After months of cozy chaos, dragon-raising, and so many updates…

🌟🎉 Dragon Sprouts is about to leave Early Access! 🐉💫

What started as a solo dev passion project (built in just 90 days!) has grown into a magical little world thanks to your support and feedback.

When: Soon. I don't have an exact date, but it could be anytime now. I have just a few more things to finish up.

I wanted to give a heads up that saves will break in this next release. There's a lot of changes and there was no way to preserve saves with this one. That's part of the reason there's been a bit of a delay between updates. With breaking things, I want to get as much in there as I can before the update. I won't be able to get everything I'd like to in, but I'm going to work every moment I can to get as much as possible done.

There will still be more updates and content coming, but the game is far enough along that I don't think I should keep calling it early access. That means when this next update is released the game will also move out of early access.

🧡 What’s New in the Full Release?

• 14 dragons to discover & raise on a new map with new progression mechanics

• A creative map that will have any dragons unlocked in the main game.

• More decorations, polish, and bug squashing

Whether you’re here for the dragons, the building, or the peaceful vibes there’s more to explore than ever.

I have absolutely no idea what happened here.

None.

I mean, sometimes coding seems like a discrete, deterministic science, and other times it seems to follow entirely its own horrible logic. People suggest that Git is a solution, and that any record of the changes you've made to your code should yield a clear answer to any peculiar behaviour that results. Regrettably this is not so. It's a crock. Anyone who tells you differently hasn't been coding for long enough, or lacks even the tiniest amount of imagination. Of course, your milage may vary, but any claims to the contrary make me suspicious. Read this patch note carefully and you'll not only realise I'm perfectly correct, but, like me, you want things to work one-hundred percent of the time. Honestly, your time on earth is limited. To accept less is just wacky.

You know what to do.

Hello dear players!

Only 1 week left until the Early Access launch of BRUTAL JOHN 2!

Over all these years of development, we’ve done an extreme amount of work — all without a budget, driven solely by enthusiasm and working in our free time outside of our regular jobs.

Every day, we read your feedback on the game and did our best to implement your ideas and suggestions. And the final result is absolutely insane! We are really proud of how it turned out, and we hope you like it too!

And now — the moment has come: BRUTAL JOHN 2 is finally launching in Early Access on July 22!

It's being released on July 22 at 6:00 AM PDT.

Get ready for brutal action! The wait is almost over!

Just added in the "Join by IP" and "Host by IP" options to test out multiplayer.

- Music bug fixed (2 songs playing at same time)

- Door bug fixed (invisible door fixed)


Content update recap:

- A mysterious NPC who trades knowledge for soul shards

- A new boss in The Twisted Forest

- 2 additional levels

Just a couple quick fixes.

1.2.1 Patch Notes:

• adjusted several objective spawn locations on 'Summer Camp'

• tweaked several collision issues on 'Summer Camp'

• doubled controller/steam deck sensitivity

• fixed an issue causing players to be able to enter the closet in the Lookout Tower on 'Summer Camp' through the wall

• fixed an AI pathing issue on 'Butchers Nest' causing the entity to not navigate properly in the torture chamber

If you found a bug or have a suggestion, please let me know. I am looking forward to your feedback. :)

Cheers,

Beepbep

The emperor has returned, and he demands an audience with you adoring pests fans. Sagat will make his public appearance in Street Fighter 6 on August 5. As the first character from Year 3, heed his summons as they come with a helping of uppercuts, knees, and fireballs.

First appearing in the original Street Fighter as the main antagonist before becoming playable in Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. Sagat has retreated to the mountains to live out his days in peace with his tiger Willa Maiu. That is until M. Bison returns with only the feeling that Sagat used to obey him. M. Bison then finds Sagat, hoping to goad the emperor into serving him once again.

Peasants Fans who are familiar with Sagat’s playstyle will feel comfortable with his Street Fighter 6 iteration with his long reach and dazzling array of fireballs. His time spent away from any evil influences have opened up a few new abilities to cater any battle to his liking.

Starting off with the iconic High Tiger Shot where Sagat fires a ki blast directly forward using a fireball motion with medium or heavy punch. This fireball can only hit standing opponents and is fired at different speeds depending on the button pressed. The OD version of this move can hit crouching opponents and is plus on block.

Low Tiger Shot fires a ki blast using a fireball motion with light punch and can hit crouching opponents. Use both fireballs to keep insects opponents guessing.

The iconic Tiger Uppercut returns as a powerful anti-air attack. This time, if you hold down on the heavy version, the attack will be stronger, resulting in an animation that will send opponents flying.

Sagat uses Tiger Knee Crush to leap forward and catch worthless dimwits opponents off guard. The distance Sagat leaps depends on the button pressed. Hitting with the very tip of the knee makes this move plus on block. The OD version will allow for further attacks if the opponent is hit against the wall.

Behold the Tiger Nexus, a brand new attack where Sagat strikes with his knee, which can be followed up with three different kicks.

The first is Mighty Tiger, an overhead that hits crouching opponents.

The second is Greedy Tiger, which makes Sagat plus on block. This move does miss crouching imbeciles opponents though.

Finally, Nova Tiger hits both standing and crouching opponents and launches enemies in the air. It’s also plus on block. However, light and medium Tiger Nexus will not combo into Nova Tiger.

Sagat’s Level 1 Super Art, Tiger Cannon, fires a mighty Tiger Shot, which can hit opponents after you land an OD Tiger Shot or Tiger Nova.

Sagat’s Level 2 Super Art, Savage Tiger, will put the emperor in favorable positions depending on the fight and is invincible on startup. After Sagat leaps forward, this Super Art can be followed up with four moves.

First up is Savage Tiger Raid, which has the highest damage of all the options.

Second is Savage Tiger Zenith which launches the opponent in the air and can be followed up with more attacks.

Third is Savage Tiger Pendulum, which allows Sagat to switch places with his opponent.

Finally, there’s Savage Tiger Stomp, which leaves Sagat closest to the useless fool enemy, allowing for better “oki.”

Sagat’s Level 3 Super Art, Tiger Vanquisher, unleashes all of his power in a series of devastating kicks and a beastly uppercut.

For nostalgic fans, Sagat’s Outfit 2 is how he originally looked in Street Fighter II where he dons the muay thai shorts. Get this outfit in World Tour by maxing out your bond with Sagat or with Fighter Coins.

 

Also coming with the emperor is a new stage, Proud Spire, located in Thailand with a reclining Buddha statue in the background.

You can use Fighter Coins to get Sagat and Owners of the Year 3 Character / Ultimate Pass will automatically get access to him and the stage when he releases. In fact, the pass is available now! The Year 3 Character Pass will include 4 characters (Sagat, C. Viper, Alex, and Ingrid), Outfit 1 Colors 3-10 for those characters, and 3000 Drive Tickets. The Year 3 Ultimate Pass includes everything in the Character Pass plus the characters’ Outfit 2 and 3 Colors 3-10, an additional stage, and 2800 more Drive Tickets for a total of 5800. All the content from these passes will unlock as they release throughout Year 3.

As the first character of Year 3, ensure you pay your respects to Sagat. You don’t want royalty on your bad side. After Sagat, C. Viper will release in autumn 2025, Alex in early spring 2026, and Ingrid in late spring 2026!
