- The Mayhem Update - 11 February 2021
Excited to share this update, MAYHEM! This update is all about tables, ladders, and cages. It adds two new ways to play in versus and a new solo mode that finally adds hardcore gimmicks into the fray! What's new in 1.1 New Versus Mode: Mayhem New Versus Stadium: Extreme Brawl New Solo Mode: Hardcore Gauntlet The Mayhem mode is a timed match where the stadium rotates between tables, ladders, and a cage every 30 seconds. It's a fun mixup of normal gameplay and is the first mode to add changing environment. Extreme Brawl is the answer to "how many tables and ladders can I fit inside the stadium?". The answer is 7 and a cage. This arena variant is playable in all regular versus modes (except Mayhem) and even includes some hardcore fun outside of the ring cage thanks to some conspicuously placed ladders. Finally, Hardcore Gauntlet is a new solo mode, the first to add hardcore variants. Hardc…

- Combat Update: Signatures & Stuns - 21 September 2020
Here it is, the final update of Early Access! Version v0.20: Patch Notes Here's what's new: Rework of signatures: faster but shorter dash, less heat lost on misses, less heat lost on loser Stuns on environmental moves: throwing from heights, striking from heights, throwing on tables, striking through tables I won't go into too much detail, as I've already done so in the past two updates: Combat Experiment #3 and Combat Experiment #2. The main difference from those updates is that when getting signatured, you will drop to 50% heat if you are above 50% heat. It's much simpler than what I originally outlined. I disabled the updates from Combat Experiment #1 because they didn't feel like they added enough interesting gameplay, and the moves' effectiveness varied too much between characters. While I wanted to add some variety, the moves for each character were too varied in strength and usef…
- Combat Experiment #3: Signature Rework - 27 August 2020
A new combat experiment is available on the "next" beta channel (guide for setup here)! This update (v0.20.0-beta.3) changes and tweaks multiple parts of signatures to improve pacing. I wanted to rethink how signatures work, add some more counter-play, and address some of the following issues: Signatures take a lot of work to gain, but can be "lost" easily by missing Only counter is "avoidance", causing boring gameplay when one player has a signature and the other doesn't No benefit to playing "close" to someone with a signature, makes avoidance the only option Simple to execute but hard to read and counter Heat Management & Cost Since the beginning of Double Turn, signatures always cost all of your heat you've built up when using the signature. This experiment changes this "heat cost" to punish missed signatures less and also allow for more comebacks. Signatures Successful signatures s…
- Combat Experiment #2: Environmental Stuns - 19 August 2020
A new combat experiment is available on the "next" beta channel (guide for setup here)! This update (v0.20.0-beta.2) adds stuns to to various environment interactions in gimmick matches. Tables Throwing a character onto a table will stun them, leaving them vulnerable to subsequent attacks. This should add some fun variety to tables matches, and setup for some devastating blows. In addition, striking downward into a player on a table will stun them after the table breaks, regardless of if they were stunned or not. This makes the table breaking feel much more satisfying, and also adds a lot more risk to playing on the platforms. Ladders & Scaffolds The changes to ladders and scaffolds will work nearly identically to each other, except that ladder effects only work off the top of the ladder. Throwing a wrestler off of the top of a ladder or scaffold onto the ring, turnbuckle, or out of the…
- Combat Experiment #1: Character Specials/Passives - 10 August 2020
Here's the first of a few experiment patches, available on the "next" beta channel (guide for setup here)! As mentioned in the last post, these are experiments I may roll back and will very likely make major changes to even if I do keep them! They are also done with quick-and-dirty effects and art tweaks so there's some lacking animations and VFX while I experiment. This particular update (v0.20.0-beta.1) introduces some new moves and passive abilities, one for each character. The Brawler: Bare Knuckles The Brawler's Bare Knuckles ability allows him to charge a punch. Tap left/right while on the ground at the same time as striking to start a charged strike. The longer you hold the charge, the more heat you'll gain. However, you'll be vulnerable while charging! The High Flyer: Cruiserweight The High Flyer's Cruiserweight ability allows her to double jump. Simply tap the jump button again…
- v0.19.1 Patch, Solo & AI improvements, community hub updates - 23 July 2020
