SNOW: freeride/freestyle skiing game

SNOWTheGame · 2011-11-02 11:39:54

Check it out: www.snowthegame.com SNOW is the first true freeride and freestyle game for skiers and snowboarders. Based on the free-to-play model, SNOW looks to restart the winter sports genre taking the player back to basics refining scale, physics and controls to capture the majesty of the mountain. SNOW is a game for riders, by riders. SNOW will be released for free later this year and developed according to feedback from the community. Here's the trailer: http://vimeo.com/29075248

hey shit! I just realised there's only three guys working on this: from magnus link^^

Poppermost, which consists of a three-man team, will also provide unique insights into the challenges of bringing their open world game to life.

am i right or is there more than just poppermost prods? If i am then fuck all the hate snow's been getting, this is almost as small as malcom's bedroom project!

You are correct, we are just 3 (designer, programmer, artist) though we did outsource the animations.

I haven't read the whole thread, just came in here because this is beginning to look like the real deal. But I wonder, will there be any "suspension" in the skiers legs when he lands? Or will it be similar to Shredsauce where the skier just lands like a man made of Lego? Anyhow, looks sick, can't wait to try the Alpha!

that comes down to landing animations, which we have multiple versions of depending on the impact of your landing and wether you stomp it or not.

This seems like a skiing version of the skate series by EA. If it's even slightly similar to the concept of that game I'll be in love

Here's the mountain map for the East Face of Sialia (our first mountain). This will be your tool for navigation, so get familiar with the terrain! Remember, this is just 1 of the 4 sides of the mountain!

Currently CryENGINE 3 (the engine that SNOW is build on) only supports PC (and consoles). We are pretty sure that they are working on a Mac version though. Time will tell.
