Aerial Skiing Prototype

[bonehead07]

Walaber is working on a very cool looking freestyle skiing game! reminds me of Ski Stunt Simulator!

here is a video: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG5-Ghluhs8

[tailbus]

looking good

[M45t3r]

Yeah it looks good, but why is he headbangin while jumping off the ramp ?

[Amynue]

Looks amazing! It has even deformable skiies. Can't wait for first playable version!

[JeffWeber]

That looks amazing! Excellent job.

Using interactive dynamics in 3D has got to be tough to develop!

Look forward to seeing this progress.

-Jeff Weber

[BiT]

Developers finally start using gamepads on PC's a bit more :)
Gymnast is till owning big time for me, and this looks promising.

I HOPE this might mean a 3D ski stunt game.
That would be fucking epic.

[Virtue]

Aha!.... A few days ago I saw a video by walaber of a ragdoll controlled by an Xbox controller. The video's description wasn't too clear, but now I see what it was for!

Damn....Xbox controllers....

[walaber]

I see everyone found the latest youtube video :D

I hope to make the game basically a fully 3D version of Ski Stunt, where using a game controller (in order to get analog control that allows flipping AND twisting) you can do all sorts of crazy flips and tricks.

No details on the actual game features yet, I'm just concentrating on getting the physics to work first. I'm making good progress though.

in that first video, I was really bad at controlling the character (and the joints were too flimsy), I'm better now :P

I'll post more when I make some new progress.

You're always putting so much emphasis on using the 360 controller in all of your recent games, are you ever going to think about putting one of them of XBLA? I thought Jello Car would have done great on there, especially since you made it in XNA.

Gymnast is going to be on Xbox's XNA creator's club thing for the public to download.

I really need to buy an adapter for my controller... I'm missing out on all of this Walabery goodness. :P

It will (hopefully) come for us 360'ers in the fall. HOPEFULLY. *Does not point a pistol at Microsoft :D*

[ShaggE]

"Max, how do you carry a pistol when you don't wear pants?"

"None of your damn business, Sam."

(Sorry, any mention of pistols makes me think of that quote :p)

Ontopic: I hope so. Consoles + Homebrew = win.

[ben clark]

Sorry but, "HAAALUEGHLUYA!, HALLLEUGHLUA!, halleughlula! halaluya!, HALLLAAALOOOOYA!!!!" *ergem* sorry bout that, oh yeah and walaber you are now god of physics games, if only they would inplement this intp stair dismount 2 :D, also I can imagine game ideas beyond just skiing!! :)

[frodo091]

"Max, how do you carry a pistol when you don't wear pants?"

Oh, wow, nostalgia rush.
I really need to replay that.

I need mah xbox 360 controller to pc hookup thing. I have four wireless controlleers and no adaptors D:

[walaber]

both JellyCar and Gymnast will be available for free as soon as Microsoft lets the Community Games system go live to all Xbox Live users... They've been saying that this will happen in the "Fall"... maybe they will announce more at E3 this year.

This game is only using a controller because I couldn't think of a way to allow for full analog control of a character without using a controller :)

I'll post more when I've made some progress.

I do really like the controller usage in your games. It allows fluidity when, a keyboard only allows basic ones.

arows: right mushroom
wasd: left mushroom
various buttons: other buttons

it ouldn't be as good as on the controllers but atleast it would be possible to play it without controllers

Hopefully they won't use Valve time. It will happen in the Fall! *Comes out early Winter*

heh after looking through that link the wiki had a duke nukem forever wiki link then i stumbled on to a exclusove 2007 duke nuken forever gameplay video and this time it was REAL! IT LOOKS EPIC!!!

[ShaggE]

How did you miss out on that? The internet pretty much exploded on that day.

Ontopic: Any chance of breakable skis?

You mean the internet video game show were there was this bald guy on it and he got to play it and it showed footage of it on just a cam-corder?

Sorry I don't really pay to much attention on internets to much because I'm busy alot of the time.

[ShaggE]

Oh, you mean that video. Yeah, that wasn't as huge an event as the teaser trailer.

[ben clark]

yeah i saw it 2 days b4 it came out on a what you say? "leak". Anyways back on topic, I was wondering is it going to be just large jumps in it? or more like ski stunt were theres hilly off slope terrain?

[monkeyboy1245]

I'm mainly interested on how you're going to control the character.

[pheel]

Looking really good. The way you control the character reminds me of Skate. Which is a good thing :)

[ben clark]

I wouldn't say exactly like skate. and more like ski stunt :D but yeah I see what you mean, anyways walaber can you give us an update on your progress with the controlling or game?

[c--b]

Walaber, have you thought about trying to make a walking simulation like this? One that could be expanded upon as inspiration strikes you? I know it would be tough, I know it's being done with endorphine, but you strike me as the right person to try and make a game with that in it.

The ski demo is amazing by the way, and of course I love gymnast.

Well walking is boring. How about spicing things up a bit, like an obstacle course, or having barrels rolling down the slope as you attempt to dodge them? Too bad this seems really complicated and unachievable.

