Why has this gem not been re released on quest?

It'd be an instant top seller.

Devs should release this on Quest

I know it’d take some time and money to do, but this is exactly The kind of low poly count pick up and play game that would kill on quest. Plus it would give the game another chance to build up a player base for PC as well. Still one of the best (and only) great multiplayer shooters for VR.

Who is interested in organizing a time to have a multiplayer battle?

Hey, everyone. I just got this game and it seems like it could be a lot of fun. Currently there aren't any players online. Would anyone be interested in organizing a time to get on and have a large multiplayer battle?

does hover junkers have a story mode? yes or no.

On the steam page it says HJ is also a single player game, but I see some very angry fans who say they've waited a year for the single player campaign and it's still not here. It's hard to tell if there is a story-mode in this game right now or not.
Since I can't play a promise am I being mis-led by the devs? Or does the story-mode actually exist?

I won't purchase until I get an answer.

Can't connect to server

I just got the game and had some fun in the firing range, then decided to hop online and play a match. I'm in the lobby and it says not connected to server even when my internet is working fine, and other online VR games are working fine too. I tried hopping on to some other servers and all I ever get is "Not connected to server". Anyone dealt with this issue before?

Nobody plays this anymore?

I just bought a windows computer, HTC Vive, and the first game I bought was Hover Junkers... because it looked amazing. I go on to find a total ghost town. Then come here and read that people haven’t been playing for a year, because the developers quit. ... I want my money back. Take the game out of the store or add the campaign mode you promised. I didn’t pay $35 for a god damn shooting range.

Can't Play Game/Stuck at "Casket Height"

As soon as I launch the game, I see the measuring mechanism, and i look at the gauge. It says "press trigger", but when I do, nothing happens. I also see both the "glove hands" and the Vive controllers in VR. My Steam menu is not open and i cannot interact with any of the environment.

What is going on? Google has had 0 results for this issue.

This is game dead ?

Hello i'm owner of Vive and I 'm looking for a good game.

And everytime I read a critic on HJ, I read "there is no server" or "nobody to play", "the game is dead", bla bla ...

Is it good to think to reduce the price of this game to build a new community gamer or to do anything else to boost the community in this game ?

Commercial use of Hover Junkers

Hi, I'm the owner of a small town business that hosts events (in a variety of locations including client homes). Is there any way to obtain a commercial license (like Space Pirate Trainer has done)? Is it something that I could potentially start right now and pay you when you have commercial policies in place? Thanks a bunch for your time, I'm hoping to use my business to get other people as excited about VR as I am... (and... of course attract more business) =)

Multiple HTC Vive question

Dear all, Many thanks If you could help me. I have some questions about multiple HTC vive setup:

  • Can I use 2 Vives with TWO different games, on only 2 lighthouses? (of course 2 PCs)
  • How far have you proven the lighthouse to work at most?
  • How long is the supplied sync cable? Many many thanks

Anyone have any trouble with hackers? bjseaman seems to be using mods

I've been in a couple games with this guy, he seems to be able to take out ships from fairly far out, using a shotgun, frequently going 30-0 in an 8 minute game.

I'd be less suspicious if he was getting close up and headshotting everyone with the pistol. It is fairly easy to PWN noobs that way, but thats not what he is doing. He is somehow able to smash through ships at pretty far range using shotguns. You better be able take this guy out in 5 seconds at mid range, or you are done for.

Please make an immortal ship mode

the ship killing aspect of this game is kind of ruining what i bought the game for, which is finding cover to reload, etc.

either make them indestructible or please make the ships wayyyy harder to kill so there is actually a point to looting the crates. I played for a bit with my friend and as a new player that aspect was deinately a buzzkill for me.

It's a fun game, I hope that it gets a few of the tweaks that keep it alive and balanced.

When is the single-player campaign coming?

I bought this game on day one (actually, before day one - I pre-ordered it via their Indiegogo page). I got it primarily for the single-player campaign.

I've now waited almost a year and the single-player campaign still hasn't been released, so the game is just sitting there gathering dust. Even worse, there hasn't been any news posted on the Steam page for three months. On their Indiegogo page, there hasn't been any news for six months, with the last post saying that they will continue to update us on their progress...

I get the feeling that this game has just been abandoned now. Am I wrong? Has there been some news somewhere, or some idea of when the campaign will be coming?

Thanks.

Requested Features: 1v1 & 2v2 Matchmaking / Remove mic Options + add A moderated Discord

I asked about some very specific changes to the game a few months ago that I thought would preserve the community given the amount of inter-player friction that was being experienced on the servers. At first was told that it would take too long to implement these features, and now I'm wondering if the dev team will reconsider some ideas.

Matchmaking

Start Small. 1v1 Matchmaking with a leaderboard would get a lot of the people back. Even if queue times are 10 minutes, just implement the feature. I think 2v2s would be better but there's no player base currently. There has to be a regulated competitive aspect to the game beside jumping into a server with the same people over and over. Players need accolades to showcase their abilities. They also need to be in matches of similar ranking. i.e., RosevilleReaper shouldn't be in match with JimmyDingus who just bought a Vive today.

In-game Audio

Mute in-game audio by default for FFA and add separate audio channels for team matches. Please also implement a Moderated Discord Immediately. I believe that the majority of problems with the game revolve around people trash talking and getting their feelings hurt. The reality is that this is a competitive game and when you put a bunch of competitive people in a room together, things get ugly.if the devs cannot implement more in-game audio features immediately, i think they should start limiting the audio features and looking toward third party solutions like Discord to fill the gap.

Devs, please stop all other work on things that don't matter. If you have 500 guns and 0 people playing the game, you will continue getting more negative reviews on Steam. This also includes Single Player story mode gameplay (unless it's co-op). Even though i think it would add content and i would be interested in seeing it, the game is advertised as a multiplayer combat game. I would like to see it be that first above anything else.

This was such a Good Game... What Happened?

I'd like to help revive this community if possible. What does it need to get everyone back?

These shotguns are overpowered...

I can't even have a pistol battle with anyone anymore. All they have to do is move around all over the place with the shotgun, then I'm dead after a hand-full of shots to my ship. There is no more shooting skill needed here, this is very boring. Anyone know of a counter to this? There is no way I will ever be good enough of a sharpshooter to stop them majority of the confrontations, and I do not want to use the shotguns like they are doing. If the expectations are for us all to use shotguns then that is a bit absurd.

Stress Level Zero guys - How worried are you?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on state of VR, seemingly very slow adoption rates past the first rush and shrinking player base.

I'm rather sad to see this game seemingly heading into the sunset already. I've had amazing experiences with Hover Junkers and honestly I'm pretty surprised to see the player numbers shrinking as much as they have been in the last couple of months.

Yes I know the Rift guys are coming but I'm starting to get worried for Hover Junker's longevity =(.

Campaign

Any estimate of when we will have a campaign mode? I tryed multiplayer again last night, and to be honest it was an unpleasant experience. There was a total of about 5-6 players in a 'friendly' match, and a certain player with initials RR, was shit talking and abusing the newbs to no end. This can not be a healthy way to increase the playerbase. It is a shame. Looking forward to the single player experience.
