New updates??

[Society]

The game is on life support and abandoned, 50 bucks for this version with some periodic discounts , no regional pricing, no crossplay, broken launch, 0 advertisment since last july evo, what is going on french bread?

Ogre is coming in February, maybe they'll announce something during the Cygames cup (which i doubt). Other than that, yep, the French Bread went almost radio silent on this one.

i mean its fb, when they had strong marketing or plentiful updates? maybe first couple of months of mbtl, but thats about it i think
they just dont really do it like that, is it because of company size, development nuances, or other reasons - only they know

It's not abandoned, there are 2 more characters coming. The launch issues were fixed (and likely the fault of Cyclone-zero). Sony charges the company to allow crossplay, on top of the development costs it would already take to implement, and French Bread just doesn't have that money to spend. Most indie fighters don't advertise much past launch, if at all.

Idk what people expect from a small team working in an already niche genre. Uni2 is in a good state, it doesn't need constant balance patches like an NRS game. Adding new characters takes resources that FB is quite short on. The community always has to keep smaller FGs alive, and that's what's happening here. There's still a strong competitive scene for Uni2 and it will likely stick around for another 5+ years. FB makes good games and lets them stand on their own merits.

If you want a larger playerbase of casuals then get your friends into Uni or just move to a more mainstream game. FB just doesn't have the resources to compete with games like GGST or GBFVSR, even though they make far better games.

brother preach i say preach

only bad thing about uni is some of the people in the discord being gross and weird and not being called out on it by anyone else, but thats just as much the fault of discord itself and its not specific to uni

chill bro, there's so much a team of like 20 people can do I guess

This game was already dead on arrival and the surprising amount of glazers and copium addicts here certainly made things worse. Imagine a fighting game releasing only three new characters in the course of two years lol what a joke

I think people overvalue how much new characters actually add to the game. No one looked at this game and said
"The gameplay is fire, the characters they have are awesome but hold up, im not gonna play this game cuz they are only releasing 2 characters a year instead of 4."

If you don't like any of the characters now, you won't like any future ones. The same people who made the characters you don't like now, are designing the future ones.
