Hey there! Here’s an update on what we’ve been up to.
We’ve been busy developing some of the core products for the final part of 2025.
The player survey was super helpful in helping us make sure we’re on the right track.
Here’s what that means in practical terms:
“Career mode”: I was a bit gutted when I didn’t realise this at the end of last year, but I’m glad I didn’t as I think it’s a much better version now that I’ve made some changes. This is a big deal for me, and I love playtesting it, which is usually a good sign. I’m tempted to just release it in its basic form and see what happens with player feedback.
“Title engine change”: We’ve made this change twice now, but I’ve paused it for a bit because things around the world of boxing are changing rapidly. There’s no network TV anymore, and there might be the end of PPV (I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but expect huge subscription fees and failure). There’s also the Ali Act being “rewritten” or being completely banned. This stuff is changing so fast, so please bear with me while I try to code for these changes.
“Fight engine update”: The MMA game fight engine and how it works have inspired me to make some major changes to the fight engine. I believe these changes will make it much better, more engaging, playable, and realistic.
We’ll make these changes over the course of a few releases, but expect new attributes, more fight strategies, plans, and tactics, and a more engaging UI.
Unity/Multi platform: We’re also planning a completely new user interface for our existing Unity platform and migrating the current BM stack to Unity. This will allow us to release the same game on multiple platforms. I’ll share more about this soon, but the one thing we’re trying not to do is end up like FM. Luckily, we have an existing codebase and a smaller stack of tech to move. We also have a big new BM project for next year that we want to ship using Unity as well as the current game world experience. This is definitely a big goal for us.
There are other smaller things we’re working on from suggestions made in the player survey as well as the usual bugs, fixes and tweaks but I just wanted to share some of the bigger items that we’re actively working on.
Regards
Alex
