riq, there's something special for you in second video ;)
:)
hey, the character's animation is great!
The cutscene (the one with real people doing parkour) is a really nice touch!
Hi
Your animation looks very impressive, but I can't help feeling that your art style is a little under developed. If you're going for the doodle look your character looks to real, if you're not I think spending some time on the backgrounds and UI will help appeal/sales greatly.
The game play looks nice and responsive, but I do feel that collecting bananas is a little strange maybe the player has to spray there tag on high/difficult points on each building. Do you have anything like a time trial mode, this was very popular in the game mirrors edge.
Hope I don't sound too harsh, honestly looking forward to trying it out
Dave.
Looks cool! I had no idea what a traceur or parkour was until I saw the graphics. It seems to be what I've heard referred to as "Free running" or "Buildering" in the states.
I checked and found an existing game though with the name "Free Running" already for psp:
http://www.gamespot.com/psp/sports/freerunning/index.html so I guess that name choice isn't an option for your game.
I do think a name change could really help get this noticed by US players though :) FWIW
riq and everybody
I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for advice! Indeed - we don't have proffessional artists to draw all graphics but we're trying our best to make it look something like Simpsons =)
Time trial mode will be not available in first version, but we gonna add it as free update as soon as possible.
CJ, David994A,
We have not thought about naming, thank you for your support!
In a fact there's a little difference between freerunning and parkour, so we will try to use tags to associate game with freerun and buildering, but keep original name.
Different versions for regions is supported by Apple for localizations, so maybe for naming too, i'll search for it.
After all we always can use longer naming in iTunes with a little more description, so it will not be a problem to you to find it ;)
I think I speak for all of us when I ask -- just how did you get that little man inside of your iPhone!? :-)

@AkumaStreak Ha! This made me think of the original Prince of Persia game. The original one from the late 80's where Jordan Mechner filmed himself and his brother running and jumping and climbing over things and falling down and used that for the Prince's animation.

iTraceur looks great. I do think you should come up with even a basic backstory other than collecting bananas. But anyway Id want to play this game.
wow, looks impressive. Congrats!
I wonder how many AtlasSprite sheets ( I guess 1024x1024x3 ? ) did you use to cover all animations?
Did you perform all animation actions using green-screen? Otherwise I can image the extra pain you've put into this.
Great!
Codemattic, thanks for interesting video - i remember this game on XT =)
There will be some story, showed by video between levels.

Thank you. Actually only 2 1024x1024 atlas sprites, but without green scren, just actor, Full HD camera, operator and streets of Moscow =)

Hi ! The game is awsome!
May i ask how you handle such long areas? I mean, all varied backgrounds, which i guess are not huge images one after another. Are they big tilemaps?
Thanks and congratulations!
Yes, there are big tilemaps.
Levels constructed with Gimp + xcftools.
Atlases created with Atlas Creator (old version).
There are some optimizations, if you interested - i can show some code here, on Cocos forums.
Hello everybody!
We just finished porting iTraceur to the iPad with some extra improvements, hope you will like it!

Thank you! Yeah, have to do so =)
Riq, i can't see the whole video now, but after looking through 38 seconds - i can say - yes, this looks like parkour practitioner (traceur). I don't know this guy, tough =)
Very risky movements, if guy is really experienced traceur with good physicality - probably he can do these things safely. BUT!
It's not a good way to promote parkour with such videos. Parkour isn't extreme - it's against extreme. If you practice parkour right - you train in safe zones, to get prepared for extreme conditions.
Danger zones CAN be the part of the training, because good traceur must train not only his body, but also his mentality.
But in a fact i wouldn't and never done such things like in this video after 5 years of trainings.
iTraceur 1.4 for iOS is FREE now!
Please, show your support and retweet @parkourDev & @iTraceur
Thanks a lot!
