Hello!

We have been silent for a while, but it’s time to take care of the situation of this game. The game has no developers, and it’s not looking like there is going to be any developers working on it in the future.

We have no servers hosting which make the game not playable, and we can not sell a game that is not playable.

So, we have decided to take down the game.

Hi there!
We have some bad news, we have once again are left without developers, the game was coming along great but now development has stopped altogether. So we recommend that you don't buy this game at this point if you expect updates regularly. We will try to resolve this matter in the coming time, at the moment we don't have a set time or a solution.

We want to apologise to the people who have bought the game and we hope that in the future things will become better. We are currently looking for a dev-team to help out with completing the game.

Once again we apologise for the inconvenience and we hope that in the end, we will have the game we promised released.

Hi there! Time for a big update now. We have now completely reworked the training algorithm to better suit a more modular way of thinking of we want to add more things in the future. The algorithm will also be better in many ways.

You now need a trainer/coach to train a specific disciplin. We hope that you like the changes we have added and hope to get your thoughts and feedback.

• Completely reprogrammed the training algorithm, the training is now buffed to be much more realistic (more tweaking will come in the weeks that follow)
  
• No training before buying a coach for a specific training regime, from now on to keep everything even more realistic, you can't train e.g. boxing if you don't have a boxing coach etc. forcing the player to be more tactical regarding the finances of the gym
  
• Small text fixes
  
• Various performance/bug fixes
  

Hey there! We have added new moves that your fighter can use, we hope that you can try these out and if they work great we will add more in the future along with new coaches that can teach them.

• Added 6 new moves:
  *Dirty Boxing
  *Spinning Back Fist
  *Axe Kick
  *Body Lock (takedown)
  *Suplex (takedown)
  *Rear Naked Choke
  
• Fixed the height on the scrolling info bar
  
• Redesigned the health bars

With that out of the way here is the latest update.

• Submissions now work.
  
• New fighter emails if you have the gym space.
  
• Fight Algorithm update
  
• Equipment details added (Work in progress)
  
• Finish day indicator (Work in progress)

We are making great progress with the algorithm we are close now but we think we need one more week to get it done! It's tedious work but this is a big part of the game.

Here is some other things we got done.

• Fixed multiple moves in the fight algorithm.
  
• Updated play by play lingo
  
• Email expiration now active - if a player's mail is idle for 1 year (in game time) it will automatically be deleted
  
• Inserted links for equipment and staff on home screen
  
• Fixed damages and accuracy for multiple moves
  
• Settings Icon now visible in top bar at all times
  

We have worked some more on the fight algorithm and we are getting close and getting the fighters to act how we want them too. Right now are only getting knockouts but the fighters are taking each other to the ground and scrambling up to their feet but it's not shown in the play by play. That is something we are currently working on at the moment.

Here is the patchlogs for the latest update.

• Modified fight algorithm
  
• Implemented the "Release fighter" button
  
• Added record and Release button in fighter list
  
• Added Hall of Fame screen
  
• Redesigned the home screen
  

We hope to have an update on the fight algorithm for the next update! But here is this weeks update!

• Fighter retirement, if your fighter grows too old, one year before his(hers) retirement you'll get an email which says that your fighter is about to retire
  gaining a new fighter, if you have many players retiring, you will get new fighters after some time.
  
• Stats of previous fights, if you've missed a fight, you can view stats of the fight by clicking on a fight in your fight schedule. (later on we'll implement a full fight preview of the fight)
  
• Improved play by play lingo
  
• Minor text fixes
  

• Removed the fighter age (for now, next update will be fighter retirement)
  
• fixed the win percentages
  
• fixed all of the numbers in fight history (some of them were showing incorrect data)
  
• Fight animation improvements
  
• Updated moves for better performance of the fight algorithm
  
• Play by play lingo updates
  

Hi there!

We are still working on getting the fights to work properly we are slowly but surely getting somewhere but there is still a problem with fighters not getting up after they have ended up on the ground. Also there is still a lot of dodges and misses when fighters try attacks and moves.

• Fighter History is now active (Fighter stats are being counted on sparring and training fights for now as a test and so that the players can view their progress)
  
• improved metrics after fight
  
• improved visuals of the stats

• In-game date shown on every screen.
  
• Play by play first step is bold and font is resized.
  
• Resized promotion logo during the fight.
  
• Minor style fixes.
  

• Rough implementation for rounds
  
• Balanced Fight algorithm a bit
  
• Corrected fighter height and weight for their weight class
  
• Updated play by play lingo
  
• Updated Game plan
  

We have now fixed the fight algorithm and we are getting better results now. Two bugs in the algorithm was creating problems but those are now sorted and we will keep balancing it.

• Minor text changes
  
• Email design polish

After a small vacation we are back with some new updates for the game. We have had huge problems with bugs and troubleshooting to find out why things are not working.

We worked day and night to fix everything and it's finally working.

This update includes.
*End-result Screen
*Fight Schedule
*Tweaks to training algorithm
*Tweaks to fight algorithm
*Minor Performance tweaks

It's been a long time but finally the first version of the logo creator is now live! When you start a new gym you can press pick logo to get to the logo creator.

It's still the first iteration so you might encounter some bugs. Something we have noticed is that it can't handle going to the smallest setting on your logo. So be careful with that!



Have fun creating and have a great weekend.

You can now create a single player manager when you create a new manager.
We have also added a skip day button in single player mode!
