Hello everyone,

today my publisher has released a new demo version of RC Boat Challenge
which is available at www.greenstreetgames.com
You can drive a 3 lap race with the "Mighty Boat" in a jungle world.
The release date of the full version (in Europe) is early August.
(development and testing has been finished)

The special edition of RC Boat challenge is on the shelves in the UK now.
You can also order it online at www.green-label.com

BTW, thanks a lot for all the emails I got the last months regarding RC Boat Challenge.

All the best,
Florian

I downloaded the demo and I really like it. It plays well and I enjoyed the music a lot. You have inspired me for sure. I hope that it is a very successful game. Good luck with it!

All and all good stuff and it looks nice. I still don't like the fact that you come to a dead stop when you hit something, though.

Hi Florian,

Great Demo. I hope you sell a lot of these games.

Suggestions,

1) Make the water darker. IMHO you should not see the bottom.

2) Bouncing off walls or objects would increase my enjoyment.

3) Power-ups to give speed boost, and other help in racing.

4) I would try moving the camera lower so you can see more of whats ahead of you. A camera that had some LERP to it would be cool.

5) Waves using an animated water terrian.

6) Add some skid to the turns of the boat.

7) Rooster tail particles behind the boat.

8) Tighten up the collision rectangle on the boat and the swimming objects. I was stopping when no visual collision was on screen.


I hope you do not mind my humble two cents.

These are just nits, the game is really well done.

Congrats and great work.

Great job on the game. I really enjoyed the title screens music. I agree with Nardulus on his suggestions, there is always room for improvements. I noticed that when typing in my name there was a little font trouble with little lines showing. Not that big of a deal, but it can be fixed. Otherwise the graphics are at a decent level. I hope it sells well, and you will create a sequel with some of these suggestions implemented in the future. As well, thank you for the demo!

hi, klasse arbeit.

endlich !!!
was nicht gleich nach 2 min. in die ablage "f" kommt.
ist wie re-volt auf wasser.

First of all I admire people who actually finish something and get their idea/product sold. Great job!

I have to admit with Orange Brat and Nardulus that the collision could be a bit improved. If we think these boats in real life - with that speed - they actually behave like that - almost totally stop when hit an object - but this is the place to keep the playability in mind.

Anyway there are not too many published 3DGS developers so you are one of those we others look up to !

btw. for some reason the music volume setting did not work for me...

Congratulations and best wishes.
I redownloaded but the exe crashed my system so I went back to playing your original demo download.
Still as enjoyableas ever.
Cheers.

Nardalus it's rigth about some features. Or bugs. :P

I agree wiht nr. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8. The others are just an option. But the main things to do are 3 and 8. Because it's not nice to crash on a distant snake or turtle and to see the others get ahead, even if you have the same boats. Or I'm not rigth here?

In rest, it was a fine game, and it did made me try to win the first place, but no help, even with easy difficulty. And here comes another thing. I didn't saw any modifications when playing on easy, medium or hard difficulty.

Greab job.

Hello everyone,

thanks for all the kind words and suggestions!
I hope the sales goes well and there's interest
and enough budget in a sequel (in which of course
I can implement some of the ideas and improvements)
I got many emails concerning RC Boat Challenge and
that's wy I am convinced of its potential.

@Nardulus: Feedback is always welcome!
I like the idea of power ups. If there will be a sequel
I will improve the collision system. I absolutely agree
that this will make the gameplay even more enjoyable.
Perhaps we could do a cooperation on part 2?

BTW, I know it's hard to win the race with the "Mighty Boat"
(even with difficulty set to "easy"). But in the full version
you can unlock faster and better boats through the tournament.

All the best,
Florian
