Well, it seems there have been a recent interest in computer skiing games with the improvment of DNA spin. Well, it got me thinking. We need a game made by skiers based on suggestions and input from people on here. The past few weeks iv been attempting to put something together. This however, is not something that will be done in a week or two, it is an on-going project.

Let me get to the point! I need your suggestions and input for what would want to see in a game. Understand that i have limits and am not a professional developer, so keep them realistic!

And for those that are interested in this sort of thing, this is how i am working on making it (note: this is a bunch of technical blah):

-It will be delivered in either a stand alone projector or be web based.

-This will be a realtime 3d interactive game

-The game greation will be based in 3ds and Director 3d. Models will be made in 3ds and exported for development in director with .W3D

-If you want to try and create something similar, you will need Reactor for 3Dmax. Physics are based on the Reactor/HavoK physics engine, that is available in maya, 3ds and director, alowing scenes with havok properties to be interchange. (If you want a copy of Havok/Reactor for max, i can send you a copy)

Any one who has experience in any of this who would like to give me suggestions, assistance, that would be great.

Thanks!

-Mike

im still here, just really busy.

The game is getting there, still lots of technical things to iron out.

I should have a low quality testing version by july 1st. Donators will get thier hands on it first. Everyone else will have to wait till september-ish to play the full game :D

ryancobb - go to www.havok.com and download it

i know if this is too late to make a suggestion with the actual gameplay, but i will make the suggestion anyways. if you can, make it so you can like tap the down key, so you can add some cork, or tap the up key to take some away. you would be able to make stuff more steeze that way, and it would make it that much more fun

well, iv had a few programming breakthrough's and everything is looking good once again. I finally managed to set up bonesplayer to control things like grabs and crouches through the code.

One thing I need before i can start working on this is a good 3d skier model. I jast cant make a good looking one with so few polygons. It will work no problem, but im just not satisfied. If anyone wants to give me a hand or send a model to help get things moving faster, that would be great. (preferably in metric units (cm) and optimized for bones)

Thanks for the support

P.S. 40 messages a day asking 'is it done yet' can get a bit annoying at times. I understand that you want me to finish and are trying to help, but it can be a little irritating after the 20th or 30th message.

And Mommy..for that post, ill take an month or so just for you. :)
