GlideBoard Slide. A kart racer mixed with skateboarding

New Topic Respond to this Topic

This thread is a continuation to my previous thread Hoverboard racing game idea


A new game by me, aapiarts the creator of Painter Blazer.


Introducing:

GlideBoard Slide

Graffiti style, badass racers and wacky weapons.


What is GlideBoard Slide? It's a kart racer mixed with a skateboarding game. Do tricks to get speed boosts, collect money to buy weapons and other items, beat your rivals by finishing the race first or buy eliminating them by other means. But don't let your health drop to zero or else too bad.


GlideBoard Slide pre-alpha footage.


Item ideas so far:

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.


So far I've designed only one of the racers.


It's Skim! A rather decent Glideboarder who joins tournaments to kill boredom.

Dude, this gives me THPS vibes. Do you need voice or sfx help?

Ah. Well I'll definitely need help with voice acting in the future. I'll try to keep your offer in mind when I get that far

This game looks hella fun so far! Would def play it once its finished.


Other than VA's, are you needing more peeps for help? Or you think you got this all in the bag?


Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.

For now the main thing I can't do is music. I can do the code, design and animations myself but I have zero musical skills.

Oh my God! Oh my God! There should be a Newgrounds special guest character! It has to be associated with racing, so I'm thinking of either Tomonaku's Bucket or Pizza Girl. Yours?

I understand, man. Those are deep-cuts of characters with small cult followings. So a "safer" option like Pico or Boyfriend is a good start.

Don't listen to them @aapiarts


What you must do is add Blazer as a secret unlockable character, like companies do with their niche mascots


It's on the mouse!

Question. WHY.

Also this game reminds me a lot of Sonic Riders and also the Sewer Run series to an certain extent, though I wonder how would this game work, along with the cast...

Also, would there be sprint races (IE tracks that are Point A to B.)?

Clout, popularity and crossovers are awesome totally

I might make a couple tracks that aren't so called circles. We'll see what happens

Today's progress update:

Made a place holder menu. Drew somw character select screen and menu style concept art. Lap counting system is back in action from the prototype with better c8de and less objects.

GlideBoard Slide will have controller support that has been implemented right from the start of the project, unlike Painter Blazer.


So controller in the current build works for 100% of the game.

This is to say that I got the item and money system done (without the actual items)

Jesus the game looks fucking great. Also the money sprites are goofy yet very silly.

Ok one more dollar post.

This menu is already 100 timess better than Painter Blazer menus. It has mouse only support and keyboard only support with gamepad support coming later.


I'm very happy with it so far because one of the multiple things I don't like in Paintef Blazer is the menus.

Small update. I will showcase the character select screen this month. Been working hard on it's functions and sprites (especially sprites) and I'm very happy with it so far.

I'm 2 animations and a few sprites away from showcasing the character select screen for GlideBoard Slide. I am very happy how it looks and how it's animated so I can't wait to showcase it. I'll also likely showcase the second playable character too.

Have this for now:

Here is a showcase of the character select screen in GlideBoard Slide. I made it to showcase the quality standard and style of the game plus I wanted to make a way better menu than in my older games and it is much nicer so far. Also the first look at the second playable character, Destiny!


The music for the menus was made by @partybooru so yes now I got help on that part which is awesome since I got no musical skills.

Interesting idea! I love the art direction of the 2D character on a 3D background.

That's right, the full version of the GlideBoard Slide menu song made by @partyboy is out right now! It's officially called Bitch Puddin' fun fact. Big thanks for @partyboy for making the song because I sure can't. And possibly soon there is more to GlideBoard Slide music to come.


Bitch Puddin' on Newgrounds


I made the snazzy lil album cover art for it which you can see here in full.

In other GlideBoard Slide news I've been hard at work on making the items function and look nice. Most of them got sprites and mechanics now but still missing some. Here's small tease why not.

I'm putting GlideBoard Slide's production on hiatus early. What do I mean early? Well I was planning on putting it on hiatus in January because I have to do my military service (law in here Finland) but I just want to not touch it for now. Not because I wouldn't enjoy making it. Far from it. It's still a lot of fun. But rather I wanna focus on other stuff I enjoy more currently like drawing, video editing and seeing my friends more hopefully. I just want to get it off of my mind as this "work on it" thought since I've been working on it a bunch in the past months. That being said there is a chance I'll make something small but neat regarding GBS before January. Not promising though. So yeah GBS will be on hiatus for like 7 months.
