    Hi all, I’m Massimiliano of Mashimo Games. After 1 month of hard work on Cross Now, the game is completely changed. It has become Swipe Land and it has a publisher: Storm Watch Games. Thanks to collaboration with Gregory of SWG, which is a nice person, the game has improved greatly!

    Now there are World Mode: 4 Worlds (12 stages and hidden bonus stages), and Endless Mode like the older game, new graphics, Tapdaq, push notifications, amazing analytics, and more. I hope you like it. Also there are a lot of improvements that Gregory did in Xcode, one is adding Instant Replay. Yes! Now you can record your gameplay and share the instant replay video with friends.

    Thanks to all people who have seen the previous post and for the beautiful words that you spend for the game.

    So… i hope you like this short trailer, soon i will tell you when the game is released. If you'd like to play the game right now, send a PM to @Gregory Storm and he'll send you the TestFlight beta.

    TRAILER

    Looks very clean and polished. Good luck!

    Did he do all the integrations you mentioned? Or did you guys hire out for a coder?

    Hey Massi!

    In what version of BB, there's a four way swipe controller? AFAIK, there's only two way swipe :)

    TestFlight invite sent.
    I handled all of the code integration myself. Just one of the perks of publishing with SWG! :D

    @Massi Yeah the gameplay is perfectly smooth and incredible, major tweaks did were lovely, specially the UI. we liked the most. Great game and yeah @Gregory Storm Good work with integration part as well. It never seems like a buildbox game at it's first look

    Amazing !
    I was trying to make similar game play for a game using buildbox but was not able to do it (the jump with an exact distance vertically and horizontally)

    Awesome work guys

    @Massi has done an amazing job creating a game that has pushed BB to its limits. All his hard work is going to pay off because I'm going to get "Swipe Land" into the Top 10 of its game category!

    Wow wow and wow again. This game is awesome!

    Top 10 of all games would be even better! ;) Hope this goes really far. I mean yes, it is Crossy Road/Frogger all over again but it has a nice own genuine feeling. The Everyplay integration is perfect in this game and it would be awesome if you (@Gregory Storm) can share how you did it once @EZKad shares his tutorial. Also, for what are you going to use notifications for?

    I'll write you a more extended opinion about the beta by PM when I have the time. But in general: it's really awesome!

    He actually used my last tutorial (the hook layer), and since he's familiar with iOS and Android code, the integration of such services is straight forward when you have the required events (those provided by my hook layer).

    but I'll share a step by step tutorial to explain how to do it for people who are not familiar with code ..... code notions are still required tho, and it's required to be able to implement the hook layer correctly, most of my future tutorials will use it.

    @Christoph If you look at my tutorial on setting up analytics and TAPDAQ using the Custom Ad function, it's the same principle but works with hooks instead. You will definitely need to be comfortable with code in order to do either method.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I actually referred myself to the seamless way you integrated it. You just have 1 instant replay button and from there you have the share button. This solution is much nicer than the two buttons in Pixel Memories (replay and share). You also don't have to push record before playing which makes the user experience much smoother. That's why I asked if you could share your part as well once EZKad makes the entire tutorial public (which I hope is very soon). :D

    Regarding the Analytics and TAPDAQ tutorial, did you post a video or step by step tutorial? I thought I read some weeks back that you were going to do it but I was very busy lately and completely missed it if you did. :confused:

    Actually, my initial integration was similar, but after some tests, we noticed that recording the session killed performance or made the game laggy on some Android devices, one those devices the gameplay become frustrating ... so I decided to let the player choose if he want to activate the record or not.

    I would go with the smoother navigation and accept the laggy performance on older devices. It just works better I think and most players that really matters will have better devices. The fact that it works perfectly smooth on a iPhone 4s is proof enough I think. Most Buildbox games do not even open on this specific device and crash because of memory issues before they even load completely. So definitely a +1 for the cleanest implementation possible.

    It would be cool if someone would make a tutorial on how to integrate these things clearly. After all you don't loose nothing... Thank you. :D
