  • 1.00.1 Default Language Fix Patch - 30 September 2021

    We have made English the default language and enabled language selection in the experimental menu in Settings. The quality of localizations is not upto our expected standards yet but is available for testing and feedback in non-english languages. Thanks for playing the game and sharing feedback about your experiences. Loving the feedback we are getting and also clarifying value of next set of things to target for us!

  • Gamedev Beatdown 1.0 Out Now! - 24 September 2021

    It is finally time. We are taking Gamedev Beatdown out of early access and releasing it into the wild. It's been a crazy journey for our small team, improving and updating the game while continuing to survive together. We started with a small idea of expressing the frustrations and joys of being a game developer, which has evolved into a much larger game in a very evolutionary style. The first avatar was a brawler. A fun short experience, but one that didn't work with the rest of the narrative meta and pacing of the game. To a turn-based combat system that flows much smoother and allows for a more relaxed game experience. The game is complete for now, and everything works. We will continue to support the game as long as we keep getting solid feedback from players. To have quit our jobs to go indie and making a game to see if we can; has hardened us and made us far better developers than…

  • 0.95.2 Patch Update - 1 July 2021

    We are back with a small quality of life patch! Changes Animated tile for ability attacks, makes it clear and draws attention to where enemies are going to attack. Lore book snaps to lore entries if there are any unseen entries. Basketball mini-game improvement to controls and dragging in opposite directions. Engine upgrades. Minor bug fixes. Behind the scenes we have been working towards making the combat deeper and more meaningful. We are also evaluating and prototyping what future directions the combat could go in with the narrative being a major part and how it ties into combat with different types of games that you can build over pure turn based combat for everything! We haven't said this enough but we are so glad and thankful for the support we have had in our journey in making and updating Gamedev Beatdown!

  • Patch Update 0.91.4 - 15 April 2020

    Hey everyone, We are back with an update that addresses some experiential improvements and a couple of bugs. I was pleasantly surprised by how many people were playing the game with languages other than English, considering the support for other languages is for testing only. If you can get past the broken translations, though, it made for some fun moments where players would try to figure out some of the references and jokes that didn't translate well. Changelog v0.91.4 You can rage at the opponents now instead of the game. Fixed the rage ability not dealing damage. Changed audio for event vocalization, it is much more pleasing to the ears, unlike the earlier squeaky version that got annoying on higher volumes. Fixed missing localizations for some languages, since people are playing the game in other languages might as well have all text available. Fixed the rain getting into everyone'…

  • Patch Update 0.91.3 - 10 April 2020

    Thank you for purchasing Gamedev Beatdown and supporting us small-time indies, We hope for full participation by our community, and in turn, we will do everything possible to make sure our players have an enjoyable experience in the game. One way we can do that is to respond to issues that players have reported with the utmost speed. Therefore, we are already here with a patch to fix some quality of life issues and one crucial bug with display resolutions. Changelog v0.91.3 Fixed Display Resolutions being moody, it will properly detect default resolution and set the resolution to what you ask it to. Fixed flickering of happiness tooltip and clipping of some others at the edge of the screen. Mob quips on special abilities expand uniformly instead of in a single direction to avoid clipping out of the screen when mobs are at the edge. If you want to get in touch and want faster response ti…
