The Shutdown of TheFlyingKnee.Com

It is with mixed feelings that I announce the shutdown of TheFlyingKnee.Com. The shutdown will take place on October 15, 2012. I would like to thank the loyal subscribers who have helped keep the game going, for bringing ideas to the table, and for notifying me off issues as they occur.

I first developed TheFlyingKnee.Com as a text-based MMA simulation game over 10 years ago, during my spare time (before and after work, as well as during lunch breaks). The game was developed out of my interest in MMA, and my desire to keep my programming skills up to date. I then decided to take it a step further and add graphics/animation, making TheFlyingKnee.Com the first animated online MMA game. Whether text or animated, my goal for the game was to achieve as much realism as feasibly possible for a one-man operation. Everything including fighter attributes, fighter training, fighter conditioning, fight sequences, and judging was thoroughly researched and implemented accordingly.

A lot has changed in my life since I first started the project, and over the past two years, I simply did not have the time to maintain and enhance the game at a pace I have in the past.

Again, I would like to thank the loyal subscribers/supporters of TheFlyingKnee.Com.

Fighter Physical Traits

Currently, fighters in the WFC do not have any physical traits. However, that will change with the upcoming release. In addition to the introduction of fighter training, fighters will also be issued physical traits, such as height, weight, and reach. Although weight classes will not be introduced in this upcoming release, it will be in the release after that. Your fighter's physical traits will eventually determine what weight class your fighter will be able to fight in. Note that the weight generated will be the weight that the fighter normally walks around in; not his fighting weight. Thus, a fighter who is 175 can cut weight down to fight in the 155 division.

Much more to come so stay tuned!
