Gridruner Revolution Appreciaton Thread!

[Lamb75]

Hi! I've acutally been away from this site for a good couple of years now I'm sad to say!
Just been very busy myself is all!!
Anyway, cut a long story short..
These days I'm right into iPhone stuff - game playing, developing apps etc
So just before Christmas. I come to toucharcade to get my daily fix of iPhone news and I couldn't believe it... First there was a magnificient picture of the yakly coding base then there was the great article and news that Jeff was working on some iPhone goodness of his own...
I had always wanted to hear that but somehow just couldn't see it happening..
Anyway - I am so so glad to hear this news and look forward to the new titles and know they will sell like hot cakes!!!
What's this??? A new PC game has just been released as well.. gridrunner revolution???
I played the demo and was blown away.. I immediately purchased the whole game and let me tell you ... To me it's the game of the year!!
Hell to me it's the second best game of the decade!! That how much I like it!! (world of Warcraft if you must know!).
I think the way the game mehanics work and have been implemented , the level design, cool shafer model 3.0 support etc are all brilliant.
I just love playing the game and want to let the both of you know that!!

Please consider an addon level pack or something maybe more ships - for a fee of course!! I'd gladly pay!!!

Guys.. Take a bow!!!
Amazing work and dedication!!
Maybe even the decade for me

I think the start tutorial levels are brilliant and really make the game accessable to anyone - not just sheep lovers!!
Running the game in widescreen 1920x1280 in shader mode 3 is just an amazing experience and great for finding out just how cutting edge your gaming PC really is!!

Sorry for all the typos in the first posting above! It's hell posting from an iPhone then trying to edit the thread and scroll down to the bottom of it to do so!!

Have you tried the PC version of Space Giraffe too?

If not, you could have got that with GRR for slightly less cashy money.

Again, Space Giraffe I missed... Don't worry I'll get there soon!
Once I can curb my addiction to GRR

I'm also enjoying this game very much. The online leaderboards were a great addition. Thanks to everyone involved!

Having upgraded to Win7 (64-Bit) this weekend, I can confirm that it seems to run just fine and looks "bloody lush".

Win7 64-Bit
ATI Radeon 5770 with latest (v10.1) Catalyst 64-Bit drivers
DirectX (August 2009 redist)

any chance of putting it on the XBL indie games ? 240 pts ? 400 pts ?

It'd need working on to transfer over (from PC to 360) and, judging by the poor sales of SG on XBLA, I doubt it's high on the list of things to do next.

Since LS seems to be already working something on iPad/iphone, and I think that's LS's main focus - making other things much lower priority. LS being 2 people team, it's not possible to work on many things at once.

I myself guess porting Neon engine itself to XNA can be time consuming at least. Maybe impossible if XNA lacks some critical functionality, but not sure about that one. So I don't think it will happen in coming months or so.

awesome avatar pic- john simm is a brilliant actor, i hope i spelt his name correctly.
It's a shame that i won't get to play GRR- i do not use my lappy or pc for games at all, and i won't start now- it's slow enough !!

How I missed all that ...

In my defines I could say I spent part of this week end testing some db restore things.

Let's leave some things in the past let's say so.

Present/future : PC, iPad, iPhone, other things as soon as things will start to work fine.

Yes there are things moving, being a very busy beaver ...

I am working on about 3 projects at time now, one has priority over all, the other 2 are
Still being worked on, I can definitely say that even if of course there are "a few hours
Of air" during week end we are basically working 7 on 7 and we take very seriously
All the issues including ( and especially ) the fact people are probably asking themselves
"what the hell are they doing where are the games ?"

"working on it" is the best reply and is very true, after some things will be properly
Lined up you will see more things more often.

Extension pack for grr .. Could be a nice thing sure.

keep an eye on things, news will come.
