Background

John Brandon:

One of my favorite games as a kid was the original Cool Boarders game for PSX. I was also an avid snowboarder, so of course I had to make a snowboarding game.

I used some old stuffed animals I had as inspiration for the characters. The game is simultaneously basic, but possibly represents one of the best GM games my brother and I collaborated on. We never worked out a choose character screen, but some of the builds with one character seem to have 4 or 5 levels, and each level has an accessible exit (in other words, it was actually possible to complete this game!). I was pretty proud of the way I created levels, by literally carving them out of a background of one block tall trees, and how this was semi-realistic to how a real ski mountain would create trails through a wooded mountain. This game was worked on by both me and my brother.
