That's pretty insane.

You're really gonna send my data to 90 organisations to measure advertising performance?

Why is the cookie given this obscure name? Is it so it's harder to identify later?

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 parts of it several times to be optimal. There is basically 0 gdscript running at runtime. The c++ is far more performant than GDExtension/GDNative/C#. The trees are streamed in and out of the viewport as they become visible. All the tree types and snow render from the same spritesheet. The tree types are pooled instead of created & destroyed. The thing that streams the stuff in and out is optimized. The skiers are rendered using a technique called 'SpriteStacking' where 3d voxel art is rendered into a 2d sheet and 'fanned out' to make a pseudo 3d effect. I even cahc spritestacks are optimized, etc. I even go as far as caching the rotation operations to fan those skier sprites out. The .wasm has been stripped down to ~2.7mb. I want to strip it further and get it smaller. Download size is king. Planning on releasing this on a web platform like crazy games or poki and hoping to build ad revenue.

Next steps are to make it so when you past the boundary fence you enter 'back country mode' that just goes forever and a popup tells you how far youve gone, but if you fall, its game over and ski patrol takes you back. I also want to iterate on the chairlift and make the bots 'queue up'. Not sure about if the chairlift is 'fun' or not. I want the mountain to feel like a real ski resort, but nobody wants to wait.

Anyways, this game is still in development, let me know what you think.

Wheres the scary monster at the end? Running into the wall is such a tease...

Definitely captures the feel of a ski resort. I really like the feel of controlling the skier too. Performance on my iPad was great in Safari. Nice job so far.

This is awesome. Super fun, love the look.

One thing: I wish there was a way to quickly reset to the top of a chairlift (map maybe?) or set a session and easily teleport back to it.

Reason is, I took the sunshine chair (I think its called that, the one on the right) and then went super far right into the trees cause I was curious if anything was over there, but the trees are super tight so when trying to go back, I keep hitting them and falling, and it's a bit tedious.

Really cool! The sprite style reminds me of bit of old school 2D GTA.

One suggestion, some info at the start on the controls would be helpful. I didn't realize it was mouse controls and spent a while hitting different keys trying to figure out how to get moving.

This is brilliant. The skilift mechanic is brilliant: no boring queue at the bottom but the usual fun chaos at the top.

I like the freedom to go off piste.

Just needs choices! More lifts and more runs.

Pretty cool man.

1. I would replace the chairlift sequence in place of a shortened animation or just make it teleport.

2. Keyboard shortcuts.

3. Where's the monster? ;)

This is lots of fun. One bit of feedback for mobile: Would be nice if a back swipe took me out of the menu back to the game.

love it :) The controls with the mouse are impossible with a track pad tho :/ maybe have a keyboard option?

I was curious if the Yeti would appear, I assume it is on the to do list. Great game. Keep going with it.

Awesome! You really nailed it.

Pretty fun! Does seem to have some glitching issues on my iPad Pro - particularly if I cross through a race flag the sound completely glitches and the frame rate stutters for a second.

EDIT: one further note, once the skier has achieved a certain speed, and it shows the flames underneath the skis, it's almost like the graphics are being rendered in separate loops. The skier maintains a consistent frame rate, but the trees seem to be rendered almost at a half frame rate, so they appear to be slightly flickery. I can't tell if this was done deliberately for optimization purposes but it was a bit distracting.
