Volo Airsport

UPDATE: More than two years since I bought the game, it has literally added nothing new in terms of content (it literally has minimal to no content at all even now). The developers seem to spend all their time and effort in making v-logs that they promise stuff that they never actually do. And to further prove my point, here is what the... developer said a year ago and I quote (and then guess what they actually did of the promised things below... that's right, nothing. No multiplayer, no replacing of the fake stick-man): "Frank Versnel [developer] 20 Apr, 2016 @ 2:57pm Hi there, I understand your concern with the lack of updates and we apologize for it. It's been a rough few months in which we had to deal with many technical issues. Nevertheless I would like to let you know that we did not abandon this project. A new update is forthcoming this week after which we will continue our work on multiplayer and finding a 3D modeller that will help us replace the character. Best regards, Frank" ORIGINAL REVIEW: Taken from the game's early access description: "“We have a rough idea on where we want to go with the game, but what the final game will look like, we simply don't know yet!". This is one more case of what I like to call "Early access trap". You pay 13 euros for a game that promises that one day some content might be included in the game, but 1,5 years after I first bought it they barely have introduced anything to the game. Stay away from it. P.S.: Wtf is wrong with people these days? I see positive reviews for a game they barely update, while I see negative reviews on games that update every 3-4 months claiming "the updates take too long". IN THIS GAME THERE ISN'T ANY SERIOUS UPDATE.

Welcome to your playground in the sky. Volo Airsport is an extreme sports simulator/action game developed by Ramjet Anvil that is currently available through Steam Early Access. In Volo Airsport you take to the skies as a humble stick man sporting a wing-suit, whether you wish to go proximity flying right up against a ravine or wish to fly high above the world and take in the beautiful views you're gonna have fun with Volo. Despite being available to buy through Early Access for a few months now and being available even before that (DRM-Free) there's not a lot to do right now though from their website it's clear to see that Ramjet Anvil are working on some cool things which will only make the game better. +Good graphics combined with a fair bit of graphical customisation +A unique idea of flying around in wing-suits, obviously this has appeared in some games before but there's never been a full game based around it +Great flight physics which feel realistic +If you so wish you are able to have a predicted trajectory displayed on screen as well as aerodynamic forces (independent of each other) as well as the usual stuff like airspeed indicators and altitude displays +Four different camera angles +Very relaxing to play +The map currently available is quite large but it's smaller than it looks due to there being extremely strong winds which stop you flying that way +VR Support. Now this is something I usually wouldn't care about as I don't really like VR but Volo has actually made me want to get an Oculus just for the first person camera mode flying right up against the ravines +Challenging time trial events +Has a built in time trial course editor for you to make your own courses which can then be shared with other people +Good controls (360 controller, unsure about Keyboard) which include some cool moves for your character, such as curling up into a ball +The HUD can be disabled, allowing you to take some great screenshots of the game world +Great soundtrack which adds to the relaxing feel of the game +Friendly dev(s) -Currently only one map -As mentioned there's not too much to do right now -Shadows are a tad glitchy in first person -It's been a while since there was an update on progress or an actual, downloadable update for the game but it is a very small team with limited resources so it's to be expected Here's a short gameplay clip I recorded: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=442135141 Verdict: 8 Volo Airsport, while lacking in content, is a fun and relaxing wing-suit game with good graphics, great physics and an interesting concept. If you're an Oculus owner or just someone who enjoys taking a relaxing flight through the skies in a game then this is not one to pass up on. ***This review was written using a key provided by the Developer of review purposes*** El K.

***Review Update: 4th June 2017 *** ...and now they have officially QUIT...... totally LAME ***Review Update: 14th May 2016 *** TL:DR Neutral Rating, as of the release 3.6 - Their video shows you all you need know about Volo! This is the first update I've ever experienced since buying this Early Access piece (Nov '15), so stick with me... Firstly, as of this point, 20 out of 21 people found this review helpful. Worth keeping in mind as it is rated as *Negative*. I've kept my original review below as it is worth reading through the chain of comments that sparked off, due to my unhappiness, and the responses involved thereafter (10th Apr - 10th May). To my surprise, the developers were not, as suspected by me, camped out in a bar, but are indeed still working on this project, perhaps with renewed vigour. Who knows? So, reviewing this again since I've had time to re-play and re-test. It's definately more stable. Actually, a lot more. I regulary had to 'force quit' the previous version as it hung during loading about 50% of the time. This one for me, had never failed to start since it came in and I've been in and out of it maybe 20 times so far. As for the content change itself, I was hoping for something more significant than a few shacks and hated wind turbines dotted around as eye candy. However, we are still promised parachutes and multiplayer. No mention of more map choices as yet, but I'll be keeping an eye out for update news snippets for future possibilities of worthiness. The sound output has also changed from being active, to passive. I can't tell anymore just how close I was skimming past surfaces. Something I loved. Instead, now it sounds like a flag fluttering at 15mph no matter how close I get to a virtual surface. Oh, and there's dynamic grass now! A nice touch for when you do eventually hit the deck at high speed, but "Mehh" Why have I rated this as Neutral? Purely for the following reason. I would recommend this, but for the lack of proof. Proof of commitment and fervour. One released update in 6 months dosen't do them justice. My ultimate recommendation then, is to watch and wait. Stick it on your wishlist, or follow it. See for youself if it's worth bothering with in a few months time, or set your own timescale as I can't even guestimate what will happen next with this project. Perhaps take a chance and buy it if you've got the cash to spare. To help them out and all that...... ****Original Review Below**** Early Access.. Pahh.. ...Should read "Early Abandonment" Don't bother with this. After 6 months of complete silence from the (dare I use the word) devs, my feeling is that you'll just end up feeling robbed while they pocket your cash. ...Unless some crazy update happens, this review will remain to help guide people away from this as an investment of faith. 6 months ago, I had faith they would pull through and took a chance as there are just 2 people working on this. As of today, I have every faith that they've abandoned this project and set up camp at a bar. I can barely manage 5 mins a day in it's current state as it just gets boring after a while

