Descenders - new Freeride / Downhill bike video game

[Jonny Snow]

Anybody see this over on Pinkbike last week?

It's pretty damn awesome. I bought it for the $22.50 current price and have played it for a few hours. Controls are good and the game is easy to start playing but the levels get challenging quickly. Graphics are pretty good, about what you would expect for an indy game in 2018. It's in early release and still under development, but is pretty much a full game already.

Levels are procedurally generated by a 11 digit seed code controlling various settings - by my calculations there are roughly 400 Million valid track levels, each of which is several square km and free roam. That's considerably larger than the surface of the Earth!

Unlike many racing games where you have the advantage of repeating tracks over and over, having such a vast number of levels forces you to develop real control skills.

Video below, keep in mind the stuff he's doing is VERY hard to pull off:
