Starting all the way back in 2015, Ultimate World Fighting Tournament was a Google+ roleplaying community where anyone was able to join, make their own characters, and participate in original stories, as well as of course a fighting tournament that pitted OCs against each other. After a whole decade, our small community has continued to build upon this world and our characters, and now we are adapting our original stories into a web series!
At its core, the Ultimate World Fighting Tournament is about different fighters with varying powers and goals aiming to become the greatest fighter there is. It is over the top and goofy, but many meaningful stories have come out of it as well. The series satirizes many of the tropes of older roleplaying communities, and to an extent 2010s internet culture.
There will be 16 fighters in the tournament, and we will publish every battle between them. Before that, we will publish profile pages for each character, much like the profile pages you would have seen in these roleplaying communities. You will be able to learn a little bit about each fighter before we are ready for the tournament to begin.
We have been working on a rewrite project for UWFT since 2021, but only now have circumstances and planning aligned to give this project new light that has let us move forward. This is my passion project that I want to devote most of my time to now, so any support or interest would be greatly appreciated. You can support us financially on my Kofi page, or you can join our public discord server to talk about the web series with us or stay up to date on the project and new releases.
This is an amateur project, but we are really passionate about taking this as far as we can go and telling the stories we want to tell. It has been extremely cool to see all the artwork that has been made in preparation for this web series, and I hope to share more of the Ultimate World Fighting Tournament with all of you guys so more people can see what we found so enjoyable and special about it as teenagers.
