Download the Session Kickstarter PC Demo (1.1GB)

Inspired by the golden era of skateboarding, the early 90s and early 2000, Session's primary goal is to make you experience what skateboarding really is; an incredible sport where there are no other goals other than expressing your creativity and achieving success through hard work, perseverance and bits of madness for no one else other than yourself.

Sporting dual stick controls that mirror the movement of each foot, executing tricks feels as intuitive as it would in your local park, serving up the most authentic-feeling skateboarding in a video game. Included in the demo is a tutorial and outdoor skatepark to get you started. Will it be tough at first? Yeah. Will you fall face-first down a flight of stairs? Who hasn’t? It’s all about the journey, so when you land that first kickflip out of a grind, you’ll feel invincible!

So, what’s Session all about? Just like skateboarding IRL, it’s about the freedom to express yourself. Whether you’re all about perfecting that one elusive move, or have a sick line planned out for your next tape, you set your own goals in Session. Progression simply comes from honing your street chops. But what are skills if you can’t show them off to the rest of the world? With Session, creā-ture offers up the tools needed to create and share your tightest content with skaters around the world.

Whether you have no idea what goofy and mongo mean, or have a laser flip or two under your belt, Session’s here to remind you why you fell in love with the sport or give you a reason to fall for the first time (again, literally).

Like a buttery smooth noseslide, street skating sim Session has crushed its kickstarter funding goal of CAD $80,000 ($62,456) in less than four days. With 23 days left in the campaign, developer creā-ture Studios isn’t content to sit back and relax quite yet.

If that’s not enough to get you excited about Session’s future, take a look at the full list of stretch goals below:

• Goal #1: Dress to impress with character and board customization - $130,000

Based on the stretch goals alone, it’s safe to say skateboarding fans have a ton to get excited about when it comes to the future of Session. creā-ture Studios has set out to make the most authentic skateboarding game ever, so it’s only natural that they’re committed to putting players into the driver’s seat and allowing them to go wild, whether through Steam Workshop integration or a built-in park editor. Skating is all about taking the ordinary and making it look tight as hell, and that’s exactly what Session plans to achieve.

Key Features:

• No scoring system: Focus on what skateboard really is! If a handrail inspires you to do a backside lipslide, then so be it!
• Dual stick controls: Each stick controls a foot to replicate authentic and intuitive skateboarding motions.
• Filmer mode: Go online with friends, be the filmer and grab the gnarliest, crispiest footy you can, the way you want!
• Play a movie: VHS-like checkpoint system. Rewind, Forward, Skip, Pause, Play your scene, replay and re-skate them until you’re proud of it.
• Skate and destroy: Embrace street skating as you read your environment and exploit it in any way you can imagine. Cities aren’t built for skaters, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be skated.
