v1.1.3 - Free Locomotion
We have a small but hopefully valuable patch this time which introduces more locomotion options! Major Changes Added direct locomotion as an accessibility option. Press Menu on Vive controllers, or B/Y on Oculus Touch to slow time and choose your desired locomotion. Minor Changes

Major Changes

Added direct locomotion as an accessibility option. Press Menu on Vive controllers, or B/Y on Oculus Touch to slow time and choose your desired locomotion.
Minor Changes

NPC opponents no longer favor throwing at the human player. This should result in more effective opponents when playing with teammates.
Remember, the feature roadmap can be found on Trello and please let us know what you think of the locomotion!
Happy Dodging!

Hi everyone!
First off we want to thank everyone who has played Dodgeball Simulator VR thus far and we want to encourage you to keep the feedback coming! We've received some great feedback via reviews, Steam community posts, and YouTube videos.
This past week we were able to come up with an Early Access development roadmap listing some of the features that are:

Under considering
Planned for development
In Progress
Available to play
The roadmap can be viewed on this public Trello board.
First up: Improvements to NPC behavior, animation, and throwing!
We've received plenty of feedback about the opponents feeling a touch robotic. We also understand that the anti-gravity throws from the AI are jarring to some players and is ruining the immersion. We hope to correct this soon!
Again, your feedback will be critical in prioritizing and populating the roadmap, so let us know what you'd like to see next in Dodgeball Simulator VR!

Help! I can't move!
Dodgeball Simulator VR uses teleportation for locomotion: during the match you will be able to teleport to pre-defined points, before and after the match you are free to teleport around the gym as you please.

For HTC Vive wands, press down on the trackpad to teleport.
For Oculus Touch controllers, click the thumbstick button in to teleport.
Direct Locomotion
Direct locomotion can be enabled via the "Accessibility Menu" should you choose to do so.

For HTC Vive wands, press the Menu button to open the menu.
For Oculus Touch controllers, press either B or Y to open the menu.
How can I pick up balls and items?
Use the trigger buttons on your HTC Vive wand or Oculus Touch controller while hovering your hand over a ball, ball bin, or item.
How can I avoid getting hit?
You need to move your body and head to avoid getting hit by incoming balls! The opponents will be targeting your head, you will need to lean out of the way or find a way to deflect the incoming balls if you hope to emerge victorious.
Where can I get support?
Feel free to email any further questions or issues to [email protected]. Also please provide feedback, ideas, and discussions to the Steam community forums!
