Corked - (another) new ski game

is it just me or none of the challenges are saving after exiting the map.

First one to finish all the challenges?? I did the whale tail challenge like 50 times in different orienations and stuff and it doesnt recognize it in game for some reason.

yeah that's on the list to fix, it currently won't save which I realize is pretty annoying

Damn! Some of the challenges are pretty buggy still, impressed you got em all done. Did not realize the 2x backflip was broken. I should be paying bug bounties haha thanks! I also want to add some kind of prize for completing the map, I was thinking new skins or something or something more fun like a snowmobile but open to any ideas.

yeah fs I mean you should first make an acc system so it saves stuff but skins or like different types of skis like wide skis for pow would be cool. I was also trying to figure out if there is an easy way to reset you position back to the top (spawn point) of the hill after setting a diff position somewhere else?

corked_gameCorked is a side project I've been working on in my free time, I had similar motivations to Malcolm and others, I wanted a game that played in a way that I liked with axis, butters and terrain etc as I'd have them. Its pretty similar to other games but hopefully has a novel twist that you might enjoy. Its free online with no ads or for download on steam. Controller support should be plug and play (except the mac desktop version). If anyone ends up playing it I'll definitely add a bunch of mountains and finish mobile. Lots of bugs so would love comments / constructive feedback.

Imo the thing that is missing from ski games is powder skiing, making a good pow skiing feature would be amazing, either way having more ski games is great :)

This is taking me back to making entire skate videos on SKATE 2 with my cousins; this game is sick.

Definitely skins of iconic kits; you complete all the challenges and unlock a G-Suit or something. Snowmobile would be a great reward or a heli you could drop in from like SSX.

when the new maps coming out? I have been addicted over the weekend lol

i made a pretty sick skate edit but its all from me recording it on snapchat sooo it looks just iight

great input thanks! yeah for resetting back to the top either ski to the bottom and if you go far enough it'll "end run" and pop you back up to the top, or there's the pause menu and you can choose your drop point. I've been meaning to make a small fix where when you choose your drop point from the overview screen it automatically resets your session marker

yeah totally agree! good pow in a game is so satisfying. Implementing it well is, from what I can tell, one of those AAA game polishes thats really hard to recreate without being a pro at this stuff and even then requires a strong system (not mobile or web). My implementation is very naive and of course doesn't look great but I wanted SOMETHING. It required a ton of extra optimizations even to get it working the way it is as its essentially reshaping a copy of the entire mountain terrain EVERY frame. My optimizations helped but the vertices are far apart so dropping nearby vertices is rough/large and not as grainular, I'll toy with a POC of something better soon

That's' awesome to hear, glad you'r'e enjoying it! I worked on this pretty damn consistently for like 9 months believe it or not. I've been toying with another fun side project the last few weeks (I'm making a newschoolers chatGPT) but if people keep playing I get back after it in the next week or two. I didn't think anyone would play it so the response has me fired up!

sickkk!

One thing it could use is more gradual turning because right now it feels pretty touchy like you’re either going full left or full right

if you go uphill into a down rail, it reverses your direction when you lock into the rail
