New alternative third-person camera mode!

Hello Riders,

We have a big Snow Riders surprise update for you today! After ten years of reading the same feedback we decided to try and do something about it. 

Please say hello to our new ALTERNATIVE THIRD PERSON CAMERA MODE!

As you all know, we are big fans of the way we handled the camera in our Lonely Mountains games. But as it is the absolute number one complaint of players, we decided a few months ago to give it another try and to see if we can implement a good alternative camera.

And - to our own surprise - the game is actually a lot of fun with a third-person camera. This is unfortunate for us because it means that we also had to update all the mountains and trails in the game to ensure they are now working properly from every camera angle. 

But we are happy to say that this work is done now (thanks to our amazing team of artists!) and the update went live this morning. 

So please try out the new camera mode. You can super easily switch cameras by pressing the right stick on the gamepad or TAB on the keyboard.  Please let us know what you think and if you prefer the new camera over the old one. We feel like both versions have their pros and cons, but we would love to hear what you think and if there is anything we could further improve. 

Much love!

Your Megagons

PS: Thanks to everyone who bravely defended us and our camera in the Steam Forums, in Discord discussions, and on social media the past few years. It meant a lot to us!
