Death Row 2200 [HYPE / HELP]


Recommended Posts

Thanks. :)

 

FYI, I've realized that there's no way I'll have this mod finished before WMMA4 comes out, so rather than doing a bunch of data work that I'll just have to convert (and maybe change, depending on how WMMA4 works), I'm going to spend the next few months focusing entirely on the fighter pictures. Hopefully I'll have a good collection ready whenever the game is released, and this mod can be as big as I imagine it.

 

So far I have about 200. My optimistic goal is a little over 600 if you include the aliens, so... It will be a while.

Just a monthly update to say that this is still happening. I only mention it because I have a habit of basically abandoning projects (mostly dynasty threads and personal savegames, though. My MW picture pack will be updated again eventually) and moving on to other things.

 

Here are a few more samples. They're all Asian because I'm going by race right now, just so I don't waste time trying to decide which race the next guy will be. That's also why they're all the same build and mostly the same color.

(Yeah, the last guy is a total Mamoru Yamaguchi knock-off. :D)

Checking in again. I'm on track to have all of the fighter pictures I need by the end of the year. That should give me enough time to get used to WMMA4 and plan out how I want everything to be set up. I'm really excited to use some of the new features that have been announced in the developer's journal. :)

 

Of course it will still take a good while to create all of the characters, and I plan to write profiles on all of the user avatars and NPC owners, as well as a set of objectives and/or rules for each avatar that will (hopefully) make things more interesting and add more replay value to the mod. All of this (and a lot more background information, particularly on the space station setting) will be included in a PDF file that comes with the mod. I'll be sure to include a TXT version for convenience.

This looks really interesting Iceisle. Love the avatars too.

 

Thanks, seriously. :) I might have given up by now if no one thought it was a good idea. At this point I know that I can stick with it, though.

 

The HeroMachine pictures started as a necessary evil because I have no rendering skills, but the comic art style has really grown on me, and I think it's much more appropriate for this particular concept anyway.

Still working on this, but I've been really busy moving into a new place and starting a new job, so I'm way behind schedule with these pictures. The WMMA4 demo has me itching to get them done ASAP, but it's going to be a long while. Just finished picture 259 of 620+, and that's not even considering the non-fighter characters... -_-

 

That said, I still have a lot of love for this concept (and a bunch of ideas swimming around in my head for pretty much every aspect of the mod), so it's only a matter of time. I'm just eager to get this part finished, because I don't think the actual data will take nearly as long to complete.

I definitely still hope to finish it eventually. I've just been a lot busier this year than I was when I set my goals for this mod. It will take a very long time, probably. Glad you're still interested. :)

Click these to see alternate versions, which I save as a reference for some of the masked and helmeted fighters, either to show what they'd look like during a match or just to show their face.

I lost the HeroMachine templates I was using to make these fighter pictures. Didn't realize they'd get wiped out when I cleared my temporary files. The HeroMachine website specifically says that clearing your cookies won't delete those files, but apparently clearing other temporary data can do it. So take that as a warning if you use HeroMachine. Back up your files! Their FAQ can show you where the folder is located on your hard drive.

 

Anyway, that happened back in April, and I finally got around to remaking those templates last night, so I'm back to work. Can't see myself losing interest in this project because it has been such a fun creative outlet and I'm itching to get it finished, but it's just one of many ways that I like to waste my time, so progress will probably always be slow. :p

 

I'll try to keep posting examples of the fighters from time to time so anyone interested knows I haven't trashed this idea, since the WMMA3 forums aren't being used for much these days.

Glad to hear that you're still working on this....:) I'd be interested in having a shot once you're finished.

 

I'm off to bump my mod thread. I'm still hard at work on my WMMA3 mod too.

Sad to hear you lost your work. I'm still kinda hoping this gets finished. If you need any help on company graphics or fight team logos etc i could help

 

Thanks. I'll probably take you up on that offer, especially for the team logos. I'm sure I'll need quite a few. Teams will basically be gangs, so I'll want enough for nearly everyone to end up joining one, and most will be relatively small.

 

I haven't been staying on top of this like I should, honestly. I have exactly half of the fighter pictures I need (310/620), and I still have to make a bunch of non-fighters. I want to believe that things will move faster once I have all of the pictures I need, but we'll see. :D

 

Anyway, glad to see someone is still interested in this concept, especially since I haven't really nailed down exactly what I want it to be yet. Right now it's just a bunch of these pictures and a Word document full of vague ideas.
