New park game

Hello!

I am currently working on a park oriented ski game, in this thread I will post updates of the project and we can discuss what you guys think of the updates or just what you think should be in a ski game. Right now I am trying to put together a small demo so you guys can try it our and give me some input.

Here are some clips from the first real tesing I did a couple of days ago.
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/903871/My-ski-game

I have also created a Instagram account and uploaded a new little video (https://www.instagram.com/p/BjaOkHdj-JH/?taken-by=newskigame ). I will contiue to upload video clips there so can follow it for more. Since the tesing from the first video I have added some small features like backslides, butters and "grab rail slides", I will try to post a video of this today or tomorrow.

I have gotten some suggestions here on newschoolers that I should start a gofound me so I will do that next week after my finals.

Finally, I cant come up with a name for the game so it would really help if you could post any suggestions.

I will second this lol. I'll play this shit out of this. What kind of controllers will be compatible with this, OP?
 
This is cool. Axis of the spins looks spot on. It seems to have the camera follow of SNOW (Which is a good thing) with fairly realistic spins and flips.

Pair that with a decent control setup and some actually objectives and storyish thing and you might just have the next Skate 3.

I guess all controllers similar to Xbox 360, Xbox One, Dualshock 3 and Dualshock 4 will work.
 
I'd play the fuck out of this! Still waiting on Borderlands 3 after like 5 years so ill have some time...

Update 3.

Today I have been fixing an animation for the nose butters, took a while since I had to rig to skis. Hopefully I can add the ability to nollie later tonight and tomorrow I will try to fix so that we can tweak the grabs, smililar to how you tweak them in Skate3.

Here is a video of the nosebutters

Haha im good, dont worry.

Btw if you guys were to select 8 one handed grabs (like in skate 3 where L1 is left hand grab and R1 is right hand grab) which grabs would you choose? Right now I use saftey on left, mute on right, japan on down-right, crossed tail on down, uncrossed tail on down-left and nose on up.

I really like that you are going with a skate like grab system I think that will work well. The grabs you have sound really good. It could be cool to throw in some tweaked variants like high/wide safety. A critical grab could be cool to.

Looks really sick already!

Switch stance looks pretty good. Don't like forward really.

I would love to see some stylish riding style as the standard stance, that's imo a big problem on Shredsauce, that it looks clunky.

Just take Keegan, Jake Carney etc. as example.

I would also love to see landings with the skis tight together.

Maybe what you could do is like make 3 different ride styles and the player can choose in the beginning.

As example

1. standard one, neutral

2. More stylish stance with skis pretty tights

example:https://www.instagram.com/p/Bcc5c0QjUgE/?hl=de&taken-by=jc_peggy

3. Another stylish stance with a more relaxed pose maybe.

Another idea is, that you make some sort of afterbang, so you can actually see the impact on the landing.

If you can make the model look super stylish and smooth, i'd be happy to pay like 20$ for that!

Thanks for the input! Yeah the landings look horrible right now, I can look into that tomorrow. Great that you add a reference video, anyone with a video of a good forward stance?

I kinda agree, I think bringing the skis closer together could help a lot. Also having the ability to choose between riding stance is a great idea.

Afterbang/heavy head effect could be really cool too. Especially if you could somehow make the magnitude of the effect correlate with how heavy the landing is but that might be really hard to do.

Update4:

You can now tweak the grabs. You choose which hand to grabs with by using L1 or R1 (use both for dub grabs) and than you choose grab by tilting the right stick towards your desired grab. You can than tweak the grab by tilting the right stick of the controller left, right, up or down.

Here is a video of an example (left hand saftey):

Can’t belive how fast you are progressing with the mechanics, can’t wait for the beta to try it out.

Make a fundme page as soon as you get a chance, I would really love to send some support your way, and I’m sure a lot more people would too!

Can’t wait to see how nollies will turn out

How hard will it be to come up with halfpipe mechanics?

Also, when you hopefuly make it online, implementing a s.v.l.s.h. Mode would be so fucking dope!
 
With snow just hitting a development wall this could fill a major want for a ski video game and I think it looks so sick. Hoping it could be available on ps4:)

I have actually started to look into adding halfpipe mechanics but its not my highest priority right now but when I am done with the demo I will defenetly try to add it.

Yeah, a s.v.l.s.h mode would be sooooo dope.

I agree with priority of halfpipe.

I think 95% will almost never use it tbh. Kickers and rails are just way more fun.

Cool that i can help you with my input!

If you need more video reference, i can give you alot! I'm obsessed with those stylish edits.

I will send you a few examples for some stuff.

To the afterbang stuff: I would not change it, dependant on the impact unless you can make it look really good every time.

Or you limit the scale of it happening, otherwise it would look wacky on insanely huge jumps prob.

You can also give the animation some time, i would prefer it looking smooth instead of "more realistic", since i can imagine it will be very hard

to make it realistic and good looking (since it's happening so fast most of the times in RL)

I think it will also help, when the charactermodel wears a bit more baggy clothes.

Legs look to loong and stick like. More like this right now:

Example for a in my opinion absolute perfect stance (landing)

The grab is also super sick

Here is a very good example for alot of forward/ riding:
https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/904089/Wells-Lamont-Snow---Brighton

Just look at their ski, they are barely more than 10cm apart from each other. This is a big thing since it makes it look more relaxed.

I took a snapshot of a few stances:

Here are the sources of the clips (Left to right, then 2nd row left to right)

Yes i just took clips from Keegan and Carney.

There are alot of other real stylish skiier there, but i think everybody will agree that they are two of the most stylish riders.

Another tipp for inspiration - aswell, really stylish edit in good quality

Right now you can edit the colors of the characters clothing but you cant chang to a jacket for example.

ok thanks! when do you think the demo will be out?
 
I'm so down for this game. A feature that i missed in SNOW and Steep, was that they didn't have such relevant park skis. It feels so sick to shred the mountains on a game with your own pair of skis. Just a thought

Thats hard to say because I cant work full time on the game since it does not generate any income. I am going to set up a gofoundme page so I can work as little as possible and focus on the game.

Yeah, you will defenetly be able to choose between different park skis. Right now I am using ON3P magnus in the game.

I have a credit card if you have a gofundme
 
Here a little update:

I have created a main menu and pause menu for a demo, I will upload a movie of this tonight or tomorrow. I have also created a new character which is a little more baggy than the first one and I have changed the riding animations so that the skiier is not riding with such a gap between the skis. Finally, I have created a new map just so I could test the menu.

Here is a video of the new map (not with the new animations)

Just don’t ski into any ditches, the character in the game IS riding magnuses.

Game is progressing incredibly. The new animations definitely look better

yeah, i hope the ditch animations look good though. most games don't animate them that well, steep is very good, but the ditches SUCK!
 
13928820:Rparr said:
I shit a brick when you 3 swapped from that high rail to the down rail. You can’t do that in shredsuace or snow
Click to expand...

Haha yeah, i forgot to post when I updated that. You can fully controll if you want to jump off a rail to the right of left.
 
Rail swaps are pure gold !!!

Urban map is soooo sick, imagine if there was a map editor and you could set up your own urban features with some crazy transfers since you already have rail swaps added, I’d play the shit out of that all day long

Have you thought about wallrides? Or at least stalls and presses at top of a wallride feature ?

How about shifties? afterbang animation got me thinking you’ll kil it with shifties lol

Apologies if I’m beeing greedy and asking much, but you are so fast with the progression on your own already and imo making a game that’s about to become the best skiing game ever!

Keep it up good dude, and get that gofundme page running by the time demo is out for us to try it out, my 20$ are waiting
