- We've released version 1.0.3! - 8 June 2017
Greeting pilots! We've finally released version 1.0.3 and just got out of early access! Toy Plane Heroes has grown so much since our first early access release and it's really exciting to see how much content we were able to develop for this project, even though it started really small in the Oculus DK1 era. It's also super interesting to look at the leader boards and see how you guys became a lot better then us! :D After this time we've definitely learned a lot about creating vr games and it was crazy to see that there was a community war starting between Vive and Oculus. We've always tried to deliver the same quality to both headsets and made sure that all players can play against each other no matter where they buy our game and what device they are using. It's sad to see that the vr community got a little bit divided by this but we think it is already getting better! In the end both…

- Huge update: New singleplayer campaign! - 2 November 2016
Hi Pilots! this might be our biggest update so far! While we have been focused on the multiplayer part in the last couple of updates we also realized that the player base of vr is currently not big enough to play against other players all the time. Even though you already had the possibility to add bots to the servers, we wanted to make the singeplayer part of the game more appealing. That's why we've added a new campaign mode in which you can take the side of McRed or/and OGreen to play some fun little missions! (If you want to be on the scoreboard: Now is the time to do so! :D ) We've also added a brand new map and so much more but you will see that inside of the game! You might have noticed that we changed the price to 9.99$. While our game was very well received most of the time, some of the players are disappointed that there aren't other players online all the time. We hope that w…

- New Optional VR Comfort Mode! - 29 October 2016
Hi Pilots! We are incredibly excited to share our new VR Comfort mode with you! It took us a long time to develop a mode that is fun, balanced for multiplayer and that is less intense in regards of motion sickness but we think we finally did it and just made an Update for the Game. The comfort mode automatically stabilizes your plane so that there is not much rolling/looping involved. You can control your plane with one stick only and basically just use yaw und pitch. The stabilizer will do the rest for you! While this may sound limiting to some of you we made sure that it is still a lot of fun and it makes the game accessible to a lot of new players! NOTE: This mode is completely optional! We love the regular mode because of the intense gameplay and we know a lot of other people like it too. There for the default is off. (You get a note at the first start of the game) But if you look i…

- New map released: Supermarket! - 2 August 2016
Hi Pilots! We finally integrated our biggest map so far: The Supermarket! The gameplay is a lot different on such a big map. It's a little bit slower and less intense then our other maps. We really think that it's a good addition to the game! All in all i'ts just mind blowing to fly through a supermarket with a tiny toy plane! :D Here is a picture of what it's like to start at the McReds: Here are some of the changes: Added the Supermarket map Improved flight handling for bigger maps Improved rigidbody physics Capture the Flag: Arrow now looks at the desired flag Added respawn button for Classic Race Improved AI Scoreboard now refreshes more often Fixed wrong sound file We hope you like the update and as always see you inside of Toy Plane Heroes!

- Sneak Preview of the Supermarket - 28 July 2016
Hi Pilots! We are currently working day and night to finish our biggest map so far! We still have a lot to do but we have the feeling that the Supermarket is going to be awesome! :) Unity's lightmapping system is pretty unstable for such big environments but we are getting closer to good results. Hope you like it!

- Custom controller (PS4) issue Fix - Instructions - 14 June 2016
Hi Pilots, thanks to the user Nubbits, we fixed a bug that can be pretty annoying for people who are using a PS4 controller. In case you have the problem that the right trigger opens the menu and the left trigger recenters your view you should try this: 0. Restart Steam 1. Right click on Toy Plane Heroes in the library and click properties 2. Click on the BETAS tab. 3. Enter following password in the input box: "toyplaneheroesnubbits" and click check code 4. Choose wip64 under the beta drop down menu. It should make an Update. Make sure it says 7.64b on the TV. You can customize the OpenMenu Button and the Recenter Button in the options menu. The fix will also be in the new stable update coming soon but we thought we might share this information already in case anyone has experienced the same issue. Have fun!
- Update: Helicopter, Closed Cockpits, Capture the Flag and other cool stuff! - 28 May 2016
Hi Pilots! We are very excited to announce that we've just released our next big update! We've included a new level one standard plane called "Airliner". The plane looks a little bit like a Piper and has a closed cockpit. Therefor it should be a lot more comfortable for people who are sensitive to motion sickness. :) One of the biggest changes in the update is that we've integrated our first helicopter called "Little Copter". We think we've managed to develop a flight system that is both challenging but not to hard for beginners. The helicopter is also a level one vehicle so that people can choose from three different types at the start. They should be comfortable in the regards of simulator sickness as you can't do rolling and loopings etc. It will still be very intense in regards of heights! ;) We made it a little bit slow so that people won't crash to fast. :P We are really excited a…

- Helicopters and new planes coming soon for less motion sickness! - 17 May 2016
Greetings Pilots! We've got a lot of feedback and we've noticed that, while the majority of people are doing fine in regards of motion sickness (or even like the crazy feeling of flying :) ), there are still some people who can't play the game but really want to... We've made a lot of tests in this regard and noticed that we also need planes with a big closed cockpit as a reference point.Therefore we are currently focusing on another level 1 plane that kind of looks like a Cessna or a Piper. Most people actually love the open cockpits because it's so intense but with the Cessna, Bomber and the Jet we are going to deliver planes that can be used for users who are looking for a more moderate experience. Flying loopings and rolling will also be intense in a closed cockpit and you might sometimes want to fly around in the most comfortable way possible and just enjoy the toy styled world, sh…

- New plane released: "Jet" ! - Bot's can now fly all planes - 28 April 2016
Hi Pilots, we just made another update and it contains a lot of cool stuff! :) We've done some smaller fixes/changes but most importantly we've released the "Jet"! You can get it once you are level 5 and this plane will feel completely different from the others. :O It has a fully closed cockpit. We are really looking forward to what you think about it! The other big change is that we've updated our bots so that they can fly with all planes. They just pick a random one once you add a bot. It's now a real toy plane battle even when you are playing against the computer. :) We've also added some stats to our planes. You can see them when you hover over the 3D hologram. This way you know exactly what the main differences are. Thanks for all the feedback and see you inside of Toy Plane Heroes!

- Added Bot Difficulty Settings - 14 April 2016
Hi Pilots, we've recently got a lot of feedback that our bots are pretty difficult for beginners. That's why we made an Update which includes customizable Bot Difficulties. You can select "easy, normal and hard" in the lobby. (In the balloon before the round starts) Now you can just enjoy shooting bots or have a really challenging dogfight battle! We've also improved the Tutorial and fixed a lot of minor bugs for the overall stability. We think you are really going to like the new Version. Check it out! Thanks and have fun playing Toy Plane Heroes!
