I am in the early stages of making a ski game and looking for ideas.
What kind of features would you guys like to see? I am solo dev(for now) so let's keep it somewhat manageable. Looking forward to any ideas the community may have. This is my dream game I always wanted to play as a kid and now as an adult. I am almost ready for steam page in a couple months (not a release, just announcing development to masses) and I will reveal the progress then with videos and more info. For now I would just like to see what you guys want and I'll see if I can make it happen.
BiggieSmallsNZsweet as, I've looked at your other comments and it looks like it's going to be really sick! do you know when we can see screenshots?
Need to make a demo level ( have a bunch of random test maps atm) that will kind of showcase the game in general. Texture the character I have to and finish up some of the basic animations. So I guess basically as soon as I can, but its not too far away. Keep expectations low, but Im pretty happy with the base.
I have played a lot of Shredsauce and steep and the in air movement always looks either too fast (steep) or to clunky (Shredsauce) the rail systems in booth those games aren’t great either as I have always been looking for a game just like skate 3 but on skis as that game does on rail tricks super well
If there is a point system for doing tricks or dropping off stuff, there needs to a boost to point totals for how well you land, and how good the afterbang is.
If you get a perfect afterbang, the game shows a picture of tom wallisch
I'll try to see what you mean by watching some YouTube of those games. I forget what skate game I grinded hard but I know it wasnt 3.

I mean, I feel like this is self explanatory. Maybe if you want a female character fine but the NPCs are all dudes, parents, kids. Just like no single ladies in the entire game.
Oh ok thought it was a community inside joke or something

a free beta version that is available until 6 months before the official launch
(would be sick if possible but i get that it might not happen)

Once the core is complete I'll need testers. That's basically as far ahead I'm thinking for right now.

SchwagsShredders is awesome one of my favorites. I am working on similar control system and testing out some other ideas
Voyage86customs ski widths and real life mountains or maybe just famous faces like the free ride world tour spots and other iconic spots from real life resorts. you can parody the resort to if there’s an issue with use or somthing. you got Snail resort, B basin, jackson half, kicking cow, Snow Turd, Mt Collar etc

Schwagsgood stuff! Chads gap seems obvious.
shredders is sick, i turned it on for the first time in a while last night and there was a big update
new zone has a chad's gap, it's called shred's gap and the surroundings don't look like irl but the gap itself is pretty similar to irl. should be bigger but it's dope and kinda hard to get the right speed for imo
shredders is also awesome about having all kinds of gaps and jumps to find. you'll be exploring the edge of a map and find yourself a nice line of bc booters and hips and shit. really fun. also it took me a while to realize it but you can explore wherever you want with your drone and set a spawn point anywhere
if i were making a ski game, skate 1-3 and shredders would be major inspiration. i'm sure i don't have to tell you that we want the right stick to control your feet to shifty and adjust for landings etc :)

oh and Amped 2 was a super dope game for its time. great levels and stuff and it had a cool feature where you only tilted the stick partway to spin more slowly and style it out

I think at one point I had to be the greatest amped 2 player in the world (kidding, sort of). Hahaha.

Free rotation controls. Reason why I always come back to shredsauce from steep is the freedom of rotation. The learning slope on shredsauce is quite horrible though, but to me a freeski game must allow you to do rotations in a non-set way like in steep. I want to be able to do different types of corks, rodeos, flatspins, inverting more or less at any point of the rotation. Shredsauce allows for this quite well since you can adjust with sideflip as you spin, but something more fluid would be awesome

Not really set on one way yet, will probably be decided by testers on which direction to go. Good stuff.

I am looking for a 3d modeler and a programmer to collab with for this project. If anyone is interested feel free to hit me up on discord. My User name is schwags or dm on ns for all the info.
Goretex_VidalIn light of the past week, can you put safety slides into the game?
I didn't know the name of it but used to see this kid at my home moutnain do those all the time or something like it. It's possible for sure but a couple factors on that stuff on how quickly it will be able to be implemented yadda yadda
