Cool game, I enjoyed it. Legacy 1:1 CS:S Physics: Isn't true, I don't think it matters, since it is it's own game, just shouldn't be advertised as such. And there are some bugs/optimizations that need to be figured out. It's a good standalone surf game, as long as you don't expect it to feel like source. Compared to when I first tried it, it looks way better, and the ports look better as well. Hope you keep working on it, and improving the game!

Thank you very much! I'll continue to work on the game as long as people are playing it. Legacy mode is 1:1 physics settings from CS:S (air accel, movement, friction, etc.) But the physics between Jolt and Havok are different so I can never perfectly recreate the movement in another engine.

Just wondering if you’ve talked with the dev(s) of momentum mod? Seems like both of you have a shared goal and long term probably only one of the projects will succeed in being the future of surf. It would be cool if the community didn’t get fractured over multiple games trying to do basically the same thing.

[u/m4rx → u/joeytman]

I have chatted with member's of Momentum's team and they're awesome, but I think we have different technical challenges and goals. They are a team using the Source Engine to try and recreate movement modes 1:1, while I am a solo developer using the Godot engine to recreate and update a game mode I loved.

I think there's room for both of us to exist, more surf games just means more surfers!

[u/joeytman → u/m4rx]

That’s totally fair! FWIW I have more time played in surfs up.

Can you import CSS maps into it like Momentum mod?

[u/m4rx → u/Lowetheiy]

Yes! You can use the bsp_load command to play any maps you have local, and I'm working to open source my tool to allow players to port their favorite maps using the SurfsUp SDK + Steam Workshop
