I Played Every Surf Game Ever Made

[@simon.in.motion]

Hey thanks for testing my game (Hoverflow) ! Very glad to hear your feedback, it motivated me to start developing it again :D

[@Repster]

great game man totally underappreciated, best of luck!!!

[@DegenBasementGaming-cx4nl]

Where can we get it? IS there a demo?

[@hery8148]

Hey man great game you really have the best 3D aerial movement I don't understand how the strafing mechanic in FPS hasn't evolved in your way it's simple accessible and fun and despite the fact that your game is still in early access it has a calm, cool and relaxing ambience and I honestly think you've made the best surfing game in the world disgusted to know that a game like this is so unpopular. I wanted to ask you how you coded the ability to strafe in the air with the forward key?

[@simon.in.motion]

@@DegenBasementGaming-cx4nl Damn I had no notification about these comments sorry ! Yes there is a free demo on Steam, I'd be glad to hear your feedback as well I'm developping it full time now !

[@simon.in.motion]

@@hery8148 Thanks a lot for the kind words, it means a lot !! For how I coded the strafe in the air : when you press the "forward" key, the horizontal velocity from your rigidbody will be adjusted to face where the camera is looking :)

[@chrisshanaz]

Thanks for playing my game (*NEW* SCUFFED EPIC BHOP SIMULATOR 2023), it's really funny seeing a good surfer like you have trouble with the game since it's so scuffed.

[@FullCitris]

I can tell you that Krunker is more of a Bhopping game and slopes are usually just used to generate an insane amount of speed when going DIRECTLY towards them and spamming jump (w/scrollwheel)

[@glowytheglowbug]

lmfao or flying up and across them! its kinda buggy but does the job, the bhop sprint thing is really fun too to get insane speeds

[@demonxuka4732]

b hopping in krunker is just spamming the space bar and the whole game is full of hackers its not even fun

8:10 the update to the Roblox surf just made it so maps made with slightly bumpy curved ramps now get picked up on more, as the character picks up every small change no matter how small. It also the makes the physics essentially confused enough that it just restarts you. This happens on quite a few maps, just usually they do not appear in server list much as people don't want to play buggy maps. Also there are simple differences in height of character, strafing, gravity and others, which can be seen in channelog in game

banger vid man. But I just can't help but think that a map in Portal 2 that has no turns but instead uses portals on walls behind ramps as "navigation" could be absolute killer

[@dragoncat2000]

a surf game with a better movement system that includes portals in maps sounds like it'd be sick + challenging to learn

thank you for mentioning hoverflow, i have never played a game in the surfing realm before. and that one looked approachable so i just bought it. the dev is still making updates and its a lot of fun

[@emrebaskocak]

This was a fantastic video. It introduced me to so many games I've never even heard of before and I'll be checking them out, especially Hoverflow. I hope you'll make a video on Quakeworld surf though. Surf in Quakeworld is probably my favourite out of all of them and I'd love to see you dive into it as well.

[@disruptivebuilds]

Banger vid! I would actually cry if you made bhop videos too, there's nothing out there in this video style for bhop.

i would have never thought there were so many surf games lol banger vid as always

[@kadysurf]

Fire video. So many decent surf games out there that I didn't even know about.

[@bowmin1]

Oh nice, something that I made appeared in this video. In March 2016 I made a map for Roblox Surf, and it is featured in the introduction video that was made the same year. You can see it at 7:14. It's the sky map with islands, and at 8:16 it appears again. Ironically, that map that he loads into when starting the game at 8:16 is also a map that I created.

[@Repster]

thats awesome! nice maps, rsurf is based ngl

[@bowmin1]

@@Repster Thanks! I made the maps 7 years ago now and it always nice to see that I've made a surprising amount of impact on the game since then. And yeah, Rsurf is pretty based. Developer puts an absolutely astonishing amount of time into making it and the older Bhop version, I've watched some of his streams and the effort is way beyond what I see from some big game developers. Nice video by the way. I'll sub.

