Topic, Game "Jump Gear 2"

  Why are you asking? :P

  Was the "Funland" level updated sometime tomorrow or today?

  I think I'e more or less corrected the jumming glitch you had reported THeNiNJa.
I had to reset some levels.
The more I see THeNiNJa's "head jumping" technic, the more I think I will have again to change the engine to avoid this... So still don't spend too much time on higscores.

[UPDATE] No more head jumping :) I think the engine will not change now. Sorry for the troubles.

  Wow, you were lucky there jp. :O

Not the best birthday present for birjolaxew :(

  Well jp i don´t think i gonna play Jump Gear 2 anymore after the new update :(

  Sure you will be added in next waves. Here are the testers coming next :

lineplus
nightshade1
madssdam1332
BenTen
Akiller

I've managed to reproduce the engine glitch THeNiNJa was talking about and I think the engine need to be chanegd a little. It will not necessary impact the ghost replays, but I guess it's better not to spend too much time on the best scores until this is corrected ( @birjolaxew ;) )

  Hey i was, jp. If you could me tester please..?

  can i be a tester? (as long as its not very complicated)

  With my epic Headbouncing/Headbanging technique, i've found a GREAT shortcut in Backwards Climbing. I suggest that you fix it (The level). :)

  I've only seen it like 4 times. But it gives advantages... I've completed "The big jump" by birjolaxew very fast because the bug occured.

And thanks for making my level official! :D

  Hey geckojsc, I need to reset the levels because the scores have been achieved with the former engine (ghost replays are not valid anymore). I've already reseted some levels, now I will review all levels, and reset all scores where it is necessary. And then it should be OK.

[edit] now all necessary levels have been reseted.

Note that if there are some bug that needs to engine to be corrected again (like the one reported by THeNiNJa below), there is always a possibility that the scores haev to be reseted again.

  For some reason I have to complete levels that I've already done and I can't play the levels I've already completed until I do the levels before it.

  Thanks JP, remember that i will change it if that gets nescessary. :)

I've found a bug that rarely occurs... The wheels get messed up when you land and you jump VERY, Very, very far.

  I've added the confirmation box in the editor (thx for the feedback).

I've accepted the level to see how it goes on others computers. The performances of the engine has not been modified, so it doesn't change anything for me. Btw, I didn't manage to complete the level yet :).

  Thanks JP! I really don't think that powerup's fit the game?
I agree with gekojsc, and nice update!
How are you expiriencing my level after the engine update?

  You seriously need to add a confirmation to the "track erase" button! It's so easy to accidentally click on it by mistake.

  Oops, there was a small update in the editor that seems to fail :) I need to fix this (in a few hours I'll edit this post when it's done).

[EDIT] the editor is repaired now!

I don't plan to add powerups at first. It's too much work and I prefer to see how will react the players. Then myabe I can make a jump gear 2.1

  Well, I love the game right now. Are you going to add powerups etc?

The level editor isn't working, but that's probably just because it's in the test phase.

It's a very good game!

  Yer what happened to the editor?

  I think that some of the testers will be against this update, as it is a major change. I guess it will take a while for them to get used to the engine, but i'm sure they will. While this update removes some possibilities, it adds some aswell.

But what has happened to the editor?

  Thank you so much!

[edit JP] You're welcome, I've added you before others in the waiting list because you had posetd very early in this thread but I was not sure you watned to be tester. Now I'm waiting your feedback about the game ;).

  I'm really sorry for your scores, I know you spent a lot fo time on the game but you will certainly make better scores now. Btw, wait before everybody agree on the new engnie before trying to get the best scores.

OK I've removed the arrows ion the wheel.

  [Positive Feedback]:

* You have certaintly succeeded at the obstacle thingie. I can do funland without jumping now.

* You can still "cablecar" even if you have one wheel on top and the rest under.

* I don't think that levels will be impossible? Overall i think it's a very nice update.

---

[Negative Feedback]:

* I think both wheels should turn orange, instead of the arrows, as they are frustrating and i think most people know which way the wheels are turning.

* Noes! My scores! =(

---

You want remove the ghost rider, it will be working again with the new scores, right?

Does this have any influence on my level? :b

[edit]: I've just completed all official levels (but Backwards Climbings, which i wouldn't have been able to do anyways), confirming that it's not impossible.

  If really everybody don't like the new engine, I can go back easily.
The game is in test phase, and scores can be reseted at anytime during this phase.

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer the new engine becasue it's not easy for casual players that only the front wheel accelerate.

  What! Reset all score! Are you insane! I have used weeks at getting my scores! The wheels look ugly now and is frustrating when playing. It´s to hard to get up again when you are on your head, and what is the obstacles that is to hard?

  [ENGINE UPDATE]
Sorry the ghost replay will not be valid anymore, and I will have to reset all scores.
Now the 2 wheels are motorised, because I found it hard to pass certain obstacles without this feature.
Some level might be very hard/impossible now. I will make some little adjsutements to the engine.

I wish o nkow your feedbakc about this new engine, and the opinion of new testers
blueboy, Friend and geckojsc.

  How about an ability to choose if the finish is vertical or horizontal in the editor?

  Please may I be a tester?

  Yep.. Try adding the code i just made instead of link. I made a little more that you maybe can use to something.

  Ok. This is what i'm thinking about for the start of the level: http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq322/THe_NiNJa_photos/highspeed.jpg
Then just whirling alot more before going into something else.
BTW accept me as a friend at steam.