Quick update here! I've released a new patch that includes some minor AI improvements and updates to Solo modes. Additionally, I've added some new guides and a new Bug & Support forum I'd like to highlight. v0.19.1 Patch Notes Decrease AI difficulty Add more variety in AI actions and strategy Add random palette swaps to AI characters Double time between wrestler spawns in Battle Royal solo mode Show controls before every Solo match Hopefully the AI is a little easier to fight, less aggressive and the response times aren't inhumanly fast. Like mentioned in the last update, this won't be the final AI, just some small tweaks to make the AI less difficult but also less repetitive. Battle Royal is still pretty difficult to survive all 20 opponents (it's a marathon of a challenge mode), but it should be much more doable to get further into the fight and even beat. I made no changes to Gauntle…
- Profiles and Palettes - 21 July 2020
At long last, I'm happy to finally say that we have alternate character palettes! Version 0.19 aka "Olympic Slam" brings palette swaps, player profiles, and a whole pile of UI and UX improvements in the menus and controls customizations. Version v0.19: Patch Notes Alternate character palettes Player profiles Keyboard images in menu UI Simplified controller customization menu Various menu UI bugfixes Alternate character palettes Alternative character palettes was something that was requested by many, and I'm glad to finally have it in the game. With a small cast of four characters, I hope having a bit of flair and variety to the alternative palettes will add some fun personality to each match played. Each character has 8 palettes: the standard palette, 3 basic color swaps, 3 entirely new palettes, and a "Ruin Crew" palette. For those curious, Ruin Crew is an old story idea I dug up from…
- Core Combat update and Scramble mode - 22 June 2020
Really excited about this new update that includes some core combat rebalancing, QOL improvements, and a new Versus mode called Scramble! This is v0.18! Version v0.18: Patch Notes A quick rundown of this update: Core Combat rebalance including more heat for strikes and blocks, reduce strike distance, and a double/combo strike bugfix VFX text effects when gaining heat to show how much you've gained Increased arena size outside of the ring Skippable entrances New Versus mode: Scramble Versus: Scramble Under Versus, there is now a new mode called "Scramble"! This is the first new mode since launching on early access, so I'm excited to finally share something new. Here's how it works: Players start with 50% heat First player to signature another player gets the championship belt Any player that signatures the title holder steals the belt Last player with the belt when the time is up wins! Y…
- Remote Play Together and the future - 21 April 2020
It's been far too long since my last update! Let's start with a quick rundown of the newly released update, v0.17 aka "Moonsault". Version v0.17: Patch Notes A quick rundown of this update: Removal of online mode (more on that below) Better PS4 controller support Audio settings menu controllable by gamepads Fix missing gamepad button images Fix high-DPI scaling issues on macOS Two years in Early Access Double Turn launched on Early Access two years ago, and it was honestly more than I could handle at the time. I took some time to develop Double Turn full time and bring it to Early Access. After some bug fix patches and one minor update, I had to go back to freelancing full time, and later to getting a new full time job. I thought I'd be able to put our more regular updates working on it part time, but ultimately I failed to actually do Early Access the right way. While disappointing in…
- The Controls Update (v0.16.0 Release) - 20 June 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31873650%2Fae7a661f74bbf300b2ffa47d063db64eb9621046.png Finally at long last, v0.16.0 aka The Controls Update, the first decent sized update has arrived! This update is loving dubbed "Leaping Lariat" internally (yes, every minor release is named after different wrestling maneuver). The Controls Update includes Steam Controller support and in-game control bindings for keyboards and non-Steam gamepads. First off I'd like to apologize for the lack up updates up to this point. After getting out a ton of bug fix patches right after launch, I wanted to focus on getting this bigger update finished. In the process I ran into some unforeseen issues, some scheduling problems due to some of my freelance work, topped off with a general burnout from the tedious nature of this update. This update is not flashy, and most players might no…
- April Update (EA Monthly #1) - 30 April 2018

The first few weeks of Double Turn's Early Access have wrapped up, and I'm starting to switch gears from mostly fixing issues and putting out fires to starting to build new stuff! Obviously there will continue to be issues to fix and feedback to gather but all the high priority post-launch hotfixes have gone out. New Patch: v0.15.5 The latest patch went out, and includes some solo/AI balance issues and crash fixes. You can these, other issues, and previous patches on our roadmap. - Prevent strikes from hitting multiple AI opponents at once - Fix AI getting stuck at ropes - Reduce Battle Royal difficulty by increasing all timers by 5 seconds - Fix memory bloat problems related to the hit vfx causing crashes for some users - Fix periodic crash when leaving…
