Adam Ryland Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 A few people have sent me PMs asking how WMMA5 is coming along so I thought I'd do a general update post so that everyone is informed. I'm not going to give much in the way of specific details as that's what the developer's journal is for, but it should at least satisfy people's curiosity. The development is going very well at present. Coding has almost finished and initial beta testing will be starting within the next week or so. The game is playing incredibly well and is a huge leap forward from the previous iteration. In terms of a time scale, I'm still expecting the game to be out around Christmas and for the developer's journal to be starting somewhere around October \ November. This gives us time to do the testing, add all the interface graphics, and for me to write the default database (which is a much more time consuming task than people realise!).

Blackman Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I didn't realize it was already so far in development. Christmas will arrive soon enough I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity that once we've grown to like the fighters most of them will be very old to be still on top.

cymru96 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 <p>Wouldn't be the worst idea from an attachment perspective. Last game I played, I edited a few of my favourite's ages down, to keep them about a bit longer. But at the same time, I also wanna see how up and comers progress. </p><p> </p><p> Either way, cannot wait.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 35 isnt old but age deterioration is a big thing in the game. Love the feature but it's sad to see them go so soon. This isnt TEW with weekly shows. Some fighters fight 3 times before deciding to retire. Quite a bummer to immerse yourself in a universe that is fully retired 7 years in. This game plays a lot quicker then TEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
