Criticts is welcome, but the work is still in progress and it is my first project so don't judge very strict
excuse my bad English

Use shadows for the skater and his board! Otherwise it looks like he is flying!

thanx for reply, but i'm already using it, you can't see it on some screens 'cos the sun is near the horizon

very nice! i like the buildings in the background.

I like it! keep it up

The characters look very realistic btw

The new Tony Hawk game
No just kidding, that would be abit to enthousiastic
But it does look good on the screens you posted there
Can't wait to see a video form this ^^

Cheers

thanx, i'll post more screenshots and a video when i'll finish the basic gameplay
you're always welcome to give your ideas, funny goals, or just advices, i'll try to realise them

I really like your game (special your characters)

How do you control the player, jumps...?

thanx that is plaeasnt to read for a programmer having his first modelling experience.The controls would be just like in THPS but you can manually change them.The tricks are divided into 3 groups:flips, grabs and grinds, you can link them with manuals and reverts.There won't be much tricks in the demo(8 flips,4 grabs and 10 grinds+ manual,nose manual + special tricks), but you can link them into big combos

I'm not a skater , and I dont know if this has been done by skaters in the past , but you could add a trick to slide the skateboard on one of its sides while stepping on the other one

PS.: Just a suggestion...And btw , I didnt saw anything wrong with your game , except that everything looks a little bright maby tune it up just a little to look darker , it will give more realism.I think.
Keep it up!
