First off, here is the new teaser for the much awaited Jib Life. It is a freeski game that has been in development for a long time. I mean years. But they dropped a new trailer recently. Uploaded by my friend jiberish from the Jibbin forums.


Looks sick, right?

Now, some news on the popular game Jibbin. I assume many of you have heard of this game, but for those who haven't, it's a 3rd person skiing game. Website: jibbingame.com.
As you may know, a new game is in development, called Jibb. It is a sequel to Jibbin. Currently, the developer Toum, or Thomas Champagne, is working on the game. But now, I am working as a co-developer on the game. It is pretty awesome. He has been posting pics of models for the game on his twitter (twitter.com/champagnethomas). We're working on the game now. Mostly the physics engine, not much of design and such. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that he has incorporated a ragdoll physics engine for falls. And I want to add it in to balancing on rails and stuff. For flailing arms and such.
So, that's that. The game is coming along fine.

Now,for anyone who couldn't find it, here is a reupload 50 grabpacks for Jibbin: http://www.mediafire.com/?om1ivhxdsd19zmv
Not my link.

So, hope you found this helpful. Enjoy!

Forgot to include a couple sidenotes:
1. Jibbin/Jibb and Jib Life are two separate games.
2. I won't post gameplay of Jibbin. As it is still in fairly early stages.
3. Jib Life Facebook: facebook.com/jiblifegame

Jibb, or Jib Life? As far as I know, Jib Life is going to be a console game.
And me and Toum are making Jibbin work for both Mac and PC.

I know. I didn't upload it. A friend just put it on youtube for convenience I guess.
I just wanted to bring the video to people's attention.

I have no faith in a good skiing game until I have one in my hands that I am playing. Not getting my hopes up for anything.

they have said it will be pc/mac ONLY at launch, do you understand how much money it takes to get a game on consoles?

they were using a ps3 controller in that 1 video, but you can use ps3/xbox controllers on a PC

Open the packs.rar folder. And then in that folder, there will be many other folders. Those are grabpacks. Open one of those folders, and copy the file called cross_in6.b3d, and then put that in your Jibbin main folder. Then you can get custom clothes and stuff. Look on the website forums for more information...I used to be a moderator on there (shamwow). Some good grabpacks are: MaximW 3.0, Steezik 3, MaximW 2.

I legitimately just hopped on the job with Toum. I'm not sure what his final goals are compared to mine. I'll stick with what he said, though.
"You can count in months for the release date". So not years :P

I don't know are you guys serious, but who actually still believes in Jib Life? They've been off schedule for several years.. I hope Jibb is going to be as great as Jib life!

Just waiting to play a demo, not waiting for trailers

The reason it's taking so long is not because of sheer difficulty in coding the game. They have been behind just due to not being able to do what they want. I know they have been working for around 10 years, and that may seem like a lot of testing. Now, let me make a comparison here. I'm sure you all have heard of EA's Madden NFL series. Now, they produce a game every year. Seems like a short time compared to this, right? But they have been able to test stuff so much more than the team at Jib Life. Madden has been around for 20+ years, they have learned from mistakes. So they know what they want to do now. Jib Life just started up, they had to figure out how they wanted to make the game.
It took me over 1 year just to develop a tiny game. Just due to me getting frustrated and not making it how I imagined it.
So just know that this trailer for Jib Life isn't the product of 10 years of work.
I am fairly certain that Jib Life will come out eventually.

And as for Jibb, I'm certain we can make it as good as this. The physics engine in this is good, but they graphics are iffy. The shadows are rendered horribly. There are much more efficient ways. Anyway, I still think it looks good.

TL;DR:
1. Jib Life is going to come out.
2. Developing a game is hard.

Looks sick, but in all honesty it just looks like a really polished version of jibbin. Jib life that is.
