GloveUp! Early Access Release

Hello everyone!

I'm excited to be releasing GloveUp! in Early Access.

The support from the community has been outstanding and inspiring. I promise to work hard in delivering the most fun boxing game there is.

I am a solo dev, and this game is quite rich in features, so I do not have the manpower to test every detail in the game - that's why I need you!

This is a community-input driven game. I know you all have a lot of good ideas and I will do my best to implement features that are appropriate for the game, but it will take time.

Please measure your expectations as suggestions from the community have to be heavily analyzed and weighed. Not all suggestions will make it into the game but I do value all feedback.

Any immediate bugs or gameplay issues - let me know and I will have them fixed!

Changes since demo:

1. The current level cap is 10. I will be increasing this over time as I come out with more content.
2. Updated skill tree and skills.
3. Added a tutorial, practice mode, training mode
4. Added match history, rematch button
5. Crash reports has been added - If you crash, you can send a report directly to me and I will look into it.

Some important notes:

1. You can still send bug reports via the "Report bug" button in-game.
2. I know there are performance issues with some systems. I will be looking into more optimization.
3. SteamDeck - Officially not working yet, but theres a workaround until I figure out what's going on: right-click the game → Properties → Compatibility → tick "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" → choose Proton Experimental.

Here is what you can expect over the next month:

1. Updates every few days (balance, bug fixes, UI improvement, etc)
2. Lots of changes and updates to the game - New maps, items, abilities, AI behaviors, bosses
3. Unique challenge bosses with their own abilities and behavior.
4. Leagues - Pit all your fighters against a rival league in a pokemon-gym style gamemode.
5. Even more abilities and skill trees
6. Alternate stances, weaves, pushes, clinches
7. Roadmap

I will now sleep, thank you all for your continued support and I hope you all have fun!
