Pro Wrestling X News

Well, it only took about 100 years but we are FINALLY shipping our physical rewards for our last Kickstarter campaign. Seriously, THANK YOU to all of our ricockulously patient supporters who helped us do the work to get on to Steam Early Access in the first place. We work for YOU.

Hey everyone!

In case you missed it on social media, here is a link to a recent video showing behind the scenes work we're doing for the next update. The crew and I hope you dig it and invite you, as always, to leave brutally honest comments and advice for us. THANK YOU!!

1) Tables and?!
*********************
While I was putting a new update video together for y’all I found myself constantly watching the same two second clip over and over and over. On the surface it appears to be a simple powerbomb through a table and I guess it is. But as I watched it and thought about the little details going on in the background and what they all meant I couldn’t help but repeatedly mutter, “holy shit...fucking hell”, with every view.

video here:

That is NOT a canned animation of a breaking table you’re looking at. That is a table reacting to a powerbomb impact with real-time physics. It will break differently every time. The pieces will fly in different directions with different speeds every time. They will react with other objects like the wrestlers and the ropes differently every time. Even after the pieces are done moving they will still react to new collisions with the wrestlers in real time. And those wrestlers are not breaking through that table with a canned animation. The wrestler will be affected by the force of the impact and the breaking table pieces in real time with ragdoll physics. When the move ends and the ropes are in the way? The wrestlers react in real time. Check out that foot on the rope at the end of the move. It wasn’t animated that way! That rope break situation was the result of the ragdoll physics leaving his foot on the rope. WHAT!?! The table pieces even slide off the wrestler with real time physics as he gets to his feet again.

If you’re a hopeless dreamer like myself then you’re probably already imagining possible new gaming scenarios in your head. You’re probably thinking back to your favorite TLC matches. Japanese Death Matches. Cage variations. Clockwork Orange House of Fun. Unique interactive venues. Yes, we have a ton of work to do on the basics. But the insanely creative and talented duo of our lead programmer and artist has just produced playable proof that what we’ve all been told is impossible in wrestling games since the dawn of time...is now possible in Pro Wrestling X.

Holy shit...


2) Question of the Week
***************
Cena and Bryan have reportedly refused to participate in the Crown Jewel show and have been written off the show. What do you think? Do you respect their decision and agree with it, or do you think they are stupid assholes who just committed career suicide?

1) More New Stuff!
*********************
Got a lovely early morning surprise a few days ago from our lead artist. He completed a nasty Tombstone Piledriver just in time for some Halloween promotion along with an alternate attire for PWX’s original Grimhold character AND a completed entirely new character that we’re simply referring to as the ‘ninja’. Or is he really just a collection all new CAW parts that might accidentally be able to be arranged into a damn fine Hayabusa CAW? Can’t prove it ;)


2) NVidia Shield TV Support
****************
Sweet! Thank you to Joshua for letting me know about Pro Wrestling X working well NVidia Shield TV!

“Hey just to let you know, your game works on the Nvidia Shield TV with the Steam streaming beta. I thought that was really cool when i tried it. In order to make it work you either have to use the right analog stick as a mouse to launch the game or use an external but still really cool nonetheless.”


3) Question of the Week
***************
The lead programmer behind Pro Wrestling X, our savior, our 4th Horseman, DA MAN, is being interviewed for an upcoming podcast. Any questions you’d like to ask him?


4) Quote of the Week
********************
“Sometimes the only time you can grow is by throwing away everything everyone says is right, fair and acceptable. Sometimes you just gotta say, I’m doing this because it’s right for me. It’s right for my family. And it’s right for everyone else- they just don’t know it yet- or they refuse to admit it. Sometimes being the bad guy means you’re the only who’s the right one in the room. Sometimes you gotta just stand up and say enough, even when no one else sees what’s wrong. Sometimes, the empty walk down the hallway is the best thing that ever happened to you. Don’t ever confuse solidarity with exile. Don’t even confuse defiance for treachery. Don’t ever confuse youth for inexperience. Feeling content is great- on your deathbed. No one should be punished for fighting tooth and nail for their dreams. I will never stop fighting. It’s not a threat. It’s not a promise. It’s a fact.” -Patrick Hickey Jr.

1) Plancha!
*********************

Sooooo last week’s soft launch of Pro Wrestling X on Mac has gone well?! No reports of major performance clusterfucks or Macbooks getting bricked? NICE! The Steam Mac publishing process has been Eric’s mortal enemy for a long time but he finally slayed that beast. If all continues to go well you can expect a Mac version of every update going forward. It doesn’t require any time or energy from our programmer or artist to export to PC and Mac. In fact, our animator has been busy creating more highly requested basic moves to add to future updates. For example, you’ll soon be able to dish out some damage to your opponent with a sick plancha instead of simply climbing out of the ring. Good times!

Hey, how old are you? I’ve got a theory about our supporters that I need your help to hopefully confirm. THANKS!
