The Heist & HighSpeedChase 2
- by meridimus on
Heist and HighSpeedChase 2 are different games, we had some ideas for the HSC engine that didn't fit inside what HSC2 is meant to be so we made a spin-off game. It's actually really awesome, very pick-up-and-play but with elements of upgrade and a mission structure to keep more dedicated players interested for longer.
For example, in the Heist you'll be able to employ new gang members to complete harder jobs that will earn you more money. Obviously, gang members come at a price and will want there own cut of the stolen money so it's about balance and skill to make the top spots on the leaderboard.
HighSpeedChase 2 is all about targets (like the current version), but this time you can collect pickups as shown in the early promotional video.
Guns like Pistol and Uzi are what you'll come across in terms of out-of-the-window weaponry. You'll also be able to collect boost, slow motion and health pickups.
We've decided to include a number of sub-objectives in HSC2 dedicated to earning medals, this means you can come back to the game with fresh objectives so mainstream gameplay has a good longetivity.
So, The Heist is more of a mission based game and HighSpeedChase2 borrows a lot from arcade style games where you just want to be thrown into the action and get some awesome medals along the way. Both games also have different graphics styles so they will look like different games too, even though they're based on the same game engine.
Any questions?

just one question: how long till the release?
Lyxor— 1 Month ago
Our schedule is SandStorm, BananaDash, The Heist and HighSpeedChase 2 in that order.SandStorm and The Heist are affected by third party companies (since they've been developed for license deals). I know that The Heist will go live mid-late September and it's very likely HighSpeedChase 2 will be released before that since it's not reliant on anyone but ourselves.SandStorm is actually complete now, we're just working out the details with our sponsor. Dates haven't been confirmed yet so I can't say when it will find its way online.Essentially, soon, but we'll have to wait and see.

Banana Dash is an on-going game project. We will keep releasing them in the future too, we've got huge plans for the series inlcuding level creators, multiplayer and further new worlds.Those renders are just some experiments, those particular renders were lighting tests for some game ideas we have.Your account should only need to be confirmed once, it's strange that it asked you to do it again... I'll take a look at it, if I find it's a bug I'll give you some points.Also, seen that you've been climbing up the leaderboard! Nice work dravirdude!

So, it's probably a problem with the comments system itself. I did rush it... Usually that means things are broken. Like your new avatar dravirdude

Hey DravirDude,SandStorm is complete, has been completed for a little while. We're sorting out game licenses before the games release.BananaDash is well a truly coming out very soon, perhaps before the 23rd August.Thanks for the medal advice, it says 100% because it rounds up. Instead I'll just "cut" after the decimal place so it's closer to be correct.It's actually due tomorrow, Banana Dash world 3 — or orbit.

dravirdude— 1 Month ago
I want to re-work the whole medals section, as well as the leaderboard. I have this cool thing I want to put in http://johnnytwoshoes.com/medals/live
meridimus— 1 Month ago

mitch123456789,it's because they got extra points for finding bugs, etc.
DarkAchilles— 1 Month ago
Don't worry mitch, there's plenty of opportunity for new medals when we release Banana Dash World 3. Also, SandStorm will have some awesome medals as well.When the forum goes live, people can plus/minus your posts which gives you forum respect and also adds points to your account!
