AhmedElyamani Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah I've seen this game earlier, Very nice! What I really like is the website and how great with scaling it is! It's really amazing , and sounds like "now this is what html5 is for"! I have a silly question though , is this a sequel of Canvas Rider? and are you the creator of that other game?

Bodman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks for your support! Ya , did my best to get it as responsive as i could on all resolutions is this a sequel of Canvas Rider? As for your last question. its not a silly question at all. Canvas Rider was developed by a someone who de-compiled the flash version Free Rider 2 and converted it to HTML5 / javascript without permission from the Free Rider 2 developers.Obviously a serious issue, with legal ramifications, so I won't be getting into any more details,Basically Canvas Rider was using unauthorized Free Rider code and was not a sequel. Free Rider HD is an official sequel where we are working with the original creator. Canvas Rider is no longer being developed.

owendeery Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Wow, this is very full featured. The whole interface is beautiful, very clean and very fast. I like the ability to see 'trending' tracks as well, it definitely seems like it would keep people coming back if there were constantly new popular tracks available.

Bodman Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 @owendeery , Thanks ! Glad you like it. We utilized the Reddit algorithm for trending tracks. We should see better trending results once we release our track creator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erichate Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks everyone for the positive feedback so far! With FRHD we put a lot of effort to make it compatible with phone, tablet and desktop/laptop players to maximize the benefit of HTML5, so many HTML5 games out there just target one or the other. I haven't seen many, if any sites pull that off well. If you have any feedback from testing it out let us know, will help with our development efforts. We already have a strong community building around the game which has helped us address a lot of issues early on but having developer perspective may introduce some things that we may have missed. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userbarna Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Congratulations! Great work. Besides I like all the web interface like the leaderboard with the best times and so on. Can you tell us any tech details like if you've implemented the backend in redis (usually for leaderboards) and so on? Regards from Spain.

userbarna Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wow! A great recipe. I'm just working over my index.html and script.js to keep it simple but at any moment I should start with any other aspects of the videogame. Once again, best wishes with your game. Keep us updated!
