If you like the sandstorm or dexter controls I think you will like this. having both sets of controls gets tricky, because you have to have calibration on the screen as well, so the HUD has to change if you have both. Just curious - which controls did you like? (or were referring to?)
i am most happy to have the new controls, i wanna thank you guys for adapting them to your game, they really are very effective.
It was really Eli and Arn from touch arcade that convinced us to put the new controls in. they thought the original ones were a little strange - I was so used to them by that point that they didn't bug me. I'm still getting used to the new ones, but I like them better already.
You mean the old one analog to walk and turn directions, as opposed to swipe and look? Why not both? Check it (especially at 3:50). The character can walk around like in the original Ravensword videos with one analog stick.When you move the stick slightly to the left or right, he turns slightly. But you can still swipe to look around. Throw in the fact that he automatically targets his closest enemy OR target by tapping on them. Now allow him to strafe by holding extreme right or left on the stick. See, everything in one game, and it's already proven. JoshCM made the right choice with adapting them.
it was Russ that put it all in - I can't take any of the credit, other than relaying the messages! Russ is still the king of programming in my book.
Hey Josh, just wanted to let you know; take your time with the controls, it's better to release a game with no bugs, even if the date is set back. With that being said, what is the estimate of the date you'll submit it?
IF - and I mean if - we finish the last bit of stuff in the next day or two, it gets submitted to Chillingo and passes their tests, it could be submitted by Friday. I was hoping for Thursday as it would have been exactly one week when I said after we finished the controls. In that sentence I can't promise anything but it is our hope that it gets submitted this week.
I pointed out in the vid that I like shadows off for best frame rate - but you can see that the 3GS doesn't really suffer from that. I'm still not awake yet...
Good god! What are you doing with all these dead rats in your inventory! Yucks! Anyway, thanks for the new video, the controls look pretty smooth and I really like having all these options to mess around with the game.
Trust me -- there's a reason to hold on to rats. Great job on the video Josh -- that should answer a lot of questions.
