Hi All,

A few of you may have noticed you can no longer purchase Podium Bash on the Steam Store.

The reason for this is that we have noticed some serious issues with the game, we believe caused by our SteamVR implementation being very out of date.

We currently don't have time to fix the issue, and we didn't want people who bought the game to encounter the issues with no fix coming in the immediate future.

We do have plans to fix the issue and bring more content to the game soon, but we currently don't have a date for that yet.

If you already own the game and are seeing issues, please contact us to let us know.

Thank you for your understanding,

Corrie
Creative Director

Hey everyone, Corrie here, Creative Director at Feisty Crab Studios.

You're probably wondering where we've been for the past few months, I thought now was a good time to give you all an update to let you know we're still working on the game.

For those that don't know, we're currently a 2 man team. Due to financial trouble, we've both had to take full time jobs so we can continue to exist and work on the game. This has put development on the back burner a bit; but we still are working on ways to improve gameplay.

This is our first release on Steam, and our first game that isn't a POC or micro game. We've encountered teething problems as can be expected, but we're constantly learning from this experience. We're thankful for those that have bought the game and supported us. We hope we can deliver a game you constantly return to.

If you have any suggestions on how to make the game more enjoyable, please do let us know. Sometimes its hard for us as developers to see the game as an end user so we'd love any and all feedback.

Thanks again for all the support, we'll have a new update for you soon. Follow us on twitter to see more casual updates

Hi all,

We hope you all had a good holiday and great New Years!

This is another exciting content update for Podium Bash that adds a new gamemode that mixes up the way you play!

The new gamemode is called Standard Reverse, and much like its name suggest it is similar to the Standard gamemode but with the players roles reversed. The VR player is stood on top of a podium with a mounted turret and has 90 seconds to destroy all of the carts targets. There can be between 1 and 4 carts controlled with by either human player or AI; The carts have to move around and avoid having there targets destroyed by the VR player. If they can last 90 seconds without all there targets being destroy they win, if not the VR player wins!

Aside from the new gamemode this update also updates the control screen to have controls for all gamemodes.

Hi all,

This is another exciting update to Podium Bash as it not only improves physics, but also adds a new gamemode.

The update to the physics makes the bats in the game behave more like real bats allowing for players to hit the cannon balls back towards the cannons. This change means that in the standard mode, cannon balls can be hit back into the cannons; if a cannon ball is hit back into a cannon, the cannon that was hit is stunned for a short amount of time.

The improved physics also makes the new gamemode possible. The new gamemode is called Bat Practice and much like its name suggests is a mode designed to help the VR player hone their abilities with a bat. In this mode, the VR player has cannon balls automatically fired at them by a cannon; the VR player uses their bat to hit the cannon balls into targets to get points, with the aim of getting as many points as they can in 90 seconds.

This update also adds a few other changes:
- New menu option for Bat Practice mode
- Pause menus for non VR players in Standard and Cannon Practice mode
- A timer for the VR player in Standard mode

We hope you enjoy this update, please let us know if you encounter any errors or have any suggestions,

Hi all,

This is quite an exciting update as it adds the new Cannon Practice gamemode to Podium Bash. This gamemode is intended for use without a player in VR to hone your cannon skills. It is one of the more simple gamemodes we intend on adding so don't worry we have some more exciting ones coming up!

In Cannon Practice you can have between 1 - 4 human players; Your task is to get as many points as you can in 90 seconds. You gain points by shooting targets with targets further away being worth more than targets closer to you.

You can watch the trailer for this gamemode here.

This update also adds a few other changes:
- Time between cannon shots reduced
- Small UI update
- Gamemode select now shows players needed for gamemode
- Added ability for non VR to return to main menu from the lobby of either mode by press back when unjoined
