Dev Letter

These scenes are all too real for basketball lovers: the sting of a finger jab during a steal, a star player nailing a massive triple-double and capturing everyone's admiration, the explosion of chatter in a fan group when a trade hits the news, and the heated debates over who currently holds the title of the best shooting guard in the league. In "FREE DUNK," we strive to encapsulate these passionate and exhilarating moments in every pixel.

Yet, creating this experience is infinitely more complex than mastering a crossover move back in the day. Beyond our passion for the game, we need to sharpen our 'inner skills': the game must be intuitive and smooth, the art style unique with striking character models. The player development system should be rich and varied, enabling you to build your own superstar. A balanced and orderly game ecosystem is crucial to ensure everyone can compete fairly. These challenges are our primary focus, and we know that every basketball journey starts with airballs and missed backboards.

As we approach the upcoming game test, anticipation is mixed with a touch of anxiety. We understand that "FREE DUNK," from its initial idea to its current form, will undergo countless revisions and refinements. We're ready for that. Believe us when we say that this dedicated team will never stop improving the game. The harsh critiques from the community, the cries of "this feature is brutal" on live streams, and even the optimization suggestions sent at three in the morning will all be noted and displayed on our 'wall of shame' in the office. After all, only true friends on the streetball court will candidly say, "Buddy, you've got a long way to go."

Without realizing it, basketball has seeped into our very being, becoming an integral part of who we are.

The game attempts to recreate the signature moves of legendary real-life basketball players: a Euro step to gracefully bypass defenders for a smooth layup; a set of dreamlike footwork followed by a spin and skyhook under the basket; a one-legged fadeaway that renders the opponent's block futile. Moreover, in critical moments, you will experience the recreation of countless classic moments, like a seemingly impossible 3-point shot taken under heavy defense.
