Danny Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hello everyone, three new WreSpi screens are now available. These feature the worker, promotion and back stage screens [url]http://www.greydogsoftware.com/news.php?id=120[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I'll answer a few questions in advance, shall I? ;) [U]Wolf Hawkins screen [/U] * For those wondering, KK from the .400 boards has very kindly allowed me to distribute his picture packs with WreSpi, hence the use of the Wolf Hawkins picture. * The version refers to which contract you are viewing. It will automatically start on the right contract if you view him via a promotional-specific page. * Honours is a list of titles that he holds \ has held, and also any positions of power he has. Hawkins, as a rookie, doesn't have any currently. * "Recent Headlines" goes through your mail box and displays the headings of any new stories that involved this worker. This is a good way to see what has happened to him recently, such as hirings and firings. * "Scout" is a pop-up window in which your mentor will analyze this worker and give you advice on how to fight him. [U]Backstage Screen[/U] * You visit this screen before any event that you are in attendance for. * There is no punishment for not talking to people, so you do not have to go around all 8 people. * It's not always wrestlers, referees, managers, road agents, etc, can all be in the locker room. * "Recap" shows a listing of the night's card [U]Promotion Profile Screen[/U] * Clicking on a member of the roster automatically loads their profile screen. * Clicking a title automatically loads the title profile screen. * "Schedule" can either be Normal (monthly or weekly events with additional TV shows) or Touring (1-4 shows a week, every week, with certain months set to being either On Tour or Off Tour, with additional TV shows. When not on tour, the promotion is essentially inactive - to simulate Japanese promotions mainly.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Graphics look quite shabby to me, not much of an improvement on TEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Damn, this game looks really sweet. A question though Adam..... Are those Hawkins starting stats, or have they been changed? And that new bio for him is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 They're his starting stats. The database is set a year after TEW2004, so numerous people have become better \ gotten worse, gotten new profiles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralZ Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 In a worker's stats, are they always just numbers like that, or will the coloured bars from TEW be included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Numbers only, for two reasons. Firstly, there's too many stats to have bars for, otherwise the entire screen would be covered. Secondly, in TEW you needed a quick overview because you were generally looking through large lists of people and just wanted a general idea of who was good. You would never need to do that in WreSpi, so just having specific stats works much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralZ Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Ok, cool. Thanks AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerguy Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Great looking shots. So are a worker's stats different than TEW where if a category is at 60 it means he's good enough to wrestle? I hope that made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 No, they're all on the scale of 0 (abysmal) to 100 (awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderz Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 im really liking the new screens, the game looks to be progressing nicely and will be welcomed addition to my collection... |Anderz| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professorrev Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Can I just point out how cool the event title "Malice in Wonderland" is. Also, I love the way the original data has moved in the intervening two years. It'll add playability simply to check what has changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I think people who liked the Original Data in TEW will really get a kick out of some of the stuff that's been done to it for WreSpi. I've specifically tried to keep the amount of changes consistent with the amount of time (1 year) that's elapsed since TEW, so there isn't so many changes that you won't recognise the world, but there are enough that the world has noticeably moved on.

Unright Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 The comment in the Notes field "A Middleweight American wrestler, he was born..." Is that a stock description for everyone much like the one for wrestlers in EWR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshadeex Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I am so happy that HGC got changed to TCW. I just wonder what happened to J.K. Stallings Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a stock description for everyone much like the one for wrestlers in EWR?[/QUOTE] It is an automatically generated piece of text, which is based on the worker's statistics, sort of an "auto-overview".

Derek B Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Looking around, I see that there are still different promotion types. I assume that different types of promotions will sign different types of wrestlers to them. Any word on that? And also, will there be any new promotions in the game? Even though there are plenty around, I'd love to see some more little ones around. I know they'd besically be indies, but it would be good to have a lot of small promotions for the rookies to go to, especially if you really do start out as a pretty poor rookie. And lastly, great to see Wolf doing well. He's always one of my favourite signings in TEW (usually either tagging/feuding with Valentine). Nice bio. Have to say I'm looking forward to seeing how much the world has changed in the game. Methinks I know too much about the TEW one already..... this is just gonna make me worse.

I have no plans to add any more feds anywhere else just yet, as I don't think there's enough workers to realistically support more without over-saturation happening.

Unright Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Has anyone retired in the past year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Nope, but the original Elemental has come out of retirement for a while for some dream bouts in BHOTWG. Wolf Hawkins' overness is actually wrong in that screen shot BTW, I forgot to update it. He's actually around 50 overnes, as he is now teaming with Stevie Grayson as the midcard team "Youth Gone Wild" on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
