Please please please! Release the product as an early release on Steam! Let your devoted fans pay for the incomplete version, test it, play it, LOVE IT, and continue development until it is released as a completed version. I would pay the money just to have an early release on Steam.
There already is a dedicated testing team hard at work. Let's just enjoy the finished product once it hits the shells in April. Patience is a virtue.

Out of curiosity. Is there a coding reason behind the (according to the Journal) apparent lack of ability for us to book a draw finish in battle royals still in TEW 2020? It's been lacking in the TEW series throughout the GDS era. And giving us the ability to book a battle royal to end on a double elimination seems like such an obvious thing to, it makes me wonder if it's just a coding limitation - and that I should stop suggesting it every year.

From personal experience, I can tell you that they do. Actors are very particular about their roles and what their characters will and will not do.
I can attest to this just from experience in theater yeah. "I shouldn't get beaten up by this guy" is actually not exclusive to wrestling, as funny as it is.

Yea, I'm really looking forward to the Perception feature. Definitely one of my most looked forward to features announced for 2020. I think that it will fix a lot the nagging issues I've had with TEW, despite always really liking them. I hope it can somehow solve the issue of contextual popularity, as well. What I mean is, if a Kurt Angle joins a TNA, him jobbing to an AJ Styles there isn't the same as a Kurt Angle jobbing to a 2006 AJ Styles in WWE during the same era. Simulating this has never really felt possible in TEW because popularity is always absolute.

Casual gaming doesn't really teach you the speed tech. That's why speed games usually have tutorials, and communities than share knowledge. When I started running the Super Nintendo Mega Man X games way back when, I thought hey, I've beaten these games a million times, I'll know how to speedrun them. But lol, I really didn't. But the learning process is fun. As for which game you should pick, if you really are interested, it's a game you can play over and over and over. That's it, really.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, not to venture too far offtopic, as far something like TEW speedrunning would go, I think the categories should be things like Local to Global, Local to Cult, and stuff mentioned in the above post. And I think it would use in-game time, as opposed to "real time". I think some shorter categories could actually be a pretty fun thing to look at.</p><p> </p><p> Of course, the unfortunate thing is, Adam would be quick to patch out any exploits that are discovered and shared on the forums. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> I'm just kidding.</p>

TEW speedruns when?

WWE's television shows are so bad. They are actually bad television, bad entertainment. It's so damn bad, I actively wonder how they still somehow pull millions of watchers, despite the ratings going down. Like, what do the people still watching get from this company? I used to always watch at least the Rumble and Mania, last year was the first time since becoming a fan that I just skipped both. Watched no WWE programming all year.</p><p> </p><p> TEW is the only wrestling related thing I have any interest in. And I blame WWE's bad TV for my lack of interest that particular company; if the TV shows, meant to hype up PPVs, are unwatchable, how do I get hyped for PPVs? I don't.</p>

I believe pop gains and losses should be higher on TV vs. Events. More people watch the TV show. I know Raven used to agree to job on PPV if he got the win back on TV because he figured more people see the TV show.

Also, sometimes you just gotta deal with upsetting people. It's only realistic, honestly. If you watch shoot interviews, you'll notice that no one was ever happy and everyone was always mishandled by da management. It's always "I never should have lost to that guy, I never should have lost to this guy". It's part of being a booker, I would assume; everybody always hating you.

Um... they literally can't put a RW mod in the game.
Do you really think they avoided putting real wrestlers in the game for 16 years?
Good Lord, it's been 16 years? I still remember the announcement of TEW 2004. Man, I'm old as a tree.
-
Why not? Is it not common knowledge in wrestling when contracts end? Marty Scurll, Revival, Matt Hardy, the list goes on.
Maybe there could be RNG created news stories that pop up, revealing exact contract lengths for workers? That's kinda how it is in real life, isn't it? It's the dirt sheets that cover this stuff.

Congrats on finishing the US, Canada, and Britain during the holidays. That's actually pretty sick, what a beast.

The guy who is arguably the most over in the company is the children's show host with a demonic alter ego.
Yes, this is true. And I did think about that. But he is clearly a major exception. But I digress.
-
Maybe it's been covered or asked. I'm not on here daily. Did you guys by chance add 7 or 8 man singles matches?? To replicate those big money in the bank matches?
Yes.

