Honestly, the physics is one of the most impressive thing I found about this video, not even session allows for such physics! Need another pure physics skate game to get creature studios into shape, amazing work guys!

[@SaltSpirits]

Board physics look great but we need to see the player character physics too, because of those aren’t as polished, it’s gonna ruin the entire feel.

[@mikecrook]

you are right, currently in progress, but know our standards and eye of detail is high. I know we will get to that point in the near future but this video is mainly about the core mechanics of the board @@SaltSpirits

[@cyclopsentertainment517]

Idk about that one. If you mess with the settings you can make your tricks looks basically however. And your settings determine how physics based the gameplay is. It's actually kinda cool. But yeah I hope they do a lot more with session. They have done a lot for 9 people. But I wanna see so much more

[@PVTParts-eu3zl]

@@cyclopsentertainment517 true, but as someone who’s played the game for a year with almost 200 hours, session is basically the same buggy sometimes but fun game since 1.0 and I’m getting tired of it. Can’t even implement a board throwing animation but walking is a mechanic, might as well use the pin dropper

[@cyclopsentertainment517]

@@PVTParts-eu3zl that's mainly because they are more worried about fixing trick animations and moving the game over to unreal 5 . They aren't focusing on things that don't really matter like throwing down your board

[@heartist256]

Wall rides, transition physics and the ability to edit body proportions got me excited. This is looking promising

[@RubyRoks]

Popping in after watching the interview on Nightspeed's channel. Stoked to see what yall are doing. :)

[@SwedudeEPIC]

Oh interesting, found this through Nightspeeds! I'll definitely keep an eye on this. ✌

[@itspigeonthief]

Look great guys, can’t wait to see the progress in 2024!!

[@3trilliontrees]

[@kyle.chapman]

Omfg so excited for this game!! Thank you Night Speeds for your interview, it led me to this video

[@Skiddyskates]

Looking good! I’m excited to see the controls

[@dreamisover9813]

Great to see how the progress is coming along!

[@tekavideo8510]

I wish you all a very productive 2024 - progress so far looks amazing!

[@DBrown_XD]

You guys are seriously PHENOMENAL!!!! Just by watching this early & beginning foundation of the project in this video, it's like I could literally FEEL the true passion and motivation and hard work you all are putting toward this! I really don't think I've ever been anywhere near this excited for the future and potential for a game in my life... and it's due to the fact that for YEARS we've all come across all of you dev's names so frequently from the incredible content within the modding community. Amazing work, guys!!! We can't thank you all enough for the work that y'all do....

[@Oizezi]

this game looks promising! i cant wait to play it!!! amazing work!!!

[@Jinseng]

Man this is so dope. Cant wait to play this when it drops, will definitely be keeping my eye on the dev progress. Good shit guys!

[@derekgatzxx]

I cannot wait to check this out. It's looking great

[@properplayzz]

this is incredible, looking very good so far!

[@drabbster]

This looks so damn promising! I really hope you stick with SXL-style controls :D

[@conomedia]

Everything is looking so promising! Skate nerd level seems on point, I do appreciate that. The way the board responds and shapes changing the functionality… so awesome! Keep it going!

[@Chillfolio]

This looks so sick. Man the wall rides, damn!

[@SupaDaBloopa]

This is already looking better than MOST skate sim games, and it’s barely through development. I’m in love with this and can’t wait to support it in the future!

[@validustm]

Just want to say thank each and every one of you for the love and support! Stoked to see what we can deliver for you in 2024! Happy new year!

[@NinjaVanish89]

Looks so amazing!!! Keep up the work guys!!! Just saying those feebs and smiths are buuuuuutter🤌🏽

[@Mardinovic]

Amazing stuff boys!

[@collinthomas6288]

this is awesome

[@failure1068]

So excited for this, already looks better than any skate sim out there. Just hop you guys do well with the animations, because it seems like you guys got the physics down packed. I like how the board can be caught in any position allowing every trick to be performed and landed different.!!!

[@ShallowBassist]

2024 just started and already the best year yet!

[@tactical1981]

Finally some devs who know what needs to be done!