[@garneet]

name makes sense bowman

[@rXdanep]

as someone who has loved surf for years i have to say the best surf versions i have ever played was csgo and gorilla tag, with gorilla tag it is odd at first but it is so intuitive and it plays into the main gameplay as well and it is real fun, i loved your video! very entertaining keep it up!

[@Repster]

TY!

[@knyt0]

bro back when the ice map first came out in gorilla tag and you could ride on the walls.. best vr experience ever, i think i stopped playing not long after the dev removed it

[@syctis]

that krunker caught me off guard

[@austinweed8335]

CSS will always rein supreme in surf, nothing else competes in my opinion. Have talked few people on CSS servers that learned about surf from Roblox and found their way to CS eventually. Interesting phenomenon to have all these young players getting into such an old game. Some of them seemed to be really good at surf too which is cool to see. I’d bet half these Roblox players weren’t even born the first time I tried surf. The community still being alive today is a testament to how great surf is!

[@Ninya06]

The half-life surf video is most definetly segmented, he loves segmenting / changing values in console and not stating so in the description :D but half-life does have some really good surf maps, it does function abit differntly but its still fun. btw people on HL usually play on a mod called AG (Adrenaline Gamer), thats where almost all movement players are.

[@NytronX]

Do you have any videos on conc'ing or ledging? These are two special types of skill-based movement that I think are even harder than surfing or bhop. To me, CS beta through 1.3 and TFC were the pinnacle of skill-based movement.

[@Vartazian360]

Really cool video. Correction though: Vivid Surf is UE5 which is why its so heavy to run. I think the idea is to allow creators to not have to bake lighting by using Lumen (software ray traced lighting) tech but its very heavy and I ended up not using that feature on my 2080S. Vivid surf was a pretty cool standalone. Id say the surf feels 'looser' and the speed physics behave differently. Was fun to play and relearn the surf physics

[@thecataclysmforeseer]

Insanely good video. When i first found out you could surf in roblox i was awestruck for like a week but this video gave that same feeling again and again every few minutes. The editing was perfect, wasn't show offish or distracting (like the editing of 90% of youtube videos these days) and the focus was on the games. You showcased games with only a few steam reviews. Most "i played every ____" videos aren't this high quality and don't go as deep into their respective topics but still get so so many views but you went to the bottom of the iceberg and back and to do it on a such a niche thing like surf is admirable. Maybe i'm biased because i play surf but it's still objectively a really good video.

[@Repster]

thank you so much! couldnt do it without my community, they did excellent research

[@SaltSpirits]

Every time I’m reminded of it, I start to think about how letting Splitgate die like it did might be the biggest mistake the gaming community has made in recent years. We had a title that truly tried to push the bounds and do something that hadn’t really been done before, and it did it well. The mtx wasn’t overbearing or greedy, the gameplay was great, I never had any issues with hit registration, it was well optimized. It did everything right. On paper, it was almost perfect. Why didn’t it succeed?

[@merukit]

good vid, but to offer minor corrections godot is a game engine, not a programming language, and it looks like the "browser utopia" was also made in godot since the site icon is the default godot icon

[@pxlfall]

1:15 tickrate for surf servers is manually set to 102.4, both in css and csgo

[@RekzaFS]

You are missing KZMod surf. It was a standalone KZ game but it also had surf and its own unique maps. Not sure if its still available on Steam. Great video though! Was really surprised to see some surf ramps in Quake in 2002. I know Mariowned would be sad to know he could no longer put inventor of surfing on his CV haha.

[@NakedTrashPanda]

I personally do not think that is considered surfing in Quake. Similar ideas but besides maintaining speed using a ramp, the similarities end.

Stumbled upon your content, didn’t expect to sit through the whole video. But damn you have gained a subscriber

[@cyrusposting]

Great video! You missed one of the more significant reasons people prefer CS:S over CS:GO, which is the ability to set the specific speed on your turnbind.

