    The graphics look GREAT - well done!
  • ShadowMoonShadowMoon Member Posts: 146
    yea i just read the reviews...not that good. i guess the loading time problem?
  • 3xL3xL Member Posts: 676
    I just got off my app device app and noticed this game was there. Well it seems loading is an issue in the reviews.

    You artist is boss! ... By the lag issues in the comments, I guess it means you just need to do more testing in future.
    Also state what version/device of iOS it runs best on. :) Definitely a step in the right direction and once you fix the bugs it should come sweet.
  • ashtmjashtmj Member, PRO Posts: 405
    Wow! I did get some angry reviews! haha
    all and all I think the game came together pretty well, and we'll only be improved by updates, but that's just me :)
    glad you like the art guys! did anyone download it, and if so, do you have any thoughts on ways to improve the controls in the next update?

    Thanks much

    @ashtmj I had been following your development post, and was really excited to play the game! It's really good. The only complaint I have are the gun controls. I personally find it difficult aiming the gun. In my opinion, the gun controls could benefit from being constrained to the touch position (obviously using vector to angle). Other than that, great work and congratulations
  • mmzbrmmzbr Member Posts: 311
    I bought the game, and I agreed with @adalpilscaza you just need tweak the aim control better and wait the future gamesalad without LUA to get better loading times and your game will be a hit for sure. Hope the bad reviews doesn't obfuscate the rest (great graphics and sound/music, nice atmosphere and storyline) and future updates with improvements. Keep the good work forward and congrats again @ashtmj

    Is there an iPad version coming? (Having got one recently it's kinda crappy going back to the little ipod screen). So would rather play your game on ipad.

    Looks great man! good look with everything.
  • ashtmjashtmj Member, PRO Posts: 405
    @mELTINGsKYsTUDOS Thanks!

    @HoneyTribeStudios Yes, I'm working on one, should be out within a few weeks. I can't believe I didn't think of doing it right off the bat.
    it works great for the iPad cause one half of the screen is game play and the other half is your map and inventory, thus you never have to pause, and being on iPad it loads faster anyway :)


    Video of the new touch controls, head shots, new boss, new look for the flamethrower.



    Notes on the videos
    1) sorry it's such bad quality, I record it using my iPad.
    2) this video shows the head shots, but as you'll see sometimes the zombies just get worse when you shot off their heads (fans of RE4 might find this familiar) most of the time it just kills them off in one hit. :)
    3) you can jump using the jump button or pulling up on the left joy stick, the jumping using the joy stick will be possible to shut off.
    4) now to release the safety on larger weapons you pull down on the left joy stick.
    5) I'm thinking I'll have the dash possible by double tapping the left joy stick. any thoughts on that?

    hope you enjoy the video
    I look forward to everyones feedback

    Thanks

    @PurplePandaGames ... Stop creating threads and hijacking others threads trying to get people to your youtube channel where you have your templates for sale. Its not allowed, hopefully a sous will remove the comments or @SaladStraightShooter.

    Good work on the game Ash :)

    Thanks Beefy/Purple

    Here is the first look at BeyondDead iPad, still a lot to do with the top menu interface.
    so many more details can be added to the actual game with iPad!
    one thing I was able to add, I have smaller enemies and objects RGB levels constrained to 1-the players distance from them, so they are solid black from afar and get brighter as you get near! it's a cool looking little trick :) I'll post a video shortly

    A look at one of of the unlockable images for the art gallery in BeyondDead Chapter II
    The first person to find the image in game, take a snap shot showing they did, and post it on twitter wins a limited print of whichever image they found!

    @SaladStraightShooter Thanks! It's kind of a hybrid of Super Metoid/Mega Man/Resident Evil. I'm hoping this will be the game that earns me enough to go Pro :)

    how much did u invest in this game? time and money
  • ashtmjashtmj Member, PRO Posts: 405
    @clock
    I didn't spend any money.
    I had to invest a LOT of time, it took the better part of 3-4 months drawing/programming/testing/etc.

    Thanks
