SNOW: freeride/freestyle skiing game

I really miss this game. My computer is having some issues in its age and can no longer run the game. Stoked with where it's going though!
 
Did you guys change the duration of the combo meter? It seems like its going down faster, making it harder to get higher points through combos in slopestyle

I feel like they did. Also totally cant wait until we can "level up" in free ride mode that'll be nice. @Snow have you guys been working on snowboarding mechanics at all yet?

Not that I know of.. but don't get too used to that feature, we're going to change it in the next update to be focused around the quality of your landing rather than an arbitrary timer. So you'll get multipliers if you stomp your landing versus a sketchy landing.

Levelling in free roam will make a big difference :) We're excited to see what people think about the way it works.

We haven't started on snowboarding yet - there's too much to do elsewhere in the game before we can focus on it.

right on! Focus on skiing first for shure!
 
So, I've heard talk about this game showing up on PS4 consoles, is that true? Being that I don't own any sort of computer that can run this game, a console release would be the only way I could play.

I dont really mind the controls tbh they're like any other regular computer game. in the future iirc you'll be able to map your keys

i mean really its like the most unintuitive controls for a ski game. Its like they took a mapping of an xbox 360 controller and ported it on. its just giving me a headache.

Its just personal preference. The controls totally made sense when I started playing it.

Could you give more detail to what doesn't make sense to you? We're using pretty standard inputs (WASD, Space, Shift + arrow keys) so I'm not sure exactly what you don't like...

I think it would be easier with a hot key system, arrow keys to move and key bindings qwer, like from league and wow. For two reasons, first is that the arrow keys and hot key for grabs is what is used for most skiing/ snowboarding games put on pc lately so it will reduce the learning and adjustement issues of the game.

Second it's slightly more intuitive for people with larger hands because they can spread their left hand across the keyboard while not having to struggle mid air to find a different button.
 
Also I'm probably kind of bias since I play a lot of rpg's and mobas, but i think it would make a nice alternative to not mess with people motor memory for people who play a lot of shred sauce and mobas.
 
I agree with the above. I remapped freakout to a number pad for motion, with 7 and 9 being off axis rolls. It's way easier, wish shredsauce had that as standard. Just give people the option?

Also, I work with Elina Hildebran - nice game dude!

I guess a big problem is that a good amount of people try to play on laptops which don't have num pads, not to mention there are a lot of peripheral keyboards that don't come with them either.

I feel like snow and most sports games fall into the category of games that need a controller to not feel clunky. There should be a fluid motion and a simple on/off keystroke doesn't achieve the same feeling that a joystick could provide. I mean I can try tapping A and D as quickly as I want but it won't give me an enjoyable experience when I'm trying to navigate a chute. To phrase it better, in this application I feel a joystick would be more accurate than a keyboard.
 
nothing annoys me more then using a keyboard for video games which is why i stopped playing PC games.

get xpadder and a ps3 controller. Makes it a million times better

When are you gonna fix the rail physics? Still looks retarded. Same with switch spinning.

Not really a physics issue as much as mechanics and animations. These will be improved for 0.7 but not 0.6

Yo...E3 is coming up...are you guys showing anything there?

We weren't there, but SNOW was.. running on PS4! Did anyone attend? More news about PS4 later this year :)

hey guys...no news in awhile. whats been up?

Summer is here so it's a little more quiet at the office + we're all very busy. We're still here though!
 
Finally upgrading my comp. Going from a geforce 520m to a 980m. I can't wait to see how this runs with a real GPU
 
Could you guys make the snow sparkle more? I know that sounds kind of dumb but the snow looks like tooth paste and not fresh powder. I think if it had a sparkle in it kind of like in SSX 3 then the game would look much nicer.

SNOW is the first true freeride and freestyle game for skiers and snowboarders. Based on the free-to-play model, SNOW looks to restart the winter sports genre taking the player back to basics refining scale, physics and controls to capture the majesty of the mountain. SNOW is a game for riders, by riders.

SNOW will be released for free later this year and developed according to feedback from the community.

Here's the trailer:http://vimeo.com/29075248

Hey guys! Is there a reason that you won't allow the testers to load in 9 knights and the b&e or is it still not finished and you just threw the icons in as placeholders?
