Hello,
I've been skateboarding for 15+ years, played all skate games on launch, and have been gaming for much longer, here are a list of suggestions. (#1 and #8 are top priority.)
- Poser-carry: Characters hold the board griptape-out. This is the least comfortable way to hold a board IRL and you can tell people are new to skating or don't skate when they carry like this. To each their own, but this is the thing that annoys me the most, especially since you have so many board skins covered up by this decision. Please let us choose how we carry the board. (I know people would like to truck-carry too)
- No-comply without spin. One of the first tricks I learned IRL. Currently only possible with janky animation by counter-rotating against the no-comply spin direction.
- No "next song" in the radio. Amazing tracklist, less than satisfactory implementation. On this topic, music stops after completing a challenge every single time. Let it keep playing please, helps with the flow.
- Let us skip the intro video for challenges. There are so many reasons to let us do this. Among them are: Wastes time, we've seen them a hundred times, vee is annoying, we will see the full spot faster by skating it.
- Boards/trucks/wheels looks too clean. I have seen some trucks with wear, but it would be nice if skating would wear these things down individually. Not necessary, but would go a LONG way.
- We can't adjust settings in a challenge. This is HUGE. If I find out that the way I set up my camera doesn't work, I have to exit the challenge, change it, then go back in and see the **bleep** intro video yet again. (see #4)
- The left stick on-board feels way too sensitive. I always start off-board and run into a mount to start lines. If holding ever so slightly towards one side while holding forwards, skate freaks out and turns 90+ degrees. Please let us adjust the sensitivity of the left stick's controls. This is one of the most needed on my list, if not #1 in terms of priority as it affects gameplay greatly.
- Let us start challenges off-board. Starting off-board is best when doing anything because you gain speed faster by mounting while running, also looks better in clips as that's how you actually skate IRL. I'm surprised that this isn't standard like #1 on this list. As is, I have to get off-board, reposition, then set the teleport EVERY TIME. So time consuming and annoying. (Side-note, challenges are started WAY too close to spots, especially line challenges. Idk how people who always start on-board get enough speed for anything)
Thanks for your time. I believe you guys have made an awesome game as I'm happy with it as-is for the most part. If you can grow and polish this game over time, then I'll be a life-long player, especially since I'm starting to get too old to skate now.
