Thank you, thank you, thank you all so much! Thank you sous chefs, quantumsheep, butterbean, gyroscope, firemaplegames, jonmulcahy, tshirtbooth... wow, you're all here...! ...for your overwhelming feedback, but especially thanks to you guys because all this work wouldn't be possible without your support on these boards.
@ Butterbean, yes, of course, this was totally inspired by Castlevania! But not for the horses, actually, I didn't even know that the hero was riding in one of those games...
@ 8BitGrenade, no, this app is just one day old, so I guess I shouldn't expect any features on iTunes right now... ;o)
Thanks @ Chunkypixels! Especially for the "team", as I'm doing this stuff all alone... ;o) No, not exactly. The music was made by a friend of mine.
I was just about to go to bed, and now Apple asked for art assets... Wow, that was quick! So, seems like I won't get too much sleep tonight... Ah well...
This is truly amazing! I have been playing this when ever I can sneak away from my family! It's super fun and you attention to detail is inspiring! I hope this becomes a megaHit! You deserve it!
At first I was wondering if it was too soon for a halloween title, but if apple is going to give you a larger icon somewhere on the store it might mean that you will be able to sustain strong sales all the way through the halloween season!
@Gamesmold! Congrats on Apple asking for art assets, it's an amazing game, and such a stunning example of what can be done with GS... so glad you're apart of this community to show everyone what GS can do!
That's awesome, I figured it was inspired by Castlevania!
Akumajo Dracula X was only released for the Turbo Grafx CD in Japan, I had a copy awhile back, and it reminded me of the intro scene where there were horses coming out and I believe he was standing on the back of the carriage fighting off enemies, before heading into the levels.
I believe the Wii has that game available for download in the Virtual shop so you can take a look! I think it's under Castlevania Rondo of Blood ...
Just purchased on the Mac and got a score of 11,763, am LOVING this game, it's not your typical endless runner, there are some neat powerups, bosses, and elements, as well as new backgrounds!
11763 meters, congrats Butterbean, that was already stage 5, was it? Another 1000 meters and you'll meet the stingray mermaid. )
Well, that tipped the scales for me to get around to buying it! With the quality and calibre of this game and for $0.99 (£0.69) it's a no-brainer as they say...
clike said: Downloaded. Congrats @gamesmold One question: the wagon, horses, driver, ... is just an actor?. Awesome work!
Thanks Clike!
No, not one, LOTS of actors... :-)
Actually: Three invisible colliders for horses and coach, one for each horse graphics, one for the coach, one for the driver, one for the lantern, one for the whip, one for each horsewing, one for each wheel, one for the reins/leash, one for the joint bar connecting coach and horses.
Makes 15 actors altogether for the whole stagecoach - and a lot of trigonometry ;-)
It even have been 16 once, when the girl inside was also moving, but then I thought that this would be over the top, as you wouldn't have noticed the difference.
Wow..... great score! I love the BG for that level... I wonder how far we'll have to go to see the ending? That sure looks like a final level BG to me....
I find that I can get a higher score in the Mac version than the iOS one... will have to compare again tonight
Thanks! Yea, I feel like I'm so close to the end each time I get to that part of the game, but it's always a lack of power ups, and some excitement that loses the game for me
