hey Georg , i am the same user whom you provided a voucher . now my game has had the same problem again , and now i know the cause of the problem. whenever my laptop has to be updated the game shows me default message and after a period of 2 weeks the game stops working. i wish if you could provide me the voucher again . please!!!! this is my last try to this game . please help . i have also written about the problem in support. i wanted a voucher for 100000$ coins. you can check , my name being RIDING FURY .
Hi, I am sorry to hear the game is acting up on your machine. I have just sent the new voucher code. So, this happens directly after a windows update? The 2 week delay seems very odd to me. Thanks for letting me know.
i thank you for your support. i think that maybe this fault is from my side and you may not have any fix for that . but i am extremely happy that you provided me with the voucher. i had been playing this game from past 2-3 months and i have been thinking that this game needs some updates. maybe some new levels , or play with friends . and one more thing money in this game has a role just until you buy a glowar bike and have it updated to its full. you must think upon some creative ideas to increase the importance of money even after that. BTW thanks a lot for the lovely game you made
Good oberservation, you are right about the late game (glowar+), there is none, except for the daily and weekly events. I am currently working on a new game (one could call it "part 2"), therefore I simply don't have the capacity to also add new features into sunset bike racer. Keeping it functional is enough work at the moment (it's a 4 year old game now).
There has been a "play with friends" and groups feature in the game in the very beginning, but from about 100.000 players only a few (<100) actually used it. I therefore removed it soon after launch. Sadly there is no use in maintaining a feature which nobody uses. I had no chat in there so maybe that could have saved it. But moderating chat is also quite a challenge, not sure how to deliver that.
I sort of enjoyed this game. It reminded me of the Kongregate game Dream Car Racing Evo, with a bit of those Trial motorcycle games too. Anyways, I made a YouTube video on this game today.
It's always nice to watch someone playing the game, lots of opportunities for me to learn. Maybe I should add a hint in the level where you have to roll backwards to proceed. It seems like you missed the "opponent" feature. Too bad, racing vs someone else makes it much more exciting. I'll have to highlight that more. Glad you figured out the first challenge, they are meant to be puzzling at first.
If I may add somehting: your voice seems a little too low in volume, I sometimes had troube hearing you (but maybe that's because I am not a native speaker). All in all a great video, thank you for making it!
Hey , you made a great game , incredible physics , super fluid graphics and awesome gameplay . I had been playing game for quite some time and used to remain in top 5 in all weekly and daily challenges . But recently in past 2-3 days my game does not open and shows error . It shows " player_data_load_failed:Arg_NullReferenceException " and also shows to tell the support about this. Firstly I re - installed the game on my device (laptop) due to which I lost all my progress. It re-installed and started working but I had played a few levels only when it again showed the same problem . Please help as fast as possible as I was addicted towards this game . Please try if you could provide with me my old data. ( in that my name used to be hero rider)
Hi, I am glad you like my game. The error you are getting means that your local saved data is somehow lost or broken ("empty" or "null" on programmer speak). I have taken a look and it seems I can not restore your data from the server but I can offer to send you as many coins as you need to get your bikes back. You will have to play the career again though (if you want to unlock all the levels).
I am currently out of town, so just limited access to my dev environment, but if you send me a message to app-support@kamgam.com I will reply with a voucher code for the coins.
Oh btw. there is a support form within the game which will let you contact me directly and it also sends some data to me which may help with analysing the error.
OK , I WILL SURELY SEND YOU A MESSAGE AT THE GIVEN SUPPORT WEBSITE. AND THANKS FOR PROVIDING ME WITH COIN VOUCHER . I HAD GLOWAR BIKE WITH ALL 4 QUALITIES MAX . SO PLEASE PROVIDE THE COINS ACCORDINGLY. BY THE WAY YOU MADE A GREAT GAME AND I APPRECIATE YOU FOR THAT. I GIVE YOU MY BEST REGARDS FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE GAME . WELL I CALCULATED THAT I NEED AROUND 25000$ FOR THE SAME. AND PLEASE ENSURE THAT SUCH PROBLEM DOESN'T ARISE IN FUTURE . I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING ON LAPTOP AND I GOT THE GAME ON MICROSOFT STORE. SO PLEASE PROVIDE ME THE VOUCHERS ACCORDINGLY ASAP.
hey but my game is not opening.... how do i enter the voucher code and even if i re-install the game the same problem continues . please fix the bug . i have re-installed the game twice already. do you assure me that if i re-install this time my game would work properly? thank you
Hm, if it does not open then please try to reinstall it. If it does not open after a clean install then I fear there is something broken which I can not fix.
Thanks, I am glad you like it. You can play on Android too if you want. Just search the Play Store for "Sunset Bike Racer".
I don't know exactly how long it took because I didn't keep a record of my working hours. If I had to guess it would be around 70 full work days. I made it beside my regular day job, so in terms of actual time until version 1.0 was done we are talking about at least half a year.
I already knew Unity from my job. If you are new to the engine it would certainly take longer because you would have to learn the engine first. I also chose the black/orange aesthetic deliberately to keep graphics work low. I am not really an artist myself. If you want to make it with nice colored graphics, add a minimum of one month of work to your schedule. I have made continuous updates through the years too, so in total it's certainly more.
The game is now in its 4th year. It actually started out on Blackberry (yes, it's that old) and also made its way to Samsungs Tizen OS (mostly known in India), even won a contest there (with prize money, yay).
I am currently working on a new bike game full-time (still in early prototype phase though).
Sure, I have create a video once of how a level is made in the game. You can find it here: https://kamgam.com/sunsetracer (the second video on the page).
The engine is Unity3D (started with 4.6 back in the day, but now it's on 2018.4 LTS).
Just awesome GAME! But Please change the sounds! And add some music during gameplay, otherwise is very boring to hear that motorcycle sound. Thanks and good luck
Thank you for your feedback, glad you like it. I admit, music/sound is not my area of expertise. I just chose what I thought fits the game. Obviously not to everyones taste. You can turn off all sounds in the main menu (bottom left). From what I know most people play it with sound turn off and listen to their own music.

Hi, I just sent the voucher code to you. Please check your inbox (spam too). Please also let me know if it worked.

Hello, this is a really great game, the atmosphere is awesome and the gameplay is fun.
Btw can I know how much time it took to make this game?

Can you guide how to make this game?

Thank you for playing.
Thank you again for your feedback. Yes , you are right. I am working on part 2 of the game now and sound will get more attention and care there.
Are you using Unity Engine for development?
Yes, I am using 2019.3 now and I plan to switch to 2019.4 LTS once that's released.
