The ROCKVERSE Revamped - back by unpopular demand (technically no demand at all, exactly zero demand)

Actually, he's in still in the business. He owns East Coast Pro, a smaller company that focuses on younger talent. They have a few vets that are lifers but for the most part focus on workers under 30 specifically.

Really? Good for him I guess though it seems like a step down compared to ufpw. Wonder if it will be made into a developmental territory for gew?

I must be stupid how do you download this mod? I have never tried to download a mod from the Forum before

He'll if I know. I've been trying to play this game forever but I can't figure it out.

Whoa, this looks great! Outside of building the world/mod, the direction you took with the graphics really sets this off. This speaks to my comic book heart and hooked on keeping tabs of this project. It's cool to see another fictional mod being curated and between your attention to detail in the diaries you've written down to the graphics you have produced, this willr0ck production is something to anticipate. Awesome stuff, looking forward to it.

Thank you for the praise! I am glad you dig the art style, I too am a comic book nerd, grew up drawing and always wanted to be a comic book artist, then I got my MBA, kind of went the other direction their. I was concerned people wouldn't dig the style but it looks like it's a winner. Thanks for following along!

Thank you, yes. I fell in love with this last iteration. Looking forward to this!

Awesome, it's always nice to hear when someone enjoyed the mod way back when. Here's to hopefully releasing a more complete version this time around.

Well he's not quite as rich as he once was but considering he discovered some of the most popular wrestlers in the world it kind of seemed fitting to set him up in a situation where he could use his ability to spot talent. As far as GEW, they have a developmental company; it's Sports Entertainment New England.

I haven't posted a link yet. I'll post one when I'm done with the title histories. As far as how to download from the forum, you will see the download link posted itt. I will post it in the most recent post when I upload it as well as in the first post itt.

Since there are so many people on here that weren't here in 2016 I figured it would be useful to post a few things that make the RV differ from the CV, or just some stuff that I want to highlight. So here's a few things below:

 

1. Broadcasters - there are tons of smaller broadcast options and it's a lot easier to get a tv deal if your a smaller company. I did this because there are tons of local tiny promotions that either post their shows on youtube or stream them somewhere, or they are broadcast on some small local channel in a graveyard shift time slot. You will see community channels for every area in the game as well as smaller streaming options including an Indy Wrestling Network in every region of the game. If you want to start an unopened promotion and start off with a small tv deal, you can get a tv deal.

2. Managers - kind of a lost art in pro wrestling but in the RV you will find a lot of managers and valets. From getting over the menacing giant that can't string two sentences together, to the young up and comer that needs to refine their mic skills, to anyone in between; managers are such an important piece in wrestling and one that should be featured more often. In the RV almost every promotion has a few managers or valets, and a lot of them are older, retired wrestlers with decent pop so use them to get your guys over. 

3. Narratives -  there are a ton of narratives in the RV. Don't miss them, most of them are pretty funny imo, and most of them effect the worker in question, either good or bad. 

4. Women's wrestling - there are 2 active US companies currently, and an International Alliance of sister promotions, the IWWL, that is owned by a filthy rich media group, that streams all their content on a pretty big streaming network. 

5. Starting money - a larger wrestling promotion with tv deals, merchandise, toylines, ppv deals etc. should have several million dollars in the bank. A smaller promotion started by a mega wealthy business man, or a Grammy winning rapper that has sold millions or records should also have substantial financial backing. If the ownership in question is very wealthy then the promotion in question will have a lot of money to play with. It just makes sense.  For example, GEW starts the game with $500 million dollars, they are ginormous, they should. LCUV is owned by a famous rapper, they start with $5 million, ECP is owned by the former owner of UFPW, they start with $10 million, these two companies are small, and tiny sized respectively. Again, to me it just makes sense, if you disagree, you can change it to whatever you like.

Well those are just a few things I can think of off the top of my head. Hopefully that helps some folks better understand some of things that help make the RV somewhat unique.

Mannnnn I just re-downloaded TEW for the first time in a few years and was wondering if the Rockverse ever got completed. New art style is aces too. Looking forward to it.

Looking through the updated DB I realized that I totally forgot to redo the graphics for the IWWL North American roster, belts, etc. Whoops! So I've been doing that the past couple days. Since the backstory for the US doesn't really have much about the women's scene I figured I would do one roster reveal and I figured why not just do IWWL North American since it's fresh on my mind. So for anyone interested in what a roster may look like including stables, championships etc. Here you go:

 

 

IWWL North America

Alliance Titles

Regional Titles

 

Roster

Staff

Ashton Miles            Milton Lewis             Sheila Dawson   

Workers (Including Managers)

Kandy Kane              La Agonia              Mariah Maestro             Kaydence Lee

Valentina Dame             Starlight St. John             Maisy Malone             Felicity Foxxx 

Paloma Sanchez             Rosalee Lopez          Charlee Rave             Aliyah

Estrella Azul                       Alani                              Sefina                          Corvina Carnage

Aviannni Strong             Armani Stone                    Jinx 

Coach Brynn               Eleanor Treadway              Nora McIntyre

Angelica                     Diabolical Debbie

Dagan Domingo                  Banshee                            Siren                                Sage

Hey @willr0ck!

1. That violet leather strap is gorgeous
2. Pretty sure that, grammar-wise, it should be La Agonia instead of El Agonia
3. You already have plans for the Euro scene? I think it's pretty unrealistic in CVerse, so it wil be another nice thing to differ RockVerse from the original db. Just in case you need some help planning it, I'm from Italy so maybe I can give you my point of view

I thought if the feminine word had a a or ah sound then you use El but apparently that doesn't apply to names. Been awhile since I've been in a Spanish class. As far as planning the Euro scene. I'll hit you up once I start working on that region.

I am aware, I don't add any accentuation in the DB because it  tends to give me errors, so I just leave it out. 

[NarrZiss]

Wow. What a surprise.

 

I love the first Rockverse-Mod. I had so much fun booking NHEW. The graphics are something new, but it looks really good.

[The Swanton825]

Man, it's been so long since I worked on the bios that I honestly can't remember which ones I did lol. If my creations are all my children, then I'm a deadbeat dad.

I thought the same thing about the graphics when I made the choice to change them up but they grew on me after a bit and now I absolutely love them.

Thanks, not sure on an ETA. I just need to finish the title histories and double check a few things and the US region should be ready for a release. I don't want to put a hard timeline on it because real life stuff can get in the way so I'll say sooner rather than later.

I will probably update the backstory for other countries as I get close to closing out a region so once I'm almost done with the USA title histories I'll go ahead and post up another region's backstory. And sure, if you want to see some roster reveals I can do that. I'll get one up tonight.

As somebody who is desperate to play something brand new, I am really excited for this. I have never seen this before. The style looks amazing and the backstory is really interesting. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

Glad you guys are excited for the release!

 

I haven't had much time to work on this this week as it's my wedding anniversary and if I didn't plan something awesome for the wifey I would be sleeping on the couch indefinitely, and my couch isn't comfortable enough to become my permanent bed. With that being said if you guys want to see another roster reveal I will be more than happy to do another one. Let me know, and if yes, let me know which one you want to see.

Personally, I would like to know more about the Battle Valkyries promotion.
