Try our next game on Steam for free! MechaLeague is a VR and desktop multiplayer platformer. Play a selection of game modes including race, score attack and survival.
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.
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.
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. Otherwis…
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…
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. ːsteamhappyː
If you've been experiencing jittery hands on Oculus Touch please try the beta build and see if that's an improvement over the main branch and comment here.
We've pushed the new netcode out to the main branch now. You should see improvements across the board. We've also bumped up the gain on the mic a bit. Check on your steam settings to make sure you're using the correct mic in VR. ːsteamhappyː
Hi folks, Had a good Easter weekend? We've been busy making networking more stable. On the beta branch you should find that you can get more Quick Matches going. (with other beta users) We've also added experimental voice chat. Let me know if either of these things work for you in the comments.
We've updated the version of unity we're using to 5.5 which includes a new version of PhysX. Let me know if you notice any issues. Also for people who get the leaderboard stuck on their mallet, you can no longer grab the leaderboards or info box while holding something. They still pop up when you touch them but so long as they out of the play area it wont obscure your view any more.
It's that time of year when the nights get longer and you put on your ugly jumpers and you settle in for some marathon gaming sessions to avoid speaking to your family. To celebrate this season of good will we're giving you not 1 but 6 new toys and fireworks to buy in the gift shop along with snowmen, Christmas trees, presents and snowy weather in our free content update! Enjoy! ːsteamhappyː
*Fixed an issue with the light bake *Fixed the ticket counter not appearing on your hands *Gift shop ticket counter shows the correct number of tickets *Bowling lights turn off when you start a game after changing quality settings *Reduced the number of checks for controllers if you have 1 turned off P.S. We're exhibiting at Develop:VR in London tomorrow and the exhibition area is free to enter…
We've added Oculus Touch support ready for when they release which includes the following changes: *Crouch button on Touch controls to make reaching the floor easier *Point the laser at coin slots to insert coins if you're too lazy to bend over We've also moved the radio stations text file to the root of the game folder. Keep an eye out for future seasonal content ːsteammockingː P.S. Thank you…
We've simplified the teleport so that now it moves you to the position you aim at (rather than the room centre). This does mean you have to rely on your chaperone more to avoid walls but gives you better control of your play space. We've also been given permission to include some radio stations to the juke box so now there's a selection of game radio stations preloaded. ːsteamhappyː
Had a good Halloween? Here's some not-too-spooky changes: * Added hot keys for hosting and joining * H - hosts a public game * J - joins a game (same IP as the previous session you manually joined) * Bowling pin hit test tweak * Bowling balls more bouncy * Bowling balls make a rolling sound * Light probe tweak * Teleporting with teddies work now * Added new pucks clarification to Penguin Shuffl…
We have a spooky update for you! ːsteammockingː For the next week or so you'll find your arcade has some new residents in the rafters and a couple jack-o'-lanterns dotted around. But that's not all, we have also added a whole new game! Shoot wild west zombies for points but don't let them reach you or you'll lose time and points. This game is a permanent addition so you can play it year round.…

Hi, We need some testers for the new NAT punch-through method. This method consists of 3 components: · Automatic port forwarding · NAT punch-through facilitator · Direct connection This will allow 90%~ of users to play online (unless your network or router blocks the above methods e.g. school networks) If you haven't already port forwarded please try connecting to another player online either w…
Super Punch changes: · Changed the word "Bad" to "Slow" to make scoring more clear. · Removed message when hitting a paddle that's not all the way up for less clutter / confusion. Other Changes: · Dino Whack physics tweak. · Oculus related tweaks. Future updates: We're experimenting with other NAT-punchthrough methods to make the process more streamlined for users.
