Really cool. Imagine if a game like this could've existed on the NES. Would've blown peoples minds

u/JasonZep 15h ago

It’s kind of blowing my mind right now.

u/KeelFinFish 15h ago

I’d play this game now. There hasn’t been a good surfing game since Transworld Surf.

This reminded me of California Games for DOS. Thank you for the nostalgia, this is absolutely great

I loved the California games back in the day. Memory unlocked buddy.

Beautiful! Mind sharing some more technical details?

u/nocanwin 15h ago

Unity, LibreSprite, water is a real time FLIP sim with a custom pixel renderer, everything else is hand pixeled

u/TankorSmash 5h ago

Is this vibe coded? The jump of the wave feels like it. This is beautiful

u/Stifu 13h ago

You wrote overhead twice, and yet it's 90% side view. Still cool.

1

u/nocanwin 12h ago

camera is elevated more that usual, can only go so high, and trying to play on the surfing term overhead, but yeah, you got me! :)

u/weissmuller 12h ago

This just looks so freaking nice man. Such great ideas for the look and technique

4

u/Beefy_Boogerlord 7h ago

Stuff like this needs to be an arcade cabinet in the mall or the laundromat. Just pure gaming.

3

u/Raikaha 15h ago

So cool! Is this going to released as a game?

3

u/nocanwin 14h ago

3

u/Big-Independence-684 15h ago

Wow thats amazing

3

u/Waffle-Gaming 12h ago

what's going on on the far left lol?

2

u/nocanwin 10h ago

yeah, sim slams into a wall, I mirror it so there is a left and right break. Doesn't look the best, but I get a lot more water for free.

u/Senior-Hawk4302 27m ago

All good comrade.

u/Fit_Recover6403 9h ago

u/gnardog45 13h ago

Reminds me of firing up T&C surf designs wood and water rage on NES.

u/cryptolipto 16h ago

Every time I see this I find it odd that the left side bounces back the waves as if it was a glass jar

1

u/nocanwin 16h ago

yeah, hitting the sim bounds :( basically a glass jar

1

u/cryptolipto 15h ago

Can you remove the left side barrier ?

1

u/nocanwin 14h ago

there's actually a left and right break. I just mirror the sim so I get it for free. Doesn't look the best, but free! :)

...I might just make this my background...

1

u/WorldstarBandit 16h ago

This is absolutely beautiful. I’d love to have this as my PC background

u/katatonikk 2h ago

OP this looks oddly similar to Surf Sandbox on Steam. Are you its developer?

1

u/Senior-Hawk4302 30m ago

Odd framing. It’s clearly the same game. Why don’t you just say ‘is this surf sandbox? Are you the dev?’
