From the Steep Closed Alpha to the Open Beta, we’ve received tons of comments and feedback from players and we really appreciate it!
We strongly value players’ feedback and maintaining Steep as a community-driven game is a central part of the team’s DNA. So, here are some of the things you’ve been asking for and what we did to improve the Steep experience for you.
You asked for: Improved Paragliding Experience
- In a nutshell: You wanted paragliding to be more exciting and the controls to be more responsive.
- What we changed: We worked hard to improve the paraglide controls and camera in order to enhance the full experience and add some more thrill to the feeling of flying. We increased the responsiveness of the inputs and reduced inertia in order to bring you more thrilling moments as you slalom through forests and canyons.
You asked for: More Replay/Capturing Options
- In a nutshell: You wanted to be able to turn the HUD on/off when capturing a screenshot or video.
- What we changed: Brush up on your cinematic skills! You now have the option to remove the HUD when replaying your ride. Press TOUCHPAD/VIEW BUTTON/F11 to hide the HUD.
You asked for: Iconic Tricks
- In a nutshell: You’d like to be able to perform iconic tricks, like a Cork, a Rodeo, a Japan…
- What we changed: If freestyling’s your thing, you can now perform these iconic tricks in Steep! Tricks will now be labeled and displayed on screen every time you do one. Take a look at our “behind the scenes” video, Made in the Alps #2, about designing the tricks system, as well as our video tutorials (for console or PC) to learn more about how to perform amazing tricks!
You asked for: More Sports/Activities
- In a nutshell: Snowmobiles and sledding would make for some fun additions to the game.
- What we changed: While snowmobiles are not currently on the horizon, sledding, rocket wingsuit, base jumping and speed riding are all on their way! You can find out more about these “coming soon” additions to Steep (DLC content) in our Season Pass Trailer!
Oh, and pssst… The free camera option you’ve been asking for? It’s already in the game! You can trigger the exploration camera by holding the L1/LB button and then using the right stick to control it.
Again, thank you for all the feedback we received and we hope that you like the changes you see! Please continue to share your comments and your suggestions with us on the forums, Facebook and Twitter (@Steep_Game, #SteepGame) – we’re listening!
