Version 0.99 - "IT'S A NEW GAME, YES IT IS!"

Just a massive, massive update, the largest in Pro Wrestling X history. And yes, we have the most absurd version numbering in software history. (An increase of 0.005 is normally saved for the dumbest, most obscure typo, likely in the comments. Not us, nope, no-sir-ee.)

Taking a deep breath, here's the run down:

• Entrances - When you see this for the first time, I can guarantee you'll pop. Variety is a bit limited while we build out assets, so when the novelty wears off, just tap A and you'll skip 'em.
  
  
• New match types - First blood, elimination, 2 out of 3 falls, hardcore matches have all been added. Now, a warning: when you set up the match, it will look like you can change the match rules. You can't, this is a glitch.
  
  
• Rope breaks - The cruelest, most heel of escapes has been added.
  
  
• Countouts - The most cowardly way to win a match has been added.
  
  
• Dropkick counter - Hard to time it right, but you can now counter an opponent dropkick.
  
  
• Video screens - You'll notice the video screen in the background actually broadcast your match now. WAY COOL.
  
  
• Improved arena - Robert + crew really put some work into this, the arena now looks like it holds 8,000 - 10,000 people. And the seats are actually full, but maybe we'll put in a TNA house show mode down the road. (Oh ouch, that's a low blow. DELETE DELETE DELETE!)
  
  
• CPU can grab weapons, and to be frank, it's kind of a jerk about it. If you're expecting the computer to just stand there looking at you when you get knocked down, yeah nope. He will whack the crap out of you were you're down.
  
  
• CAW snapshot - You now have the ability to save a custom CAW thumbnail for usage in the character select screen. If you want to edit them manually, these get saved to StreamingAssets\Character_SnapShots.
  
  
• Loading screens - YAH PROGRESS BARS!!!1 Yeah I know, not terribly exciting, but they look decent and you at least know if the game is loading or not. (It does really make the game feel snappier.) If you want to make your own loading background, dump them in \StreamingAssets\Loading_Screens.
  
  
• Post-match score display - YES YES YES. Another markout moment for me personally. After the match, a summary of all the stats will display. Lots of work to be done here, but the potential for a lot of fun is quite big.
  
  
• New crowd signs - Sanders/Keel and Fight Bret Fight were admittedly outdated, and we wish them well in their future endeavors.
  
  
• Audio - refinements throughout for sound effects and music.
  
  
• Voiceovers - Added new voiceovers in a lot of areas (First Blood, etc.)
  
  
• A myriad of glitches have been fixed, some of which were spotted on the September 13 Twitch Gong Show. Nothing like seeing those pop up on a live broadcast.
  
  

Whew. As always, let us know what you think. And let us know any bugs on the Steam forums.

CAGE SOON.
