Updates & Tycoon Times


Skenoj

Recommended Posts

Honestly i think that no one quits because of game engine. Basically no matter what changes there is always problems with engine. So best solution would just stick with current and maybe make really small tweaks.

 

Tycoon has been basically running like 10 years and this is still kind of first season. There isnt any new expasions or anything else that would have made kind of reset. In majority of games best part is that beginning when people focus and put time to be best. After all these years its still same. Honestly i would enjoy tycoon more if tomorrow all would start over. Not gonna happen tho..

Let me ask what do you want to see updated. Game engine enhancement is to broad of a category.

 

The current update plans are to try and get weekly small updates done and then do quarterly larger updates. This isn't a standard game with an application to hold all the updates and just build a separate application to replace it for very major update. This style of game has to be updated in single settings as it's 100% web based.

I will give you Mike hasn't been very forward on updating recently and he has admitted this as well, however he wants to get back into it and it's not going to be massive update after massive update. He is also not going to turn the game into a pay to play system which is what most games turn into in order to afford the ability to continually provide those engine overhauls and massive updates several want.

Just the engine updates that he said were "nearly done" multiple times and yet have never surfaced. Physicals cap would be the most obvious one.

 

I think we've gone far past the tipping point in terms of the game ever getting back to the days when their were lots of players very passionate about the game. Unfortunately, Mike lost interest with one of the worst iterations of the fight engine in place.

It is suprisingly funny to see that there are still people who believe that Mike's attitude towards the game would change.

 

Let's be real, this is probably the 10th time when the newspaper gets "revived" and probably the 5th time when Mike "comes back willing to do updates" after being busy with real life. And this is just for the short period that I have been playing.

 

A potential reset would make the game interesting for a short period. Once the PPV orgs start rolling, there again will be too much money circulating around, resulting in the same state the game is now.

There is a difference between playing and checking the forums once in a while. Still, this has nothing to do with the topic of the conversation and with my right to express an opinion.

Frankly speaking, i would be more than happy to get these small updates done, the newest one is a nice little addition that only enhances the game. All these people asking for "resets, or lets change the whole economic model, or lets change the fight simulator" i think all those are not only complicated and controversial, they are also potentially hazardous for the member base. Simple but regular little changes is the way to go. Put it this way, i am not going to complain when a good new feature gets added, like some people in this post are doing.

Any update is better than no updates, let's see where this goes. I'm happy to see something happening, but won't be counting on a major fight engine overhaul anytime soon.

 

I don't know that a major overhaul to the fight engine is needed. little tweaks here and there should keep it on an even keel.

Posted in the developer forum:

This could go in the fight engine improvements thread but I thought a lot of people would miss it if I put it there.

Anyway, I really think it would be a big improvement to have two different types of takedown / takedown defense; from range (i.e. shoot takedowns) and in the clinch.

1. In real life they are very, very different skill sets, so I think it's a lot more realistic.
2. It's more skills so we can bring down the average skill without actually taking any total points off anyone.
3. People say strikers need less skills than ground guys to be effective. Well, if you had two different takedown types then the grappler could get away with only one of those, whilst the striker would need both to avoid being taken down by different opponents, who would specialise in each type of takedowns.


We're bringing in the physicals cap to add variety to physicals, so we are going to have a points reallocation for that. It would make sense to just do this at the same time, so we didn't have two different re-allocations.

What I'd really like is for you guys to go "OK cool, do it" but I'm expecting a bit of push back, so fire away :)



No not abandoned at all. A lot of it is done.

In the interest of openness though, I am currently spending all my time working on VIP features for Bet MMA. It should be a couple of weeks max till that's done, then I'll be back on Tycoon stuff.



If a lot of it is done, and your new spokesman crzy105 says you are back to working on the game, why not just finish this update?

At this point we all realize this is a hail mary, but if publicized maybe some of the many players who went silent in the last year or three will come back and give the game one last try. The minor changes crzy is saying you are talking about arent going to do a damn thing for your bottom line.

It would be funny to see what those 30 managers are doing and talking.

 

 

I think something that really needs change is private gyms.

Basically managers had 10 fighters at beginning and now i have 30 slots. So its kind of must to have gym, i have two at the movement.

 

Just make public gyms better. People would also make more public gyms if those would be more effective. Also many managers with private gyms could drop those and maybe make org or something.

When gym is public maxium cap could be 4000 points(1000more) or 14coaches(two more). Also it would be easy to give more money to gym business by any kind of way.

 

Also it would be maybe nice to have some kind of new company?

 

 

 

Upcoming possible relocation seems like great change to ruin fighters. When we got escapes and transitions, i changed Renato from grappler to striker.

In short: Zzzzzzz.

 

At first there was plenty of talk but apart from some cosmetic additions nothing has been done on the update front. You kinda start to lose interest to suggest anything if nothing (important) gets done.
