Lightning Wheels-UPDATE Pg 18

HAH! I knew about pretty much all this the morning after New Years, BEFORE it was posted. And I know all about how its going to be so much easier and faster to smooth and well....I know alot more than most people about this upcoming game. HEHE!! I love knowing what people don't[:D]

LW is way tooooooooooooooo expensive!!! 34.99 is too much

you dont know the other side of this game, so be patient.

$35 isn't that much for a coaster sim at all.

Yeah, what both ShortKid and IntaminFan said...

Hyper Rails was like $40! And it sucks(to me) But LW will be MUCH better

no man! its only fair that he can charge that much for all he's doing for it. let me just ask you this: Do you want all the things he's promising? If you do, you're just gonna have to pay full price JACK!

HR was only $25 when I got it. I got it like a week or two after release. What are you on? j/k j/k

Let's put it this way. I have yet to actually compile an entire feature list for LW. At this point, I believe there are over 100 items and it would simple be too time consuming. Lightning Wheels will also be fully boxed and the CD will come with a few other items as well. [:D] You'll just have to see what they are.

Of course, there will be a download version as well. But it seems to me like $34.99 is a pretty fair price! No Limits is what? 29.99? And there's what? 9 track styles? (I didn't actually check, that's off the top of my head. So it's probably wrong, but don't blame me![:D]) Whereas Lightning Wheels is what? 5 dollars more and its got what? Twice more of everything? I think you see my point. You get what you pay for simply does not apply here[:D]

could somebody post the official website for lw if there is one, i cant seem to find it, thanks

Smer:
Realy, only $25, well I still think it's NOT a fun sim. And what are you on?!? J/K

Lol at SMer and NitroMan. The website is www.lightningwaregames.com , however my host needs to get a move on switching to a new server.

yo, you have a comma in there

NL is 25 bucks

CW If u go to your site you get ann index with an almost empty LWForum file.

I think they've switched but f***ed up the files...

Also plz respond to my PM.

I KNOW there's more, I'll post them later, when I remember them. [:D] Also, I'm gonna hold out on the big suprise till then.[:p]

wow, erm i guess thats gonna take you a hell of a long time to build. But with all those features it will pwn NL

I hope your going to put fog and mist abilities for under ground caves and tunnels. Also(this would be a 3d sound) when you go into the tunnle or cave have that "sound" you know? when you enter the tunnle, you only here the train and it seems like it doesn't come out of the tunnle.(I wish I could explain better)

good god!! i just cant beilve u will do all that stuff, i mean thats alot or ride and features, if you do all that i will pay any amount u ask for it!

Ok, just added a few more. There's still more, yes God is good isn't he? And the best part? We're shooting for a release of September 10th. If not, October 17th. And if not that, well, we'll play it by ear. But DarkBASIC speeds up development time... in unbelivable amounts. So it is actually a very... hrm need a word... acheivable release date. [:D]

give some more screens please
i want a little bit more

Sure, but not tonight. Too tired and too pissed. [:p] I'll do it tomorrow. In the mean time, I've re-evaluated the LW system requirements. They are:

Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GhZ or higher.
2 GB of RAM
140 GB Hard Drive Space
NVidia GeForce FX 5900 or higher.
Windows Longhorn
DirectX 11

Nah, just kidding. Needed a good laugh. Later all, see you tomorrow. [:)]

Jesus you scared the crap out of me

Phew...[:p]

What a relief [approve]

[dorkhat]

had me scared for a sec to until I saw Windows Longhorn

Lol[devilish]
