New website features: Chat and FlashTool

  • For everyone: easy to use Chat (visible as one of the forum sections)

  • For webpage owners: FlashTool - this thing can create swf files from your recordings (including your own unofficial levelpacks). Great way to show off your riding and design skills (the idea comes from   MacGuru)

    Bug fixes
    I managed to fix some bugs at last:

    Bike or Die v1.4a:
  • Updraft didn't work well in big levels. This was first discovered by Kristopher in his  Maze Mission #05, and perhaps this is also the same bug:  Updraft bug
  • Fixed the problem with card levelpack names not matching the internal levelpack names (this prevented from loading such levelpacks automatically on startup).

    Bike or Design v1.2a:
  • No longer crashes 320x480 Palms (LifeDrive, T|X, etc.)
  • Loading large levels does not move the view outside the level area
  • Sz
    "Bike or Design" v1.2 released
    Finally, you can create your own levels with updraft and variable friction!


    "Sketch mode" is another new feature introduced in this version , drawing levels was never easier:


    Links:
  • Download "Bike or Design" (this links is now updated to point to v1.2a because of  Bug fixes)
  • "Bike or Design" online User's Manual (including the detailed list of changes)

    v1.4: New features, new levelpack, more fun!
    The previously announced "Bike or Die!" v1.4 is ready!
    Download link: BikeOrDie-1.4.zip

    This version is the biggest update so far, adding a lot of gameplay features and technical improvements (ghost bike, updraft forces, slippery surfaces, external card support, and more!)


    Along with the new version, the  New Deal levelpack entered the official Hall of Fame (the first levelpack featuring the updraft and slippery surfaces).

    Bike or Die v1.4 is coming!
    Download the first public beta here:
  • BikeOrDie-1.4beta1.zip
  • BikeOrDie - New Deal.prc - levelpack utilising 3 new gameplay features, described below

    New in gameplay:
  • Updraft (can work as an elevator, trap, create effects like reversed gravity, weightlessness)
  • Variable friction. Certain surfaces can be marked as "slippery" or "reduced friction"
  • Selectable number of mandatory checkpoints (can increase the number of different ways a given level can be solved)


    Technical improvements:
  • Ghost bike. Race agains your best recordings! It's almost like multiplayer
  • Improved map
  • Levelpacks on card. Levelpack selector can be used to move levelpacks between internal memory and card. When installing manually, place them in /Palm/Programs/BikeOrDie/Levelpacks
  • Recordings on card. Just switch to "Card" in "Recording Options" and all your recordings will be moved to external memory freeing a lot of space in your device. (The full exaplanation of this feature and its benefits would not fit here, i will describe it later)


    Bugs/Compatibility issues resolved:
  • No more annoying pause when dying (experienced on NVFS devices like Lifedrive, Tungsten 5, Treo 650)
  • Better power management (does not run on full power when not needed, eg. in pause, map)
  • Pause automatically when the device is turned off

    Total Race, Golden Club and more!
    The Hall of Fame database was reorganized, this allows me to add more sophisticated rankings, like  Total Race and  Golden Club.
    Ranking history is now much easier to extract so I have placed it in the profile. And you can proudly display your BoD achievements on the web using the new image button (bike.toyspring.com/plbutton.php?p=XXXX) like this:

    2 Years On Bike!
    Yesterday was the second anniversary. I have prepared the traditional ranking chart
    This time it begins where the previous one ends (the picture would be too big in a single piece).
    Enjoy! Part 1 (2004-2005) and Part 2 (2005-2006)

    I'm also working on a number of new features for the site and the game itself, stay tuned!

    Video Jigsaw
    The new Toyspring toy is not yet released, but you can try the beta version here.

    Edit 12-Feb-2006:

    "Bike or Die" Birthday
    Yes, this game is one year old. Actually it was on 12th July but the usual ranking chart preparation took longer than expected. Click here to see the chart. This time it is really big! (0,5MB)
    Can you trace your Hall of Fame history back to the first day?

    "Bike or Die" in Spanish
    At last! This translation was started by Alexis Sánchez from tecnopalm.com and finished by   Ricardo. I'm sure the spanish speaking players appreciate their work! Download

    Update: v1.3c on pdassi

    Video Review!
    James Steel from plankfilms.com has just published a video review of "Bike or Die!". See it here!
    This site is definitely worth visiting even if you already know "BoD" because of several other Zodiac/Palm game reviews and independent movies!

    Summer Pack in the Hall of Fame
    16 levels from the existing levelpacks were selected to form the new Hall of Fame levelpack. Most of the Summer levels are noticeably easier than other levelpacks - now everyone can earn the Time Trial Competition points!

    Czech Translation
    Marcel Dopita made a Czech version of the game. Download it here!

    Levelpack Explorer
    Finally, there is a place where you can find all "Bike or Die" levels! Enter here: Levelpack Explorer
    In addition to the usual comments you can also rate all levels - let the world know your opinion. I hope this will help us selecting the best levels for the Hall of Fame, but will be also very convenient for everyone looking for news levels .

    New levelpacks are always welcome support@toyspring.com
