On a Roll

On a Roll is a solo-developed inline skating game that entered Steam Early Access on August 30, 2017. The developer (one person, operating as Creative Concepts) posted updates fairly regularly through 2017 and into 2018, shipping gameplay improvements, a character editor, new pro skaters, and optimization patches. The most recent update of any substance was on August 2, 2019, when custom world map support was added — allowing players to build and load their own levels using the Unity Engine. Since August 2, 2019, there have been no further posts, patches, or communications from the developer. The game's store description still lists two features as "coming soon" — a Custom Skatepark builder and custom avatar creation — suggesting the game was never considered finished even by the developer's own standards. These features remain undelivered based on available information. The game continues to be sold on Steam in its Early Access state, but with no developer activity in over six years and promised features still outstanding, it is unclear whether development is ongoing or has quietly stopped. The developer acknowledged being a one-person team in 2017, which may explain the eventual silence, but no official statement has been made about the game's future direction or whether it will ever reach a 1.0 release.
