Unfortunately this is a false positive with the shortcut .exe used to launch the game. There is no actual virus. You can safely either ignore it, add it to your trusted list, or delete it and use VolleyShot.exe in the WindowsNoEditor folder. Sorry for the inconvenience. This will be replaced in the next update.

No worries, friend. What's your actual e-mail address? (Don't post it here, shoot it to me directly)

Thanks for playing, and thanks for the great write-up! I'm working hard to get the word out, and assuming my power comes back, this week is my big push to Let's Players and Streamers. Oh, and a teeny correction: the current version does have local multiplayer. Thanks again! 

Actually of the few times I posted on 4chan, feedback was unusually positive. So I consider myself fortunate for that. Thanks for checking out the game! 

Sorry the game is giving you some trouble. I recommend trying to keep your aim just ahead of the ball. Waiting for the ball to come to the cross hair is an okay strategy, but only works when you don't lose sight of the ball. Also remember that the orange shot has a very limited range. You can also play in the practice mode and lower the game speed to get a better feel for aiming. 

In general, if you can play games like Quake or Counter-Strike, adjusting to VolleyShot shouldn't be too difficult, even if you're using a controller. Thanks for playing, and keep practicing! 

Oh interesting! I did a lot of googling for things that might be similar, but didn't come across that. I'll have to see if I can find it and check it out. 

Unfortunately I can't try to replicate this issue, as we've lost power in my area and I can't access my PC. In the meantime, you can try to manually install them using the steps in this article: http://help.epicgames.com/customer/portal/articles/2289966-prerequisites-have-fa...

Sorry for the inconvenience!

If you mean the Bedroom court,  I can't take credit for any of the CS ones... but I did make a bunch of those for Unreal Tournament, TF2, and Left 4 Dead.  :)

Bedrooms 3: Bite Size Remix for Left 4 Dead 2

CTF-Bedrooms][Remix for UT2K3

Outstanding! Thanks for that, and thanks for the awesome platform you have here.

Thank you for the additional information. After doing some research, this appears to be a false positive for the program used to generate that shortcut executable. It is harmless, but it isn't needed for the game so I will remove it in the next update anyway. If it makes you more comfortable,  you can delete it and run the game directly with the VolleyShot.exe in the WindowsNoEditor folder, like you mentioned. Thanks for helping to solve that, but I still don't know how to explain your drop in FPS. Is that still occurring?

As a follow up, apparently it is not uncommon for AV software to pick up Unreal Engine 4 games as a false positive. But this doesn't explain your frame drop, so I still recommend a system scan with something like Avast.

I do not know why Windows is flagging the game as a virus for you. This is something I take very seriously. I have scanned all demo files, as well as my development files, and have not found any virus.  I even re-downloaded the game from itch and scanned that - nothing. This leads me to believe that there may be something else on your system that is infecting VolleyShot.

I highly recommend downloading a trusted third party virus protection suite and performing a full scan of your system. Let me know if this helps!

Hey thanks for the feedback! Glad you had fun with it, and I enjoyed the LP.  And hey, there's no shame in playing on Light. ;)

Hi everyone! Still getting a feel for itch, but what a great platform.

A public demo is now available for my game VolleyShot. Simply put, VolleyShot is a mash up of volley ball and an arena shooter. There is more info about how the game is played on its page. The game is still pre-alpha, but I'm proud of what I have so far, and I hope you have fun with it. Check out the trailer, grab the demo, and let me know what you think! Thanks!
