1. Yeah your probably right but I want to make the chairlift "good"/"real" somehiw. 2. Yes. 3. Yes!

That's exactly what I wanna build!

I think you need the pointer to play this game! I could replace it with something more on theme. Thanks so much for playing!

Where did you read this? We use AdInPlay to serve ads. There is no ads in this game yet, but I'm probably initializing the SDK.

I'm glad you like it. I got a giant mountain that I just gotta fill in. Going to make it so you can go outside the fence and enter an infinite back country mode as well.

Theres a couple things that cause stuttering: the first time a sound is played it is decoded, and the first time a particle effect is seen its shader is compiled (snow and flame particles). The bug your describing with the trees I think is

Thank you. 'The feel of a mountain' is what I wanted. "make your own fun"... I'm a performance guy, this game has been optimized to run on old Android phones at 60fps on the web. It absolutely flies on a desktop PC

Good point. I do plan on adding keyboard controls reminiscent of Ski Free, but simply saying "Use the mouse to ski" is probably a good thing to do.

It does, but it works best if you compile it yourself, strip the engine down and add your own core game code as c++ classes. Not for everyone, but works good for me as I like c++. If you wanna go straight to the web, probably start with pla

Yeah todolist for the back country

Agreed. Only the first chair is really done, rest of the mountain needs a lot of work. Im thinking of adding a map where you can fast travel. Thanks for playing and for commenting.

I need you to know how sick and callous that "it will be good if they die" attitude is to me. I know you think it's just, but as an outsider who isn't as politically inflamed as you are, it looks truly sick.

You're right. You dont have a dog in this fight.

Made this in Godot 3. Majority of the game is written in c++ as a custom module, ie: compiled directly into the engine. We have a fork of godot that has slight tweaks to it. I profile the game using advanced tools and have rewritten several

Jeff Nippard is a YouTuber, natural body building pro and record holder, and he takes about his bulk/cut cycle a lot. I don't know how you can so confidently say "No they don't" when it's literally impossible f

Great game! On mobile, feels like the joystick is a bit too sensitive. Ie: I move my finger a tiny amount and the ball goes flying. What's your company called?

One lone case doesn't remind me of early covid. Many cases reminds me of early covid. Though this case is concerning.

Wow that was adversarial. You are making an assumption about me that is wrong. I'm a high level engineer and have written an absolute boat load of code over my career. I've never been a manager.

I don't know that and I don't like this assumption that only 'managers' make mistakes, or that software engineers are always right. I thinks needlessly adversarial, biased and largely incorrect.

How is this story not on the front page anymore? 375 comments. Seems like a big story to me.

From my experience, it works if your not watching it 'live'. But the moment I put my devices to 'live' it perma-breaks. 504 gateway timed out in web developer tools hitting my local CDN. probably works on some CDNs, does

"move left and right"? This meant nothing to me. 'higher dimension' Still pretty abstract.

> cannot be refactored to a functions because it will have too many variables. I'm skeptical of this. Sounds ugly.

"outside the program space into a higher dimension of programmability" I can visualize this metaphor just fine, but I can't tell why it's useful. Can you make this concept more concrete?

The only site that runs better in chrome for me is YouTube. I use Firefox on my android almost completely because the URL bar is at the bottom, which is simply way better. And also reader mode is awesome. Plus I want to support Mozilla.

Thanks for posting my game. Seeing this post get traction while my posts on HN got none was a bit of a heart breaker.
