- AutoCam - You don't have to worry about your camera anymore! Just tilt your Sixaxis Controller left and right and enjoy the ride.
You can still get your Free Camera by pressing 'Fire' two times.
- Cruise Control for the Snowboard. You don't have to hold down 'forward' all the time. Just go faster than walking
speed and it will go full throttle by itself. Hold 'back' to reduce your speed now.

- Bug fixed: Removed camera lagging when being teleported.
- More minor bugfixes

1.2 to be released soon!

Hi everyone,
it's been a while since the last snowreal update, but I'm happy to announce that betatesting on the PS3 was very successful. PC betatesting is still to be done, but if everything goes as planned, version 1.2 will be released pretty soon.
Here's a sneak peak of the new map you'll get to board on:

Make Something Unrealisti-uhm... Unreal!

Hello everyone! I'm proud to announce that Snowreal will be submitted to the $1,000,000 MSU Contest! Since I don't have so much time to commit to this mod anymore , I will concentrate on getting everything bugfree and on providing the best game experience you have seen in a snowboard game.
In the longterm Snowreal will probably include custom player models, sounds, ski lifts to grapple on to, and much more. All that is planned for after the phase 2 deadline in october. If you like this mod and you think you could contribute something to it, contact me at squizmek (at) googlemail.com, or leave me a message on ModDB.

Snowreal Patch 1.1.5 Released

Today is patching day! version 1.1.5 comes with one new map and a little fix for the server browser. The new map, SR-EasyRide, is mainly for Snowreal beginners who want to get a little more used to the controls before breaking their neck on one of the other maps.



EasyRide is also there for everyone who wants to create a Snowreal map himself. Feel free to use this map as a starting point for your own map! Even if you have no experience with UnrealEd at all, you can just load that map and start painting your own terrain. If you made a map based on EasyRide, you can make it public without any extra permission, as long as you name me in the credits, and Max_Damage in case you use the pinetree models.

Snowreal servers are now shown in the serverbrowser again (between the deathmatch servers). Just sort by map and look for one of the snowreal mapnames.
PC users get a patch in the form of a .rar file, PS3 users get a full new userdata.jam.
