The Comeback King
A downloadable game for Windows

Just in case anyone following this thought I'd died (or even worse, abandoned the project!), I thought I'd jot down a few words about the current state of the game.

In terms of gameplay/features, I consider it complete. On top of the original 1987 game I've added:

  • Sponges
  • Towels
  • Tonics
  • Coaching
  • Shop
  • Estate Agent
  • Full ranking system
  • More complex injury system
  • Fights between other boxers
  • Entrance Music
  • Choose your boxer's appearance
  • More complexity in boxer movement
  • Popularity ratings

And so much more...

So I think that's enough for now. I do have plans for an expansion in the future (the 'Underworld' expansion) but that very much depends on how the first release goes.

Now I'm waiting for new boxer animations and screen designs from my artist (Ozan D) so can't really share useful screenshots at this point. Soon though, soon.
