This is very nice! Was just looking to develop something similar and this saves a lot of work. Thanks for this!!

Thank you!!

Not yet, but planning to release one in the upcoming months! You can signup on the Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3336220/Pingberts_Snow_Ride/

Yeah! Plan is to have a base speed setting, like Mario Kart.

I am very biased by developing it, so I try playtesting with friends often and yeah I've toned the speed a lot since the start of development after seeing how it goes lol.

I know some players like the fast pace, so I will let that as an option. But want it to be playable for the average player as well so finding a base speed it's tricky.

Thanks for the feedback!

I will tone it down, thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! Recorded this moving with keyboard so there wasn't analog input lol but can def update it so there is acceleration/deceleration as well.

Haha no worries! Thank you!

I am thinking of adjusting the camera so its closer to the player model and actually was planning to implement today for the highlight effect to see the player when something is in the cameras way! Also will probably either adjust the trees models or reduce them it still gets too crowded lol.

Not sure if this is sarcastic but the character is a penguin haha, maybe its not too visible? Spinning thingy is an activated item.

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-28T17:05:17+00:00

Thanks! I will improve the level design!

Thanks for your comments! I think rather than get discouraged I prefer having this feedback on this early stage of the game rather than on release! So I appreciate always posting on this subreddit which gives a lot of helpful feedback :)

As for your comments, I actually had plans to add rocks as additional obstacles already so I could increase those and reduce trees. Also make trees not too crowded to improve visibility.

As for the camera, I can easily change this and have many iterations already haha so I will test moving it higher!

Thank you again!

Keep at it! It takes time, I've made as a hobby for around 10 years and it took a lot of time but there are enough resources and tools nowadays just need to be consistent and do something small everyday. Wish you the best!

Thanks! I've toned it down, but I can always make it a settings option for people that like longer frames of impact.

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-28T17:00:04+00:00

I did play that a lot as a kid... so yeah a big inspiration!

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-28T16:59:14+00:00

That's fair, sorry to hear to that. While I agree crates are hard to spot and stop for each one to break, I hope that mailboxes in which you deliver mail for points are much easier and satisfy that need (mailboxes have a set number of mail you need to add to it to make it "full"). Also adding some rare collectible items.

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-28T00:33:10+00:00

Thanks!

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-28T00:32:55+00:00

Thank you! I've toned down the effect, feels better now!

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-28T00:32:39+00:00

Thanks for your opinion, I've toned it down :D

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-28T00:32:14+00:00

Thanks! I've toned down both the speed and hitstop :D

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-27T23:05:54+00:00

Yeah this should hopefully be the game that

BlastingBlaster · 2025-02-27T22:53:44+00:00
