    This is really fun. Even managed to find a person to play against. Controls are pretty awesome, I have to say. Although while looking at the puck it's difficult to tell which way you're moving, maybe a small arrow under your feet could show you which way you're facing?

    Also, when hosting a server, pressing F1 kicked the other person.

    Will you set a community play date for this?

    As far as I have experienced it is the player with the highest speed who falls when you run in to each other (tackle). Shouldn't it be the player that is tackled who falls?

    Otherwise, this is a great party-game :D

    @DeKapral Yeah we're still working on the view system, we'll be trying to get some games going next week, probably in the afternoon here (PST)

    @polimerjones thanks!

    @Sam You can lean into the other player by using the right mouse button and looking downward.

    Man this is so amazing. If you guys continued development and maybe added like face-offs and penalties it would be so much better then it already is. I think if you could like trip other players with your stick it would be great although that might get confusing.

    All in all this is a great game and I say keep working on it! This could be the future of all sports games!

    Hey just posting to inquire something. Recently with the new update there has been really bad lag for matches 3v3 and up. I don't know if you know this or not, just a heads up. It is virtually impossible to play 5v5's and 4v4's now. Hope you can find a solution :D

    hi lobstilops, it's braggadocio :3

    anyways, yeah the lag is horrible. which is understandable given that you put this game up so quickly.

    as far as suggestions go, a goalie option would be nice. players are already occasionally setting up makeshift goaltenders themselves

    You can edit the config.txt and increase the servermaxbytespersecond which will help if you have the bandwidth. I'm working on better compression for the next version which will help a lot, but for now that's the only fix.

    We are thinking about adding a goalie also.

  12. polimerjonesJuly 7, 2011 at 8:53 PM

    I know this is probably a dumb question, but I was looking in the config file and saw joystick. Is there a way to use a gamepad (xbox360-pc) with this. that would be awesome and if so can someone explain how to setup?

    It would be nice if in the next version you included way to connect using IP. My friends and I are having trouble connecting using the server browser as the servers we create don't show up.

    I agree with Tim, having a remote IP option would be swell! Gee that sure would make me a happy camper :)

    Some suggestions from myself and other members of Facepunch:

    -Dedicated servers

    -Option for servers to automatically start another match without pressing F1.

    -Option to not allow spectators

    -Option to change period length

    -don't allow sticks to go through player's backs.

    -Replay feature

    -Thinner Goalposts

    -a way to choose your position before the match

    -For custom texture purposes: don't use the same texture for front and back of jerseys, and make the text on the back not have the colored rectangle around it.

    -"call for pass" button

    -fighting (Maybe just during intermissions)

    -ability to block with body (or at least with your skates)

    -show players names above them in spectator mode

    Simple suggestion, when you host a server have a checkbox option to 'Force even teams', so that teams can't have more than +1 on another.

    So games could be:
    1v1
    1v2
    2v2
    2v3
    3v3
    3v4
    4v4
    4v5
    5v5

    MORE UPDATES, WE NEED MORE UPDATES, CUSTIMIZATION, SMOOTHER CONTROL, ITS SUPER HARD TO SCORE

    Wheres the coat of arms? :D

    Also maybe classes? Pick between Scorer (current model) Goalie (Slower but bigger paddle or something) and defender (fast and very stable)

    I don't even know, this game is just amazing, ALSO 10 vs 10, make it happen! I guarantee someone has a server that could handle that many.

    Also, what about a first person basketball game with this style? I think that would be amazing,

    Anyways, there are really no problems with this hockey game other then it's slightly clunky and it's very hard to score which makes the games not very action filled, having the score at 1 - 0 after 10 minutes of play time isn't very fun :(


    Anyways, good work.

    "I don't even know, this game is just amazing, ALSO 10 vs 10, make it happen! I guarantee someone has a server that could handle that many."

    Already possible by setting the number of players in config.

    Once you get used to the controls it isn't too difficult.

    Well, I have a problem, I'm trying to host a server but no matter what I do it won't show up in the server list for others, I have 27585 forwarded and it still doesn't work, my friend confirms that it doesn't show up in the server list and no one ever joins.

    Whats wrong? Do i have to forward some other port or what?

  25. SimmehhJuly 22, 2011 at 2:36 PM

    I really want to play this online.
    Forwarded the 27585 port like I do for other games I play, but getting a forever 'connecting..' message.

    Some help for those of us who can't play would be good :)

    Hi, First of all I'd like to say that Hockey? is fantastic game with good gameplay and alot of fun. I'm playing this since version 0.50 and WE LOVE IT (me nad my friend :D). Some suggestions:
    *Spectator mode - with freelook mode (like in counterstrike) and option to change view on each player from firstperson or thirdperson.
    * Goalies - with full PADS,GLOVE,BLOCKER,STICK control
    *Better models (with animations) - it can be without the animations :D
    *Bigger FOV (Field of View) - so we can see whole stick ;)

    I've recently been having problems with my mouse wheel. No problems with the game, just old hardware. Is there any way I could change the input for tilting the stick?

    We played it on 2v2, then 3v3, then to the point of 5v5. The earlier games are of 300 ping, and the other games are of <100 ping.

    Loving it, but you should include a teabag button+animation in a future update. Apart from that, it is perfect as it is ;D

    I have found memories of sitting with my colleague in 1998 and try to win the snot from him to ice hockey. To be honest, a good part of the NES sports games were not very good. And age is not something like for most Ice Hockey games. I ever played Ice Hockey online.

    Alex, why in the game hockey can not find server friend? We have to play through the program Hamachi.

    This is very interesting. Even trying to find a person to fight. Control is very terrible, I have to say. While watching the ice hockey it is hard to tell which way you go, perhaps in your feet and a small arrow can take you, you face?
    Also, when hosting server, press F1 played each other.

    For everybody in addition, this is just a great online game that stands properly by itself even accomplish items like king in the slope, but that will get 1/1 from your second item, however it is practically inescapable
