Cosmetic Suggestion: Santa Hat
TL;DR: I’ve been working on some conceptual fan art for my portfolio. This Santa Hat is one of the more recent projects I worked on in relation to the holidays. I'm praying we get something like this as a cosmetic or event reward for Winter Roll-stice. Boring Stuff: Although I recently shared some QoL suggestions, most of my work is cosmetic based. I wanted to create some fan art for my portfolio and one of the items I've been working on is this Santa Hat. With Christmas coming up, I figured we'll be seeing some form of holiday event (Winter Roll-stice), so I wanted to share something I would love to see in-game. My work is usually focused on realism, but I wanted to keep everything within the current art style. I don't often sculpt, but it's always refreshing to work on something new. I created a blockout of my character’s head and began sculpting the hat. After modelling the mesh, I started working on the texture maps, took a high poly render for the in-game concept, and then quickly remeshed the model to share. From my experience, the current model still needs to be retopologized to fit with the games average poly count. A few other things like, a final bake and capping, but definitely some more work to do. I work in so many creative areas from branding, UI development, systems and structure planning to 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation. I've managed large online communities, coordinated teams, and developed live service games where things break, expectations shift, and you need to adapt fast. Even in real life, I design clothing and cut and sew garments, so I'm never short of ideas. I'll share some more throughout Season 2. Programs Used: Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter & Photoshop Would love to hear any feedback or what items everyone would like to see as the game progresses. Have a blessed day, everyone 🎅
Skate not working after falling into map
I love skate but I did a trick in a community park my board went into the ramp then I fell through the map now whenever I start the game it’s just a black screen I’ve tried joining on a friend getting them to start a mission I can see their starting it but then nothing happensQuick Drop Suggestion: Candy Cane Rail
TL;DR: This is just another quick practice upload for my portfolio. The Candy Cane Rail is a very simple holiday concept for the "Quick Drop Objects". Boring Stuff: This item references the in-game Quick Drop Objects, specifically the "Round Rail" variants The modeling process was very simple; however the texturing required more attention to ensure the candy cane pattern remained seamless across the mesh. The variant with the flat end is designed to fit naturally alongside the existing Round Rails, allowing for continued use even after seasonal events. As I find more time, I plan to create a small holiday-themed skatepark for an updated cinematic render. Statistics Vertices: 272 Edges: 534 Faces: 268 Triangles: 516 I understand timelines and approvals, so whether this year or later on, I hope we see something like this added as the game continues to grow. Programs Used: Blender, Substance Painter & Photoshop Would love to hear any feedback or what other quick drop objects everyone would like to see as the game progresses. Have a blessed sunday, everyone 🎅
Character Customization
I was making my character in skate. and thought it would be cool if the menu for appearance editing would let you fully customize your character's makeup. I think a lot of people would enjoy it and it might even get more people interested in the game! Maybe you guys could add it in a later update?
Adding the community's skate videos into those video billboards around the city
With the amazing clips that Ive seen in youtube, instagram and in discord it would be nice to add it into those video billboards instead of having those wavy graphics. Have it some sort of "Clip of the week or month". Heck, why not, add in those "Skate bounty" videos as well into the mix. It could help to bring out the "skate culture" of the game and make the community involve even more. You guys can make it happened a bi-weekly or a monthly thing.MORE CUSTOMIZATION!!!!!
Character customization in Skate. (4) has a more potential even after past updates, and adding more depth here would really improve player expression and identity in the game. The current options are a good foundation, but there is room to expand into more alternative style. Piercings: Facial piercings such as eyebrow, nose (studs and rings), septum, lip, and multiple ear Piercings ability to mix and match multiple piercings on one Character different materials and styles (silver, gold, black, colored, spikes, hoops, studs) Hair colors and dye options More natural shades with variation (different browns, blondes, reds, blacks, greys)Bright and pastel fantasy colors (neon green, blue, pink, purple, etc.)Hair dye patterns like split‑dye, ombré, tips-only color, under-dye, and streaks and an option to change eyebrow color independently from hair for more unique looks (if possible) Skating isn't a fashion show but we need to express ourselves even in video games.
