What's new?
Difficulty levels
This update introduces difficulty levels for each opponent. While these levels won’t alter an opponent’s fighting style or basic attributes, they will boost their stamina, health, punch power making them tougher to beat.
Chin Level
This update introduces the first of many game modes we plan to add in the future. With the “Iron Chin” mode, you can fight opponents without knockdowns or knockouts, taking the bout all the way to the scorecards.
AI body punches and open spots
Opponents can now target the player’s head or body, making it harder to rely on just a high guard. Additionally, the AI will exploit open spots, targeting the body more when exposed. This update adds a new layer of challenge and realism to the game.
Dynamic blocking
Dynamic blocking allows the AI to defend more effectively by positioning its guard precisely where it anticipates a punch will land, just like in real life. Compared to the previous version, this makes the AI particularly strong against hooks.
Punching bag
Punching bags are now interactive, letting you test your punching power. In the future, we plan to add mini-games based on them.
Polishing and bug fixes
Polishing and bug fixing are the main focus of this update.
– Improved punch detection: the game now registers punches more accurately.
– Reduced animation micro-Stuttering: what some may have experienced as lower FPS is now minimized.
– Reworked punch power: we’ve revamped punch power for realistic accuracy, assigning different mass credits to straight punches and hooks.
– New sounds: punch and blocking sounds are now more realistic, enhancing the overall experience.
Overall, the game feels much smoother.
Approved and verified by our amazing community of beta testers on Discord.
