Check it out: www.snowthegame.com

SNOW is the first true freeride and freestyle game for skiers and snowboarders. Based on the free-to-play model, SNOW looks to restart the winter sports genre taking the player back to basics refining scale, physics and controls to capture the majesty of the mountain. SNOW is a game for riders, by riders.

SNOW will be released for free later this year and developed according to feedback from the community.

Here's the trailer: http://vimeo.com/29075248

It takes a long time to develop a game like this. Just use your patients. It's summer time anyways so go outside and do something

Their newest stuff is here:

I'm starting to lean to the other side with some of you. They really should release a beta or something because it looks amazing.














That's like handing a pedophile a naked nine-year-old and not expecting anything.

SNOW have implied through a comment on their facebook that the first edition of this game will be an alpha without snowboarding.


A guy posted: '
when is your expected release date? Since it's going to be free to play couldn't you release the alpha which doesn't contain snow-boarding early if possible? I really can't wait for this much longer.'

SNOW then responded: 'That's basically the plan'




It seems they are trying to get this out as fast as possible but without it being shit...

I'm not sure that means anything at all. All I get from it is that they are making good progress, but it might still take a while.

These pictures don't look like they were taken during gameplay, they look like a screenshot of your map and a photoshopped character in the air.

I would count myself as a pretty decent shopper and this doesn't look shopped at all. The lighting is in par with CryEngine3 and from what the terrain and lighting filters are.

If you look on their forum, it says that they aren't interested in crowdfunding right now.
