Subway SurfersĪside from the leaves, there are some other vague Vancouver references.
#SUBWAY SURFERS OPEN FULL#
One of Vancouver's major export is just train cars full of maple leaves. What’s the special surfboard you can spend hours upon hours getting? One giant maple leaf. As you run along the train tracks, what fills the open rail cars you can climb? Leaves. Leaves continue to fly around as you play too. Subway SurfersĪll around the opening screen swirls red and orange leaves.
Vancouver's Stanley Park is featured in the Subway Surfers Vancouver map released Nov. The logo features three generic skyscrapers, a massive maple leaf and a cluster of trees in the background which - if you squinted - could represent Stanley Park. When you open the game you’re met with the Vancouver branded logo spray-painted on a rail car. If there’s anything the game designers at Subway Runner want you to know about Vancouver it's that we have leaves. Oh no, not the leaves! Not the leaves! They’re in my eyes! 1, those obstacles include the game’s classic buffer stops as well as some… not-so-specific-to-Vancouver additions. In Subway Surfers’ Vancouver location, released Nov. In the game, you run at ever-increasing speeds while collecting coins and power-ups while at the same time trying to avoid a myriad of obstacles. The game previously featured Mexico City, made spooky with a Day of the Dead theme. Vancity was added to the game’s playable maps as part of a virtual world tour. In both games your character is caught doing something they shouldn't, (stealing an ancient relic/spray painting a train car), you then have to run away from the local authorities (a 'roided-out ape/a portly police officer and his dog) lest you be mauled/arrested. Actually - if you took Temple Run and put it in a futuristic metropolis setting, you’d have basically made Subway Surfers. Subway Surfers is an endless runner game that functions much like its slightly older cousin Temple Run. As with all our products, the goal is to make something where the player could only tell you which version they were playing by the presence of an address bar.Vancouver was recently added as a playable location in a popular mobile game - or at least an interpretation of Vancouver designed by someone who has never visited. Our development team worked tirelessly to ensure that every swipe, jump, tap and dodge looked and felt precisely the same in hand. Original co-developers Kiloo had eyes on the project so it was essential that we made sure it performed exactly like the original. Whilst the original was launched in 2012, years of intervening evolution and development have means that the game we have converted is truly a visual masterclass, requiring every trick in the book to faithfully reproduce. One of the greatest challenges we had as we converted the game to HTML5 tech was in preserving visual, performance and interactive parity with the original game.
Our bespoke remake of Subway Surfers in HTML5 means that the game now has a whole new track to run on. Whilst there is often the dream of the magic, automated system to repurpose games made with other tech for the web, the truth is that it requires bespoke skill and finesse to really get down to the metal and coax out every last drop of performance. We used our super-optimised Odie 3D framework to port the game, and painstakingly brought over all of the Unity assets and gameplay systems and converted them to HTML5. The other is performance, where a decent desktop was required to run the WebGL version and mobile browsers weren’t supported at all. One issue with the Unity export is that it’s big - around 30MB for the player itself before the game is accounted for at all. A Unity WebGL conversion ticked the box of getting it running on desktop hardware but a vital piece of the puzzle was missing - mobile. Its pedigree is in no doubt and Poki were thrilled to acquire the rights to bring it to their browser based games platform. Launching back in 2012, it’s had actual billions of downloads and continues to draw 20 million daily active users.
