KinematicBoarder (Prototype)
A downloadable game for Windows
This game is not done and probably won't be done.
KinematicBoarder is a prototype of a snowboarding game that I never finished. This was the first 3D project I ever built and shared, but I held off releasing it to try and fix jank. A year later and I haven't fixed any jank, so I'm pulling this out of the vault so more of my early experiments are shared and made public.
I'm incredibly interested in trying to do this kind of game again though. I've got lots of fun ideas to try and keep the game feeling...normal.
Any bugs or jankiness is intentional, and I will probably not be fixing much about it until I try the project idea again in the future.

The visual aesthetics here are really neat! Reminds me of the low poly snowboarding game in FF7 on PSX, but with kind of a slick understated demoscene sensibility.
I impressed myself by managing to make it all the way to the end before falling off. 😆
The ride actually feels pretty great for a prototype ~~ great work!
Thanks for playing it! Someday I’ll come back to this gameplay style. This still feels really different compared to the likes of SSX Tricky, but someday I’ll give extreme sports handling another shot.
For a first try with 3D games this is nice and I see potential.
It's sad that this is an abandoned prototype, it could be a fun game with more features and maybe some simple graphics.
But I understand, sometimes the need to move on to other projects is stronger than the wish of finishing something.
