Just in time for the SUMMER SALE we're proud to show off our new Pitching Level (still currently in Beta). How many strikes can you get in a row? Let us know what you think OR if you run into any bugs! Speaking of bugs, we noticed some players using OCULUS we're having issues after our update in March that affected their height in the game, and we've fixed it and smoothed out Oculus gameplay all around! We also updated our website and contact info in case you need to reach out and contact us! Coming Soon : New Avatars and more play modes!
CUSTOM VIVE TRACKER BATS + LINUX ISSUES
Do you have a baseball bat with a vive tracker on the end of it? Well you are in luck, our game in addition to working out of the box with the new VIVE HTC RACKET can now work with custom made bat accessories. (As long as the tracker is placed on the top or bottom of the bat) Make sure your tracker is on and paired when playing game and make sure to use that calibrate option (if tracker is on top of bat) This is a great option for sports fans and VR ARCADE owners. LINUX ISSUES: Recently our game was showing up as LINUX supported (unfortunately it is not) We've since corrected the listing and apologies to any LINUX owners who purchased/refunded. We will let you know as soon as LINUX is supported. Thanks again and Happy Swinging!
VR ARCADE UPDATE: HTC RACKET COMPATIBLE + HOME RUN DERBY
Hey all, we're releasing a new level for HOME RUN DERBY today and we think you're going to like it! The game is also now compatible to work with the HTC RACKET and VIVE TRACKER so now you can swing more comfortably with 2 hands. We've created an entire new "bat mode" with auto pitching and re-loading tee stand. This is a perfect addition for sports fans and VR ARCADE owners. Happy Swinging!
MAJOR ART UPDATE + MORE !
Hey PITCH-HITTERS we hope you had a good 4th of July! And if you picked up PITCH-HIT during the summer sale, welcome to the fun! We're happy to share our completely revamped levels with lots more art and smoother details with you guys! But that's not all, we will be adding pitching mini games, and HOME RUN DERBY!!! And look out for multiplayer! Happy Swinging!
BIG OCULUS TOUCH UPDATE!!
We are happy to welcome all you TOUCH baseball players, we've incorporated the new OCULUS TOUCH system into our game, and we've even added a few buttons for folks that only have 2 sensors. We know that turning around can be an issue sometimes, so we added a button that flips you around 180 degrees no matter what you are doing in game! Makes choosing menus, catching baseballs, and hitting UFOs a lot easier. We also added a few other cool things. We re-did the ball trails for CATCH and DISTANCE, added better anti-aliasing, and tweaked a few things here and there. We hope you enjoy, and happy swinging!
SO MANY SPECTATOR CAMERAS!
We are really excited about this update, it makes it a lot of fun to play this game with other people watching! When someone is in the game, you can use your keyboard (spacebar/arrows/numbers) to cycle through different camera angles and the player can even hold a camera in-game! Enjoy the new angles and happy swinging!
MUSIC BUTTON + JUGGLE FIXES!
Some of you asked for the ability to turn off the music in certain levels, so we created a button to do just that and we brought down the music on all the levels. We also saw that some of you were using sneaky ways to cheat in the juggle level, so we fixed that :) Happy Swinging!
MORE BATTING METHODS !!
You asked for more ways to activate the bat, so we gave you options! There is now a bat grip button under settings in the locker room. Choose from the original "HOLDING" (hold the grips) or "TOOGLE" (turn on or of with grips) or "ALWAYS" (where the bat never goes away) The game will save your choice and startup in that mode after that. Happy Swinging!
LOCAL LEADERBOARDS + BATTER PRACTICE!
In addition to playing against other users on STEAM you can now add local high scores in the game! People also wanted a level where they could just bat on a field with no game or timer, so we added a "BATTING PRACTICE" button and some more tutorials! Happy Swinging!
HOOPS now way easier ! Batting area fixed !
We got some messages from folks saying they loved the game but couldn't get past the HOOPS level, so we made it a lot easier. Now when you get a ball through a hoop you still get 5 points, but when you hit a hoop you only lose 1 point instead of -5. So it's a lot LOT easier to get 15 points and unlock the next level.
We also got messages from some folks with smaller play areas who had trouble batting since the TEE was always in the middle. We now give you a bit more room, depending on if you are right or left handed. We also made the lockers in the lobby a bit slimmer and brought the buttons closer for folks who had trouble reaching.
We'll be adding stuff like random smashables in additional levels (since we noticed people really love smashing things) and adding music on/off buttons and a few more surprises in the near future. Happy Swinging!
