Snow Bored

I came back from a snowboarding trip and made a game for my friends to play in class. It was also my first go at character customisation.

After a snowboarding trip

Snowboarding was fun, and I’d just been on a trip before I started this. I wanted to make something my friends and I could play in class, so I spent time getting the movement to feel good.

Like a lot of my early games, it gave me a reason to figure things out because I wanted to play the result myself.

Figuring out the hats

This was the first time I made a system where you could buy different hats and equip them on your character. It was a small feature, but I enjoyed working out how to build it.

I’ve used some of what I learned from the hat system in later games. It’s one of the things I remember most about making this one.
