Ja7482 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I agree that a good looking interface that is efficient is a must when someone pays 34.95 for a text based simulation although thats where the line ends. I don't think even the prettiest of the FiSpi screenshots will make the general gamer say "wow" next to other commercial products like Day Of Reckoning or Smackdown vs Raw. People who generally buy games first based on screenshots rather than features or any info about the game usually is not the target audience for simulations to begin with (which is why text based sims are mostly a niche market). The main concern for these type of games has to be gameplay, depth, features, and then graphics. To me these type of games kind of remind me of the "roguelike" community. For 20+ years there have been people obsessed with these ASCII games that offer only letters and symbols for graphics (or simple tiles) yet what hooks these people have been the gameplay and exploration. Also many roguelikes are superior to their graphical cousins that were inspired by them (diablo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshadeex Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I was always curious on what it would take to make a wrestler picture editor. A couple of my more programming and graphical savant-type buddies said it wouldn't be an easy thing to make, but is definitely doable given the time and effort. Something like that would be completely amazing and could be used in all future games Adam would make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Chavez Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 For those involved with the graphics portion of this game, I'm curious as to what program your using. Poser, Maya, 3D Studio Max, Bryce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky CBK Hawes Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 As for the program involved in not necessarly open to answering that due to not having prior permission from adam but I can comment on a previous post about the rogue' like community. I completely agree that screenshots and trailers of the games visual presentation in action are a major selling point in todays venure but FiSpi's screens will definately break the mold of gameplay vs graphics. Its subtle yet brilliant use of imagery will undoubtedly become one of its main selling points. I guarantee you'll be left like this :eek: from the get go.

Ricky CBK Hawes Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 As for Nightshadeex's comments regarding a "wrestler picture editor" a program like this very well could be made. For reference check out [url]http://heromachine.com[/url] and view what they came up with for a online albeit basic character creator. Edit: After checking the site above I realized they have released a new upgraded "pay version" of their previous software. Free version 1.0 can be found here if anyone is interested [url]http://www.ugo.com/channels/freestyle/heroMachine/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unregistered Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Even text can be considered a "Grapic", so in a sence, it will have alot of Graphics. However, it will not be in 3D nor 2D. It has been said that they may be pictures of the moves themselfs... pictures. It will not be like Smackdown or Raw, it will be alot more like any other Text Based Game. It will have pictures, banners and more then likely a cool background, but otherwise... there's not really much to talk of. Hope this helped (I also hope that I am not off too much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky CBK Hawes Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Im glad you are going into this with that attitude Unregistered because come screen shot time you are going to be overwhelmingly suprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 No offence of course, I just don't expect more then a pretty screen to look at. If somehow it turns out more then that, great, if not, no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky CBK Hawes Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I completely understand where yours coming from and actually opinions like your helps spur movements in all sorts of positive directions. Its always better to not believe the hype and get knocked out by it then being overwhelmed with anticipation and being let down. After the screen shots or the game is in your hand do me a favor and recomment on your position on this subject if you will. Thanks, CBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unregistered Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Good enough. And just a quick question related to the subject... how big is it this time? Any idea? Or at least, Bigger/Smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 The program itself is about the same size, but the overall package is going to almost certainly be much bigger due to the increased usage of multimedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
