Tonight was a wild mix of hype and hilarity! The best-of-seven showdown was full-throttle, plus a 1v1 challenge from 桃園庫里 TYCR—the whole stream was a nonstop rollercoaster of energy and laughter! Congrats to 星號 for taking the win in their debut! Solid pacing, strong presence—what a standout performance for a rookie! Plenty of fun moments, too: Everyone unanimously insisted “if there’s a girl player, I’m picking her”—but we gotta ask quietly… the male players are pretty cool too, right?

Dear baller, Today, we’re thrilled to share a special milestone with you: Our pre-registration campaign officially surpassed 1 million hype points yesterday! To be honest, we haven’t fully explained this "hype value" before (because we were a little nervous~).

- Dev's letter: As long as you don't give up, the final whistle will never blow! - 8 April 2025
These scenes are all too real for basketball lovers: the sting of a finger jab during a steal, a star player nailing a massive triple-double and capturing everyone's admiration, the explosion of chatter in a fan group when a trade hits the news, and the heated debates over who currently holds the title of the best shooting guard in the league. In "FREE DUNK," we strive to encapsulate these passionate and exhilarating moments in every pixel. Yet, creating this experience is infinitely more complex than mastering a crossover move back in the day. Beyond our passion for the game, we need to sharpen our 'inner skills': the game must be intuitive and smooth, the art style unique with striking character models. The player development system should be rich and varied, enabling you to build your own superstar. A balanced and orderly game ecosystem is crucial to ensure everyone can compete fairl…
