Skydive is a game developed as a student project at University of Skövde in Sweden. We are 17 students that for ten weeks together have made this game in Unreal Development Kit. The gameplay mechanics are completely physics based, i.e. the character is really flying. The mountain is super huge (actually 14000 times larger than the Unreal Tournament map dm_deck). The game features several game modes, two characters and splitscreen support for up to four players. The game is a PC game but is played played with an Xbox 360 controller.
We have plans to further develop our game now that the school project is over. We want to polish the game further and add more content. We are checking out the possibilites to make the game in another game engine (possibly CryEngine) to further optimise the use of huge maps with lots of props like trees, vegetation, rocks and cliffs.
Here is a link to the tutorial video of the game, it describes the scoring system and the tricks you can perform. [media]
