Halloween Update

The Steam version of Drunken Wrestlers 2 hasn't seen updates for over a month while I've been hard at work on the Android version of the game. I had to optimize the game quite a bit to be able to run on mobile devices, but these optimizations also carry over back to PC.

Latest Updates

I was avoiding talking about COVID-19 because the mediasphere is already oversaturated with it, but unfortunately this game got impacted by it too. Due to the lockdown in Russia, I got trapped in another apartment with a laptop which can barely run the game. There are 3 other people living in the same room, which means I can't work on the game at night anymore, and that is a loss of more than 12 hours of valuable time every day ːsteamboredː
This resulted in a dramatic decrease in my productivity, hence why updates in the last week were so small. These updates might've also been rough and untested because of my inability to playtest the game on this laptop.

Anyway, here's what I managed to do in the past week:
