The snowboard game

I just entered this into the unty-contest over at kongregate.
The game is still in alpha but still pretty playable.

Try at:

I would appreceiate any smart ideas, advice or comments.

This is pretty good for an alpha version I think.

Great job! I like it. I already played it too! Keep spamming around the web cause this deserves to be in the top 10!

You do need to change the controls though. The mouse is too hard. Make it keyboard commands. It’s VERY glitchy, but I do like it.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Yes, I’ll have to fix the controls. And spam the internet :slight_smile:

Cool Yah get the word out! Do some video blogs on youtube and vimeo. You need to do it TODAY if you want ANY chance at winning the contest!

Good luck!

Nice work, you put quite an effort into this. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the support :slight_smile: Will be a video soon.

yes, lots of work and late nights!

Hello Aceblues,

It is looking en playing very good, it needs some polish.

I can ski out of the game, maybe put a box collider around the area, so you must go to the finish line.

Are you using the character controller with the physics engine ? Or have you designed your own control system ?

Hey Maurice

Glad you liked it. The real terrain consists of 8 more terrain patches, but due to sizes and lack of gameplay in them I removed them for kong. I plan to add more adventure and exploration elements to it and make natural edges with mountains that the player can’t cross. Probably good with a box collider as well yes.

Yep, I use the character controller for collisions. I have made a few modifications on the velocity calculations, like project it onto the surface to get a more smooth movement. I’m not 100% happy with the movement yet though.

Somehow I can’t figure out the mouse controls. I could after heavy anger management understand how the mouse can maneuver the specific moves but couldn’t “launch” them. I tried to press the button in the air, when holding the jump button and so on, but I couldn’t manage to survive tutorial #4 :confused:
I guess there’s a reason for a kind of standard controll scheme for such games. At least at the most basic level ^^
Hope, you’ll manage to polish all the gfx. Could be a lovely game ^^

Just when I posted this I tried again and randomly hacknslayed the button like in diablo and it worked, but didn’t look too different. But the game told me I did it, so I DID IT :smile:

Hehe, I havn’t actually seen anybody play IRL except my girlfriend, but she never got that far. Everybody has problems with that. Not sure if I mention that you have to hold down the mouse button to keep the grabs :S

I usually play these kinda games on consoles, so I’m not familiar with the standard control scheme, but I’ll have to check that out.

Just uploaded a short video for this game.

Good luck! I rated 5/5

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Good Stuff!
Try to colorcorrect the game to get all the gray color out and replace with a nice bluish tint!

Hm, that will probably look better, thanks for the advice! There’s a lot of things I want to improve with the graphics.

I really like the game, if you iron out the bugs, and polish it a bit more, then it will be and awesome game! Good Luck!
