- Local & Online Mode Changes - 21 August 2023
Although we are still working on a new map and other changes, this month's update is a bit smaller. Local Mode Update We have been focusing more on the Local Multiplayer mode lately. From now on, each player can now customize their alien when playing in Local Multiplayer! In Local Mode, you don't have to spend coins to unlock customization options, so feel free to pick your favorite skin and brawl with your friends. Online Mode Update Most people have been playing in Local mode rather Online. Sadly, this means that we cannot keep up with the cost of running servers for the game, so we are now switching our Online mode to Peer to Peer. You can still play online, but if the host leaves, it will close the server. Another option if you want to play with friends is via the Remote Play Together function on Steam. What Next? Keep your eyes peeled for our next update, we are looking forward to…
- Local Multiplayer, New Map and More! - 29 June 2023
This is our biggest update since Bare Butt Boxing first launched in Early Access! Let's have a look at what you can expect in this patch. Local Multiplayer Up to 4 players can now play locally on the same machine. This is our first iteration of this mode, and doesn't have all the features we want yet, but it will allow you to challenge your friends and look them in the eye as you punch them across the arena. Here are some features we plan to add to Local Multiplayer as future updates : - Character selection, and the ability to use customization options - Customizable rules (bots on/off, items on/off, match duration, level select) New Map : Space Bedroom Introducing our brand new map! A sleepover is getting violent in the alien's bedroom. Players will always respawn on the second floor, giving you a chance to jump down and surprise the players fighting below. Random Map Rotation With thi…

We are working hard to address your biggest concerns while also working on more content. As always, you can reach us on our Steam forum and on our Discord page, so feel free to share what you want us to work on next. Bots https://images.ctfassets.net/wg3do82efyh9/7DyFL84qAOdVjywFTDvw48/6a52ed62f23258ea4775521ffa650fb3/BareButtBoxing_UmXGwbXU0s.gif Empty lobbies are always something online games want to avoid. We have multiple ideas to bring more people and more life to our game! But in the meantime, we wanted to add something so that joining an empty lobby will be less boring. Introducing : BOTS These AIs will populate servers with low player counts, so that you can at least practice your moves while waiting for more players. Scoring them will earn players 1 poi…
- Server Performance Update - 4 May 2023

- DEV LOG 03 - ACTIVE RAGDOLL - 9 November 2022
Bare Butt Boxing uses procedural animation to bring its characters to life. You have probably heard of the term "ragdoll" before, one of the most common use of procedural animation. It's a satisfying physical reaction that usually occurs when a character dies or gets knocked out. The character will switch from a normal "animated state" to a ragdoll state and fall down in a physical way, based on the position of their limbs and the force of the impact. Bare Butt Boxing uses a different kind of procedural animation called "active ragdoll". This technique uses the same principle but keeps the character in this ragdoll state permanently, not just during death. Various forces and constraints are then used to keep the ragdoll upright and animated while still reacting to all physical forces. Early active ragdoll prototype. Constructing the Ragdoll The ragdoll is constructed from primitive obje…
- DEV LOG 02 - LEVEL CREATION PROCESS - 1 November 2022
The different levels are a key factor for Bare Butt Boxing's gameplay to work. As such, we spend a lot of time and effort to make our maps as engaging and polished as we can. We want our levels to feel unique from each other, while still fitting within some general criteria. They must have roughly the same size, which we feel is optimal for games with 4 to 6 players. We usually want different layers of heights to create interesting gameplay situations, a few areas where players can fall off the map, etc. Layout & Playtesting Making Bare Butt Boxing levels is time consuming, so we must ensure each level we create will be worth the effort we put into it. This is why we segment the level creation process into individual parts. Everything starts with a crude layout of what the level will look like. At this stage, we figure out the placement of goals, define which areas should be more or les…
- DEV LOG 01 - PAX WEST - 24 October 2022
In September our team traveled to Seattle to present Bare Butt Boxing at PAX WEST 2022! It was the first time we've attended a game industry event as a team and it was an unforgetable experience! We loved meeting and playing the game with so many of you and returned home equipped with lots of new action items that will help us make the game even better. Local Multiplayer At PAX, we were showcasing the Local Multiplayer mode where players compete to punch each other into goals on the same screen, couch multiplayer style! Local multiplayer feels a bit different from the main game mode, which is online with up to 6 players. The biggest difference between the 2 modes is how the camera follows your player. In local multiplayer, the camera is further back and encompasses all of the action so everyone can see their player properly. It's a simple change but it affects the experience quite a bit…
