About This Game

READ BEFORE YOU BUY:

• DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU EXPECT AAA

  • this is a solo developer with help from a growing passionate community working in spare time

• DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU EXPECT A COMPLETE FINISHED PRODUCT

  • this is an early access game in early development

  • if you are curious to follow early development, join in now. Otherwise this game is not ready for you. Do not spend your money now.

• DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU EXPECT: PURE ARCADE, OR PURE SIM

  • this is an experiment to bridge precise digital trick triggering (arcade style) in a world of realistic dimensions (sim style)

  • blockbuster arcade style skateboarding games already exist, so do premier sim style skateboarding games

  • this game is looking for the middle ground, realistic dimensions but instant trick triggering, while still allowing some over-the-top fun like grinding powerlines and jumping off buildings

IF THE ABOVE INTERESTS YOU, THEN CARRY ON. OTHERWISE, THIS GAME IS PROBABLY NOT FOR YOU AND YOU SHOULD NOT SPEND MONEY ON IT. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.

THIS GAME IS NOT ON EARLY ACCESS TO MISSLEAD OR RIP ANYONE OFF. THIS IS A PASSION, COMMUNITY BUILDING PROJECT SHARING EARLY DEVELOPMENT OPENLY.
