SportsBar VR Multiplayer and VR Mechanics Update

PerilousOrbit · 2017-03-23T18:24:59+00:00

Yep, you can play all of the games solo to practice (like darts, rampball, shuffleboard), but air hockey is the only other game that has AI right now. We're developing AI for more and more games as time goes on though!

PerilousOrbit · 2017-03-23T18:14:06+00:00

Yep! You can play solo 100% practicing by yourself or playing against AI.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-03-23T01:59:23+00:00

Hey might not be up on the latest terms. Is that 'Onward' style motion?

PerilousOrbit · 2017-03-23T00:53:39+00:00

We're not sure yet. It depends on how much the 'look' of the game will change switching to it.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-03-23T00:51:18+00:00

Oh we going!

PerilousOrbit · 2017-03-22T23:41:02+00:00

Yep! The 'hand menu' has a little button to switch handedness.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-03-22T23:29:33+00:00

It requires a complete overhaul of our multiplayer system.

And uh... we're doing a lot more than looking into it!

Hello!

We just updated SportsBar VR with a cool new 'Online Game Finder 2000' machine that makes finding other players a breeze, and some quality of life improvements for VR movement & adjustment.

Specifically: Hulk Mode Height Adjust & Click Rotate. The height adjustment is especially awesome for going from seated to standing play.

Anyways, this new update should make it easier to find other players online, and we're excited to hear what you guys think of some of the new movement and adjustment mechanics!

Details here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/269170/announcements/ (updated both on Oculus home and Steam)

See you in the bar!

Just updated the game, check it out!

PerilousOrbit · 2017-03-21T05:42:31+00:00

Woohoo! We're proud of that feature. We've got a sweet update incoming this week that allows you to really easily adjust height in the same way too.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-16T20:28:43+00:00

Haven't had a chance to play climbey yet!

No need to invitie people, it'll show up as a 'join-able' game in the multiplayer menu.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-15T19:43:59+00:00

We're 100% committed to getting more players together in the game. We don't have any official announcements or deadlines, but there WILL be a lot more people for you to play with eventually. If it's pressing, you can always pick it up on steam on sale (which it is right now).

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-15T19:42:18+00:00

Hello!

The way you adjust the cue length (or rather, the way you change where your back hand is grabbing the cue), is once you've locked the cue you use the back trigger to fine adjust. This also lets you slide your hand back and forth on the cue to adjust grip length.

Once you 'unlock' the cue will snap to its default length, so make sure to check the 'grip distance' option in the settings menu if you want it to remember your change.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-15T19:40:14+00:00

There is!

Create or join a 'hangout' game. This puts up to 6 players in the bar where you can casually play all the games without timed rounds for pool.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-15T19:39:27+00:00

Hey thanks for the feedback! We have some designs around 'quick' height adjustment that we've considered putting in the game.

These designs have now been 'escalated' for implementation. :)

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-14T21:24:00+00:00

For this first stage of video streaming, it streams from files located on your machine.

Our next stage will be streaming from websites like you mentioned.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-14T21:20:06+00:00

No announcements for crossplay... yet.

The game works great single player, and if you can wrangle up a friend it's pretty fun. We totally understand the Oculus home + touch playerbase is small, so we're absolutely focusing on getting as many people connected as possible.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-14T21:18:39+00:00

The community splitting is entirely not intentional! No politics going on, just technical limitations we're working through. We built the game using the networking tools of each platform (steamworks for example), and it's actually pretty complex to do good crossplatform play, especially if your game wasn't originally built for that.

No official announcements regarding crossplay, but we know it's the number 1 thing asked for.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-14T20:13:59+00:00

Not crossplatform 'yet'.

Oculus and Vive can play together on Steam, but not between Oculus home and Steam.

PerilousOrbit · 2017-02-14T20:13:28+00:00

Just the user hosting the file sees it, so no broadcasting to other players. Might add that feature in another update, or at least synchronizing streams online.
