Can you believe that Clustertruck is launching tomorrow? We sure can't. The guys at Landfall are hard at work making a final launch build, while the tinyBuild side will have to drive a truck around San Diego today.
Exciting launch features
I want to take a moment and talk about some of the exciting features we'll have on launch
- Replays allow you to see ghosts of players who have beaten levels faster than you. I found myself playing levels over and over again chasing ghosts of other players. While the truck simulation is different between you and the ghost, it's still amazing to see what others have been able to pull off.
- Workshop Level Editor allows you to create, share, and play user levels. We've seen some fantastic -- and unintentional uses -- of the editor, and are excited to see what you come up with. The weird part for me is that you can pay great parkour levels that don't require trucks.
- A full-on Single Player Campaign with tons of replayability -- you've seen the levels, and there's a lot of them. Aside from the replays feature that puts ghosts in for you to compete against, there are a ton of modifiers and abilities at your disposal.
We've already talked about Twitch Integration in a previous post, and there's a reason we're doing it. Because everything ends up at TwitchCon!
TwitchCon Launch Event
If you're in San Diego, come by and take a picture of yourself next to a giant truck we're parking in the middle of the San Diego Convention Center.
There's a slight problem though.
We need to park it there tomorrow in the morning. You need to get transportation into the hall before everyone starts building up. In order to do that, the truck needs to have only 1/4 of its gas tank.
The problem is that when you pick up a rental truck, it always comes with a full tank of gas.
This means we need to pick up the truck in an hour from this post, and drive around until there's 1/4 of a gas tank left. We figured we'd use this opportunity to visit all the touristy places in San Diego and make pictures of.. a truck. We'll be livestreaming this on Facebook from my phone, join us at http://facebook.com/tinybuildgames if you want to see what it's like marketing indie games.
