He isn't even interested in finishing AS2; this game is buggy, half-baked jank. And that is unfortunate; this was my favorite game until he essentially abandoned it 8~9 years ago. I wouldn't buy AS3 even if he did start making it.

I hope a worthy successor comes soon (by someone who actually has the passion and time for it).

Its a pain, its a port of a port of a spin-off made into a full release, it would really need a full rewrite to fix but at this stage that just doesn't make sense. It is what it is at this point sadly

You can call Audioshield at AS3

Audioshield is Audiosurf 2.5 (or basically was supposed to be Audiosurf 2 VR)
Who knows if he will cook again, I hope he does but it’s been a long while

I can't support a game where the developer abandons project after project so if AS3 did come out, I probably would not be buying it.

They were 3 years late with the release of Part 3, judging by the 8-year difference between the first two episodes. There are no leaderboards, no cloud saves, and no translation to other languages. Do you think it's still worth waiting for? Ah, well, yes, the post of April 1 is the same.

It's a sad thing. Audiosurf was a hit, was huge. It suffered from a dying development cycle.

Sadly, as well, any racing, car and driving type games suffer the same issues nowadays. They don't make devs money.

Late Gen Z / Gen Alpha hate these types of games. I'm early Gen Z, 1997-2021, and I grew up with these games at the forefront of my mind.

Mario Kart, Crash Tag Team Racing, dozens of obscure titles that I played hundreds of hours on the PS1.

Any game that dozen't have a cute character, or humanoid body just doesn't get made anymore.

No clue what you're yapping about Gen Alpha and Gen Z, people play what they like to play. Audiosurf is just a hard sell nowadays cause most people switched to streaming services who explicitly forbit things that would make Audiosurf work in their TOS.
It might sort of work if more songs would be bundled, but you have to somehow make it interesting enough for have replay value with those base-game songs. That might kinda gets you into just mapped-style rhythm games which just isn't what AS is.
Idk How old Dylan is at this point, could find it out probably, but meh, but it's been some years since AS2 and even AS1 (17 years in fact) and before that he already made other games, AS1 was just the first big hit. Wouldn't blame him if he just retired by now.

may someone should buy the rights from him and continue developing a2

There is nothing you can continue in AS2, apart from the trackgen, everything else would have to be remade because the UI library he used is out of support since the end of 2015

lol? music games have been a thing since the 90s too. Don't need cute characters for it either.