It would be interesting if one analog controlled one leg and another controlled the corresponding leg.

i agree it would be pretty cool but hard... but i like how the skis bend :D

[ben clark]

Come on walaber bake up fresh juicy goodness, give us an update of your progress ;D

[Eanfom]

Common

Give us a new video at least :3

[ben clark]

Yeah, WE WANT MOAR! :D

[CaptainFunkaho]

AND NAKED WOMEN.
sorry.

[[Dinner]nathan]

new vid and put it on your site i had to find this thread to see if there was any progress

and you should put a comment bit on your website
that would be zawzom

[Shalafi]

*Whef does not have an Xbox 360 controller.

At first I was like "meh, who controls the upper body then?. Nobody is that good to control both legs and take advantage of it"


But woha, it would be very intuitive to turn. Also, the triggers (which can be used as two independent axis) could control the arms. Greatness.

Is it being done with xna?

[Kokopelli13]

Whoa this looks nice. :D Can't wait!

[[Dinner]nathan]

sorry for the UBER EPIC bump its just that i really thought thyis game looked cool and it would suck if it is vapourware or however you spell vapor vapuor i give up lol anyway is this game gone or what?......

[spikerdude111]

vapor is the correct way (i think):p

and yes his game really should be looked at seeing the good amount of
physics implemented to it...

but yes that was a uber bump.:rolleyes:

[Take-Out_Ninja]

Also, nathan. There's something called punctuation. Should look it up.

[[Dinner]nathan]

ok sorry. its just that most forums i use aren't grammar Nazis. no offence of course.

[samysam]

nathan;93771']ok sorry. its just that most forums i use aren't grammar Nazis. no offence of course.

Yeah, They raise their swastika with pride....


Pretty sad that they really care that much about spelling.

[Ryu Hinote]

Perfect posts make a perfect forum. Minimal effort is failure!
SIEG HEIL

Also, as you learn in your life, the better wording/spelling/grammar you have, the more people care to listen and take you seriously.
But now I'm just repeating myself.

Can we have no bumps until actual news is released?

[Farbror Fazer]

Haha! Seeing a mod writing sieg heil is the funniest today. Although I woke up 1 hour ago...

And I'm too a Grammar Nazi, spell right or gtfo :D

[Fooize]

If you were a grammar Nazi you'd know to write "...the funniest thing I've seen today." instead of "...the funniest today".

[Farbror Fazer]

I'm not that much of an English Grammar Nazi, because I'm not English/American. But the little nazi in me pops up if someone really rapes the English language

Learn to respect your forum elders.

[akuryo]

I iz forum old, so i can do teh disrispekt!

No seriously, stop saying things such as "SIEG HEIL" or "The little nazi in me." , seriously, this is a disrespect for a lot of people, plus it adds NOTHING to the forum, except some nazi retarded that are like "OLOLOL A MOD SAID SIEG HEIL! HOW FUN?!".

Thank you.

PS : i'm just telling about the nazi side, i myself can't bear people that think writing "u" for "you" will make them gain a lot of time, but who care's about akuryo's eyes bleeding when trying to read. Actually, i think it's even worst in french.

[killimanjaro23]

i think that doing nazi refferences to grammar nazi is fun,and saying SIEG HEIL cant be that bad like the TF 2 guy that made a Swastiska in his backpack because he got bored
I HAZ PIX TOO
Anyway,On topic people

[Gamerguy99]

The last 5 posts(excluding killmanjaro) were offtopic, and therefore are not contributing to the thread. Unless there's an update or progress to be mentioned, there should be no more posting and the off-topic can be discussed in the Off-topic group.

hehe, nice one :p

But actually this pic is kind of true (the meaning of it). If you're new to a forum you'll probably act a bit stupid before you learn how that perticular forum works (No I'm not hinting at anyone)

You should've seen me when I was new to "flashback", a swedish forum. First thread got locked after 5 min :D

[Farbror Fazer]

serious stuff about not joking about nazisism

It's fun joking about nazis and jews. I think everything should be able to be joked about. (I'm a christian myself so I know how it feels, just laugh and relax)

[UberGimp]

Yeah... Not really. Don't joke about the jews being slaughtered, don't joke about 9/11 and don't make jokes that make others feel bad. It's not worth it.

[Farbror Fazer]

Yeah... Not really. Don't joke about the jews being slaughtered, don't joke about 9/11 and don't make jokes that make others feel bad. It's not worth it.

Offcourse I don't mean jokes like "why did your grandma die? Because she was a fucking jew LOL". There has to be actual humor in it :p

But no more OT in here. I hereby swear that I wont make ANY more posts in this thread

[spikerdude111]

the only way this thread will get back ontopic is if walaber gives us some news on it,
and if he doesnt then we will just have to leave this thread alone.

[Z3R052]

"why did your grandma die? Because she was a fucking jew LOL".

I just laughed my ass off!

[[Dinner]nathan]

yeah and wtf happened to him anyways. did he like die or somethin' coz' he hasn't updated his site in like a year.

EDIT:him referring to walaber

[NinjaNinja7]

wow, looks like clicking on this thread was a great waste of my time. thanks for the awesome offtopic discussion, guys! there's an offtopic group for that, ya kno.

[[Dinner]nathan]

you know that in itself was offtopic soo yeah.... and i really want this game even the demo he plays in the vids looks cool
