You're shaping what comes next for Hoop Dynasty

Hoop Dynasty is a single-player PC basketball career-management game. You create an athlete and guide a career through choices, development and matches. Conversations with players in the limited Steam Playtest have focused the next stage of development on three connected systems.

Shape the player you want to become

A deeper Player Build is in development. Distribute a limited number of points across basketball skills, see how they affect overall rating and choose a path with real trade-offs. Physical qualities such as speed, acceleration, strength and elevation are also under investigation.

Real game capture: point allocation in the Player Build under development. This system is not yet in the public Playtest; interface and balance may change.

Feel the rhythm of a game

The proposed Hot/Cold system would let form rise or fall through what happens in a match, while remaining readable in the Match Center. A player could recover within the same game. It is intended to reflect the basketball simulation, not reward a button press.

Make the read when the ball is yours

We are designing occasional choices during possessions your player is involved in: shoot, find a teammate or attack a gap. A choice would influence an unresolved possession; the normal simulation would still decide the result.

Current availability

All three systems are in development, not available in the current public Playtest. The Player Build video is real development footage; the other two visuals are approved mockups. The Playtest is active, with access granted in waves. The separate 1.0.1 hotfix addresses the College journey toward Selection Night.
