Rick Arnold Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I was just wondering if your future sim projects are only going to be those related to sports, or will you pursue other projects that bring original and fresh ideas to the Sim Community?

chammer39 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I personally would like to see a college football sim. While I was writing I though about a bowling sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Arnold Posted September 12, 2004 Author Share Posted September 12, 2004 Well I was asking about non-sports... I think what I'm saying is if you're looking into bringing on fresh and original non-sports sims, like a 'TV Program' Sim or a 'Software Company' sim. And stuff like that, as I know 400 Software Studios was always looking for independent developers. *EDIT* Nevermind, my question was answered.

Craig Edwards Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 well sport sims are the big thing right now as they are easy to do and alot of people like to run there team and stuff. A TV Program sim and Software Company sim would be really hard to make to have high replay . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Clover Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 To try and answer your question: Our first objective is to focus on the talents of the three awesome developers we currently represent. Our Mission Statement states our stance: "When it came time to decide what we wanted in our gaming company, it was easy. The company had to be about the games. Games we would be proud to have our name on, games that innovate, games that deliver all that is promised, and games you would want to play over and over again. No gimmicks, just the best games we can make." Our goal is to make great games. Each person involved has very high aspirations for Grey Dog. So, in every business decision we make, we will ensure that our products are solid and represent what we believe in, which is making only [I]the best [/I] games. Thanks for the feedback.

chammer39 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 A good solid college football sim would be cool. Rankings, bowls, recruiting, I-A and I-AA so playoffs too, offseason development, stadium enhancement, conference enhancement, etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Congrats on the new company! If I may step into cautious guidance counselor mode for a second... I will assume that one of the future projects will be a football sim for a moment. ;) Now, I know the instincts might tell you that you need to out-do TPF; come up with something bigger, better and brighter. Something full of bells and whistles; I beleive that's what you people call 'innovative'. I [i]urge[/i] you to step back and start small. Build a basic football game with a very good engine. A small, flexible game that simulates [i]football games[/i] rather than the NFL specifically might be the best starting point. Then each year it can get more complicated. In the end, it is up to you to make the games your way; it is, after all, your company. But it is my feeling that a smaller game with fewer bugs is what GD needs to start out with. Oh, and for Farrah's sake; don't release anything before a holiday weekend, anniversary, baptism, etc. Just my 2 cents. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkfire Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I'd love to see a hockey sim, since we can't see hockey (Runs out of the rooms balling, huggin his hockey stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Parent Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I think I oughta re-word my post. I don't want to play it, I'd want to work on it. And these gentlemen don't look like they'd need me. There was another hockey sim, created by someone from Finland. It was decent from what I can remember.

Paul Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 a hockey sim would be awsome, however the competition is fierce especially in SI's Eastside Hocky Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Parent Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 [QUOTE=Tim Tellean]If you know enough (or want to learn) to put together a game GDS will look at it.[/QUOTE] Very Interesting. I don't claim I can program anything worth 30$ or even 30 cents of anyone's money, or even 30 minutes of their time for free right now, but I've been working on sim data for 5 years (I was a tester in TEW and in Adam Ryland's upcoming "Wrestling Spirit") and I've always wanted to do my own game some day. And it so happens that I lost my job (which had nothing to do with programming) a week ago and now have a lot of time on hands. Now there's already an outstanding programmer doing outstanding wrestling games and even if competition ain't a concern for me, I'm NOT going to munch away at the hand that made me, so I won't ever do a wrestling game. I wouldn't even dare. There's only one Adam Ryland, and the other wrestling games are useless. But a hockey game...going against Sega and Eastside....you know, that's a good idea. It's worth the effort of learning how to program correctly. I like the challenge. But, they're professionals, and I'm an amateur that probably puts that title to shame. I have VB6. I know hockey like the back of my pocket. I can do the data that goes with the game, no problem, been there and done that in WRESTLING games, and believe me, it's harder to do wrestling stats than to do any sports' data if only because there's actual statistics in sports and not in wrestling. But a game....that's another story. But I can study. And try. I can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
