Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio.
ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket...
It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it.

You'll get to play version 0.9 of Otto's Basketball Game (yes, that's what I'm calling it...) tomorrow! I'm still adding a few details, but the game is close to being done. And no, there's no more to the game than what you see in the video - it's just about pressing one button and scoring points...

Is anyone else having trouble with drift through the X1 port on the XAC after updating? I tried using a few of our 3.5 mm trrs joysticks (oak, spruce) and finding drift only in X1 port and not X2. There is no microcontroller or board between the joystick and trrs cable on the joysticks I have.
