Hi. I recently looked at the skateboarding section, and played all the games there. With the exception of "skate thug" (which was fairly simple), I didn't have much fun playing any of them. Most of them were poorly designed or drawn. So now I'm thinking of making a good, playable, polished skateboard game in flash. Obviously, I can't make it very realistic when only working with 2 dimensions, but I would try to make it playable and filled with enough interesting content to keep a player entertained for a while. The biggest focus of the game is customizable environments (Kind of like the "rigger" role in Tony Hawk's Proving Ground), and a good level editor. I might do something like Punk-o-Matic, where the editor outputs a code that can be loaded and shared with other players via the forums or a "user levels" list.

What I'm asking is: Do you think a game like this would be received well on Newgrounds? Would you play something like this, despite its obvious 2d limitations? Do you have any suggestions for adding to or improving my idea?

i am cool

make it top-down, that way you can include bigger, more complex levels. and I think it would be, if it was interesting, had few bugs, and decent graphics

This does sound like an interesting idea. Do you have the skills required to create such of a game?

I wouldn't plan for something I couldn't execute.

Top down creates the problem of up/down movement. It's hard to perceive how high you are when the only indicator of this is scaleX and scaleY. Because jumps and radical changes in height (like jumping from a building) will be important parts of the game, I don't know how I could make that work well.

well for top down you could make the guy bigger the closer he is, so if he goes off a ramp he gets bigger, and than gets smaller as hes going down.

Don't do top down.

May be a little tough, but I'd go for something similar to Dad'n'me, faux-3d or whatever you want to call it.

I thought of this idea awhile ago myself, and I have an idea for it. PM me if you'd really like my help.

Try a Dad n' me style maybe, but don't make it like a Tony Hawk storyline. Those blow ass.

Maybe something with some ragdoll physics? Check this out:

I found that game to be addicting, and it's be well received.

My idea to make the game better is 3D :3
(you probably don't know how though so this post may be pointless)
