this looks exactly like how my 15 years old me would imagine the perfect parkour game with the same fluid gameplay when i played skate 3

Dude, this game seriously looks like so much fun. I know many have compared this game to Skate 3 already, but this gives me very similar vibes (which is a really good thing lol). The movements look super fluid and fun to combine into lines. As soon as you are able to put this on PlayStation, I’ll buy it! 👍👍

[@s0rt3xyt57]

Yo man, this game looks crazy good. Great job, for being a solo developer it is amazing. If I could advise one new movement that you could add you could add the cat pass from a flat surface to a lower surface, to get new movement in. I want to say it again, great job and congratulation like fr.

[@motivusthesage]

I've had to get my video game parkour fix from playing Vector. Glad there's another worthy contender 💯💯

[@CodeWaspTutorials]

Your precision jump should contain a line close to the end to indicate "perfect". I think aiming for the perfect precision jump and being slightly over shouldn't punish you by resetting but by not being as powerful.

[@HadiKazemzadeh-p8w]

I like your game but: As a little parkourist I could say that trick is not cork, that's Backflip 720 or double twist As a game developer I could say your game is very cool to be made by just one person. but I think first you should get it to a person to see if he is comfortable with it then you release it. But your game is very cool

[@Raynn6969]

[@flishin2939]

I would like to see playing tags with a friend in this game

[@G7ue]

Three things I think this game needs to be successful. (Its already looking amazing btw, these are just my personal thoughts) 1. A level editor. Most people will likely get burned out pretty fast if there is not constant content being added. Let the community keep it alive! 2. Mod/Workshop support. Even something as simple as modding in a custom character, or outfits, would be great! 3. The ability to create your own line, then challenge your friends to beat your score/time. (Being able to see the ghost of their best time/score would be a huge plus.) I'm super happy that someone is finally making a good parkour/freerunning game, I wish you the best, and truly hope this becomes the best game it can be!

[@maccloni]

Agreed 💯

[@kurokaishirintsuga4101]

I agree with this too

[@CausticCaterpillar]

These are fantastic additions to this game. It would definitely take it to another level of replayability and keep people constantly coming back for more. Especially the level editor and the ghost trail giving people a reason to master different moves in the game in order to be faster.

Like I said on Instagram, I am going to be spending an unhealthy amount of time on the game. Thank you for sacrificing your time to make this game.

[@pkslush]

Looks incredible! Great job so far, mate. Personal little movement wishlist, tho: 1. More vertical movement options, ways to get up and avoid the standard climb up animation. From straight up rock climbing to dynos to being able to do vertical wallruns anywhere and jumping out of them at any time. Essentially wall kicks or tic tacs. This would really open up a whole nother dimension of player expression and also provide a way to keep momentum while turning around. 2. The ability to hold the climb button mid-air and reach out with the left stick to grab any handholds, more like in Assassin's Creed 1-Revelations. Would allow for some very high risk, high reward leaps. This might interfere with the may striding currently works, so 3. Maybe simply make the striding part of the sprint. Sprinting of any ledge would initiate a stride, even if there isn't a beam there. This would also add a bit of depth through button disciple, having to let go of sprint right at a ledge to only drop down and not stride off. As right now, there is really no reason not to always hold down the sprint button. You might have to increase the standard walk speed though to make it more usable in parkour, tho. 4. Also if you ever do add a manual slide on even ground, that could be a stylish way to avoid the auto-stride off a ledge and could even be combined with the climb button to immediately transition to a cat hang. Keep up the good work! 🏃

[@pkslush]

some constructive feedback after playing for a bit: Jumping and climbing feels rather inconsistent. The climb up in general, but especially if you try to do it mid-air (being able to always climb up/wallruns vertically would definitely with this 😉). I feel the jump and climb buttons should be sacred. They should never perform moves that will easily lead you to bail, especially not as easily as double tapping jump. The regular jump as a whole does not feel too great. Chaining jumps is pretty unsatisfying, unless they're precision ones. Manually jumping onto a small obstacle to then jump higher is rather underwhelming and a bit jank. Maybe you could have it so that chaining regular jumps will increase the power each time, as if you were holding the button down? Think of Mario's tripple jump. Another thing that still feels lacking is the climbing and what you can do from and how you can get into a cat hang. Simply hanging from a ledge in front of you, turn vaults, cat to cat, etc.

[@NeonNapper]

It's funny that one solo dev has put more thought into settings, quality of life, gameplay and transparency than AAA devs do..seriously good work mate, keep doing what you're doing.

[@KokahZ777]

Tomorrow is my birthday! This dropping is probably the best present I could ask for.

[@ZedEdge]

Absolutely stellar. It feels like we've seen numerous studios with seasoned devs, huge budgets and plenty of time repeatedly miss the mark with parkour games. And here comes a solo dev, knocking it out of the park on his first go in just 9 months. From the streamlined yet rich mechanics to the clean and crunchy aesthetic to the wide accessibility options and even the personable presentation - it's all simply perfect.

[@ionside8959]

It needs a stamina meter which you can build up. each trick needs to consume some stamina. This will encourage strategic gameplay with the tricks you perform depending on how much stamina you have. It could be fun. For example, After a series of 5 back flips, it impossible to do another high endurance trick all in one chain.

