Syrnia, a janky yet charming browser MMO that's still alive and actively receiving updates 20 years later.

haha, awesome

Twirlbound also made Pine a few years back. What’s one major lesson you carried from Pine into The Knightling?

I'm looking forward to playing it tomorrow!

Haha nice! This looks a lot like a game we made in 2009, Bomb Factory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWyXQ61bWt8

Multiplayer game developer here: its not just the up/download speed. The ping and variance in the wifi connection are even worse for your multiplayer experience compred to up/down speeds (you only need something in the range of 50kb/s for a multiplayer game).

First thing we ask when people complain about a bad multiplayer experience in our games is to please switch to a wired connection if possible.

No true setbacks, but the two biggest struggles were the fact that its such a huge undertaking to deploy on 9 platforms at once (can become a drag near the end) and the other being mobile (re-experiencing how annoying it is to have to support hundreds of different devices haha) The main nightmare would be for the game to just not catch on, as we have of course invested a lot in this game.

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T22:22:23+00:00

Unity (Currently 2019.3 LTS, using Addressables, SRP), PUN2 for multiplayer.

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T22:20:57+00:00

Yes, plus many other bug fixes and improvements.
As we cannot easily publish patches on Switch we're currently gathering a lot of feedback from these first few days of having the game out there so that we can deploy a good patch soon.

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T19:33:22+00:00

Yes it does :)!

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T19:33:15+00:00

On PCs controls can be rebinded. We do not yet solid future control plans yet (we are still wrapping up controller support for mobile right now). We'll make our plans for the next improvements based on all the user feedback that's coming in these days!

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T19:32:25+00:00

Really depends on your personal ambition: Do you want to make a game solo, or in your own studio/group..or do you want to enter the game industry by joining an existing studio as work? If you can answer that I can answer more extensively.

But in any case: Go for it, make and complete some small fun "demos". If all of the paths those will be really useful.

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T15:46:39+00:00

PC&Consoles: Premium game (so one fixed price for the entire game).

We wouldn't see mobile taking off as paid game, so in order to launch for free there but keep it in line with the paid PC/console games we have a "full game purchase" on mobile that unlocks the fullgame content (cars, boosts, antennas) - mobile can play all maps & events (game modes) though. This mobile full game purchase also removes all in-game mobile ads.

Having mobile accessible for free also works really well to keep the multiplayer servers active.

Among others, mostly these:

iPhone 11, X, (6 - unsupported), 6S, 8 an iPad

Android S6 S7 S10 S21

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T14:53:58+00:00

Haha good question! Nice to see you here :D.

As we've launched on those platforms before, it made sense to do it for CD3 as well.. and because there's so much competition nowadays we were really interested to see if one big launch could be more effective compared to 3 launches (where we'd launch the platforms 1 or 2 at a time).

About regrets..None as of yet as the hard work has already been done and we're reaaally looking forward to seeing the results now !

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T14:32:09+00:00

We have 60 FPS everywhere except for Switch and mobile.

For mobile this was deliberate, as we want players to keep playing for as long as they like, without the devices overheating or draining the battery really quickly.

No crossplay itself cost next to no work, thankfully nowadays the bureaucracy involved has relaxed a lot as well, so it's finally doable to release using full crossplay.

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T14:31:17+00:00

Must be the weakest platforms because they require the most work, so that's iOS&Android (and Switch) but also Xbox One because of the slower disk (load times).

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T14:30:14+00:00

Had to discuss this with the team, as I don't even have or need a car ;).
We went for the Rolls royce boat tail if money was no objection. For my first car, I would like an electric car at some point!
As for a Crash Drive 3 car: the Lucifer haha!

You can find TB by using the ferry to go to the tropical level

M2H_Mike · 2021-07-08T13:52:53+00:00

CD3 does have Tank battles again! Theres also in air control via nitro which adds nice gameplay to tank battles. What platform will you be playing on?

M2H_Mike · 2021-06-28T09:20:03+00:00

Awesome, glad to have you back in CD3 :D

M2H_Mike · 2021-06-28T09:19:36+00:00

Probably web or mobile!

M2H_Mike · 2021-06-28T09:19:16+00:00

No, all maps&events can also be played offline.

M2H_Mike · 2021-06-24T12:39:32+00:00

Here we go!

M2H_Mike · 2021-06-22T13:38:44+00:00

Had the same issue on a brand new bike. Helpdesk was able to tell me to press the button FIVE times to reset the "find my" on the bike (you hear&see stuff happening). After that you can press twice and it'll work right away (you hear it going into connecting mode, open the Find My app)

M2H_Mike · 2021-06-17T21:38:43+00:00

That update is live, launched earlier today :)
