Choked on my coffee a little bit watching the intro to the latest @rooflemongerreal.bsky.social video. Mega Knockdown mentioned?!

We are going to take a little more time to finish up our planned content for launch. Keep an eye out for our full release in Summer of 2026.

(FWIW, the current state of the game has far surpassed my goals for Early Access back in 2022.)

Trying some outreach to streamers using a new alternative to Keymailer (which is kind of useless these days). I'll let you know how it goes.

If YOU'RE a streamer or creator and wanna try out the game, cut out the middleman and shoot me a dm! I have plenty of review keys. #fgc #indiegames #fgcsky 💪🕹️

And then we began the long process of making, implementing and revising character sprites. This led to a little bit of an awkward adolescent period where the game had rough, unfinished sprites for awhile. The end result was worth it though!

Over the next few weeks Alan started rapidly revising the character designs in his own style..

It wasn't a ton of money, but it was a start. Around the same time artist @alanmcmillian.bsky.social was looking for a developer to collaborate with, and I liked his art style a lot. Talking to him, I was immediately impressed by his enthusiasm and work ethic.

Three years ago Mega Knockdown was in early access with placeholder art and no plans (or money) to add proper character sprites. Then @mrmkl.bsky.social , @flynnjeux.bsky.social and @thatpunk.bsky.social organized an event called the "Niche Fighter Fete" to raise some money for new art..

So maybe it's not a big surprise that fans of a "turn taking" game like VF might like a turn based fighter with similar RPS situations. If you're good at VF, you might also be good at this game.
October 6, 2025 at 2:21 PM
It's a bit of an oversimplification, but VF has a lot of strong "rock paper scissors" situations: attacks are throw immune, blocking ends the attacker's "turn", and throws will catch a blocking player. This "three structure" exists in all fighting games, but it's especially clear in VF.

In today's update... we gave Billy a suplex! Need I say more?

Mega Knockdown is 20% off this week on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1492750/...

Hey, we did it!

Does anyone have any recommendations for content creators (any size) in the FGC who would be interested in checking out an interesting indie fighting game? I have some review keys to give out.

Tag them here and I can reach out! Or if you do videos/streams/articles about fighting games, DM me!
September 16, 2025 at 6:48 PM
hmm pretty close
