hello Deen

to summon deen u need to type: need deen

You need to sacrifice 3 tees for deen to appear

YI: hi

Ryozuki

You need to sacrifice 3 tees for deen to appear

fng time

I've gotten your email and responded. But we can also chat here if you prefer

hello deen

08:51

sorry was in a meeting

08:51

just saw ur email and message

08:52

are u still there?

yes

ok,cool

08:53

first, appoligize for made a demo and post the page without tlking to u

08:53

i played DDrace over 400 hours and half an year, really like it

I think our license allows remixing etc, so that's fine

08:54

Great to hear that you enjoyed DDNet :)

08:54

I think it's a bit hard to make the game work on mobile though

really really hard

:D

08:55

We once had an Android version, and removed support for it again since it was only useful for watching

without mouse it is quite hard to do a lot of things

Accurate mouse input is super important, so not sure how to fix that

i like the idea players help each other, even for mobile they need a way to connect eachother

08:57

about ur email, i understand if we want to make it opensource and free to play, it is just that we have cost

Yeah, I figured

actually i made this demo alone by myself(program and art)

cool

and we have not decided how it will goes in the future

pog

(btw, this channel is connected to our discord server, thus the people from bridge can communicate too)

like me xD

at first we want to see if people like it, and in the future maybe make it a F2P game with in game purchase

Hello from the other sideeeee

yeah, that's probably easier to make money with than pay-first

no, that is always not a best choice for mobile game

09:01

what i want to say is, at this time, we are not sure if we will go and finish the game, either make it open source like u suggested, or make it a commercial mobile game with in game purchse

09:02

if we choose the 2cd option, how should we get an authorize from you?

2cd?

if we make a Free to play game with in app purchase

Ah, if it's commercial, I don't think you should call it DDraceNetwork

we didn't called ddracenetwork and will not do it unless get ur permission

Would still be nice to credit DDNet, but other than that I think our license allows you to make a commercial game out of it already, so should be good to go

now the name is forest friends

Plus you're not taking any code or assets. I think you are free to do whatever you want as long as it is not associated with ddnet or holds ddnet with liability.

well, if we are going to make it commercial, we'll do it properly, we want to make it in the right way, get ur permission, cradit DDnet etc

09:06

do u have wechat? or other way for easier communication? or email only?

Discord I guess

I don't have wechat at the moment. If we need to communicate more, I can get it again I guess

09:06

Discord is blocked in China, isn't it?

I mean I'm here

right, blocked

09:07

aha, ok, if u want to reach me email is ok, oh maybe ur chinese friend want to contact me that is also ok

09:08

i am ddrace player, we don't want to "steal ddrace" to earn money , we want to make it properly

Nah. I don't have any say about the name "ddnet". Which sounds like your intent.

Sure, I understand and appreciate you reaching out

thx,mate

I should leave you guys to it.

And making another game based on DDNet is a form of praise in my mind

09:09

TsFreddie: :D

and to let u know at this time, our demo is compleltely free and we trying to test on Taptap, and once we decide to make it open source or commercial, i'll keep you updated

Ok, cool

09:10

I don't have an Android phone to try it out unfortunately, but the video looked nice

i did give up a lot of things on mobile :(

09:11

the connection between 2 players do not break , to make it easy enough :P

Oh, and sorry about the guys giving bad ratings. Maybe it helps if you credit DDNet somewhere in the description

09:11

And some kind of autoaim to hit other players?

yeah, i'll add "ddrace discribtion" on our page if u allow us to do it

Something like "based on DDraceNetwork" is fine.

some kind of autoaim to hit other players? sorry i don't understand, my bad english :(

09:13

ok,will do it soon today

I can translate

Thanks

actually this demo is toooooooooooo easy for DDrace players

Do you have to use the touchscreen to exactly aim at the other player? Or will the game help you hit the aim of hook perfectly?

yeah, i did that

09:15

and don't like it :(

09:15

anyway if u got a chance to test the demo and give ur suggestion will be great

09:16

i did added something more to make the game funny, not 100% copy

ok, nice

wish u'll like it

There a video I can see? Just curious..

It's on https://www.taptap.com/app/211037

so i'll first add discription of DDrace on our page, and we'll continue for test the demo and see if chinese mobile player will like it

09:17

by the way, can we pose ur steam page link ?

09:17

on the page?

Yeah, sounds good. Good luck!

I'd be careful about phrasing the credits tho

Yeah, sure, that would be nice too

ok

09:17

thx

TsFreddie: Why?

I'm afraid of people attacking them depends on how they phrase the credit in chinese.

09:19

Chinese as a language is pretty weird when giving credits. I've seen it came across wrong before in other games.

09:21

not that I can make better description tho.

hello deen, i am back

09:53

was in a phone call

welcome back YI

onething want to make sure with u

09:54

can we write on our page " get permission to test this demo from DDrace team" ? to avoid other DDrace players for bad words

09:54

and as i mentioned, at this time , it is only free game test, if we will make it commercial later, we will tlk with u and ur team for official permission

YI can you show us what you have already? Do you have screenshots or a gameplay footage?

I think that sounds a bit too close to us cooperating, which is not accurate. I'd prefer something like "is based on DDraceNetwork, which allows modifying and redistributing the game". Since basically our license.txt already allows all of that

09:57

09:57

there is a video

09:57

nope, it is by Unity

i see

09:58

haha the music is scary af

a lot of bugs i have to say :P

i mean if you rewrite the engine and change physics maybe you get it to work on mobile more smoothly

10:00

oh u plan to release on iOS?

thx for suggestion, at this demo we want to test if people like such game play on mobile first

yo

about ios, no idea yet

10:01

:-)

teeworlds to ios pog

multimap the game :D

ok, deen, understand, we'll update the page now

i dont think its viable at all to have a game like ddnet in mobile unless to spectate people

yeah gonna be cancer to play

10:02

but still... why not XD

10:02

if u just walk and jump and use hook to get over gaps, its ok

YI: thanks

but u cannot make such an action loaded game ofc

10:02

but for actual dragging or stuff like that its bad

yeah it is super difficult to make it on mobile

yeah

10:03

unless you use a dongle to connect keyb + mouse which is a option but why not just use a laptop (edited)

i think the best way to "praise" ddnet by making another game is to do stuff like tsfreddie did

10:03

they fit much more a mobile game

10:04

in my opinion*

that louis game? (edited)

ye

dude yeah
