Our fine friends at Flashbang are at it again... I know the site is just teaser art right now, but you know as well as I do that it'll have physics, so go on, speculate.


...


Why aren't you speculating? I will turn this car around and we will go home right- ... sorry.

But other than that, as the image name says; SUPERAMAZING!

I love the way their games don't have fancy names
just games that exactly describe them

"well it's an offroad velociraptor safari, what shall we call it?"

Axonn
02-14-2008, 12:18 PM
Hey, I already talked about this in the Off-Road Velociraptor Safari topic in the Feedback Request forum! Ah well. At least there's a topic for the game now. Didn't Matthew say something about Jet Pack Brontosauruses on Off-Road Velociraptor Safari's main page before the game was released?

what do you do in this game?
jetpack-fight other dinos?
play multiplayer against other dino people for universal domination?

muffinmonkey
03-04-2008, 06:36 AM
That's by far the best dinosaur ragdoll I've ever seen (well, on par with the ORVS one)

and that stegosaurus defines the letters awsm

but best by far is the caption:
Splendid jetpack dreams of the Apatosaurus named Brontosaurus.

sakiskid
03-04-2008, 10:21 AM
AWESOME!!! That picture is awesome!!!! First time going there,
also whats the concept of the game? Are dinosaurs gonna be flying in space randomly? Maybe hit a few astroids?

edthefirst
03-04-2008, 11:47 AM
I noticed in the Debug footage the Purple Dino had cylinders attached to it. I am assuming those are going to be the jetpacks.

Axonn
03-05-2008, 12:02 PM
I wonder, is this going to be a browser game, or will we have to download it? Also, when's the first preview version of the game going to be released? I'm not going to be missing out on this project, unlike with ORVS.

that post, is the answer to your question. that's why it was quoted. you did something childish. you posted something that doesn't make sense, on purpose. that's the problem.

i'm not your father, but that doesn't matter.

what matters is, that you need to rethink about what you said.

No i dont, the discussion we had before cleared everything up, i told you the reason that i thought it was racist and it was a valid reason and then i went on to tell you how it was a so called "corporation" instead of the asian police force the whole discussion wouldnt have been needed. Plus how is having valid reasons for calling something racist being childish? To be honest your the one being childish by replying to an old post that was directed to someone else about something that is completely irrelevant.

you only think that there's a racism issue with ME.

nothing was cleared up, because ME never had, doesn't have, and will never have a racism issue. DICE's employees are not racists.

do you understand me?

you keep telling the SAME thing (that the trailer depicts racial discrimination and prejudice, which is not true), instead of explaining how you absurdly concluded that.

your reasoning and your conclusion are stupid. the facts that prove this, are: you didn't answer my questions, you failed to/didn't provide an explaination that is reasonable, and used dan's post ('Well thats that sorted then, thankyou for shedding light on the situation.'), as a way to try -and you failed of course-, to avoid making a complete fool out of yourself/losing face/getting bashed.

now that the problem with your statements (your statements were the issue), has been solved completely and properly. we can continue on-topic.

It says nothing about the unity games

Raptor safari
And now Jetpack Brontosaurus

Snipped.

I explained to you why it would've been and it was a perfectly good reason, but then Dan explained to me that it was a coorporation from a different country which would give them a reason for being caucasian, so i came to the conclusion that it isnt racist, when we had the discussion on that chat board, you just kept ignoring me and saying that my reasoning was flawed and that my conclusion was obsurd when it isnt, i dont particuarly want to continue this dicussion because, although you speak good English it seems that you have some trouble with our terms of phrase so properly explaining this so that were both on the same page would be much harder, if you would like to continue this discussion please PM, so we can keep it of the board.

Guys, if you want to direct a post at one individual use the PM feature. It's disappointing to crawl through two pages of off-topic flames and commentary to catch up with a thread on our own game. I'm going to personally start handing out temp bans if I keep seeing it. And if you want to comment on this just PM me personally. From now on this thread is on topic...

The Apatosaurus is animated. The early test video doesn't show it (that video is about a month old now). The actual rig is a ragdoll, but the joints have a desired orientation and a force they can use to reach this position. The orientations are constantly updated to mimic an animated version of the rig. Check the "Ragdoll Debug Footage" on http://jetpackbrontosaurus.com/ to get an idea...

There are a lot of reasons for the delays. One of the big ones is that we're preparing to launch a new website for all of our games in one place. So instead of a login for Splume, and a login for Raptor Safari, we'll have one website, one login, and a unified way to view all of the high scores, achievements, and things. It's taking a little longer than anticipated to build up the backend for this alongside the game. Rest easy that we're trying to launch as soon as possible!

the game was so laggy i couldnt properly play it but i did get a sense of the flying, it seems to work but i cant really go up and forward or down and forward which severly limits the speed at wich one can move, other than that i could fly around easily. i would love a graphics option for this game so a could get a real opinion of how it works.

i would really like to try this game so please try making a graphics option

soad667
05-16-2008, 12:52 AM
Amazing! Everything worked fine for me, hopefully. No crashes etc (i use FireFox) :D

The only "issue" i found - the controls were a bit strange. Mouse controls maybe? I think it would be a lot better that way, because here we need to fly in every possible direction, not just driving around like crazy and hitting helpless velociraptors :cool:

Overall, it was a great game, even at this stage (doesn't look like an "alpha" to me). Beautiful gfx, nice missions... Keep up the good work ;)

05-16-2008, 01:50 AM
Yeah, i just had that "online" idea too, but i guess it's something out of the question right now. I think we're going to have leaderboards and various achievements (it's going to have achievements, right?), regarding the "multiplayer" part, as in the previous... masterpieces from FlashBangStudios :cool:

A server with its max possible... dinosaurs flying around with jetpacks, doing various missions? Nah, i don't like it (that's a lie) :p But i can live without that... i must ;)

1. GOOD JOB

2. it didn't crash or anything for me (FireFox)

3.It runs really smoth for me

4.You might improve the collision detection a little bit
-I landed and were at the same spot (legs were bended) and there was the land sound firstly and secondly, but when the second timehe sound came i wasn't moving
-Try to crash land on some buildings, the bones go through

5 a little idea for later:
-breakeable bones :D (this could be the health, or a way to break the motors)

Its great but it's soo laggy xP The game itself runs quite smooth but when i press up (for example) i need to wait up to 15-30 seconds to see a reaction.

I think "unresponsive" would be the word. I noticed it too, it doesnt seem to move up and forward at the same time because of the way the jets are used, but i think it's a good challenge.

Positives: Great graphics, good controls, fly-through-rings missions that are actually fun, physics, actually runs smoothly on my machine. (:p)

Negatives: Little excessive on the blur, camera angle isn't all that wonderful.

Good stuff indeed!

Weerdsta: I completely agree with you. I seriously doubt it will ever be implemented, though. The game is fun, but it would be cool if you added different worlds to it. I really like just flying around, without worrying about missions, though.

We haven't updated the public alpha for technical reasons (we're now developing the project with a beta version of Unity, so we can't do web player releases).

In the meantime, though, we've changed the rig/camera tuning quite a bit. Video for anyone following the project: http://www.vimeo.com/1107324

Fun, but it would be better if you did not maintain a constant altitude while holding up or down (e.g. you fall while moving forward).