[@ienjoicomics101]

DUDE ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! This looks far better than I imagined for early access. So pumped to play tomorrow!!

[@jojoviviator9258]

Great showcase! I'm a game designer, and amateur parkour practicioner. So I'm hyped for the game. Some suggestions for future updates: - Create a level builder. Players can then build new levels for themselves, giving the game a lot more content for relatively little work on the dev end. Also really helps with community building, and it's just perfect for a game like this where you kind off choose your own challenges. - Add more environmental interactions. I want to fling around poles, jump through glass, bounce on tight canvas, slide across wet patches etc. And of course allow players to place those in their own levels. - The meter is a really smart addition that allows for a ton of design space. Perhaps you could have it do other things then just a speed boost as well. Like pressing it during a wallrun keeps your feet sticking to the wall. Or having it on changing some tricks into other more advanced tricks. - A game mode where you have to collect several "items" across the map in any order on a timer. It's like a time trial but allows for more choice, freedom of expression, and for people to come up with new routes. - A replay mode with camera controls, to make sick clips of the runs. Will also greatly help the reach of the game because people tend to share those after they've made them. Especially if you can work in a 'post to KZbin ' esque functionallity. - I think you did great with not scopecreeping the project, but it has to be said. This game would be hella fun with multiplayer. Imagine playing tag with a friend! Foregoing that, you could also choose to go with some AI security guards chasing you, or having to chase a crow that was mean to your pidgeon or something. - Obvious, but, more moves and tricks! Will increase the amount of options in the game exponentially. Especially wanting to see diverolls, catpasses, barswings, underbars, tick-tacks, balancing, pole slides. Great job on getting it to launch! I'm just excited by the potential in this game.

[@TheQxY]

Maybe a fun progression idea. The pigeon mode is initially locked for each map and can be unlocked by climbing to the highest or most difficult to reach point in the map. So, you'd have to solve a climbing puzzle to unlock it. Seeing the popularity of games like Only Up I think this could bring broader interest to the game!

[@tomdemey5606]

Or like the climbing puzzles in Assasins creed!

[@cyniqueowo9016]

[@brutheguy2193]

this seems like an easy cool extra step and also little climbing puzzles like tomdemey said mayb a place that is super hard to get through where you have to line up your jumps and be more precise

So far the game looks and plays super nice! The only thing that I'm missing (as a PC main) is to be able to customise your controls. Since the default layout is WASD, this is pretty "hard" for AZERTY keyboard users (as myself). Also it would be nice if you could just customise the keys to whatever you like. This would be HUGE for me! For the rest, I'm already waiting for new maps and so on! This game is very relaxing and addicting at the same time :D Keep up the good work!

[@imroy-_-8120]

I just got into the game and you’ve probably answered this already somewhere. My question is do you plan on keeping the soundtrack the vibe it is (not saying I don’t like it) but I think it would be awesome to go around the map to some chill rap, or even rock music! Chill games like this always have the best soundtracks so I’m just wondering what your future plan is for it!! Keep up the great work:)

[@6TheBACH]

This looks SOOOO boring. There are no stakes involved, eveything looks so stiff, there is no way to actually "combo" stuff when you are on the ground "walking", vaulting looks wightless, the whole momentum of the "mass of an object" is lacking. A lot to work and the whole gameloop is still missing, good luck.

[@antobenilol]

Absolutely amazing, do you think you can add a progression system for the customization? I think it would be a cool idea, like put some challanges or some certain criteria has to be reached for unlocking something like... I don't know a Rainbow Backpack or something like that, maybe if you make a x50 combo you unlock a different pigeon, maybe change the pigeon for another type of animal, there's a lot of potential there, i don't know just an idea, game looks so great definetly looking forward to more updates!

[@kozmoz267]

Honestly, from what I've seen in many gameplay videos, the game still feels a bit janky, and I don't mean the animations. The control over the character isn't sharp, and it doesn't feel dynamic. It seems like everyone would navigate through a place the same way and it doesn't fell unique. I think you must check out DL2 on this topic. In that game, you can traverse the same area in at least 3-4 different ways if you manage to achive the sharpness and dynamism in that game this would be the best parkour game ever created. Also it would be a cherry on top if you add dynamic music in game too. Keep up the great work man I will be following and supporting you.

[@BTBSOUNDS]

Tbh I really wanna see some kinda chase mode in the game, almost like a 3D version of the banger mobile game Vector or a 3rd person version of Mirror's Edge. Maybe some Tony Hawk Pro Skater style stuff too, with an objective mode that gives you a list of things to do/collect within a 2 minute timer or something which lives aside from the freeplay/freeroam mode rn The movement looks fucking incredible so far tho, can't wait to see what comes next beyond the time trials and trick challenges.

I imagine you probably already have, being in the neiche of making a parkour game, but you should take a look at the dying light 2 map. Those devs seem to be at their core, map designers, and the way that games movement flows in that map is really unique. And good on you with making this game, its really quite a nice experience.

This seems like the perfect video to ask this question: Why do developers not design their default controls to be able to jump and move the camera at the same time? Is it just because that's familiar? Every game I play a game I rebind jump to R1/Rb (thank you steam input!) and put the lesser used actions on the abxy buttons that way you can keep your fingers on the joysticks and triggers/shoulders for 90% of the time and have very precise control. Just an honest question, I like what I'm seeing in the game so keep it up!
