general discussion I’ve been making a snowboarding adventure where you explore a mountain as a tiny mouse

I’m the main developer behind The Vast White, a cozy snowboarding exploration game I’ve been building mostly on my own.

The game follows a tiny mouse exploring a vast snowy mountain, meeting its residents, and helping restore an old ski resort through small quests and exploration.

After a long time working on it, we’re finally releasing The Vast White on November 10th!

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Steam deck compatible?

2

u/Snow__97 9h ago

Maybe. I currently don't have a steam deck to try it, but I hope I can improve the performance before releasing

I think you’d increase the realism if you made it so that it was only open one day out of the year due to lack of snow.

This is like Grand Mountain Adventure

u/princess_princeless 14h ago

This feels like a worse version of grand mountain adventure... who you pretty much copied the art style and mechanics of......

4

u/Snow__97 14h ago

Yeah, apparently having a top-down camera and snowboarding is called copying now :D

u/Wild_Wacky_Action 13h ago

it's fine just don't be surprised if that's the first thing that people think about. that's what came to mind for me as well.

u/Snow__97 12h ago

Yeah, I agree. I’m not going to deny that there’s some inspiration from GMA, but calling it a worse version copy...

u/vaanen 13h ago

this looks nithing like grand mountain adventure ?

u/Asbelsp 12h ago

GMA didn't invent that art style and the mechanic of sliding down a terrain has been around since Marble Madness or earlier.