[@zimzim8480]

The McQueen nailed it 🤣💯

[@glolay]

beautiful

[@stepanhanzalek9281]

Loooking good!!! ❤

[@clayfighter]

Super exciting

[@ghostingalong]

So up on this. A good chill skate game is all that's needed. Get that gameplay sick and graphics decent and i'll just disappear. NO FTP!

[@o_sdlr9693]

The guy T-posing on the skate board had me rolling.

[@agetherge]

Let's fucking go !!

[@baggytony]

Keep it up!!

[@LP5]

LFG!!!!

[@TheSaiyan]

just watched Nightspeeds video and thought of an idea for the impossible. I don't 100% understand how said modifier works or what it is... but what I think would be quite easy and intuitive to do is to use the L3 and R3 buttons for this. For example, let's say I'm regular and want to do a 360 shove. I will flick the R analog stick to do the trick, however, if I want to do an impossible, I will have to press the R3 button first (that toggles the foot + grip connection at all times) then when I do the 360 shove imput I will get an impossible since my foot will stay stuck to the board for the duration of my trick. If you want to the a front foot impossible, press L3 then do a nollie 360 shove imput and so on. I hope it makes sense what I'm trying to say here and if it does I hope it helps in some way. Good luck with the game, it looks amazing 🔥

[@tiyman1221]

Even for a WIP, this looks so much better than the current games. I swear. Keep it up. Hopefully I’ll have a PC when there early access to it lol

[@antikz3731]

Lol that's a reach. But, it's definitely looking great 😃

[@saucehardt]

reaching for a like and reply cause all that was cap buddy

[@tiyman1221]

@@saucehardtokay, Maybe then not current games lol. I was excited when I commented that. This just looks super sick

[@saucehardt]

@@tiyman1221 it does look promising, looking forward to more progression

[@gh0stfaceR]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@csSpinns]

yes

[@typho6279]

Hell will freeze over before we get a skateboard game where the 360 flips aren't completely horizontal.

[@jlee6566]

Very nice progress - cant wait ! But one technical question: Why did u choose Unity over Unreal?

[@WalleyedWillow]

Skant borb :)

[@wagonmike5243]

this look soooooo sick. if you need a map i building a mod one for an another game ;)

[@mikecrook]

We will have support for maps, along with supporting the map creators along the way

[@verboxinho]

Will this have similiar concept to Skater XL or Session? Like another skate simulator. Both of these games feel empty because they are lacking content(unlockables, story etc.). I hope you have this figured out.

[@KharonYT]

If you want story go play skate 3. Simulators are about skating not unlocking stuff

[@arnoldhagen8577]

Please tell me that this is going to be a realistic skate sim @.@ it looks really promising and we do need a new one.

[@mikecrook]

you nailed it, aiming for the best experience

[@arnoldhagen8577]

@@mikecrook fingers crossed :D

[@SiinMusic]

epic

[@oskiiisession]

I support this 1000%

[@failure1068]

ONE LAST THING. BACKSIDE AND FRONTSIDE BIG SPINS ALWAYS LOOK GOOFY AND UNNATURAL IN SKATE GAMES. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO A CLEAN FRONT FOOT CATCH AND LAND IN SWITCH NICE AND SMOOTH.😎 SORRY I'M JUST SO DAMN EXCITED FOR THIS!!!

[@Wakeupyouredying]

Interested!

[@kingwubwub7936]

yo where can i find these beats

[@diolate2]

Well hello

[@drinya88]

Will be offboard interaction?

[@mikecrook]

on the list!

[@failure1068]

ALSO CAN YOU GUY KEEP IN MIND TO MAKE THE POP-OUT OF GRINDS LOOK MORE REALISTIC. LIKE IN REAL LIFE WE DONT NECESSARILY POP-OUT THE WAY WE POPPED IN. IT'S MORE LIKE A FLICK OUT. LIKE FOR SHUV-ITS, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LITERALLY SHUV-IT OUT INSTEAD OF "POP" SHUV IT OUT.

[@Chillfolio]

You building in Unreal or Unity?

[@validustm]

unity 2022 as of current.

[@miguelangelo96]

when sirs

[@KiibaSkates]

huh so you're makin session in unity with XL controls pretty much, noice!

[@glolay]

if this game feels anything like session then they have completely missed the mark on what theyre trying to accomplish

[@GottaGloUp1Day]

not gettin my hopes up ever again
