New Bike or Design/Bike or Die features

Suggest your new ideas for future versions:

One i thot of was allowing us to make the starting point at different angles, so if we start on a hill for example, we can have a 45 degree angle start so we are level with the hill... or if we are dropping down into a sort of half pipe we can start the bike vertical...

or at least be able to start the bike facing left or facing right so we dont always have to switch

good idea, too bad you haven't proposed it before v1.4

mike flips

yea thats tru, it wouldnt have been too difficult i suppose, but maybe for 1.4b or something

Sz: BTW: your game versioning is pretty counter-marketing

Such major update shall bump version it to 2.0 at least (or 2006

Just call it "The New Bike or Die!"

Well I thought of this last night while working in the level editor...

How about directional updraft... allowing for crosswinds or downdraft

Also, how about polygonal updraft... letting us draw something other than a rectangle of updraft. Makes it easier to fit updraft into confined spaces.

These are all suggestions to redirect the force of gravity at a different angle. I think next, this game needs something really new. Maybe a mom chasing you saying, "Wear your helmet!!!"

so shed be like a moving mine that follows a set pattern of motions, and you have to time your run so that you dont hit her because if you hit her u fail...

And the dad makes sure your tires have 40PSI.

(I suppose that is an American measure, though.)

mike flips

so dads are placed in strategic locations and when you drive through them you get a speed boost, so they can be placed before big jumps and stuff

Family games are always the best!

i thought a good feature could be either having the entire level slowly rotate or having small blocks go in a certain pattern set at a different speed

there hows that for tottaly new =)

bones

also when you turn on bike or die at the beginnig screen you should be able to watch the recording of your choosing

bones

anyone agree with either of these ideas

Kristopher

Anything from "Super Mario Brothers" would improve the game, but it may be hard to implement.

mike flips

lol getting coins? mashing mushrooms... etc?

That would be kinda cool, ive pretty much memorized super mario 1

so i could maybe make the first level of the game for my new pack coming out soon?

Vega

That would be sweet Mike. Do it!

Kristopher

My Maze levelpack reminded me that this game could simulate others, especially if some features were added. Landing on moving enemies and such would make this game more fun, but I doubt that will come in BoD v1.x.

mike flips

i already started it, it is awesome, i will finish as fast as i can and will make it as realistic as possible. I will do everything i can to make it a hall of fame suitable level

but that means SZ has to wait for my pack. Ill try and finish in next few days

Im doing Super Mario Bros Original... World 1, Level 1

bones

wow how we veered off topic but thanks for acknowledging my moving parts idea ..what do you think about the opening screen

bones

also we should paint parts of levels different colors beside two for ground and two for sky
