Hey guys! I'm finally ready to show off what I've been working on. I don't remember what sunlight is, but I did make a thing that I find pretty fun! (tl;dr - skip to the bottom for explosions)
A sharp blow to his head caused him to spring back, swinging his large, flat bat at the pitch. The hockey player swung his super stick with a tap on the helmet. Super Toe (Football) Back to Top. Super Stick (Hockey) Back to Top. Super Touch (Basketball) Back to Top. Super Jock (Baseball) Back to Top. Super Kick (Soccer).
The game is Super Hockey Ball.
I'm exhausted, so please forgive me for copy/pasting. Here's the trailer I cobbled together.
The following is what I wrote about it on my site:

What is Super Hockey Ball?
Super Hockey Ball is an action-packed, sports/adventure title being developed for virtual reality. Players will be immersed in a fast-paced game of hockey, using motion controllers to manipulate a hockey stick. Featuring intuitive, physics-driven gameplay, Super Hockey Ball is simply... fun!
Designed for SteamVR
Through our careful research, we’ve discovered that reality is boring. So, instead of just emulating reality, Super Hockey Ball makes it better! Utilizing our Targeted Locomotion System, you’ll never lose track of the ball (or your opponents). But what if scoring goals and teamwork aren’t your thing? No problem! Run around the neighborhood with your ball, earning points by doing trick shots and adventuring. You’ll even topple your enemies and environment with powerful, cartoon-inspired shots!
If you’re the type who loves options, we’ve got you covered with customization and gameplay settings. Players will be able to tweak their locomotion and stick handling so that their gameplay experience is perfect. But don’t worry! Our control settings have you covered whether you’ve never played before, or if you’re a seasoned hockey pro.
So, why Super Hockey Ball?
Playing with a ball is fun!
Go on. Ask your dog, a child, or anyone nearby. I'll wait.
Hell, ask yourself! Think back to before you got old and it started hurting to do stuff. It was so much fun to play with a ball that you probably did it even though you often had to chase it into your neighbor’s yard. You had to look for it in tall grass. You had to lose your ball and beg dad for another.
What if you never lost your ball? What if you were able to control it like a super star? What if you could adjust your equipment, mid-game, because it just didn’t feel right? What if you were a little bit taller? What if you were a Super Hockey Baller?
For Super Hockey Ball, a great deal of effort has gone into creating a fluid and simple VR experience. Players won't be picking up random objects just because they can. Instead, we’ve boiled things down to the fun part. Instead, players will be hitting a ball with a stick. Because that is, quite simply, fun. All the rest of it is just a bonus.

Do you remember those childhood years when you would just play with friends near your home, just tossing a ball around and hitting things with sticks. Those are some fond memories, but if you tried to recreate them you’ll discover two things. The first is that it’s not as fun as you remember it and second is that you might get some weird looks. The VR game Super Hockey Ball offers an enjoyable alternative. In it you play street hockey, surrounded by a cartoonish environment, aiming to score as many points as possible. The game is not released yet, but it’s worth taking a look at developers’ progress.About the GameSuper Hockey Ball is exactly what you might expect, you play street hockey with a ball. Of course there is more to it, but the developers have made sure that things are boiled down to this basic concept to avoid needless distractions.
There won’t be any random objects for you to pick up just because you can. What you’re going to be doing is running across the environment while hitting a ball with a hockey stick and trying to break targets.While the concept might be simple, the developers aim to make the game as polished as possible. Many of the features are designed to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable for the player. For instance, you’ll be able to choose between hand oriented locomotion and head oriented locomotion and there’ll be both smooth and snap turning.
Super Hockey Ball will also have roomscale blocking which means you won’t have to fear walk through virtual walls and objects as you move in the real world.As mentioned before the design of the game is very cartoonish which I believe sells the feeling of you being a young kid playing on the street very well. The levels are also partially procedurally generated.
By that I mean that the trees, bushes clouds and other objects are different every time you start up a level. The developers are working on adding more environments improving artwork and adding new music so you can expect for things to get even better.ConclusionI’ll be honest, I’ve never been interested in real hokey, but Super Hockey Ball’s goal isn’t to emulate reality, it is to present you with something better.
The developers seem to be working hard on the game are aiming to get it out this spring. If you are interested in Super Hockey Ball you can check out the official Steam page.
