when i start this game, it just shows a black screen with 4 hoverbikes and they fight each other forever and i cant control them or something. also i use mac just to say
This is...really great news! I am so excited about this game. I hope all the best to you on your quest and hope you have fun doing this epic game. Have fun, try not to stress and take your time. I wish this catches wide attention, as it will (and already does) deserve! There are so few hoverbike games, and so few jousting games. These should be the two main genres of PCgaming if you ask me! ..and even less hoverbike jousting games. I mean, how hasn't anyone come up with this before?! Genious. Going to try the new version right now!
Thank you! I'm finally close to finishing B-12 (the game I started before this one), and as soon as that one hits 1.0, I'll be resuming work on Hoverbike Joust. I already got it moved over to a newer engine and started looking into network multiplayer code. =]
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it! =] Have you ever played the original 'Joust' from 1982? Always one of my favs on the rare occasion an arcade still has a cabinet. Not a lot in common with Hoverbike Joust, but lots of fun, and I don't see it get mentioned much these days.
Actually I have! (had it on Gameboy a long time ago), and Hoverbike Joust actually made me think of it! Great minds think alike it seems. Another good jousting game is Last Knight Rogue Rider, if you haven't heard of it. Do you know any more jousting games? ;D
After another session of Hoverbike Joust I grew to like it even more. I congratulate you on the original idea and great execution! This really is a game I can easily imagine sinking countless hours into (with the leaderboards and multiplayer oh boy)
The barrels in the circa-83 are fun to tip over. This made me wish that destructible objects like this would be awesome to see more in the game (e.g. a little shortcut blocked by barrels or something like that). I truly enjoy this kind of physics-based-braking-stuff in games :) Or a tree branch that you have to duck under, if you don't you will hit your head in it and crash! Or water obstacles (or pits or something) that you have to kind of glide over by first leaning forward and then backward while accelerating. OR MAYBE there could be a trial mode with these features, that has really difficult tracks and obstacles and require very precise control of the bike? (I thought of this when I was trying to jump on top of the spawn points in arena mode, and to be able to do that and control the bike precisely gives great satisfaction, also making flips is fun). Or a mode that would have some sort of targets on the track that you have to joust. Well these are joust a couple of thoughts that came to mind! :)
Anyways, good luck with the game, I will be waiting the next iteration of it (and playing the last)! I wish great success for you.
ps Tried your other game b-12 and it was really great and fun to play, too!
Hey, thank you again for the awesome feedback and encouragement! You are right on the money with my vision for the game. More physics-objects, destructible stuff, and an unannounced 'running the gauntlet' mode (possibly using my proc-gen algorithm from B-12) are all on my to-do list already, so I think you'll be pleased as the game develops. =] The HJ fanbase is growingggg! =D

Ignore this I already figured it out I am so dumb lol.
I can't even join the game whenever I click start it turns all the buttons to grey and just stays on the main screen.
Still cool!
PS: I played this loong ago already:
Thank you, everyone! Hoverbike Joust is very much still alive! Will be getting back to it after I finish my first game, B-12.
I'm getting into indie games and this was my first taste, and I like how it tastes! Good work, I'll keep an eye on this one.
Wow nice game! I like the physics. Also nice music. Can't wait for it!
I forgot about jousting. Jousting is my favourite form of violence! Awesome!