DEAR DEVELOPERS, I'm so sorry to learn that you have now permanently discontinued the development of this game. I'm also surprised that you are continuing to sell this game on Steam without any clear indication or notice to your prospective customers that this game will never be completed! What are the possibilities that the developers (past tense now) will, at the very least, release modding code to the community. That way, at least those of us who invested our money and our hopes in you and this game, will be able to get something closer to a finished / complete product. i.e. allow the community to produce... • Character Skins (devs should have at least updated the skin a long time ago). • Terrain Maps (devs should have at least added to the one game map a long time ago). • Adjustable Map Vertical Scaling • Abilty to add in-game Targets and Obstacles • and everything else we'd love to see added to the game! In general, allow the modding community to do what it does best - enrich and improve upon (well, sometimes!) what is already in any base game. I hope you do respond to this and give those of us who invested in you and your game some final hope and good news. Thank you for creating a great product... albeit, now destined never to be completed by its developers. [ Final point: When the game was still being developed, I would have gladly recommended it as it had so much potential. But, now that the game is destined never to be completed, Steam only gives me one other review option - 'Not Recommended'. ]

Game is unplayable on the Vive. Tried both with a 980 gtx and 1080 gtx with same results, frame loss all over the place. The devs have been aware of the issue since May and no fix in sight and no further response on the issue. Stay well clear of this if you have a Vive

明明游戏开发已经停止,却依旧在抢鲜体验~?真骚操作~ 滑翔衣和滑翔伞模拟游戏~真的灰常模拟~反正最后都要自己摔死~:D 滑翔衣比滑翔伞的风险还大~但是速度超快~看着超爽有木有~ ->然后栽到地上永别天空~噗~ ->还好是个游戏~你能无限次die~ 预告片已经把游戏内容介绍得好清楚了~ ~除了预告片~游戏基本没有其他新内容~

We need a proximity flying game, glad to finally see this hit Steam. Simple, beautiful, challenging. If you are a fan of skydiving or proximity flying this is the game for you, its almost like you can feel and hear the power and force of the air gusts shoving you around. Nothing beats ripping down a cliffside at 135mph and just one little mistake can be fatal. The game's physics and mechanics are amazing, the controls are well done and playing with a controller is key. You actually fly through simulated air pockets, lifts, and gusts while cruising at speeds of 100 to 160 + mph just feet above the ground...well that is the way I like to fly anyways. The beauty of this game is the map is open, drop in from one of the various spawns some simulating base jumps others simulating jumping out of a helicopter. Really well done little game how it stands right now, something new finally. Its early access, meaning not much content small in size around 150mb. Do not let that discourage you from buying this game, Volo Airsport has a lot of potential here. Can't wait to see whats in store for the future. A few things I hope to see in the future: Replays Different outfits, "wingsuits" Custom spawn points Create your own custom runs placing rings where you want them New maps Ability to parachute at the end Multiplayer "usually not a fan a MP games, but this one would be fun with other players" Map Editor

[b] *Key given by developer for reviewing purposes* [/b] Volo Airsport is a gliding game where you glide around areas, and try to complete courses. For now there isn't a ton of stuff to do in the game but don't worry the game is still really entertaining. I do feel like the developers will grow this game into a much bigger game and make it even more fun than it is now. [b] Positives: [/b] +Creative. +Pretty original. +Pretty graphics. +Easy to learn. +VR support. +Fun. +Lots of graphical options. +Speed counter and a few other things. +Relaxing. +Course editor. +You can play other people's courses. +Wind. +Good physics. [b] Negatives: [/b] -Not a whole lot of stuff to do. -Some graphical glitches here and there. -Only 1 map. [b] Added Notes: [/b] This game for now like I said does not have a ton of stuff to offer but if you are looking for a relaxing flying game then this is a game I recommend. I will also probably updates this review once the game has fully released. Overall I rate this game a [b] 7.5/10 [/b] pick this game up if you want to glide the skies and just relax for a few hours.

it is pretty impressive to play it with the oculus dk2. hopefully there will be enough people who like this kind of game, to make sure you keep working at it and improving it. i would love to see the game in a final version. best wishes for your success. maybe a little bit expensive for the beginning ;) but if you really add the planned improvements, it will get worth every cent twice (probably a total grammar fail :D sorry for my bad english :) 100% recommending this as an early access game

Serious fun, Grab an Xbox360 controller, some chill beats,this and relax and chill for hours. Awesome learning curve that makes for some really satisfying moments soaring close to mountain peaks and reaching breakneck speeds. Devs are great too, staying active on the forums and giving sweet support. Pick up this game, you won't regret it, I promise!
