Adam Ryland Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thought I'd let everyone know what's planned for the CornellVerse over the coming few months. Basically, the database is scheduled to go through a few phases. Phase 1 is the database that comes with the game now. With phase 2, you'll see the addition of a whole heap of new workers; there's around 300 renders still awaiting addition, these will be be used as "future workers" to extend the database further. Then, for phase 3, I'll be going through and redoing a lot of biographies and such like, adding finishers for a lot of people who don't have them, and doing some articles for the web site. Oh, and phase 4 will see a political event as Australia invades New Zealand and turns it into a state. Just kidding. ;) Somewhere down the line I also hope to work with the makers of the 1975 and 1997 mods to make them officially part of the universe canon.

Jennie Bomb Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Will the CornellVerse TV Networks and PPV carriers get their own logos at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Probably; at least the artist was planning to do them eventually last time I spoke to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepy Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Any idea of a time scale for these additions? Really looking forward to the website additions as they've all been done so well so far. For anyone that doesn't have a clue what I'm on about and wanting to get to be familiar with the background of the c-verse I'd recommend that they have a look at them.

TeemuFoundation Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 This actually got me excited. I've been messing around with the trial playing as RoF and I have too say that I've liked it. I've never been a big CVerse lover before, but RoF made a believer out of me, hah. Still, I do prefer my own real world historical mods (97-02), but I also do intend to keep playing my RoF savegame when the commercial game is released.

Gigas Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Some of the older profiles make the game seem too much like TEW07. Glad to see you are updating them. 21CW could use some updated bios :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2511 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Awesome!!!! I've been eagerly awaiting the updates to the website, because that is what got me hooked on the cornellverse in the first place. LOVE IT! Can't wait to see how you tackle the write-ups for things like the collapse of DaVE, and the "SWF Election Fiasco", maybe a profile on Big Money Brandon James? Adam, would it be too much to ask that you overhaul the australian data entirely, and we forget the APW being the first real aussie promotion thing ever happened...i mean, if your working with the historical mod makers? aye? aye aye? *nudges adam violently* Seriously though it would be sad to see Australia and NZ left out of the historical mods entirely, and at the same time itd be great to get some history into australia, with international workers who liked to travel when they were young (eg, Sam Keith) having visited and even some Historical Aussie Figures. =D seriously though, cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Casey Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hmmm... On the one hand, I'm psyched about the new workers. On the other hand, I remember importing 'new' workers into my ongoing game and finding myself with two Omar Browns, two Umeko Karubes and so on. So, please, new future workers only :p I get confused easily, and ended up with both Karubes on my roster without realising last time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderz Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 really good news with the new workers and the integration of the 1997 and 1975 mods.. I was a real big fan of the 1997 mod and had my most enjoyable game on TEW07 with that data.. does this mean that CZCW King of the Indies Tournament (from the 97 mod) will become 'official' as well..? always thought it was a good idea and a great opportunity to use promotion pacts to test out possible imports..

Marcel Fromage Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Looking forward to the new workers and the updates. The C-verse has become such a vibrant alternate reality now. One thing I'd like to see (ok, maybe it should go under suggestions but it seems to fit the thread) is some more reference to the 'ROF Academy'. Last year both members of The Tribe and Sharp & Heath all were brought on to the main roster early from the British Samurai trained Ring of Fire academy, but that's all we hear of it. It's not mentioned for any other ROF stars that might have come through it in the past and no future workers appear that are linked to it at all (well, at least not up to the end of 2014, which is as far as I played). It might be an idea for one or two new future British workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1PWfan Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 One thign with the new talent IIm hoping for is some more people in the SWF and USPW. SWF is frankly tedious in the AI, with it always, ALWAYS signing Chris Caulfield, Darryl Devine and James Prudence, and it'd be nice to see that cut out a whole lot. As for USPW, I've tried to play as them several times and it's just impossible to believe that they got to Cult with so little talent on the roster. I know they're meant to be about big names, but c'mon, [I]Peter Valentine[/I] is their top heel. No way they managed to get to Cult with that Lummox at the top of the card (unless Shane Sneer is very, very good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 They did a pregnancy angle... Nah, enough J Silver references. USPW got by on nostalgia. I dunno how to replicate that - it's why I've never been able to make a go of playing as them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, the potential signings are ranked, given a touch of randomness, and then made offers for - those three get signed a lot because they're head and shoulders above the rest of the free agent pool, so of course SWF are going to go for them. If you add more randomness to it you'd end up with stupid decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked at how ferocious the New Zealanders of these boards got. Most of the Kiwis I know would find 'NZ' lumped in with Australia to be worth throwing a Steinlager at Ryland, but an empty can because Kiwis enjoy their drink. As for dojos. I want to know what happened to the Mystery Wrestling Club - the training camp of NotBPW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