Csgo surf feels like waking up with a limp arm, leg and brain

[@Exima_yt]

ooooh THAT'S why i've been getting emails with people giving feedback to my stupid surfgame that i uploaded on crazygames in 2019 as a test to see if surfing is possible in webGL LMAO I thought that game was already long gone dead and buried, but suddenly i've been getting emails from people apparently playing it and giving feedback to it (i got one where a dude was BIG MAD) lol. Thanks for calling it high quality- at the time i basically just ripped a bunch of maps from cs go and randomly cobbled them together in blender and threw them into unity because it was mostly a proof of concept to see if pixel textures & pixel animations could work & if surfing could be realized in webGL with the tickrate lag.

[@Repster]

lol sorry for the necrobump

Sooo… you haven’t tried wolfenstein enemy territory “trick jumping”? I was sad to see you didn’t play that.

[@Slipperylmao]

Your stream on ballistic zen made me sink 20+ hours speedrunning and breaking the game equally. The game now has a line system where you can share your own lines with other people, with a little jank of course but no game is good without a little jank

[@AcIdBARRY]

A year ago when i still had my vr i stumbled upon Surf Udon and because hadn't surfed in like a year at this point I thought i give it a go. And despite obviously being different it was really enjoyable and sparked my interest in surfing again. But for me CSGO surf will always have a special place that no clone can get to :)

Great video man, been playing this game mode since Source, love source movement so much. I've been playing momentum mod I can't wait for it to go public.

[@Repster]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Bettehem]

You should try Urban Terror and it's Jump maps. The game is based on the quake3 engine and has really good movement mechanics. With the game being over 22 years old, it has a ton of maps for different skill levels too. Just know that you don't use A+D, but just hold sprint and W and do the rest with your mouse. Doing smooth curves with your mouse will allow you to gain speed. It's almost like drifting, but the more you are sideways, the faster you can go. There are icy maps which is somewhat comparable to surf in source games, and regular jump maps, which are more focused on b-hopping and walljumps

[@OrganicGreens]

I wish there was more freestyle type maps in modern cs. I used to only surf in surf_ski back in the day on 1.6. A lot of other people did the same finding their own flow and style for the map. We looked at it kind of like a skate park rather than levels or clearing gaps or breaking time trials. It was all about style.

[@Noswiatel]

Dang you reminded me of one skate map in CSS I really enjoyed.

[@verify5610]

There is a pretty good free-style skatepark map in CS:GO. It’s called surf_instantdeath and although it’s small, you can definitely do your own route and such. It’s getting more popular - I would look into the creator and similar maps if you’re interested.

On Bhop pro for mobile you can actually gain maximum speed immediately by jumping and rapidly flicking the camera back and fourth so if you see times that look impossible that's what they are doing. It took me a while to figure it out.

[@danyool777]

Glad you highlighted slide in quake, but slide and surf have completely different settings so they arent the same game mode. Same goes in 1.6, as all slide_ maps are played on default settings (10aa) and surf maps were originally created to only be played on 100aa. Same goes for quake 1 as the air acceleration is on default values so they are considered slide instead of surf. Unfortunately csgo lost sight of this and most mappers dont actually understand the difference and they tend to label surf maps as slide when the movement is nowhere near the same.

[@krispyanan]

ive never seen someone in Krunker unironically play and enjoy those abominations of "surf" maps. tho its rlly cool how u paid respect to the actual movement community of various complex jumps/movement routes

[@dirtylinny3279]

Hey love the video! I've played a lot of movement based obbies around 2004, I got into surf later around 2010 in TF2, but I was more wondering if you've ever heard of Bunny Track in the Unreal Tournament games? Bunny Track was my childhood and it was just a very basic obby with jump puzzles etc, but it had one cool mechanic: there is a mechanic in all UT games, where if you double tap a direction, you side dodge in that direction, you can use this horizontal momentum to shoot yourself off of small slanted surfaces. I was wondering if you had ever played it, and if not, I recommend checking it out for yourself, it's what i grew up on and there's still a tiny niche community left, albiet very scarce. If you like surf and weird obscure custom obby maps, try bunny track in unreal torunament 99, theres a ton of dead servers still running you can try, I'd love to see you cover it, no pressure tho, love your content either way

Just want to add that CS 1.6 also had trick surfing not just speedrunning. You mentioned Hald side surf. You can actually do it fully instead of A and D you user W and S.
