Tony Eagle: Amateur Skateboarding

I have massive respect for the programmers of Tony Hawk after doing this. At first i was going to do crash bandicoot but with clickers, and call it "the last of bandicoot" then tie in a stupid plot about how they wont make crash bandicoot 3, but then i decided to try and program something i hadnt really done anything like before and that was a skateboarding game. The guy is a unity character controller and all the pseudo-physics are hand written.. detecting different tricks and when the player should bail was really tough. I put no cap on skillpoints so you can go crazy with that if you play enough. This is my first ludum dare game and while i got frustrated with some code on saturday, it was really fun and i'll be doing the next one as well i think.

Please check out my blog: www.greg-anims.com where i make crappy games like this quite often.

you might wanna change the 'windows' link to 'web', but suuuuper fun (you can tell how fun it is by how many 'u's I used) Doing tricks is super rewarding and falling is just funny, way to go! :)

That was really fun! The gameplay was smooth and overall fun. The sound effects and music were perfect and the course was pretty good.

Ahh! MIDI Superman! That makes all the difference between a messy physics game and a *delightful* messy physics game.
