FREE RIDER 2 : GHOSTDOG - Make the old editor great again !

ps, I do like the teleporter tool placement , it works well.

 

Yup

 

I'v moved this to the official author thread.

Here's the deal.

I know you guys want updates. I hear ya. The plan is to finish all development on mobile by September. Im just finishing up racing on mobile, where you earn coins by placing in the top 3. You can challenge friends and send race links to eachother etc. Im busting my ass every day.

After September the goal is to start the new editor. We are going to do our best to make that editor meet your needs.

Couple thing's I know.

- You want the old checkpoints back.
Due to the fact we already have a bunch of ghosts on the db, it would be complicated. But it's something we could potentially bring back. It would have a big impact on racing tho, and mobile racing.

- You want the old frame rate.
We could create a toggle between frame rates from settings. This would change the times on the leaderboard, but it should all map up properly

- Teleporting
We're going to do it.

- Anti gravity
We're going to it

- More vehicles?
Really depends on things. I have heard people complain about track-mill adding other vehicles and it ruined the db, but that might be the vocal few.

 

Ayy you can read. props

 

is someone gonna meme this?

 

yas

 

The one thing I want more over the original checkpoint system and the frame rate is the front brakes to work

 

Yeah, we did a lot of user testing out on the streets.
The number one complaint was the front brake. You can enable the front brake by pressing forward and the brake. I know it's not quite the same, but ya.

 

Hey Char, that was kind of low from you to delete my public response to Kano. Can you still PM me what you want for this version ?... Because I have no intention to stop working on it until I have your answer

 

I know this isn't your top priority but sometime in the future I'd like an option to switch between the brakes for the people who want to

 

Yeah I deleted it because there's no point of it. It wasn't constructive.

I don't care if you develop it out. Im actually not the one to make that decision, I would have to talk with others. I think it's cool you're modifying it, but the bottom line is you can't host the code on a public forum and benefit from it. It's simply not your code to distribute. The license isn't an open source license and being a developer you should know the consequences of that and respect it. Maybe in the future we can host it on GitHub to get others to contribute to it un the basis of not profiting from it. I think that would be awesome, but it's not my call. I just work here.

We're not afraid of competition, because it isn't competition, it's the same brand, it's free rider, it's strait up stealing. The rider, the way he looks, everything is the same IP.
Listen, don't be mad at Ira, he's the one who gave birth to this thing, and now you're throwing dirt on it. That's what angers myself.

Iv had lots of people make prototypes and then be like " Hey check out what a created, you guys should do something like this" . That's awesome, I can work with that, it takes a lot of the thinking and implementation off of us. If you make a creator that's backwards compatible with free rider, that's cool.

I been going down this road for the last 5 years, it's the same old CR crew jumping on me like I'm not doing anything. Dude, I bust my butt every day developing this stuff out. I gotta pay rent and eat.

I could go on, but I'll save my energy to develop instead of wasting time with drama.

 

trackmill ruined it because they were practically invalid at coding. the vehicles were half arsed, and badly made. they were extremely glitchy, and had sh*t physics.
i think you should add more vehicles. especially the blob, which offered a different game play with multiple opportunitues, like no death, and shrinkage.

 

Ya, we would bring back the old vehicles. Not the track mill hacked ones.

 

and being a developer you should know the consequences of that and respect it
I'm not a developer I just know how to code, I'm far from having finished my study, and tbh I'm aiming at better jobs.

it's strait up stealing
From Kano itself~~~~~

Well keep me updated please. I don't want to have any legal problems... Especially since I'm still young.
I will consider a prolonged silence as a threat.

 

Unicycle and Blob especially, brought so much to the table.

The worst part is honestly that the only decentish new vehicle was the jump bike FR2ME did.

 

Teleporter coming out October 1st marking my calendar

I will have a track ready for this day

 

Char Hypothetically, if you were to make a teleporter/portal today. Would it be a single in-one/out-one like currently on ghostdog or a constant back and forth? This drastically changes how I make what I plan on making.

 

Also protip Char, for compatibility with track code, in the power-up section
"W x1 y1 x2 y2" (W as Warp, T was already taken by "targets" ie goals)
and for antigravity
"A x1 y1"

 

We would probably do consumable.
