    Developing a Home Run Derby Game - Need Testers

    I've been developing a Home Run Derby game for years in my free time. It's got to the point where I need help testing all the systems.

    This game is not a cheap home run derby game. It's extremely realistic. That's what I wanted.

    It's developed in WebGL via Javascript (ThreeJS/PhysiJS). There's tons of features like real scaled metrics; exit velocity, launch angle, hang time, etc. They're all realistically scaled to the actual world; nothing is arbitrary.

    There's too much to even mention in a post honestly, but if anyone is interested in helping me test this, let me know. I'd appreciate it greatly and I think you'd have fun testing it. You don't have to do anything specifically other than play the game. It's up to you if you wanna make a profile and see how all that works.

    It's fully functional as it is, but I just can't handle all the duties by myself anymore. I model the stadium in Blender, program all the logic and shaders, test it, code the backend, etc. It's just become too much for one person anymore.

    Thanks for reading!

    Shoot me a PM and let me know what you would like for me to do and the process of doing it. I will be more than happy to test your Home Run Derby game if I am able to.

        I wanted to add that this game is designed for desktop only at this point and Chrome is the preferred browser, but it does seem to work fine in Firefox and Edge.

            Anyone create a utility that enables you to play a Home Run Derby game to go along with the All Star Game? If not, does anyone know what would be the best way to run a Home Run Derby?

            Maybe with a PS2 game or another computer game... any ideas?

              I've made big improvements to the contact system in the past week. It's improved and yields even more realistic results than before.

              Everything is continuously worked on.

                    It was developed with Chrome as the test browser, but I know Microsoft Edge runs it well too.

                        Platforms like Reddit, gaming forums, or Discord communities often have sections where you can recruit testers. Be transparent about what you're looking for and offer them a chance to be early players.

                            Great to hear about the significant improvements to the contact system in the past week! The commitment to continuous refinement and the pursuit of even more realistic results is commendable. Keep up the excellent work, and it's exciting to see ongoing enhancements on a mobile device.

                              I appreciate that. It's comin along. I added a couple new custom shaders for the landscape and field dirt lately.

                              Whoever reads this, check it out. It's pretty realistic for just one person workin on it.
