Sounds like a solid idea. Start with the physics—real ice is a slippery, uneven surface, so get a decent friction model that changes with temperature. Add a bit of wind, so the visual cues match the sound of wind scraping the ice. For haptics, a simple vibration when you hit a crack or a deeper rumble when you’re on a plateau will make it feel real. Use realistic textures: thin, translucent sheets for clear ice, rough patches for old, fissured ice. Keep the lighting subtle—soft, overcast, with a slight blue tint. If you want to push it, throw in a temperature readout so you can feel the chill building up. And remember, the hardest part is keeping it consistent; a patchwork of unrealistic smooth patches will break immersion faster than any fancy effect. Good luck, and watch out for that slippery slope.

Real wind is noisy and full of unwanted bleed‑through, so I’ll start with a clean set of recordings—just the raw hiss of the air over ice. Then layer a procedural wind sound on top to give it the right pitch drift and turbulence. That way the base gives you authenticity while the synthesis can adapt to the player’s movement. For the visual tremble I’ll use a low‑frequency noise shader on the ice surface and drive it from the same haptic timer so everything pulses together. If you can hand me a couple of recordings, I can cut out the parts that clash and we’ll fine‑tune the sync. Happy to tweak the balance until the whole thing feels like a real, biting wind on frozen ground.
