quoting the maker of the game
" So there’s aggressive inline, JGR, and JSRF. but i want a roller game that is about the tricks, about foot placement, about transfers, about style. a game where control is about 2 boots on a grind. a game where the roller community decides on trick names and difficulty. a game where players can host sessions and roll with their friends in other countries. a game that can save time lapse trick sequences….
Well, i have been working as a video game artist for a while now and i have just started working on the game listed above. if i am not the only one interested in such a game, i will seriously step up development.
At this point my plan is to offer the game for free or very cheap ($5). or maybe request donations.
i plan to focus on smaller scale sessions - the environments i have in mind are more like where most of us roll - parks, alleys, stairways, etc.
I do not intend to simply mimic games that already exist. i want visuals and gameplay to be unique and stylish - prolly in between toon and realism - with tight skater control.
It will be more than a flash game. through my profession, i have access to a wide range of game engines and development tools - not to mention artists, engineers, sound designers, etc. while i alone am spearheading the project, i consult with my peers many times daily.
One reason i posted to this group is to tap into the energy here. shared enthusiasm will help keep me focused. i understand that some of you have doubts, but i have been making other peoples games for 8 years now - it’s time for me to make my own.
