So there's that: I consider the new date a deadline. After some struggling about how far to postpone, I decided that a full year should give me all the room I need, also to avoid having to postpone again in the future. This past month, I realized that I couldn't get the game to a state that I'd be going to be content with just until the end of the year. While that statement still holds, and albeit I'm a solo developer and the game literally has "Casual" in its title, I don't want to release unfinished garbage. CPW has already been in development for several years and I thought that by the end of this year, I could release something for Early Access.


To some degree, I also chose a rather short time frame to boost my motivation - which, by the way, worked. Here's why.įrankly, I overestimated how far the game already was when I announced it 8 months back, and how far I was gonna get it according to my internal roadmap. To get straight to the point: I decided to postpone the Early Access release of Casual Pro Wrestling by one year to December 22, 2023. I feel an announcement like this is the best way to share these news and now, as the project's popularity is still rather small, is the best time to do it. I'm afraid I've got some bad news today that may be disappointing to some, but I want to remain transparent about the game's development. Happy Holidays, enjoy, and please leave your thoughts! I decided to play as the flag bearer, CPW Man, while the other three are controlled by the game's AI. You have seen these characters in previous clips - and by the way, they were all made in the game's own CAW mode. Therefore, to be able to show as much gameplay as possible, I decided to record a 4-Way No-DQ Elimination Match:ĬPW Man vs. Frankly, this is because a lot of content was (and still is) lacking. So far, I have shared various short scenes mostly focusing on a specific feature, but I have never recorded a full match. In any event, it's the holiday season - what a wonderful occasion to share with you the first full match gameplay footage of Casual Pro Wrestling! Those who follow me on Twitter may have seen a snippet or two, and those who don't can look forward to a summary by the end of the year.

Despite the recent lack of development blog posts, the second half of 2022 has seen a lot of exciting updates to CPW gameplay.
