So after many delays and starting a family we are proud to announce that we are releasing Pierhead Arcade 2 on Early Access next week!
Please go and add it to your wish list (it helps us with the store algorithm)
As a thank you to our loyal fans we'll also be releasing a bundle with a discount if you own Pierhead Arcade 1.
Join us on Discord and get ready to spend some arcade tokens ːsteamhappyː
Toys fix
Update to the toys:
RC cars/tanks/drones work correctly in multiplayer.
Throwing disk flies further and syncs correctly.
Toy plane can do loops easier.
Beta Update
Made some changes to the multiplayer:
*Scores will sync at the end of a game.
*Claw machine wins are synced when they drop in the chute.
*Clients can now purchase things from the prize hut.
Install the beta version to test it out and comment if you have any issues.
Network Update
We've reduced the amount of bandwidth required for multiplayer by only syncing the pick up and throw events.
This means that you can have more players in a game (4) but it also means differences in physics simulation will mean objects aren't guaranteed to be in the same position on all clients. In practice you probably wont notice.
You should also only use join host on a local network. Otherwise use the quick match option.
New Game
Hi all,
We're finally ready to share some information on what we've been working on.
The PSVR version of Pierhead Arcade is nearly done. It will launch single player only to ensure a smooth playing experience on the PS4.
On the PC side of things we've pushed a couple bug fixes and optimisations that should improve frame rates for some. We're also working on native mixed reality support. (should work with steamvr currently)
We're also releasing a standalone expansion of 10+ games and a new environment including the much requested coin pusher and target wall variant you can see above. We will have a short beta period before full release in the summer and there will be a discount if you already own Pierhead Arcade. Head over to twitter or the forum to suggest new games to add to the pack!

Take your claw machine bears home!
You can now find Pierhead Arcade bears in SteamVR Home.
You'll start getting random drops after you've spend a total of 2 hours in SteamVR Home.
The team is off at Tokyo Game Show this week to unveil the PSVR version of Pierhead Arcade.
If you're in Japan then drop by our stand in the indie section.
We'll have more news about the PC version later so stay tuned for that.