It's basically the case of WWE losing its touch with the fans. What the WWE wants their Raw & SmackDown product to be and what the fans are looking for are two very different things. WWE still books as "PG Sports Entertainment", but in actuality ratings and show quality are falling, because fans aren't buying that anymore.
It's an important destinction most mods don't keep in mind. "Product" sets what kind of fanbase the company will have, not how it is actually booked by a Booker with a "Sports Entertainment" and "Look" bias. WWE's product is there, Classic Sports Entertainment, if you keep the falling fanbase in mind
Okay, first off, I want to say let's not have this devolve into one of those arguments, people are totally entitled to enjoy exactly the type of wrestling they enjoy. And I don't want to go offtopic too much, either, but I'll say a few things since it does have to do with my suggestion about products. But I'm not sure I totally agree with this statement. Granted, my WWE watching is limited at best these days. But I kinda keep up here and there. I just feel like WWE itself has put heavier emphasis on the actual in ring product, and the traditional sports-entertainment, while still there, has taken a backseat. At least when it comes to larger than life characters. Compare The Rock and Stone Cold to Seth Rollins and AJ Styles. And not taking anything away from Seth and AJ - well, at least AJ - but they're not quite The Rock and Stone Cold. The character that most wrestlers in WWE seem to have these days is "he is a good wrestler".
And I think this does cater to the fanbase that is there. It's just a different fanbase that it used to be. Because, in the past, the product was different, and it was aimed at a different demo. These days, the WWE seems to try to be some kind of weird sports-entertainment-modern indy wrestling hybrid thing kinda. I'm not really sure what the identity even is to be honest. From the entry products Adam listed, I'd say that WWE is a mix between the PG sports-entertainment and the Nerd Nirvana products. I think NXT is definitely Nerd Nirvana.
But then again I also echo what Self said above in that WWE is a weird beast in more ways than one, and perfectly replicating it to a video game like TEW is hard if not impossible. So idk.
-
I'm bad with being creative with catchy names, but I'm not sure I found modern WWE represented there. I'm not one for modern day save files, but many are. The PG sports entertainment is obviously the closest, but I feel like emphasis on match quality has increased in the past five or so years. It's still PG sports entertainment, but the fanbase has really started to demand the indy style "good match" content. In my eyes, to the point where angles and matches are almost 50/50. Maybe 60/40 in favour of angles. Of course, I may be misunderstanding, having not played the game.
-
In the meantime, I've also been busy upgrading the editor based on what parts of the database work have been challenging or not user friendly enough, and I've also been fixing whatever the testers have found.
Oh, this makes me so happy. As a person who fiddles with the editor more than actually plays the game, I'm very excited, haha. Thanks, Adam.
-
I'm just worried that it's gonna take ages to create a worker when doing a database. But since Adam himself does the default database, I have faith that he'd notice if this feature was an unnecessary, huge added workload.

-
Yea, makes sense. Thanks, Adam and Derek. My question was mostly out of curiosity.
-
No; the writing of the default data has no bearing on when the game itself is ready.
But how can that be? Surely writing the default data is time and energy spent away from coding the game?

<strong>Canadian Hero</strong> - A worker who takes special pride in the fact that he's Canadian, and is less willing to do a job in Canada. And I don't mean just Bret Hart; it's a known historical meme that Canadian wrestlers - especially ones from Montreal - were expecting to get special treatment when it came to working matches in Canada.
-
No? This isn't the case.
The gimmick overhaul was during this "Phase II" of the journal, and there's been a lot of little features added, too.
Literally from the Journal:
August: This is meant to be the final month for adding new content. -
If there is not an alliance update somewhere near the end of the journal I will admit to be very disappointed. While I know we are in the live journal stage, if some of the major alliance upgrades that were expected or requested aren't even gonna make the list in some way or fashion, it is disappointing. So many great improvements, no doubt, and I love what was announced, but we all know regardless some are more looked for than others.
It's my understanding that the features have been announced and no new ones are getting in. What you see is what you get.
