Genadi

This is such a great idea Celt fantastic work. I had an idea for something similar with rw pics a few years ago but not being very knowledgeable about hosting stuff etc couldn’t find a good system or site. Any chance you’d ever look at doing one for rw pics too? Great work again. These projects become valuable assets for the community. Edit - Sorry didn't read the whole thread you answered my question!

<p>Thanks everyone for the kind words <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> To give an update on where I'm at.... Work on TGA and MA has been underway since BETA started. I've been focussing mostly on SoP though. It's clearly what most people want that next so I'm shifting all of my attention to it now with full release. The mod has taken on a life of it's own in some ways growing larger than I anticipated but not too big I think it's bloated. Tests on 2016 were running near perfectly but with the switch to 20 obviously loads of things need re-tweaking. For specifics, the mod now stands at around 100 Companies (60 Active) and 3,900 Workers. Huge amounts of work have gone into details like Mask/Hair History, Dojos & Graduates and much more. As a rough estimate I'd say it's around 90% complete for 2016 and 60% complete for 2020. I wish I could offer a timeframe for release but I haven't spent enough time in the editor and simming/playing to gauge how consistently fast progress will be yet.</p><p> </p><p> After much consideration and deliberation I've opened a PayPalMe link (Added the link in Discord) for anyone that's asked to "Shout me a beer" or "Buy me a coffee". I can't stress enough that this isn't an expectation on my end for anyone to do so or more importantly that this isn't an indication that I will ever charge for anything, ever. My stance has not and will not ever change on that matter.</p>

Opinions are definitely valid but here's a fact that isn't debatable. Good UI's are liked by the vast majority of the playerbase for any given game. That's literally how they're judged because that's their purpose. Good UI's aren't disliked by half of the playerbase, that would be considered an average to poor UI by most gaming standards. I'm beyond disappointed the Editor wasn't improved. Attributes still being in dropboxes is the biggest letdown.

Yep, hundreds of workers yet to debut and loads of company's. Don't think AEW is in as they launched after I released the mod.

The D&D comment was because it was an awful comparison, not an insult Your second point isn't true though, I can tell you firsthand the more a RW mod clones CV the more wonky things will happen. I've been praised for balance in my mods, I disregarded CV balance and comparisons many years ago. I had to do so because I saw the CV gradually evolve into something that didn't mirror RW at all.

Of all the things to use as a comparison D&D? Let's use a far better comparison like football. If FM used a fictional database.... Average scores of matches for an EPL season are 8-6 and when complaints are made players are told working as intended because it's a fictional db. If RW modders were to model balance on CV most smaller companies would grow far more rapidly than they do in reality. Far more stars would be made than in reality due to hundreds of workers having OP stats. That's only stats, I've not touched the issue of CV creeping into every corner of the game. Just last week a dev when discussing broadcasters said something like "It's not 100% realistic they're made for CV". So CV is now changing the definition and way simple things like broadcasters work. I also suggest anyone interested in this topic to do some research on it because there's a lot of history. See how the CV evolved, how it was used in one TEW in particular to plug over some very obvious holes in the game. Whether you enjoy it or not shouldn't be questioned. Has it been overall good or bad for the game should be questioned.

Or maybe make it an option like every other text based sim I play does. It doesn't have to be one side vs the other every time even a small feature is suggested. Options are always a good thing.

I've received more love and support over the past few weeks than I ever have. I probably would have called it quits by now had it not been for this love and support.

Some of the stories of people playing my mods for 15+ years now or as some put it "Since I was a kid" has also made me feel super old <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Modding can be very much a thankless task with the vast majority of time spent staring at numbers in the editor. Hearing stories of people enjoying playthroughs is the most rewarding aspect for myself and is a great motivator to continue modding. If you have any other modders work you enjoy I recommend letting them know, especially right now modders could use all the support you can offer. I hope other modders are shown the love I've received as I'm sure it will help motivate them also.</p><p> </p><p> Edit - Sincerely, to everyone who's reached out thank you <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
