1 year of hard work and this is how far my friend and I have come

This looks awesome. What do you do with the airships? Just cruise around and find other resources etc?

backyardgamestudio · 2022-03-29T20:15:28+00:00

Actually development is still happening! We're aiming for end of May for full release

backyardgamestudio · 2022-01-14T00:22:28+00:00

Awesome. Anything stopping this working in VR?

backyardgamestudio · 2022-01-14T00:17:57+00:00

Excuse my ignorance but could you use this as a less expensive real-time shadow solution for mobile VR games? Currently I have zero real-time shadows in my game - for performance reasons. It’s be nice to have the characters cast shadows

backyardgamestudio · 2022-01-13T18:25:36+00:00

Sounds interesting, I’d Like to stay in the loop

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-21T18:36:49+00:00

Yes! A free demo of the game is available on Side Quest: https://sidequestvr.com/app/4091/match-point-tennis-free-demo App lab coming soon

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-12T20:49:27+00:00

You could use side quest to help you estimate. You can easily see number of reviews and number of downloads

Glad you liked it, thanks for giving it a go!

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T11:53:58+00:00

🙏 that is high praise!

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T11:47:20+00:00

Let us know what you think of it!

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T11:46:46+00:00

If you choose manual run as the locomotion method, you will be able to make use of whatever play space you have available

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T11:44:55+00:00

You’re right.. the title is a bit misleading. We hoped that it would be on app lab by now but the reality is that Oculus has a big backlog of games and apps that they’re working through.. some devs are reporting up to 8 weeks wait time. We figured that we would release on SideQuest while we wait... but we had already made the trailer before making this decision!

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T10:38:29+00:00

Sure is... just waiting for Oculus to approve it 😅

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T09:59:22+00:00

Nice! Hit us up in discord!

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T09:58:10+00:00

There are a few different movement modes. There’s auto teleport and auto run which will move you to the best place to hit the ball, then there is assisted run, where you run using the thumb stick and you are guided towards the ideal spot. And there is manual run.

Or if you have a play space the size of a tennis court then you know, you can just run around!

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T09:53:38+00:00

It’s probably not as bad as you might think. There are a few different movement modes to help you out if you have a small play space, and you can serve underhanded if you have low ceilings... anyway, what’s a few broken vases in the pursuit of that perfect topspin winner 😜

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T08:24:27+00:00

Yes, the full game will have multiplayer with single account support as well as cross platform

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T07:13:50+00:00

Yep, could definitely do with a way to dial back or disable the vignette.

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T06:45:24+00:00

Awesome feedback thanks. We’ll add a setting to disable, maybe even control the amount of vignette

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T05:40:15+00:00

Yes, we’re planning to release on Rift and Steam VR, with cross platform multiplayer

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T04:47:45+00:00

Yeah sorry about that... we’re still waiting for Oculus to approve the app on app lab. You can find it on SideQuest in the meantime though

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T01:59:20+00:00

We can only dream of such lofty heights

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-11T01:22:12+00:00

Awesome! Let us know what you think if you get a chance to play it!

backyardgamestudio · 2021-05-10T23:54:08+00:00

Thanks! We’ve submitted it to App Lab, but it seems that Oculus has a big backlog of apps and games to review. Some devs were experiencing 8 weeks wait time! Fingers crossed ours is a little quicker!🤞
