Part of what inspired Just Ski was Weber's fondness for another minimalist sports game, the modern classic Desert Golfing []. As Weber explains, "Part of the idea for Just Ski came when I first fired up Desert Golfing on iOS. When you start up Desert Golfing, there is no splash screen, no menu, no buttons.... just THE GAME! It was awesome and refreshing. What I've attempted to do with "Just Ski", is invoke that same feeling but with skiing instead of golfing." Here's an animated gif of what Just Ski is looking like so far.
In many ways, this is simply a mashup of the physics-based skiing in Krashlander and the minimalist, to-the-point presentation of Desert Golfing. There's also an interesting story behind the visual inspiration for Just Ski, which was actually a promotional video for Microsoft's fitness wearable called the Band. Yes, very strange! But you can check out yourself to see where that minimalist visual style came from. The game is already complete, and there's just to get ready for the release of Just Ski, so expect this one in the not too distant future.
