In today’s post, we’ll tell you a bit more about ourselves and how the game came to life. Inspirations: SPORTAL is inspired by classic FPS games. Quake 1 is one of my favorite games ever, as is the slightly later Painkiller. However, we also drew inspiration from other genres—mainly action roguelikes like Vampire Survivors. Our other inspirations include retro horror and the 1950s in general. We absolutely love

The number in the title is our rough estimate of how many hours our duo has poured into this game. In this post, I’ll recap the key milestones from the entire development journey. Let’s dive in! The Idea: Sportal is an evolution of our previous game, Golf VS Zombies . We wanted more weapons, more enemies, more arenas-and we wanted to remove the barrier that kept players from jumping straight into monster‑slaying action (yes, that infamous wall of text). The old game was fun, but it lacked that extra spark and didn’t achieve commercial success. This time, the plan was simple: do everything simi

In the beginning we were aiming for the release for the end of the year. However we decided to add more polish to the game! In this update, we’d like to share what we’re currently working on. Gameplay Balance: This is one of the most crucial aspects. We want the balance to feel just right — and trust us, it’s no easy task in a game like this. The biggest challenge lies in tuning the values of the global progression tree (the upgrades that don’t reset after death). Our goal is to ensure smooth pacing: no excessive grind, but also not too easy. In other words, we play relentlessly, adjusting upg

Hello freaks! Since the demo dropped two weeks ago, we've been working our butts off—tuning the balance, squashing bugs, polishing mechanics, and boosting the overall quality of the game. Most of this effort is aimed at the upcoming full release (yes, it's coming soon!), but the demo didn’t get left behind either. It’s been hit with dozens of juicy improvements to make your arena experience even more chaotic and satisfying! Most important improvements: In-game Wiki – Press F1 to access detailed descriptions of hundreds of items available in the game. Finally, some clarity in the chaos! Health

Choose your gear and fight your way through a gauntlet of grotesque creatures in a demo packed with carnage. What’s Ins

Hey folks! We’re in the final sprint on Sportal, which means less time for regular Steam devlogs lately. But today’s topic is just too good to skip—it’s been giving me the boost I need to share it with you. I’m putting this together after a full day of game‑building, so show some love with a comment or a like down below On that note, we’re down to just two milestones before launch! The game’s in an advanced stage now, and we’re deep into internal playtesting. From almost the very start, testers have been saying they expected a bit more of a sporty vibe. At first, we weren’t convinced—after all
