Tractor Pulling Game for Android December 20, 2012 03:41AM


Hey everyone, I have just released the first fully 3D game for Android phones and tablets!

Full Game: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.michaelbowen.tractorpulling
Demo: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.michaelbowen.tractorpullingdemo

Here's the game trailer:





Tractor Pulling is the first 3D tractor pulling game for the Android OS, with over 500 events and 20+ tractors!

Uses OpenGL ES and jPCT for 3D Graphics and high quality sound effects to place you directly in the seat of the worlds most powerful tractors.

NO ADS and NO PERMISSIONS!

Features:
Currently 20 tractors over 5 classes: Antique, Super Farm, Super Stock, Limited Modified, and Unlimited Modified.

Includes tractors all the way from a Farmall M to a John Deere 4020 to Jet Turbines to SIX V8 engines!

For each class, travel across 5 different regions participating in County, State, Regional, National, and Grand National Events! That's over 500 events!

Upgrade your tractor with the prize winnings, earning more points, eventually becoming the Grand National champion!

Six different camera angles: driver's seat, behind, front-side angle, grand-stands, sled driver, and 300ft mark.

Each pull event has different track conditions: adjust your tire pressure, weights, and gearing to get the most pulling power.

Based on a realistic physics engine, it's like watching a real tractor pull!

View a fully detailed graph/plot of RPM, Boost, Acceleration, Velocity, and Distance of the finished pull.

Coming Soon:
Garden Tractors and Mini Rods!

Michael,

Is there any plans for an iPhone release? Or are you just going to focus solely on the Android market?

Hi John,

I would love to do a release for the iOS as well, however there are a few hangups:

1. Programming would need to be done in Objective C instead of Java.
2. Would need to use a different 3D engine.
3. Would need to create an entirely new interface for the iOS interface framework.

So in short... the main things that could easily be ported over are just the 3D models. Everything else would have to be re-programmed from scratch. And I don't have an iOS device.

If I get enough downloads for the Android platform and a lot of great feedback and requests for an iOS version, I will do my best to make this a reality.

Smiling

My vote is for computer also, I'm a big fan of Farming simulator and always hopped that it would inspire someone to make a 3d tractor pulling sim.


2 poor 2 pull :-(

don't mean to be a tech redneck but oh well, is there any way this is available somewhere besides a phone. I know I am living in the "stone"age but dadgum I can't get that woodpecker to chisel that stone fast enough to make the tractor smoke.

Hahaha, I am not even quite sure what that last sentence meant! Grinning

Are you upset because I didn't put any smoke in the game (which is really hard and I am working on it), or that is just some made up metaphor? Grinning

Right now this is only available for the Android OS, so it will only work on Android phones, or tablets, or even probably the Kindle Fire. Does that help?

People are requesting an iPhone versions which I will probably make sometime soon, but I could also pretty easily make this for the computer as well.

Would you be interested in a computer version?

Haha, ok... I will see about porting over a computer version.

The graphics won't be the greatest, I'm not an amazing graphic artist or anything... but it should be able to be pretty awesome still seeing that no tractor pulling game like this exists... for anything really.

I like it and thanks for keeping the pulloffs!

Good game but one thing I noticed that needs to be fixed. So let's say you and another competitor make it to the pulloff, and during your pull you have an explosion at 100 feet. In the results it puts you behind the other competitors that didn't make it to the pulloff. Doesn't really make any sense. Smoke would be good to and I realize you are working on that.

I installed it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, and I wasn't able to get it to work right. It installed fine and would load, but I would get an error message and it would shut down right before I'd go to start a pull. Don't remember exactly what the error said. I should have taken a screen shot of it. At any rate, I uninstalled it to get the refund from the Google Play store before the time ran out to do so. Looked like a good game, and I'd like to try it again if you get it working.

Hmm, that stinks! Did you have it send an error report?

If you want, install the demo and see if it crashes with it, and if it does, have it send a crash report and put your name in the comment or something.

I have also just put up a new site where you can get technical help as well: http://www.bowengames.com
