Hey!

It’s been a while since I updated this page or the project build.

The truth is, I’ve been away because… we decided to take this project into full production, and actually launch the game on Steam!

But wait, who’s “we”?

After tons of playtesting, gathering feedback, and seeing what people really wanted from the game, I went back to the drawing board. I redesigned a lot of things and, after a few iterations and showing the concept to more people, I realized something important:
I couldn’t make this game alone.

There’s just too much content to produce for one person, especially when I already work full-time as a Game Designer. Between coding in my spare time and, you know… trying to have a life, it became clear I needed help.

So, I reached out to some friends and also hired a few folks to help make this dream real. I’ll introduce the full team in another post soon.

What’s going to happen with this itch.io page?

I’ll be doing one final update here to improve the visuals and make it a nicer space for anyone curious about the project. It’ll be a kind of landing page while we prepare to launch the Steam page and official website for the game.

Will the prototype still be updated?

Honestly… I’m not sure yet.
The next playable version of GLAD will most likely be the Steam demo, so don’t expect any more updates to the prototype build.

What’s the timeline for the Demo and Launch?

I’m aiming to have most of the core game finished by July 2025.
After that, we’ll jump into polishing, and that’s the part where the timeline gets fuzzy.
But if all goes well, we should have a proper demo by the end of 2025, and hopefully launch the full game in 2026.

What’s the game about, other than fighting?

Ahhh, for that… you’ll have to follow @playGLAD on X.
We’ll be posting dev updates and sharing more about what makes this game more than just brawls.

To everyone who downloaded and played the prototype 
THANK YOU! 😄
It means the world. The prototype will stay up here forever, so you can keep playing with friends.
And who knows... I might even make it playable in the browser soon, so it’s easier for more people to try it out.
