Suggestions
I've been playing Skate (Early Access) for about a month or so and had some suggestions for things to add, ways it can be done, and benefits to both the game/community. Any mention of monetization is solely for company benefit, because let's be real, why would they keep a game going if it doesn't earn them any money?
I've taken into account that this is still early access so I won't include things like more clothing options, more skater customization options, actual brands, and things like that since I'm sure those things have already been considered by the team and may already be in the works.
These are listed in no particular order of importance, but would like to see them all added:
Wager credits on Skate Jams/Throwdowns
- Host chooses "buy-in" amount, length of time, max participants and format.
- Can be winner take all or podium style if there are more than 5 participants.
- Gives incentive to actually participate and makes it competitive.
- Another way of earning credits aside from the challenges/tasks.
Skate Crews
- Crew logo or tag creator similar to the crew emblem creator from Rockstar Social Club for GTA Online.
- Monetization angle for custom crew elements. Possible "Crew Packs" with design on board, sticker, clothing, etc. in a bundle.
This feature could lead to:
- Slap stickers around the city anytime.
- Crew Sticker Slap challenge. How high and how fast can u slap.
- Earn points by slapping stickers in designated area.
- Higher slaps earn more points.
- Can redo attempt but removes all current stickers.
- Crew Throwdowns/Competitions with and without credit wagering.
- Multiple Crews. One team per crew. Equal number of skaters per team.
- Wagered credits are pooled together. Can be winner take all or can have podium if more than 5 teams participate. Winning Crew splits the pot based on the amount each skater contributed/wagered.
Vert Double Competitions.
- Overall combined points of both skaters determines winner.
(This would require a latency fix since skaters are not in-sync on every screen.)
Replay Editor Suggestions
- Bookmarks for the tripod camera so you can save camera placements between replays. It's annoying whenever you find a good angle to place the tripod camera while watching a replay only to have it reset the next time you open a replay. Especially when the replay editor freezes and need to reopen the replay.
- Don't continue recording my skater while I'm in the replay editor. There's been times when the playback freezes and I have to reopen the replay but I lose the footage because it recorded my skater just standing there on the phone. Or give us more storage space for the drafts. 2min is nowhere near enough storage.
Open Product Boxes multiple times rather that one by one.
- For example:
- Player chooses Hedgemont Boxes from The Shop.
- Player chooses box 7.
- Player enters amount of credits they wish to apply to said box.
- Credits are applied and player is shown all of the unlocked rewards at once.
- This would minimize the time spent opening these boxes, thus giving players more time to skate since that is the whole reason they are playing Skate.
I will add more suggestions to this post over time. Any feedback from the community is welcomed.
If you would like to see any of these added, give this a like to hopefully get the attention of the developers.
