When I first made Skate Dude, I'm not gonna lie: It was TRASH.

I used a paint tool to make sloppy, hand-drawn sprites. I only put three tricks in the game. IT HAD NO DANG ANIMATION! Skate Dude was the first game I had ever made, and nobody ever took notice of it. Then I looked back at it, and thought, "This game needs a total redo!" After that, it improved. Bigtime. I added more tricks, completely remade the graphics, and made interactable objects. It wasn't just a picture of a skatepark with a little stick figure slowly moving around, occasionally doing one of the few tricks possible. I turned it into a game. 

Not only did I keep the three tricks, but I added more. Now you have the ability to handplant on a quarter pipe, bluntslide on a rail, and BACKFLIP off of a ramp! Recently (Remember the game is still new!) I added an ollie animation. An entire ollie. And I'm a single working, and quite new, developer! That made the game waaaaay smoother. I do need to animate the other tricks, but until then, the ollie makes a bigger improvement than you would think. 

If you want to see more in the game, please please PLEASE consider buying it! It supports and motivates me to keep working, the next seven of you who buy it (I already had a few friends buy it) will get their names put in the skatepark.
