| Playtest is LIVE | 2021-06-15 | We are finally at a point where we would like to test the game and get valuable feedback to act upon and we are so happy that you would like to help us out. Please consider that the game is in beta, there will of course be bugs both small and large but we hope to catch as many of them as possible during this test. There are, at the moment of writing, 220 out of the limited 300 test seats taken so first come first served. All features that we have planned for the initial release are more or less in. The main thing except fixing bugs that we have on our to-do is to finalize all the games UI, there’s a lot of it, and also to do a polish pass on |
| Steam Playtest - Coming soon | 2021-06-03 | With most of the features in place we now need to start testing things out and move onto the polishing phase of the production. We’ve gotten the Steam Playtest approved but we haven't set the test live yet. Hopefully this will happen sometime next week and if you are interested in helping out you can request access from the main store page and you will get notified when the test is available. Ideally we would like to have 50 to 100 people testing the game so please help us out and share the news. Testers don’t need to pre own the game as the Playtest is treated as a separate game by Steam. Please bare in mind that the current state of the gam |
| Taekwondo Grand Prix Development News | 2021-04-09 | Character customization Welcome back to another post about the development of the Taekwondo Grand Prix. This time around we will focus on a feature that has been at the top of requested features by both players and ourselves. The ability to customize the look of your fighter beyond the ready-made roster used in the previous version of the game. At launch, there will be four archetypes of people to choose from, both female and male. You will be able to adjust skin tone, eye colour, hairstyle. The style of the protective gear can be customized by skins and the same goes for the Dobok. Skins will be unlocked by playing the game or winning tourna |
| At last some news of Taekwondo Grand Prix | 2021-03-05 | What’s up with the Taekwondo Grand Prix? The fall of 2020 we released a beta patch for the game. This was mainly a fix to get the multiplayer functionality back on its feet and to benchmark our new hosting provider. In order to test this we invited a couple of hundred players in hope that there would be some valuable feedback based on their experience. The result we got back was somewhat expected but at the same time disheartening. The overall experience was that the game lagged making it hard to throw kicks and anticipate moves by the opponent. Aside from that there were also some really nice ideas suggested that might become future gameplay |

We did something about that. About time, huh. SCORE BALANCING & RESULT SCREEN MMR First. The reward for winning a match and the penalty for losing one wasn’t quite balanced in the way we wanted it to be. So we rebalanced it, slightly. Second. Winning or losing - your reward or penalty in the score is now more visible and readable. Check it out in your result screen next time you |

All kinds of kicks for you here. High kicks. Low kicks. TURNING kicks! Most importantly, we’ve got some brand new kicks for you. 7 of them, actually. K |

ENDLESS MODE ACTUALLY GETS HARDER NOW Sorry if you thought you were THAT awesome or that the game was just STUPID simple. Now, the “Endless AI” mode should work as intended. Up for the challenge?
