    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    I'm thinking Octograbs might be hard to see with the skier sized the way it is. I'm thinking Japans or Safety because of parallel skis, and truck drivers because that is a really distinctive body position. For spins, it will keep printing out exactly how far you spin. Eventually you will want...

    Steepest, deepest, must true to the heart back country Mt in the West

    Whistler is nucking futs. Sooo much to ski, and so many people. Never needing a car was awesome though. I hear good things about Kicking Horse's terrain and snow quality, and Revelstoke will be far enough off the international tourist's map for a few more years that it should still be quiet.

    What is the future of online advertising?

    'tis unfortunate that the ski industry isn't as rich as the automotive industry. On the other hand, I'd hate buying skis if it was like buying a car. Wall.E was pimping Mac product. Sticking an iPod in a movie that takes place 700 years in the future is pretty desperate, but the audience loved...

    What is the future of online advertising?

    I worked on a contest where people earned an invitation to an 'Exclusive Test Drive Event' for a new car by posting links relevant to the car on the contest site. Other people interested in the car would check out these links, submit their own links, and get excited about seeing how popular...

    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    That speed thing is a bug, but I thought it was fun so I didn't plan on fixing it right away. At the moment, I'm most interested in interested in fixing the level editing crash thing, and getting the game to feel more like sliding around in powder instead of carving.

    I got that one too, and was hoping it was just me. I'm not sure why it does that.

    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    yay! Please remember to clear your browser's cache if you aren't seeing the changes. Here's a sort of fullscreen version if you are into that http://gnarshmallow.com/fullscreen.html For the Windows guys, hit F11 and most of your browser will go away making the game even fuller screener.

    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    I'm moving the whole show over to http://ww.gnarshmallow.com. A new build is up. This one will try to name your tricks (still pretty rough) and give you a little speed boost if you land spins well.

    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    I can make cliffs floatier. The physics behind this is all really fake and doesn't have much to do with real life, it just sort of works for the game. Right now I have it set up so you fall at a certain speed if you are in the air over snow, and you fall at a slower speed if you are in the air...

    hahaha, I feel love. Thanks for the support! Go drag some cliffs around and let me know how it runs. Random starting position can be turned on or off. http://www.imakewebsites.ca/flash/flashskigame/ The whole thing is a bit of a mess right now, but it works. I'm starting to think cliffs...

    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    Hate to kill the buzz, but I got some actual work to do now, so I won't be able to work on the game during the day for a few days. Hopefully I'll get some stuff done on the weekend. It has already been posted on TGR twice.They aren't digging it as much as NS is.

    What to do with my old skis!

    Reno Rocking Chair! You could butter all over the living room and probably keep the skis intact.

    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    I should be possible if you get going fast enough. I didn't put any rules into the game saying 'no big cliffs'

    Salomon guns?

    Nice easy going fat ski for lightweight skiers. I demoed them in Whistler and found they worked pretty well in just about everything I could throw at them. I'm 5'6", 115 pounds, and ended up buying a pair in 174cm take home to Ontario. They are no worse than the average park ski on ice, carve...

    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    Probably something like that Ryno. To me, figuring that out isn't as interesting as screwing around with the level design or trying to make the game run faster on a wider variety of computers, so I haven't given it much thought. I don't throw a lot of lincolns when I play, so I don't notice...

    New ski game, inspired by the TGR Tracks game

    Lets see if I can cover everything on page 9 in one post. Yes, you can land lincolns any way you want. I'm still working out the math that checks for crashes on flip/lincoln combinations. 1/2 a lincoln and 1/2 a flip is something you could land. 3/4 of a backflip and 1/4 of a lincoln doesn't...

    I bought Hellbents!!

    You are a crazy fool. Have fun! Riding the Hellbents in Whistler was a skiing revelation for me. I'm pretty sure my family is tired of me talking about it. Make sure you find them skis some powder!
