Peter — Thu, 08 May 2008 16:43:56 +0000

So Toby was crunching on a few of the bugs and blunders that you guys reported in the forums. Please start Chase Ace and run the update…

The update includes:

AI enemy crash bugs fixed
Timing issues on AMD systems: new timing setting added - flick it and see if it works for you
Full screen switch fixed
Courses updated - no more run-time errors
File size ballooned with course completion animations

We’ll make an update that will include the level editor at some later point. And yes, we’re sorry that we forgot about it in the first place…

Enjoy! - And keep those reports flowing…

We just shot this little glimpse of a game play session. Tobias is playing a level from the demo while commenting and complaining about getting shot to pieces…

Please Give Us Your Feedback

Peter — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:16:16 +0000

As stated earlier we are planning to release Chase Ace Deluxe some time soon. Many of you have asked us WHEN exactly. We can’t say so yet. We need to do stuff to the game, while making sure that we make money on the side, we have to form a formal company and what not. But rest assured. Chase Ace Deluxe WILL be released. Soon.

Meanwhile we could really use your feedback on some topics. Please post your comments to this post or - if you prefer - send us an email at peter [at] titoonic [dot] dk.

Interview from Way Back

Peter — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 23:00:57 +0000

We just stumbled upon an old interview with Tobias on GameSpot.

Almost every feature, weapon, and detail in Chase Ace 2 has been designed as a result of playing it. Development started with no fixed schedule, and we just added features as we went along. You could say that we created the game because we needed the game ourselves. It kind of grew out of [us] playing it.

That pretty much sums up both the process and the end result…

In the long run, we hope to be able to make Chase Ace 3. This project demands a significantly more structured development process if it is to live up to our own expectations. And more money.

…Interesting?
