Gather around, Brawlers! Thanks to the huge interest in Mayhem Brawler following the Daily Deal, we've prepared an update addressing some reported issues.

How is it going, Brawlers? Today, we'll dive into the backgrounds of Mayhem Brawler: Best of Both Worlds. Who is Rabia? I've been part of the Hero Concept team, breathing life into the Mayhem universe for about four years. Initially, I was a painter who wanted to create 3D environments, but my journey in the industry began with coloring character animations for Mayhem Brawler. Back then, I had created backgrounds for the upcoming game, and now I'm one of the few individuals working on the backgrounds for Mayhem Brawler: Best of Both Worlds. How It Started? This was both exciting and frightenin

When designing a game's cover art, it's important to take a deep breath. The cover serves as the game's first introduction to the outside world and will remain so for months to come. To be successful, it is not enough to have an impressive cover art and logo. The design should also be able to adjust to different frames quickly. When launching a game, the cover art is required in various sizes, including horizontal (16:9), vertical (9:16), or square (1:1). To ensure the best presentation of your cover, it is crucial to optimize it for each platform where it will be displayed. 1 - Briefing Based

Beyond Color Swapping Until the late 80s, the beat ’em up genre had secondary heroes with a color swap technique due to the limitations on the hardwares¹. However, Golden Axe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Final Fight, released consecutively in 1989, overcame this technological limitation and set the standard for characters to look different from each other. I want to highlight one of the groundbreaking titles: Final Fight. This game introduced the iconic and influential character, Mike Haggar, who set a new standard for beat ’em up games, and he paved the way for the famous “Big Guys!” {S

We all know a good soundtrack is integral to any beat 'em up. It helps the player to get involved with the game setting the tone of a particular level or warning the player that a Big Bad Boss is closer. And when the soundtrack is perfect, we want to listen to it everywhere. That's why we called the talented Emir Merzeci to compose the original 47 rocking tunes from the game for Mayhem Brawler. But, with our past updates, we also updated the game with two more tracks, one from the famous Air Supremacy trailer and the other is the newly added adrenaline-pumped Boss Rush. We know that many of yo
