VRQB
Height Adjustment Added
We've added in the ability to adjust your height from the options menu in-game. Hopefully this helps to alleviate the issue that some Oculus players have had with their in-game height being too tall.
We've tested this on several different configurations and it seems to work correctly, but please let us know if you have any issues.
Thanks!

VRQB Launching Today!
We're proud to announce that VRQB is now out of Early Access and launching today! We'd like thank the community for all of your feedback during Early Access that helped us mold the game over the past year.
Here are the the updates included in this release:
New Target Type – Routes

The new “routes” target type features all new movement for targets. Targets follow one of a dozen different routes down the field, with a large animated route arrow indicating the path that each target will take. The targets increase in point value as they move down the field, so try to hit them near the end of each route for maximum points. This new target type is available in all three game modes, so be sure to try them all out!
Gloves

We've also added gloves in this update. You can choose from one of 8 different pairs of gloves from the main screen, to complement the existing 5 different footballs. By default, we still show the controller during gameplay to assist with orientating players with the controls. However, players can choose to hide the controller via the options menu, so that the controller is only visible in the menu.
Wrapup
Over the past year, we've added several rounds of content updates to VRQB. These updates included online leaderboards, achievements, Oculus support, scramble mode, and the updates announced above. Due to this extra content, we're raising the price slightly to $7.99 for our final release. While we do not plan on having any more major content updates at this time, we will continue supporting VRQB with smaller updates through the end of this year.
Once again, thank you for your support! If you have any questions or comments, you can contact us via our email at support@aftersunsetgames.com, or on our community discussion page here on Steam.

Oculus Support
We now have support for Oculus Rift using OpenVR. Touch controllers are required.
Achievements
We've also added achievements, complete with in-game trophies to recognize your accomplishments! We've added 15 achievements of various difficulties in this update. Try to unlock them all!
Other Changes
We've implemented several other smaller changes:
- Celebratory confetti and fireworks now appear after scoring a touchdown
- Added additional background music
- Added Total Score indicator to 2-minute drill/scramble
- Rock ball is now lighter
- Foam ball is now heavier
- Improved grass texture
Wrapup
As this is the first update with Oculus support, please let us know if you have any issues, and we'll resolve them as soon as possible. You can contact us via our email at support@aftersunsetgames.com, or on our community discussion page here on Steam.
We're planning on releasing one more content update before leaving Early Access by the end of the summer. As we have added several rounds of content over the past few months, we will likely have a small price increase as we leave Early Access. However, until VRQB exits Early Access, it will remain the same price.
Thank you for your support!

Scramble Mode Update!
We've been hard at work for the past few months working on a new update. We're releasing that update today, which has several new features.
New Game Mode – Scramble

The new Scramble game mode has you dodging our VRQB tackling dummies as you try to score as many touchdowns as possible. Be careful, as after each touchdown you score, the dummies will increase their speed and spawn rate. You can be tackled three times before your round is over, so don't give up after taking your first hit!
Online Leaderboards
We've also added online leaderboard functionality. Right now, we simply display the top ten overall scores for each game mode if you select the “Online” tab in the leaderboard menu. We have individual leaderboards for each ball type/game mode combo available via our community hub. We may integrate these leaderboards in-game in a future update, depending on your feedback.
Note: As we are still in early access, online leaderboards will likely be reset at some point before final release as we tweak various aspects of gameplay.
Rock Ball
Please welcome the newest additional to the VRQB football collection – the rock ball! If you're looking for a challenge, this ball will certainly give you one.

Because of the extra force required to throw this ball, please be especially careful and mindful of your surroundings (we've had several incidents with ceiling fans during testing ;) )
Scoring Changes
Based on user feedback, we've implemented some scoring changes. The amount of points received for each target is now partially determined by the target's distance. Targets farther from the user will be worth more points than those close by.
Because this change affects high scores moving forward, you'll likely want to reset your high score list. Simply navigate to the options menu, and select the “Clear High Scores” button. You will receive a prompt confirming that you want to clear the scores. After selecting “Clear Scores”, all of your local high scores will be reset.
Wrapup
As you can see, we've introduced a lot of functionality changes in this update. We've tested this update pretty thoroughly, but if you notice anything that isn't working properly, or just have feedback in general, please let us know. You can contact us via our email at support@aftersunsetgames.com, or on our community discussion page here on Steam.
Once again, thank you for your support!

Chrome Ball Now Available!
Hey everybody!
We've released a small update adding the newest ball to the VRQB collection - the chrome ball! This ball has a little more weight to it than the pigskin, so it will provide you with quite a workout as you try to make your way down the field. Why release this update featuring a shiny, metal ball today? No particular reason... ;)
We'd also like to thank everybody who has supported us by purchasing the game. We're planning on releasing more information on our next update sometime in the next few weeks. In the mean-time, please feel free to send us your feedback at support@aftersunsetgames.com, or via our forums here on Steam.
Thanks again!
