Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders News

[h2]Hey Riders! [/h2]

It’s finally time to buckle your boots. Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, our ‘ski-quel’ to Lonely Mountains: Downhill, is coming to Steam and Xbox on January 21st!

The game will feature 2-8 person crossplatform multiplayer with a competitive racing mode, as well as a cooperative team mode that’s perfect for hanging around with your friends on cold winter nights. Of course, it’s also fully playable in singleplayer, with lots of challenges and extensive leaderboards. If you’re just looking for some relaxed carving, the game also has a new ‘zen’ mode that lets you free-roam the mountains and place your own checkpoints.

If you want to do some ski gymnastics and hone your skills before release, the Singleplayer demo is still online. And of course we would be super grateful if you could wishlist the game so we can climb the upcoming list on Steam!

Thank you all for your patience and support! We’re all super excited to hit the slopes with all of you next week!

Hello Riders,

We are all eagerly looking forward to carving the mountains with you! However, although the game is almost ready, we need a little bit more time to prepare the slopes. That’s why we decided to shift the release date to January 2025. We can’t announce the exact date yet, but we will let you know as soon as we can.

We wish you all great holidays and a Happy New Year and see on the Lonely Mountains in January!

Your Megagons!

PS: we had some problems with the latest demo update and are working on a fix

Hello Riders,

we hope you're all doing well! It's great to see that you all still enjoy the demo so we wanted to give you fair warning that we will turn off the multiplayer for the Snow Riders Demo on Monday the 16th. So if you are still working on that Level 10 outfit, this weekend will be your last chance!

You can still play the Singleplayer and go for the leaderboard best-times but we have to do some server work before the release. More news on that will come on Monday as well!

We wish you all a great weekend and see you on the mountains!

[h2]Hey Riders,[/h2]

It was great seeing you all play the demo over the last two weeks! We are tremendously grateful for all the positive feedback and your bug reports, ideas and suggestions! We have already put a lot of things on our list to improve for the full release.

As we still see lots of new players trying out the game we decided to keep the demo - multi- and singleplayer - online for a while longer to give fresh players the opportunity to also earn the unique Steam Next Fest outfit. Besides that, it’s also just fun watching all the demo streams and let’s plays.

We will inform you ahead of time when we feel it’s time to take the demo down again.

Best wishes and see you on the mountains!
Your Megagons

Hey Riders,

it’s great to see you’re all enjoying the time on the Lonely Mountains! Again, thank you all for your feedback!

We received feedback that it currently takes too long to reach Level 10 in the demo, which is totally understandable considering that you would also like to try out tons of other amazing demos.

So we just put a patch live that rebalances the progression system. You still need to hit the slopes in multiplayer to reach level 10 to earn the special next fest outfit but it should take considerably less time than before. Please download the newest patch to update your level!

Also, if that wasn’t totally clear, you will get the same experience for tours in private lobbies as for the quickmatch tours, so it’s easy to just grab a few friends to level up. We also set up a whole bunch of new channels in our Discord to find friends and private tours.

Other fixes for today’s patch include:
Fixed once again that people get stuck at the finish line (this one is a really persistent little bugger)

• Settings now have a button that deletes current best times & ghosts (important for the people who have best times and ghosts from before the Lynx Rebalancing.
  
• There is now a quality preset for the Steam Deck. Please let us know how the performance on the deck is for you with the new preset!
• ready display in the "ready for next round" display now always shows the correct number of players
  
• The ready button in the Next Screen should now always show the correct state
  
• Fixed a bug that you ended up in a non-respawnable crash state when you were crashed while a host migration happened.
  
• Fixed once again that the end timer in racing mode shouldn't stay on screen anymore
  
• Waiting time in the quick match lobby doesn’t get reset when a player leaves the lobby
  

If you want to know what’s waiting for you at the end of level 10 here is a little teaser.


All the best and have a great weekend on the Lonely Mountains. And as always, it would mean a lot to us if you wishlist and leave a review for the demo as this weekend is super important for the game.

Your Megagons!
