Toronto-made North Shore explores the 'beauty and danger' of skating in Canadian nature Ravine Studios co-founders Nick Counter and Dante Camarena on making a skating-focused exploration game that fuses serenity with horror.

Had a great chat with Nick Counter & @mhdante.com of Toronto's @ravinestudios.ca about North Shore, a Canada-set skating exploration game. 🍁
They talked about how the influences of Nick's experiences with Canadian art & nature, fine-tuning the skating mechanics & the unique mix of coziness & horror.

What's the opposite of turning DLSS on?

Thank you to everyone who came to play the demo at GDC. It will be the last time we'll show this demo publicly.

For those of you who got the red logo at the end of the demo...
I'll remember what you did.

They're evil

Can't tell you how inspiring TLD is. Thanks for the kind words.

Hehe... In time we will...

Then again, nothing is forever.

Tap A to skate. Hold A to keep your leg up.

Be careful with the right trigger. There's some buttons you can't unpress.

"I would like them to keep liking games. I believe you can feel if the creator made it with love or not. Regardless of how good the quality of the game, if there is no love in the game, it will feel empty."

- Shutaro Iida

Yeah! We want to make it permanent. :)

Getting the right blend between hockey and figure skating has been key since starting the project. These are just a few of the moves we have so far. We want to put a lot more in :)

We put together this ice skating mechanics video for pitching our indie game, and thought it would be nice to share. We have been really inspired by all the amazing stuff coming out of the Olympics this year.
