Now like Dave said PWX has come to this two options: Releasing an unfinished concept of PWX and hoping that everyone will buy it so the guys can earn a 1000$ to help um for a month. oooooooR to make a "linsenced game" am I right?
Here's where I ask u what do u think PWX should do? 1) We can all give PWX 20$ for a concept (for me about 40 $ cause of all the taxes I'll have to pay) u know if I was sure that I am helping the guys and getting me a great game I'd do it. But I'm not sure. Dave said if everyone from the mail list gets a Demo the crew will have enough money to survive a month(right?).I don't think a month is enough for the guys to finish the game.
2) Second option PWX gets funding and do a licenced brand game. Now why is that so bad I mean right now the only wrestling games... actually the only sports games that aren't made with a licensed brand suck. But here's what I say make the game with a licensed brand get some money afterwards make a PWX 2 that game will be the ultimate wrestling game. As Dave has said not one time PWX will not be the greatest wrestling game ever but a PWX 2 will be way better
Now u can all vote here for what your choise is about PWX u can state your reasons if u wan't . But the greatest games that were made so far were with a licensed brand and u all know that.
In all honesty I cannot justify to my wife, or even myself, giving money to a game company to complete a game that could be piss poor. I am currently in debt due to my student overdraft. I have a crumby job working for a crumby company. So my situation makes me feel that giving money is not a viable option, and i'm sure that is similar for other people too. I'm sure some people on the boards are currently living off not a lot, and some are probably kids. A kid can get money off mum and dad for a videogame as a gift but saying "dad, theres this unknown gang of men whom I've never met whom i trust to make a wrestling game that is good, i just need to send them twenty pounds so that they can finish it off" isn't going to go down well.
I have no problem with the demo/ basic version of PWX being released nor do i have a problem with a license - in fact I'd prefer a license to no license as long as everything remains in the game (full customisability - if you get a license with to make an RoH game, for example, I want the option to edit over American Dragon if I wish).
At this point I feel were almost ready to actually earn our $20 rather than accept donations or charity. I'd feel a whole lot better taking money for a finished game at this stage than any more donations. But thanks!
Things are progressing this week. We hired a new programmer to help get done faster. And one publisher offered us a 'deal' where we would promise not to self publish anything for three months while they negotiated a contract with us. Interesting.
He needs money... Just not by charity...he runs a business,a lot of people are like him.Struggling because of his passion.That doesn't mean he is going to get free money... We all would like to help,but that's not the way...
