I fell in love with this game at Magfest this past year, I just could not stop playing! I am dying to have a way to play remotely with friends.
I am interested in building a networked online version to allow remote play, and potentially adding the team vs team option as well.
This would be a purely hobby/learning project, and all accreditation would be given. Would it be possible for me to get your permission, and the source code, to facilitate this project?
Hey! We love to hear about people who enjoyed the game at Magfest!
I guess I have bad news and good news for you. The bad news is that I’m not able to share the source code for the game. The good news is that that’s because I’m currently working on polishing a PC (and Mac and Linux) version of what you played Magfest to release as a demo on Itch! It’ll have the team vs. team modes (including the “friendship” split controller mode) and the full (for now) roster of eight birds.
After that, I’d like to get a Steam demo + full release done, but no promises on when that’ll be. I am potentially looking at adding networking, but at minimum the Steam version will support Remote Play Together.
Watch this space for when the updated demo appears, or sign up at http://volleybird-game.com. That mailing list will be the first to hear about any updates.
And thanks again for your interest in the game! It means a lot and helps motivate me and the rest of the team to get moving!
