[h2]COMMENTS FROM THE STUDIO[/h2] Hey Folks, Welcome to 2024! We’re back for the first time since October 2023, and we’ve got quite the year ahead of us, but we’ll save that for later. This Dev Blog is all about our latest release - DLC03! Now to get right to it, this is a content focused DLC release, including our newest school map and object dropper assets. Skating is all about creativity and adapting to what you have, and we have an abundance of fun terrain and object dropper assets for you to enjoy in this newest DLC release! On the note of releases, it’s important for our fans to know that producing and releasing DLC content does not exclude us from continuing to plan and focus on improving our core mechanics. It’s on this note that we are pleased to announce that we are currently working on transitioning Session to Unreal 5! It's still too early to make any concrete commitments on the implications of this, but it is a necessary step in order to continue a sustainable production on Session. [h2]Since the last update[/h2] Over the last few months we have continued to structure & grow our team in order to solidify our foundations to adapt for the future. Our current staff, as well as our open studio positions can be found on https://www.crea-turestudios.com/about/ & https://www.crea-turestudios.com/careers/ Now to the update…. [h2]DLC (Paid Content):[/h2] The big ticket in this DLC is the Schoolyard map. As anyone who has ever watched a skate video can attest - Californian school’s delivered a unique hybrid of street and park skating before modern skate parks were a thing. They had small rails, banks, picnic tables, benches, and a wide array of sets to huck yourself down. In order to pay homage to this terrain from the golden days of skating, we have compiled our favorite spots into one kick ass schoolyard map! The map includes spots inspired by, but not limited to: ● Hollywood 12 & 16 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35627366/2497cc441586294124e2e1078aae858c1dae2b8d.jpg[/img] ● Carlsbad Gap ● Sylmar 9 ● Skittles [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35627366/0c07a3a895a711541d341ebe5d2d3e54ee8c2210.jpg[/img] ● LA High Rail ● Walter Reed ● Lockwood ● Belmont 9 ● Muirlands 14 ● Elysian 18 ● Leap of faith [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35627366/43f05eaaaec54e0168b602f00b918d9948a8742c.jpg[/img] ● El Toro [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35627366/3e1c6f131ca23bb7ef704fa97420e0fd28140433.jpg[/img] So dust off the old VHS tapes, and reminisce on that dream trick you may finally be able to pull off 🙂 As with all DLC maps, we like to provide some unique and fun skateable Object Dropper Assets. This latest batch is a mix of items you would find in a schoolyard, or that you would bring to a schoolyard to improve the speed or run up to a specific obstacle.

This is by no means a small feat, and we’re in the thick of defining what it implies and how it will impact our plans, but we’re working on it and will share more info as we progress. Peace, [b]The crea-ture team![/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35627366/964965a89ea2971ee6f309c18c1be056dc3cc8cc.png[/img]
