Introducing: GlideBoard Slide

Posted by aapiarts - 1 month ago


Introducing:

GLIDEBOARD SLIDE

My next game project


Pre-alpha footage. Everything is subject to change. Audio has yet to be added.


What is GlideBoard Slide?

GlideBoard Slide is a kart racer mixed with a skateboarding game with graffiti style, badass racers and wacky weapons. Grab your Glide™Boards, Glide™Scoots and Glide™Boots and beat your rivals to the finish line by being a skilled trickster or by finishing them off by other means! GlideBoard Slide is aimed to be T rated and uploaded to Newgrounds and Itch.io.


What are the mechanics?

In GlideBoard Slide you can gain speed boosts by doing tricks in the air or on grindrails. The more tricks you do, the more boost you get (up to three levels of boost). Collect money (not shown in the teaser) to buy items at any point of the race. If you finish last or your health drops to zero you are OUT!


The items

Yet to be implemented. Item selector on the right.


Bricks:

A trap layed behind to get other people to drive to a wall.

Spray paint can:

Short ranged spin attack.

Revolver:

Shoots forward a few shots.

Molotov:

A bomb thrown forward with a lingering fire effect on the ground.

Big fan:

A big fan attached to your back to boost you forward at a high speed.


Other items on the list to be added are a shield item and a high jump item.


Who are the racers?

Skim is a rather decent Glide™Boarder who joins tournaments for fun and to kill boredom.

Other characters are currently heavily work in progress. The character roster will be at least 90% original. Only other non-original characters I'm considering of are Lily and Blazer. This only applies to playable characters.


Background characters

so far


Shmeeple, Shmoople, Lyn and Magnus. The exist!

Are you a musician?

If you are a musician/composer who would be willing to help me please hit me up. I can do basically everything except music.

This looks really cool! I will definitively play this one when it comes out

It will take a while but I'll try posting updates here and there for that reason

Looks like a combination of Jet Set Radio, Tony Hawk, and Sonic Mania's Special Stages.
❤️‍🔥

Those first two I get because they were part of the list of inspirations and now that you say it yeah I can see the last one

Yo this is sick looking. Big difference since the last stuff you showed me. Fucking hype to see more progress. Me is still wanting to VA Skim lol.

Prototype state vs Pre-alpha state. We'll see about the voice acting. You are definitely on the list at least

This better have RPG roguelike earthbound-based deck-building elements

Yucky RPGs

@aapiarts So you will be able to build your deck, then?

Mario Kart World has rail-grinding, but it also has wall-grinding, and I ain't payin' $80 for that crap!

I MADE MY PROTOTYPE BEFORE MARIO KART WORLD WAS REVEALED. And I was geniuenly pissed off when I saw that they had a bunch of mechanics that felt unique to my prototype.
