Sadly the Sandbox game is too old now to play. Both Google Play and App Store both removed the game. I was no longer making money and the server costs were too much to keep it running. One day I'll update the game again, rebuild Sandbox and have a new mobile version. For now, I'm focused on GeoFireFlow
Thanks for your kind words! I am currently focused on GeoFireFlow, though I am planning to rebuild Sandbox and create a new mobile version. It may be a year or so before I have the space to do that.
This is very interesting! I'm working on my own cell-based fire simulation game, and am learning there's a lot to it! Do you have any helpful resources that you used for equations/variables ect? The game likely wont be as accurate as this, but is just intended to be fun and inspire people to learn about wildland fire fighting.
Damn, is there any way to simply reupload the same game for newer devices without much effort? I mean it was perfect, and simply having the same game back in the store would be awesome
Dude I love your fire jumpers game! It’s so basic yet challenging and fun. I saw on Reddit you might come out with a new one at some point.m? Anyway keep up the great work.
start crowdfunding, hire developers and please make this game more complete. more units, automatic air suppression, and backfiring. you're work is super inspiring and can educate a whole generation about fire suppression, something needed considering the fire service is becoming more green than ever. I hope you haven't abandoned this project forever because it has the potential to become a widely known simulation game that can be enjoyed for years.
Thanks for the suggestions. You are right, I should setup a Patreon or something. Good news is that I am still planning to work more on this. It's going to change a lot, I have new ideas. I'm just concentrating on funding in the form of grants and VC. So crowd funding is a great idea which I'll be looking into soon.
This is happening from Apple Store, most likely due to the fact the game is 9 years old. I believe it is too old and won't work with the latest version of iPhones. I don't have control over that. Even the Google Play version isn't working on some newer devices.
hello i am emre today i ran into a problem i was going to download firejumpers sandbox 3d that firejumpers is not in play store i hope you understand have a good day
Very well done! I've been following your various FireJumpers projects for the last couple of years and I'm very impressed with how well this installment has turned out even this early on in its release. The ability to set up the automated routines is a total game changer because it was impossible to keep up with a large fire when we had to control each individual unit before. I'm sure you have plans to add and change different features and aspects of the program in the coming future but if you don't mind a little feedback here are a couple things I think would be helpful for the gameplay(not content additions). • One thing that would be a big help is to add a little tooltip window that pops up when you hover over the different tools/buttons and the units like when choosing a unit to spawn. In this tooltip window of course just include a short description of what the button in question does. And for the units maybe just include the basic stats such as speed, firefighting range(for engines), etc. along with a short description also of the purpose/function of the unit(for people brand new to firejumpers). •The only big addition/change I would love to see is if you were to expand a little bit on the automated routines... For example I would love if you could link or bridge one routine with another via a "bridge" waypoint. I'm suggesting this because it gets tedious having to select each tanker and manually switch their routines especially when there's multiple tankers in the sky. In theory it would work a lot like the GO trigger where it acts as a normal waypoint until activated then once the unit gets to it while active, their routine would then jump to the routine set by the Bridge waypoint. Maybe even have the option to have it switch to active automatically after a set amount of time has passed or even after a set number of times a unit passes it. •The more difficult suggestion is an entirely new feature which I understand would be a bit more difficult and time consuming to build. However if you're interested I'd love to see the ability to queue up actions/commands for both individual units and groups. This would really help in scenarios where you're handling lots of units, for example, when trying to contain a large fire or especially when dealing with multiple different fires at a time. I was thinking of something as simple as using shift + click/ctrl + click to issue several commands that would then be carried out in order by the selected unit/units. These additions/changes are geared towards furthering ability to issue orders in a more fluid and efficient manner. Making ground units capable of being handled more like your tankers, carrying out a string of commands that the unit/units will carry out automatically making it possible for you to move on to a different unit/task. And not to mention the time saved each scenario that would otherwise be lost when units are sitting idle waiting for their next command ;-)
Is there any possible way you can update your game FireJumpersRTS to be playable and available on the playstore? I absolutely loved that game as a time killer and thought it was very well done and simple. I have literally just downloaded inferno BTW 😆
Hey! Im playing the mobile iOS version of fire jumpers. I have a suggestion for an update. It would be cool if you could take heightmaps, import them into the game and be able to play in the map!
@@aculasabacca yes, I'm getting great feedback, even if not all positive. My discord is a great place to share info and suggest ideas. I've taken a break since launch to refresh my brain. I'm almost ready to start coding again, fix some of the bugs.
My goodness,just got the game and it’s AMAZING!I don’t even have the DLC! I first got the Sandbox in 2015-2016 and reinstalled near 2020.Congrats!I hope this becomes so popular!Much love from Oklahoma!
Thanks Titanic Mapping! I'm really happy with Inferno so far. There's still so much I want to improve on but I wanted to launch something. It's been 3 years in the making and I felt it was good enough to launch. More updates to come.
hey there jason! long time no see. good to see you again. im trying to log in my account dynasty but i forgot the password, maybe you can help with that?
Are you taking about Inferno or Sandbox? Also, I can't change or find passwords, it's not possible. If it's Sandbox, and if you registered your email, you can reset your own password. Sorry, that's all I can do about that.
Hey, so I played the mobile version, but I buyed the full version, and I can't play it on the full version, so how do I do it? (Waiting for the new game btw)
This looks phenomenal! The amount of detail and control looks amazing. This could very well be used as a training tool. Without playing it yet, can the IC hosting the game limit controls and available tools of the other players? That would allow for control of things like controlled burn operations without trolls ruining it. For individual training scenarios, that could also force scenarios to focus in on some desired methods, strategies, and operations when using this as a training tool. Great work here! I'm excited to try it!
Yes, the IC hosting the game has control over all features, fire locations, wind speed/direction, game speed, etc. I have launched the simulator as the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) though I have a huge roadmap of additional features I'll be adding in, especially for wildland fire agencies. The main idea for launching Inferno on Steam is a grassroots approach, to get the wildland firefighters interested, and they'll let their bosses, and hopefully, the message goes up the chain of command. We should connect via Discord (see description for link) and I can give you a guided tour and discuss the kinds of features that would work for you.
Glad to see your finally seeing this project though I played the original way back when I was a kid on mobile and heard the Kickstarter didn't get enough funding. So im glad it's getting somewhere
Great to hear that my indie game made an impact when you were a kid! Oh the classic FireJumpers Sandbox was so fun! That's the thing, this is what I love to do, so whether I get Kickstarter money or not, I'm gonna keep doing what I love to do, and that's to code! lol
I'm thinking you mean FireJumpers Sandbox as it's the only version I currently have on Android. What's your username, I'll check my database and see what I can do
I have been thinking about how to implement that for some time now. Two things are, there are scientific equations for a proper back fire, when the wind changes directions and start to blow towards the main fire. That's a little tricky to calculate. Second and also very important is not letting other players start fires. This will invite "Trolls" to ruin the game if they have the power to start fires. It can be done, and it will, but it won't make the cut for the Steam Launch version. It'll be something I can add later.
It is a free-to-play game. Though free users will have many limitations, think of it more like a demo, but a bit better. There's a 1 time cost to unlock the full version, plus there are some other IAP, like additional units, etc
I have a question so I’ve played the demo for about a year but I’m not a loud to buy in game passes and I’m not allowed to gett many games that cost money sre the fire trucks free units those my fav but I can only use 2 because of non bought version
