July 2026 Development Update | studio joh
Back with another update! This month I’ll be talking about my thoughts around balance and some planned visual updates.

I'm not a solo dev, but more than 95% of the game was made by me. Absolutely no AI was used in the process of creating HF2, and I'd argue its online features and UX are as good or better than some recent fighting game releases.
Fun fact - after exhibiting last weekend, Yona and Kero were the most popular characters by far! If 2 people sat down at least one of them were picked. Wonder how it'll shift as more characters are added.
Finally have real shadows! #gamedev #indiegame

I thought I liked fighting games, but maybe I just like the arcade era in general. I find I really dig the flashy, creative presentation that games back then were kinda forced to have.
Wish I could be at Combo Breaker this year...🥲
Awesome stuff here. Well worth the listen if you have the time

HYPERFIGHT 2 Demo Trailer, shorts version! A new take on 2D fighting games where you put your meter on the line, to win or lose it all. #gamedev #indiegame #fgc
The grind to get the demo done in the past month was one of the most exhausting periods of my life. So glad the release went smoothly and people seem to be really enjoying it. Gotta get back to it in a bit, but I'll relax this weekend a little longer.
"WOULD YOU LIKE A TASTE?" The demo of HYPERFIGHT 2 is up and has ROLLBACK! Kudos to @studiojoh.com for putting it together in a way that makes playing it online as seamless as possible! Check my short appetizer out on @supercombo.gg! supercombo.gg/2026/04/16/h...

It's hard not to feel sentimental: back in 2021, HYPERFIGHT was the absolute first game I've covered in my Medium blog, only to bring that selfsame article back to SuperCombo one year later. Now, in t...
