Hobby developer here. Had an idea for a game that didn't exist so I built it in Godot 4. I have spent years playing games like WMMA, and have always had a keen interest in MMA but more so BJJ, I always wanted a BJJ focused game, it didn't exist, so i got to work!

The game is called Open Guard, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu management simulation. You run an academy, sign fighters, develop them and compete on a global circuit.

What's in it:

• Live in-match injuries, fighters limp through matches with compromised limbs, severe injuries end fights via referee stoppage
• Gyms rise and fall based on finances, fighters age, retire and quit the sport
• Full tournament calendar including ADCC and IBJJF Worlds
• Every save is a completely new generated world, new fighters, new potential stars, no two saves are the same
• + injury types, financial management, scouting, contracts, satellite training camps, narrative events

It's a free alpha so expect rough edges. Would love feedback from anyone who plays it, especially on balance and anything that feels off.
