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

To be honest, I use a mac for all my day-to-day stuff and then have a PC for all game-related work. I would totally love to use my mac to play SNOW so don't think we don't have any mac love.

Hahahaha I lol'd +k. My mac is used for getting on the internet during class and..... um thats about it. All of my gaming and engineering work is done on a PC. But it would be sick to have Snow on the mac to make class go by just that much faster.

Unfortunately Unity can not handle the large open-world terrain size or stunning visual power that we seek for SNOW.

Please keep in mind that this is all still work in progress and subject to change (especially if you go give us feedback on our forum). On top of that, as this is character customization, you will be able to select more baggy clothing as well. We will offer all types of clothing for all different styles - don't worry.

We went back and created some more clothing for our character after we got some feedback from our community (including you guys). The more feedback we can get, the better we can create items that you want. Check it out on our Facebook Page or our Forum.... or below!

Please keep in mind that this is still WIP. Also please remember that we will represent all dress styles, and you will be able to pick and match what you want.

Looks sick.

But, it needs a park, or 20


I'm not going to buy it and go through the trouble of geting XP on my mac just to ride alaskan spines and shit like that. It's sick as shit that you have it in there, and i would play it for sure.

But Park is a huge fucking deal to us on NS. It's all we do.


HUGE jumps, level editor, online multiplayer, replay editor, SKATE but for snow. And make sure it isn't a button mashing set up. Flow controls.

quoting for emphasis.

like IB said, I would definitely be stoked on crushing it in the BC but having a park would be awesome as well.

Rest assured, we are not only focusing on freeride but also newschool freestyle. There will be park(s) and hopefully other interesting areas to jib off of. All in one seamless open world.

Our original inspiration was SKATE, so we are doing our best to stay true to what they succeeded in doing. We do, however see a difference between skateboarding and ski/snowboarding, and therefore need to stay true to the sport we are trying to represent.

Please understand though that the list of features you mentioned are in no way easy to implement (other than the huge jumps) and we will do our best to cater to our community.

If you have any ideas or feedback, we have want to keep an open dialogue with our community on our forum.
