Alpha Development Progress: 6 Major Improvements

We're thrilled to share the latest progress on Wrestling GM 2026! Our alpha testing team has been instrumental in shaping these updates, and we're excited to unveil six major improvements that make the game more polished and enjoyable.

1. Improved Contract Negotiations

One of the most requested features is here! You can now sign wrestlers using two distinct contract types:

Pay Per Appearance (PPA)

• Pay wrestlers only when they perform on your shows
• Perfect for part-time talent or testing new signings
• Lower commitment, but wrestlers may leave for better offers
• Ideal for smaller federations watching their budget

Fixed Term Contracts

• Lock in wrestlers for a guaranteed period
• Predictable weekly salary expenses
• Greater roster stability and loyalty
• Better for building long-term storylines and championship reigns

This strategic depth adds a whole new dimension to roster management. Do you go all-in on a superstar with a fixed contract, or keep your options open with pay-per-appearance deals?

2. Profile Editing

Made a typo in your GM name? Want to change your nationality or avatar? Now you can! We've added the ability to edit your GM profile after creation.

Access your profile settings anytime to update:

• First and last name
• Gender
• Nationality (with 200+ country flags)
• Avatar selection

No more starting a new save just because you want to tweak your identity!

3. Multi-Save Support

Managing multiple federations just got easier. You can now save up to 2 games simultaneously!

This opens up exciting possibilities:

• Run a hardcore indie promotion AND a family-friendly entertainment empire
• Experiment with different booking philosophies
• Share different saves with friends
• Keep a backup before making risky decisions

Your saves are clearly labeled and easily accessible from the main menu.

4. Decluttered User Interface

We've taken a critical eye to the UI and made significant improvements:

• Removed unnecessary icons that added visual noise
• Eliminated duplicate text that cluttered screens
• Streamlined navigation for faster access to key features
• Cleaner mobile experience optimized for smaller screens

The result? A more focused interface that lets you concentrate on what matters: building your wrestling dynasty.

5. Improved Startup Presentation

First impressions matter! We've enhanced the game startup experience with:

• Smoother loading transitions
• More polished visual presentation
• Better onboarding flow for new players
• Refined federation creation process

The game now feels more premium from the moment you launch it.

6. Enhanced Match Booking UX

Booking matches is at the core of Wrestling GM, so we've invested heavily in improving this experience:

• Intuitive drag-and-drop roster selection
• Clearer visual feedback when creating matches
• Better organization of match types and stipulations
• Faster workflow from match creation to show finalization

Whether you're booking a quick weekly show or a major pay-per-view, the process is now smoother and more enjoyable.
