The second playtest for HYPERFIGHT 2 will begin on November 28, at 9pm PST! It'll run for a whole week this time!!

There's been a ridiculous amount of improvements since last playtest, so please look forward to it!

Discovery on Steam, especially for fighting games, is kind of in shambles.

I'm gonna do my part and use the tools we do have to break through some of the noise.

We've been making rapid progress in the implementation of character #9. They probably won't be announced or released publicly for awhile, but I plan for Patrons (all paid tiers) to get a playable preview next month. Why not support us?

Originally Mega Knockdown was meant to be played on a split keyboard, and the current keyboard layout is an artifact of that--the default player 1 controls are all on the left hand.

I'm thinking of making an adjustment to the default keyboard layout. Which option works best?

These were technically placeholder assets, although before the 2022 Niche Fighter Fete fundraiser I didn't expect I'd be able to actually find an artist for bespoke character sprites.

They're.. somewhat "load-bearing" as most of the "real" animations share the same animation events with the jermas

Hi #PitchYaGame,

Mega Knockdown is a hand drawn 2D fighter where the action only moves when you do. Jump into the real challenge at the heart of fighting games: outsmarting your friends and predicting their next move!

Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/app/1492750/...

Todays video is LIVE & its time for a big love-in.
Complain about balance/characters/the usual, not this time. Fighting games are just in a good place right now & will remain so for a good time to come. Lets talk about it.
