feedback would be great so i can make this the best hockey game that i possibly can.
I dont plan on releasing another hockeygame in my life...so this is it :)

Might have to check this out in a few days.

im just learning how to use pixel shaders so you may just see one in use on the next update if it looks better :)

Im going to try using a type of cartoon vertex/pixel shader so this will also involve redrawing the hockey players to not be so square looking.

looks like i have some sort of toon mapping working but its going to need some adjustments.

here is a screen shot of the new hockey players so far.... i will be doing more work on them and i will see if i can make the toon mapping look beter!

also i need some input about there freakishly large heads... should i make them smaller?

from a top down perspective the big heads look good....but not so good up close.
also if the square characters are prefered i can always put them in the game too as an option when picking teams.

here is the overhead view...

I kinda like the square ones :)

I just came up with an idea... I will be adding several teams and they will all look different.
The square guys are a team and will stay in the game.
I will also add in some aliens and robots from massconflict and continue to draw more teams.
I will also have it so you can choose the teams color.
I should have at least 4 teams loaded in for an ouya update for next week :P

as far as the toon shading goes i just may scrap it.

toon shading is here to stay... looks like it works a tad better now. I will be submitting 0.13 alpha monday morning and will be hopefully ready for ~wednesday on the ouya.

any major glitches please let me know and i will try to iron them out before submitting the update.

changes include:
-3 new teams
-ai tweeks

and i will continue adding more and then more game modes...etc

I played it this evening - it's looking good. I don't think I had a glitch. I'm excited to see where this goes!

i only got around to coding 2 more teams in. I was hoping to have more done for this week but i have run out of time.

Will be submitted tomorow with the following changes.

-added 2 teams
-teamselect now allows you to choose a team and change the teams color
-toon shading has been coded...but im still tweeking.

working on next:
-team profiling (each team will have a special ability that the others do not have)
-more teams
-menu work
-etc... etc...
plenty of work to do still!

here is a current screenshot...

the next update for ouya should be about friday ( sept 25th )

Additions:
-new fox team
-minor glitch fixes


After this i will be mainly focused on bringing a total of 8 teams to the ice, goalie control, then i will work on the menus and game modes including a cup run.
