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

Thanks!

Once we have got through the next few days we want to work with you guys to improve the game. We have included ALL of our variables that control the game's systems and will explain how you can help tune them with us.

dam man i cant get it working on any of my PC's. Does it really require that good of a computer? even on low quality? the guy just flails and falls over the place when i spawn.

my pc specs



Dual Core 3.0ghz
4gb ram
Nvidia GeForce 9500gt 1gb graphics card

i know its not a good gaming pc as i only use my pc for video editing and work but should it run at all?

hit the '~' key and try typing into the console sys_spec 5
I did it by accident when trying to change the video settings and it smoothed things up for me.

Says I need this.
Graphics: nVidia 8800GT 512MB RAM, ATI 3850HD 512MB RAM or better (SM 3.0 minimum)
Will this do?
Nvidia GEForce 8600M GT

Or should I just stick with Shredsauce?

It will just be a bit choppy.

I play dirt 3 on my lapto, well below the minimum system requirements, and it still runs, but its a bit slower.

can you demo it to see how bad it'll be?

This game is hard. It looks like it'll be loads of fun when I'm good.

But seriously why do you spin with WASD instead of arrow keys? I'd love it if you could have the option to switch those around, because I keep fucking up because of it.

Just the general option to re-arrange the key config to taste would be nice to know how to do. I'd be most comfortable on my 360 controller...

I think that's kind of low. By comparison, here's my slow(ish) laptop specs:

AMD A6 3410MX with Radeon Graphics built on the chipset, Quad Core, ~1.6GHz
8GB RAM at 1333MHz (Was 4GB when bought, upgraded)
AMD Radeon 6520G, 4GB VRAM

The game runs (semi-glitchy) for me after several restarts, but it pins my CPU at 100%, making work up a sweat.

You might need an upgrade. I might suggest upgrading to something like a Hexa-Core.
