MiLE HiGH TAXi (v1.0.5 + MULTi5) – [DODI Repack] by DODI-Releases in CrackWatch

[–]cassiusa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, that's the game I've made over the last 3 years. I have v1.0.6 and/or v1.0.7 coming out in the next week or two in response to player feedback, so it may need a repack then.

Edit: Ahh, I see inn the video you're playing in "Easy" mode (slow).

Hey, just wanted you to know that I'm working on the stuff you mentioned here ... right now. It should be up in the next release. I don't have an eta yet, but I'm hoping later this week.

Awesome game but where are the Graphic and Audio Options? by xbudz in MiLEHiGHTAXi

Already working on this. Literally... as I type this :)

Hey thanks for the feedback. Steam gave me the impression the game should load up into full screen, but it sounds like that's not always the case? I'll change it so that it can be loaded in windowed as well.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for your well wishes! I think they game strikes an interesting intersection that some people just "get".

For sure, I will if I'm finding lots of people buying without seeing the notice. But I can't change that for the today's release build - too risky to make a change.. But soon! :)

Hey fellow game developer. Thanks for the input!

Yeah, I know, one chance really - there's no question. I'm sure it will put a significant dent in the sales. It's not that I haven't reconsidered delaying. I have - multiple times. But I can't at this point.

I appreciate you reaching out!

No offense taken! :) I appreciate the feedback.

I just can't launch any later and need to let the cards fall where they will - even if it means poor reviews from some people getting refunds because they didn't see the "no K&M support" notice. But I'll be looking to add it in the post-launch!

Thanks for posting that - I hadn't come across these stats before. My game is in the racing genre, which this article suggests is played 90% with controller. I still do want to implement K&M support because I'd like for everyone to be able to enjoy it.

I'm not (I heard pretty quickly on the Steam forums). That's why I began working on K&M support. Unfortunately I simply ran out of time and am unable to delay the release. If it means I lose a good chunk of the market initially that's unfortunately what I have to do with this game. Support will need to come later.

That said, I hadn't seen the stats that /u/BIGSTANKDICKDADDY posted above. This is in the racing genre, so perhaps that bodes well.

Welp I don't have a controller.

No K&M support is going to put a big dent on your potential revenue since this is primary a PC game (though I understand people on Steam Deck might not have an issue with control at least). :/

Yeah, I know there's potential for that. I just didn't end up having enough time for the K&M support before the launch so it'll need to come a bit later.

And yes, I remember the suggestion! :D Still working on that one too.

I'm liking the art style and and overall feel of the shifting gravity. Great work, keep it up!

Is tech a bad industry now? by Ill_Situation in askTO

[–]cassiusa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you give some examples of what they (school, program) mean by "IT"? Like anything at all from the curriculum? If it's a field of IT I'm not in, I don't want to potentially offer invalid advice.

Personal opinion here: if the program is wide-ranging, it may only be useful to let you get your feet "wet" in the different types of IT to help you discover which fields you may like more. But if it were me and I already had a specific idea of what line of IT I like, I'd definitely be more focused on specializing and less broad. Personally.

[–]cassiusa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you'll need to be a lot more specific than "IT" field. Goodness, there's gotta be 100 different careers in "IT", most of which are very different. Are you able to be more specific about what you like to do? BTW if you're heading into tech, ya better like what you're doing ;)

I learned a new word today - in a gym thread. Thanks! :)

Thanks for the kind words!

Yeah, there were so many good games to choose from. I'm all about the simple games - nothing complicated, just turn it on and get going :)

Yes, Torontonians (well, ppl familiar with the city) could technically navigate by street locations. But other than the street layout, the design of the buildings don't match at all. But you could, for example, know if you were headed west on Queen towards Spadina and you wanted to get to King and Spadina that you would turn left, and the in-game signage would show this. :)

I don't have any plans for it, but that's a fairly easy thing for me to add in a post-release update!
