Spikair Volleyball
Devlog #5 Demo update
The demo got updated a lot and if you played it during the Steam Next Fest, you'll feel the difference !
We kept the core gameplay but we improved the tutorial and other small detail to give players a better experience :D
Now we can really tell you that the Demo is way better than our Alpha version :

Devlog #4 Demo incoming
Block out
You know this feeling when the guy in front of you is WAY TOO TALL and keeps blocking you ? Hinata does.
We didn't like it so we added the possibility to imitate our icon : THE LITTLE GIANT !
You can now hit hard high hands and if the guy try to block you, it will results as a block out :D
But be carefull with this technique because without the block, your ball will go out xD
SlowMotion
We added slowmotion on the last points of the game. The feeling to win/lose is way stronger now ♥
Effects
We added VFX in the game :
- ring when you spike the ball
- impact when you block/pass the ball
- smoke when the ball hits the ground
Steam Next Fest
We worked hard and the game is ready for his first show. Spikair Volleyball will be part of Steam Next Fest which will start in just 2 weeks !
Demo Content
You'll have little tutorials to understand how to :
- serve
- attack
- set
- block
- pass
Then it's time for you to play a game against your own computer (yeah, it's a terrible fate, isn't it ?).
With this demo, we want to have our second big contact with the community after the Alpha Version which is still available here :
https://le-jo.itch.io/spikair-volleyball-alpha
The game changed a lot and we hope you'll like it even more ♥

We can't wait to see what you will think of the game ! As always, you can contact us in the Steam forum ♥
P-S : the doors of the Official Discord will open really soon ! :D
Devlog #3 New system
Long time no see, right ? :3
NEW SYSTEM !
It was for a good reason ! We were working on our full new game system. For your eyes, you can't probably see the difference but for us, it changes everything !
Indeed, we can now add / modify moves (sets, spikes, defenses) without having to change the full game.
New teams
We had new teams :
- Cuba
- Canada
- Italia
- Iran
- Netherlands
- Tunisia
- Serbia
- Slovenia
New courts
We had new courts to have various environnements (for the moment, it's colors skins only)
Serve positions
Details are important so we now have a proper serve position for your team mates. They will try to block the view of opponents and we might see some ACE ;)

Thanks for your patience and we're happy to read you in the Steam forum ♥
Devlog #2 Dynamic camera
Happy new year :D
We hope that's you're doing great and had wonderful Christmas nights. Maybe we'll do some Christmas things for Spikair at the end of 2022 :D
We worked a lot this month so let's go :
DYNAMIC CAMERA !!!
Yeah, the main point of this update is the camera. The work isn't done yet but we're happy with the current result and hope you'll like it :)
Better graphix
I know, it's not easy to see but we added new effects and the GPU needs to work now so I guess it's "better" :D
Line judges
Because of COVID19, our judges took some vacations but now, they're back B)
Popcorn vendor
100% useless so 100% needed
A nice guy called Larry is now selling popcorn to the spectators. Did you see him in the trailer ? ;)
Because YES, we updated the Steam page with a new trailer and we hope you'll enjoy it ♥
Thanks for reading and, as always, you can talk with us in the HUB > Discussions on Steam
Devlog #1 from 2D to 3D
From Alpha version, we're now in Beta version !
It's mostly about visual. The game is now in 3D. We want to keep pixel art 2D so players and other stuff will stay 2D sprites but FX, shadows and other stuff are now much more enjoyable to watch ;)
To show the progress, we update the Steam page with few screenshots and a new trailer :D
We hope you'll enjoy it ! ♥
