Welcome Temtem!

I find it quite interesting to see where you all are working (or gaming) at. So let me use the off topic area to create this "Your deskop" thread. The rules are simple: Discuss and/or post a screenshot of your desktop or a photo of your desk here :D You can use image services like directup...

Is it working/ planned to work full P2P with one of the player hosting the match? Yes, matches are established over a peer to peer connection where one player is serving as a host. There are downsides to this, but this is the most efficient way for network play in M1. Moreover, perhaps it'd be inte...

Hi there, it is now more than a month ago since I put something on the news category. The reason is that I am working on lots and lots of backend stuff which is not that fancy to show off. If you are watching the Pixel Tennis Progress topic, you already saw some "//2018xxxx" entries which ...

Networking P2P
More tests on P2P networking - fails on my system when UPnP is disabled. Error handling and fallback connections required.

Network Gameserver
First test with externally hosted gameserver made. Success!

UI
Menu system for login and character selection added. Lobby and Room system basics implemented.

happy easter, too!

Nintendo's soundtracks like the one from BotW are great as background music while programming
But somehow, YouTube "autoplayed" me to this one and its playlist which I am listening right now o.o

Moin thefoot,

let me use this thread to officially welcome you to the team :) I am really glad that you contacted me and also are going to support me on this project.

Your knowledge you built up for concepting Atarashi Racket will come in handy for sure.

Happy birthday Tsu!

Thanks you two!

@matt090: You are welcome :). If there is something that comes to my mind, I will let you know. IF you are bored (really, that's nothing with priority), you could create some textures for the arena net post wings and the decals for the court marks (the white lines at the ground) to make the arena ev...

Heya and welcome!

It slowly starts to feel like a reunion

In general, this is a good idea, but I can not think of many tasks that could be assigned to other people without heavily preparing the context and/or a working environment. Even creating textures is kinda difficult as Pixel Tennis' art style is not decided yet. By the way, your arena floor looks re...

Thanks all for your input! @Tsukoyomi: Yes, the slice went a bit too far. This is already changed. Ball speeds etc. are still a thing that need to be balanced later. @MrJivoirien: I'm not sure, if it does sound stupid, but I do not plan to use Pixel Tennis to earn money. I am glad that people are ac...

Welcome Ustasa80! It's cool to see so many familiar names here.

Cool, the lob circle definitely looks better than my photoshop attempt. I will try the arena floor when I added support for different courts.

Same for me ^^"

Hi matt,

welcome and thank you for your feedback! I also hope, that this project will develop into an actual complete game.

Those textures look nice and pretty close to the Fantasy Tennis ones. Are they ripped of the game?

Database
Created SQL database model

Gameplay
Added advanced moves and skillshots (see viewtopic.php?f=2&p=162)

Thanks! This was a fast reply :shock: The long slice should actually be high enough to be smashable. Have not tested it in multiplayer though. About the banner thing - yes, it is missing (or any kind of visual indicator that a team scored). This and also other graphical / animation stuff will come l...

Hi there, I am glad to announce, that I can post a new video about Pixel Tennis' gameplay mechanics. This video demonstrates additional gameplay elements that were implemented recently. Like in part 1, the main focus lies on gameplay and game mechanics. Pixel Tennis visual appearance will definetely...
