave Saves The World!" One other improvement to the game will be the way you setup your jumps. You will be able to control a free roaming camera so that you can get better viewing angles of the jumps, rather than the side-view only method in the last game. This will be a big help for some of the more complex jumps.
Yes, crashing Dave is definitely the best part of the game, at least for me. It's wat Dave does best!
Epic picture. And I've always wondered, how do you pronounce your name? It sounds like gibberish to me.
I found that old picture last night My user name is gibberish lol. It's pronounced "shplerg". Years ago I needed a name so I figured I'd create something nobody could possibly have. "Schplurg" is an onamonapia (which is a funny word itself) - I think I was considering what it might sound like to step on a frog haha. I guess I could have changed it at some point. Is anybody here old enough to have read Mad Magazine way back when? They were the kings of onamonapia (words that describe a sound). "glick!, splork!" etc etc. But I digress...
I loved the house of pain jump, had to be one of my favorites. I hope you add more of those in the sequel. Do you have a estimated release date? Like what season or month? I have a couple ideas for levels, one where Dave goes through a sort of factory (this one is would be like the house of pain level.) and depending on how you angle your jump and what speed your at your land on one of like 4 conveyor belts and i haven't figured out much after that... Another is like the one where you had to jump in a window to stop terrorists in the first one, how about you have to jump into a burning building (thus setting your angle to avoid flames) to jump to the top floor to save a kitten trapped inside? You could get some funny sayings by dave to go with it
There will be some rescue missions I think, especially if I continue with the current storyline idea. Conveyor belts leading through some painful "devices" would be interesting...I like that! Release date: I don't know. Several months. I won't speculate yet...I got in trouble last time I did that
Loved the original! And I dug the House of Pain jump also! I'm excited to play this one! So many more jumps! It's like 1000 Ways to Die! Can't wait for it!
Had a lot of fun with the first and will definitely be picking this up when the time comes. Good luck with it dev(s)!
Thanks for all the support everyone, it's really awesome! I've designed little games as a hobby for years, but Dave is the first game I ever went commercial with. I'll admit that making money is very cool, but having so many people play and enjoy my game is a total thrill. It's for this reason that I want Dave 2 to be leaps and bounds better than the first one. Daredevil Dave #1 left so much room for improvement...I know you guys are gonna love this new one! I'm really excited to get this done.
i may have missed this in a previous post but do you have an ETA on when DD2 will be out? it looks awesome, can't wait to play it!
Oh yeah! Grew up with that mag back in the early 70's! Some of the best stuff ever! SO many things! Spy vs Spy, Things We Wanna See, that page where you folded it to see what was really drawn! I'll never forget that! Why don't they make that any more? Or do they? So much nostalgia-I'm showing my age, here! Even back issues would be fun to check out! I think this generation would get a kick out of it still! Just had to reply-that was in the cob-webs in the back of my mind........... Thanks for shaking that loose!
It is many months away! If you don't have Dave #1 go ahead and pick it up now cuz it's gonna be awhile! See above Grab it for $.99! I just checked and Mad Magazine is still pumping out issues. From their website: Yep, sounds about right!
Just a quick note...I'm trying to get a video put together that I can post soon. The destroyable bike is looking awesome/hilarious! I'm in the middle of designing that feature, as well as building some new motorcycles. These newer phones are so cool, it's really allowing me to make a nice detailed game. Happy Sunday!
Sweet, I cant wait to see a vid! The first one was epic, here's hoping you can top that. (I have faith tho....)
It's already been topped! I'm just hesitant to release a video until things look really good. I'm worried enough about posting screenshots so early. A video really needs to represent the actual game. I REALLY want to do it soon though. When Dave crashes and parts start coming off the bike it just looks so cool that I wanna share!
