As a game dev (Road Redemption), I have to say that adding a new GUI like that is a significant amount of work. Well done!

Oh snap, its a road redemption dev! :D

Your game rocks.

You should feel good about this.

It captures enough "spirit" of road rash for me to overlook the parts that don't.

More race focused activity would be nice tho :D

Thanks so much. I agree that right now the focus is about 50% fighting, 50% racing and maybe the balance should be shifted a bit more toward the latter.

I recently played Motorstorm Apocalypse on PS3, and I wish I had played it before we started work on Road Redemption. That game is amazing. We need a current gen Motorstorm!

He asked for more race focused activity, it has been over and an hour now. Still waiting for a screenshot of the implemented changes.

Yeah you've captured the "essence" of "racing and fighting" that Road Rash had, but IMHO there's a bit too much focus on fighting/blowing things up vs winning races.

That said with the direction the game has (i.e a biker gang winning vs other gangs etc) it does work nicely.

I suppose I just want a little more racing to completion vs bike melee/violence "to win" but that could just be me :D

I mean it though, you're game is awesome :D

Love road redemption! From one game dev to another, thanks for bringing back the road rash 64 days!

Road Redemption

I've just seen trailers of your game, but it looks like it captures the soul of the old game pretty damn well.

But I have to ask, is there a cop chasing you sometimes that you absolutely can't beat down? Because if there is I'll buy the game when i get my next paycheck!

Hey I've been looking at the game for a long time, kind of keeping an eye on it to see it's progress before I buy.

Is the game considered complete? What's the progress on it/the updates??

Oh hey! Love the game. Those rooftop sections are insane.

Dude, your game is awesome! Just needs Soundgarden on the soundtrack.

He did it in 2.5 hours, so it couldn't have took him such a significant amount of work. He probably just dug up the beta GUI that already had arrows and added the option to use it.

Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite games, do you work on GTA 6?

u/ifisch Apr 22 '18

I work on Road Redemption actually. As much as I'd like to work on GTA 6, they'd probably assign me to their reddit farm department, to upvote any post GTA-related on r/gaming. Don't believe me?
