Welcome to Carve: a prototype for a sandbox/small open world skiing game. The project was done over the span of 2.5 months as a senior capstone project. 

Explore Yeti's Lawn Ski Resort to your heart's content, collect stickers, talk to NPCs and hit sick jumps. Carve V1.0 currently has 3 slopes implemented: Little Steppe, Ram Way, and Widows Couloir (The final location of it is intended to change).

Controls

This game is best experienced with a controller. The following controls are representative of an Xbox controller.

In the game, you move with the Left Joystick (left/right to turn, forward to speed up, backwards to slow down). However, when you turn, you wont move much unless you hold RightTrigger to engage your edges.
