Brief Game Update...

So I guess this is overdue...

-We have halted iPhone development for the pc/mac/web push.

-We brought a new tool developer on board to help work what we need out of the game engine.

-We have sent out the initial visuals for some of the city concepts to select partners.

-Oh yeh and we have the games basic controls working in the web player (w00t).


Sorry we don't have gameplay videos or a demo, or pictures. This is how it is guys and gals. We will post up visuals and get gameplay samples to partners as soon as we feel we really have something that everyone will really be stoked on.

oh and the site will be updated accordingly, won't say much more then what's been posted here though.

We will be posting up some of the concepts for the city once they come back from our partners and everyone is cool with what we have come up with. They will then be open for discussion and critique. After all this game isn't for just us, it's for all of us, so we wanna make sure everyone digs the direction we are taking.

This "game" is such bullshit. If it ever does come out it'll be weak as fuck.

good stuff man, glad to hear things are coming along and all that.


and to all of you with the negative comments and shit talking, and to all those who will do it after i post this, seriously fuck off. You don't know what it's like to make a game, and we'll be lucky to get one in the first place so quit bitching. There's plenty of other things you can do to occupy yourselves in the mean time.

Kids will hate no matter what, it's funny what cracks us up is when they use a secondary account to do it.

im just stating my opinion but from what I've heard this game is just slaying urban rails? that doesn't seem like it will be a very fun video game.

I would rather be pessimistic and be surprised and wrong in the end than getting my hopes up and getting stoked on a game and than when/if it comes out it is shitty than I will be disappointed.

So please prove me wrong and have this game be sweet.

No reason to have an official one right now, feel free to start up an unofficial one if you'd like.

I asked him too, and he did. When there's an actual product, it'll become active again. They wanted to eliminate any confusion.

Because it was creating to much confusion and updates where being posted that where claimed as official.

Feel free to open them back up, but we will not be posting, or joining, until we have a reason to...

Apparently you were not alone in that thinking...

Will try and be better about providing updates, just know you all wanna see visuals and not just hear about all the back end stuff
