It's a very simple game implementing it didn't take more than a few days, so it's likely that it'll be cloned as well (if people actually notice it in the app stores that is). I started working on it on the plane home from GDC, after waking up one morning at GDC with the idea more or less finished in my head. It's a small, funny, annoying little game, with crappy artwork and a horrible soundtrack and I'm really proud of it! We're getting quite a few reports of players getting a bit frustrated with all the bugs that continue to plague the online multiplayer mode, so fixing that is becoming a higher priority for us now.įinally, there's the mobile game I mentioned earlier.
FREE SPEEDRUNNERS GAME UPDATE
Along with a previous update we did, which added a level editor, the result is that the game is doing pretty well, in terms of sales.Ĭurrently, we're focusing on adding one new feature (mid-game joining), after which we'll start long the process of wrapping things up. This helps in keeping players motivated to play for a longer period of time, which is something the game was lacking a bit. At the same time, we released an update that added a Ranking system, allowing players to compete to be the #1 SpeedRunners player in the world. The Humble Bundle Sale and PAX East combined well to give SpeedRunners a new boost in players, as the bundle sold over 60.000 units. And finally, I made a small mobile (iOS & Android) game that's going to be released soon. For one, SpeedRunners was hand-picked by PewDiePie to be featured in one of the Humble Bundle Weekly Sales! Meanwhile, tinyBuild had a HUGE booth at PAX East, where they showed our game (as well as some other games they're publishing). Well, a couple of interesting things happened. So, what's been going on since we showed SpeedRunners at GDC?

We use this setup at shows ourselves and the great thing about it is that it basically runs itself.Īs always, it's been a while since our last update. Furthermore you can print this neat controls tutorial page and tape it to the monitor to finish your own SpeedRunners setup. If you want to show speedrunners at a pub or some other form of social gathering, we suggest you add +showmode to the command line arguments, and you won't be bothered by "buy now!" and "exit" buttons ). The maps also auto-rotate, so it's a very streamlined experience. And when that person puts his controller down, the bot will resume control. The game will start off with 4 computer-controlled bots running around, but as soon as a button is pressed on a controller, that person will take over control of the bot. Simply connect a bunch of controllers (or a keyboard) and start playing! The fun thing about the demo is that it's specifically geared towards a party setting, so it's easy to pickup-and-play. Other than that, it's the same fun game you know and love! ) you can only play as Speedrunner, Unic, The Falcon and Gil you can only play on alley, ss royale and theme park
