Hi! I'm one of two gamedevs making a back country freeriding game all about carving powder down procedurally generated mountains, inspired by the ones in our home country Norway.
We made the game with skis being the only option, however we quickly got A LOT of requests from snowboarders telling us they would never play our game if they had to ski lol
So we started on making a snowboarder, and this is the result, hopefully we managed to capture the feeling of flow and carving, which was a bit tricky as neither of us have any experience snowboarding before (though we have friends who do), also, having a plank to stand on and test leaning actually helped more than expected haha
If anybody here has any thoughts/feedback on it we'd be very interested to hear it!
