The Return of T-Zone (HYPE)


Recommended Posts

Edit: Just a little note on the suggestions of promotions, maybe for the future they could be considered as I am always open to suggestions. Inter-Species wrestling as a side note is a promotion I love but much like CHIKARA there are a lot of workers pulling double duty and the like so it can be hard although I love what Mike Rotch has done there and will certainly look to add them at some point.

 

I always hated Chikara because the damn masks and people pulling double duty. I think its maybe more obvious now (with the Ants being glaring examples) but it shows how much double duty has probably happened for years with them.

 

The one thing I tried to do, is track down who is who in Chikara through facebook. Sadly through that method I could only get RB Banks (Missile Assault Ant). Not sure if you ever looked at my chronicles update data, but there is some Chikara stuff in there with alter egos that might help. What really seems to be an issue now is most of the randoms that popped up in the Wrestling Is... promotions during Chikara's hiatus are pretty much all established guys under new/different hoods. And to complicate it more, eventually old gimmicks may be recycled onto new workers or Factory graduates, like Jervis was originally a Vin Gerard alter ego. So things like the Boar of Moldova, who at one point was maybe Hallowicked I think, might be someone else now.

To be honest as I personally like to play as CHIKARA, apart from the known or obvious ones I just put the workers in the data, like the ice creams used to be Quack and Wicked they say but now Quack is retired nobody knows who the ice creams are so for now they are seperate entities. This is done mainly to ensure I can play hassle free as CHIKARA as they are a promotion I enjoy playing as.

 

Jervis was originally TJ Cain, then Vin Gerard and I heard somewhere that there was one time that Jagged actually played the role. As far as I know the Jervis on the roster now is a new student so he stays in etc.

 

CHIKARA wise aside from RB Banks, Leslie Butterscotch, Archibald Peck, Drew Gulak and Orange Cassidy there are not many that can be pinned down. For example Lucky has played numerous characters in the past and could be playing one now but it cannot be said 100%. I would honestly leave CHIKARA out for the all the duplicated that could possibly be in if it was not for my own love for the promotion.

Is Archie under a new mask now? He hasnt really been super active anywhere in 2015 (I think only like 1-2 matches or something), and it never occurred to me he might be under a new mask until right now.

 

I too enjoy a good Chikara game. I almost always end up going through and trying to make semi-educated guesses as too some gimmicks, like using Vin or Lucky as the Ice Creams or Bloc Party or whatever.

 

I do know Thunderfrog was Icarus. And I always assumed alot of the killed off characters were going to be reintroduced with new gimmicks.

Not since Latvian Proud Oak as far as I know, think he is just gone from CHIKARA for now.

After a long hiatus from the TEW game certain life events have gave me much more free time again. As a result of that I am getting back in to the modding game. The original base data it will be based off is the February Mr. Canada data but already a lot of things have changed in terms of revamping popularity for starters as well as changing certain workers and also adding extra promotions/workers etc. so it will be virtually unrecognisable from what it was hopefully.

 

Much like Mr. Canada himself I make data primarily for myself so stats and such are always subjective but here is an early list of the promotions I am planning on having in the first release (No release date yet as depends how fast things get done) although I am open to suggestions.

 

Just a note in other areas, some promotions such as IWA Mid South are very difficult to pin down referees etc so for game realism for the moment PJ Drummond for example will be added to them so they have a referee at all. Making sure every promotion has a referee from the start etc. for realism.

Just a little update on this, been a bit sidetracked the last few days so have not done a great deal, current worker count is 1902.

 

The promotions with rosters still yet to be fully complete are

 

IPW:UK

RPW

SWA

wXw

ICW

ICe Ribbon

JWP

MPW

REINA

K-Dojo

Osaka Pro

SENDAI

Diana

FREEDOMS

Once I manage to get these done the next thing will be making sure all companies have titles, events and the venues they run on a regular basis in the game. Then the small job of cutting probablies about 600 or so new pictures to make sure everyone will have a picture.

Speaking of Inter-Species Wrestling, the ISW tag team titles changed hands at Hoodslam Entertania III. Tremendous Investigation Inc. lost (and later regained) the ISW Tag Team titles against the Stoner Brothers (aka T-Rent and D-Unit, The Suburban Commandos).

 

"You guys are having way too much fun" -MVP to some of the workers after a match at Hoodslam. ;)

Yes this is still going ahead..hopefully some time the back end of this month for a release, got things on for the next week or so but after that I have a clear week so should be able to get quite a lot done. At the moment I am working through title histories

Yo Forlan, how's the update coming along? eagerly anticipating this update!

Been waiting for an up to date database since before WM to start a long term save! Just a few quick questions...

- What will your database do with part-timers and legends, eg, HHH, undertaker, Hogan, Flair etc? as some people release them to stop them performing n stuff

- will NXT be up to date with correct commentators, interviewers, authority figures etc?

- what pictures will you be using alongside your database? (Blue/pink,orange,grey stadium typed background)

- will Ronda Rousey be included?

 

Thanks for your work!

Hi Danko,

 

He is away on holiday at the moment though is back today I think (not 100%)

 

I can answer a couple of these for you though:

 

- What will your database do with part-timers and legends, eg, HHH, undertaker, Hogan, Flair etc? as some people release them to stop them performing n stuff - Not 100%

- will NXT be up to date with correct commentators, interviewers, authority figures etc? - As up to date as he physically can get it at time of release

- what pictures will you be using alongside your database? (Blue/pink,orange,grey stadium typed background) - A lot will be made from scratch on the blue/pink background

- will Ronda Rousey be included? - Definitely

I have now returned from my holidays which took a little longer than expected and over the next couple of days once I get recovered I will be looking at getting back to work on this. In answer to your questions..people like Taker etc. will be within the promotion as a semi active worker as that is how I prefer things myself. NXT will be as up to date as I can get it, the pictures will be on the blue/pink background as outlined by Powerful_Fox in the post above. Ronda Rousey will be included as a non wrestler yes.

Thanks for answering all my questions Forlan!

Looking forward to the release. Still haven't started a proper save yet, waiting for a decent recent update!
