People requested snow parks, but our game is all about freeriding in the wild, so we made snow parks overrun by nature 🌲🚡🏔 #indiegame #indiegaming #pcgaming #IndieDev #gaming #snowboard

If I had a platform for talking about GoTY so far.
Early Access titles allowed. Hands down it would be

It's as relaxing or insane as you want it to be. The roadmap is really promising as a biased fan

SNØ is a minimalistic freeriding game. Push your limits for the high score, or simply explore the raw, endless wilderness.

Snowboard trails are way harder to make than ski trails 😅 We just used Unity’s trail renderer for ski tracks.
Ended up making a custom trail renderer that generates a mesh based on board orientation vs velocity, it was easiest that way 🙃🏂

We finally got SNØ to run smooth on macOS! 🤩 It took a couple of weeks, but now we finally nailed it (hopefully)! 🎉 Fixing freezes and some nasty graphical bugs was a bit of a battle, but getting 60 fps on our little M2 Mac Mini made it all worth it! Demo is updated! 😎 #macgaming #gaming #macOS

If the demo for this magical Scandinavian skiing game is so "serene" then why do I die constantly

I love randomly discovering developers working on games I wish I’d created. Here's SNØ, a minimalistic freeriding game by @studiogauntlet.bsky.social ❤️
Can’t wait to play it in first-person view, especially as snow is becoming increasingly scarce here in France

Wondering how long you can play SNØ on a Steam Deck before the battery runs out? Someone just tested it: 4h 45m, even on high settings! 👀 Even we didn’t know that! #SteamDeck #indiegames #indiegaming #gaming #pcGaming

Just in time for the first real #snow outside our office window here in Trondheim: We added the possibility of encountering snow storms during a run in our freeriding skiing game SNØ! 🌨️🏔️⛷️ The low visibility can really make things intense 👀 #winter #indiegaming #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Before and after - New performance fixes running on the #SteamDeck 🤩📈🙌 Getting solid #60fps was a challenge, but #SNØ now runs smooth on the Deck and low/mid PCs! Our demo got the updates live already, if there are any deck owners here 👀 #indieDev #gameDev #indieGame #indiegames #indiegaming #gaming

Just added a twist to our night time: Skiing with no light except a headlight! 🔦🏂 It only happens during a crescent moon, when the night is at its darkest, so it is pretty rare! 🌒 #indiegames #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #skiing #night
