Update

How about an Update on what's next for the Game in terms of bugfixes and features?

[simworldcreate]

I've got a few fixes to make and will take a look at any other improvements that can be done over the next couple of days.

[fredreed2000]

Have you looked at my other suggestions on extending the way a fighters contract is done? You might want to to maybe have as a slider like say 1 to 20 fights and and have another slider for years like 1-5 years maximum. Plus maybe like a box for like a percentage of winnings from the fight Itself.

How about some more buttons instead of just the two. The buttons would be 1 to 5 years and 1,3,5, 10 & 15 fights. I would also put this into the contract extension page. This feature would give a lot more options. Like if you want to bring in a fighter for one fight to help build up a fighter or evaluate a fighter for 3-5 fights or lock them down for a long contract to save money if their popularity is rising fast.

I will get those done, hopefully over the next few hours and then upload to steam. Thanks.

Extra buttons are in for shorter and longer contract lengths. I did look at sliders but I don't think they'd fit very well inside the signing box, also looked at pull down menus that might be a good choice if putting in a lot more options. Hope that gives you a bit more choice in contracts decisions.

I like your ideas. Have you looked at MMA from greydogsoftware to get some ideas on further development of your game. You don't really have to add the same ideas but maybe get some new ideas.

[simworldcreate]

I did play WMMA 4 quite a while ago and took a look at WMMA 5 on someone's youtube video. I remember the developer started with a wrestling game, it might be fun to see how far he's developed these games just out of interest. Thanks for all of your suggestions.

[fredreed2000]

What is sad is that greydogsoftware is no longer coming out with newer versions of the WMMA series. So this game is the best out now that actually is the best when compared to WMMA. What makes MMA president better is that this game is quite similar In style but not being able to add more then 25 companies I think is a real shame because In WMMA you can have as many companies as you like In the game and you can't In MMA president.

[simworldcreate]

Yep it wouldn't be right or interesting to develop a game that's too similar to another, all respect to the Grey Dog Software guys, they've done very well with their games and bringing different sports into the sports management genre.

Speaking of updates have you thought about having this game on the discord to get more exposure for the game you might get more people interested In buying It.

[simworldcreate]

I will take a look at discord and how to submit the game on there.

On having more companies, the companies were hard coded because of speed issues with fighter amounts. I did increase them from 15 to 25 companies. Because of the speed issues with having more fighters, 25 companies was the amount where there were enough fighters for the rival companies to regularly make their events.

It's one of those cases that by the time you reach the finishing stages of a game you then have the ability and techniques to make a far superior game if you could rebuild the base of the game. A better game having ten thousand fighters and a hundred companies with the option of removing and increasing them. And of course hundreds of more features and ways of playing the game, including fights you can see and play. Also ways of making the game easier for the casual player.

[fredreed2000]

I say that on the discord because It seems that more people join the discord then rather post on the forum on steam. I think It must be because of steam being more picky with their rules anymore. I think that people are getting very angry at steam these days over their policies on posting.

I have a suggestion for retired fighters:

1) hall of fame: if the fighter has enough popularity and big matches won in there careers you can have them viewed in a hall of fame with all there stats and highlights

2) maybe they can become staff members to higher our even a rival CEO of a company?

I know both of these might be a stretch to implement in the game now but maybe for a future reference for a second game if you will continue making these this is very well done the UI seems very smooth would love to see more content you make

[simworldcreate]

Thanks ScoobyDooJedi,

1) The retirement page somewhat gives you an idea of who the best retired fighters are but a Hall of Fame would be a great addition to a second game. It could include a generated write-up like there is on the bio that would show their best wins and title history.

2) Turning fighters into staff is a great idea, I think I had that on my long list of ideas when I started making the game. There's so many fighters that become commentators, trainers and even ambassadors for companies.

Currently I'm making something quite a bit different, a 3D futuristic detective type game. Storyline driven with some shooting action involved. Think Blade Runner city, flying cars, shootouts and chases from a side camera angle.

What is the latest on this game's status? Will you be updating It with more features or is this feature complete?

[simworldcreate]

It's feature complete apart from any bug/glitch fixes or general updates that might be needed in the future.
