• Update 5: Pro Ops Skatepark And New Mechanics - 8 August 2017

  First I want to give a big thanks to American Ramp Company for allowing me to use some of their new ramp designs in game. They helped push me to add some cool new mechanics. You can check out some of the designs I used here . Also another big thanks to Dan MacFarlane for setting it up. Pro Ops Themed Skatepark: This is the first infinite level as it allows you to go back and forth in the map. This level also introduces a few new mechanics to the game like stalls and ramps. https://media.giphy.com/media/xT39D1zQ7ZSa5gt5gk/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/xT39D8D9vfTh5V9be8/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/3og0IE4PgOSqYeawJa/giphy.gif Updated Church level: Church level has been expanded a bit more.

• Update 4: Multiplayer! - 19 May 2017

  Hey everyone, sorry for the long wait but Multiplayer is here! It is just the basics for right now, but it's still really fun skating with others. Once I get all the kinks all sorted out I’ll start to add a S.K.A.T.E. game mode. Along with that I will be adding more features like Friends only servers and better server sorting. Let me know what features you would like to see! There has also been a good amount of updates to the Board Handling so let me know what you think. Added Multiplayer Basics - You can either Join or Create a server by going to the Multiplayer menu from the HUB. - Up to 4 players can skate together on any map in the game - Voice Chat: This is on by default you can mute players from the multiplayer screen once you've joined a game. - Gif Capture other players: you can switch to GIF capture mode while in a MP game by pressing the left start button. - Item Syncing Level…

• Update 3: Controls Overhaul - 15 April 2017

  Hey everyone thanks for the feedback so far! I’ve done an overhaul to a lot of the mechanics that control the board. I've reduced the max distance the board can go down and rewrote the grip system amongst other things. Overall the board should be less floaty and grip to your hands better. There are still bugs and it's not perfect but I think it's much better than before. I also want to give a big thanks to Mentality Skateboards and Dan MacFarlane. If you skate please check out their boards and videos I've listed below. As always please let me know of any issues and what you think of the new controls. Mentality Skateboards Decks added. Grab these awesome boards in the skate shop.

  Thanks everyone for all the feedback! I added an Icon System to address some issues new players were having understanding tricks. So please let me know if it helps.

Please let me know if something doesn't feel right. Rebind controls updated. You can now adjust anchor point as well Added Touch Controls to help screen. Tooltips still need to be fixed for Touch. Added spark FX to wheels Testing some new obstacles at end of bank location.

• Update 1 is Live! - 23 March 2017

  Thanks everyone for all the feedback so far. I was able to implement a few of the suggestions and they turned out great! I will try and keep the updates flowing so please leave feedback and reviews if you can! Version 0.0.64 You can now start anywhere on a map. Simply use the teleport with the left controller while the blue spawn board is active. Please let me know if you run into bugs. Shoe Rebinding: You can now rebind your controllers to the shoes from the settings menu. Added Wall rides. These are really hard and still need tweaking but they are in. School has been extended with a few more obstacles. Let me know what you think! Leaderboards now show top 10. More features for this coming. Style system now affects trick score: Sloppy - 25%, Clean +25%. This system is far from final and will be updated to include grinds eventually.

• Hover Skate VR Released! - 17 March 2017

  Its finally released! Thanks to everyone whos helped along the way. Last month has mostly been bug fixing and tweaking but also added some content. - 2 new test spots Bank and Rooftops - Each spot now has leaderboards - Binaural Sound (Steam Audio SDK) There is one thing I want to point out about Hover Skate so people are not misled. HS leans more on the side of a simulator than a game. Learning and landing tricks will take practice and patience. I would say the difficulty lies somewhere between Skate 2 and real skateboarding. With that being said the controls/mechanics are far from perfect and I am awaiting feedback so I can improve them as much as possible. I hope everyone enjoys HS and I look forward to hearing your feedback! Thanks!

• Release set to early March - 26 February 2017
