Basketball Hero VR is officially dropped and will be hidden from Steam.
I started developing this years ago around the age of 11, since then my HTC Vive has broken and I have not been able to replace that with any other form of virtual reality. Because of that, I am unable to test anything in the game or even verify if the current steam version is still functional, which is why it hasn't been updated in so long, therefore I am removing the option to purchase it for now. I assumed that it would just go down without anyone noticing, but it would appear that that is not the case. I may, and most likely will eventually continue this game and make it 500x better (I had ~2 years of experience when I started this and that was just from Youtube, now I have around 7 years of experience and 2 years in a high school course, so I can do much better), but I would have to have a virtual reality system, which is financially not possible for me at the moment. I may start working on making the entire base game again (everything besides the actual player character), and see if it could get to a point of me being confident enough in it to take a loan in order to have virtual reality, but if not, I will most likely continue making small projects that have a 10% chance of actually being uploaded. Thank you to anyone who has played or enjoyed the game, I am sorry that this could not get to the level that I wanted it to, but unfortunately I never expected my Vive to break only a few months after the release of this game. If you are still interested in playing the game, contact my email (calebulastudios@hotmail.com) and I may be able to arrange something for you. If you would be interested in helping me purchase a virtual reality headset, you can support me here, https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-get-a-vr-headset-to-develop-a-game . If I raised enough money to get one, I would immediately start working on a full remake of this game, hopefully making it everything it was supposed to be and more.
One more big thing and the next update will be released!
I've been using Unity 2017.4 for every one of my games but now that the final versions of 2018 are being released I'm converting to them. But since Unity 2018.3 has PhysX improvements that means Basketball Hero VR will too ːsteamhappyː!
Basketball Hero VR's next big update is on its way!
I'm aware that it has been awhile since Baskteball Hero VR's last update (I changed the shadercache to a better version of NGSS but then had to put Basketball Hero VR on a different computer without it which broke the entire shader system), but now I have that resolved which means that the next update is on its way! It contains multiple new maps, overhauls of every single current map, and even a few new features. There are also a few optomizations which really don't matter since everything was overhauled anyways (it still has around the same fps but with better graphics). You can use this link to join the official discord channel which will have updates to Basketball Hero VR's updates " https://discord.gg/DrHTsdn ".
Basketball Hero VR hit it's first $100 in sales!
Basketball Hero VR just hit its first $100 in sales and I'm a kid of my word. Starting tomorrow Basketball Hero VR will be 50% off for $2.50! The sale will last 5 days and started because I hit that 100 mark. My first $100 was very important to me because first off that means that I'm not in the negatives for putting this game on steam, secondly because you have to make a minimum of $100 to even get a check.
Basketball Hero VR version 0.5 update!
Basketball Hero VR just had it's first update bringing it into version 0.5! This update gave it a much needed graphical overhaul, and added a new map... BlockyBall. BlockyBall is the map of your dreams if your a fan of minecraft with a amazing resource back and shader pack installed! It has 4 different goals, 2 caves, the outdoor area, and a running river!
Basketball Hero VR is finally released!
I started on this project probably around 6 months ago with no idea even how to make a game come through the vr headset... or even how to add physics to an object 😂😂😂. But now it is finally released in Early Access. I am currently working on the first update which should happen sometime this week. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I enjoyed making it!
