Welcome to Wrestling Gamers United Newsletter #466
1) PWX Progress 2) PWX gets Big Apology 3) Free 80's Mod
1) PWX Progress ************** Our latest build this week showed a lot of progress. Everything is just getting tighter and tighter. It's still a bit of a slog every time we have to make changes because we didn't develop any real artist tools. So every time a change needs to be made (as simple as a moveset change even) it has to be done directly in the source code of the engine and other data files. And adding rope physics recently uncovered previously unseen problems with ringside and apron move alignment. It's all good and we're hammering it all out. It's been a good week and this next week will progress even faster.
2) PWX gets Big Apology ***************** It's not everyday someone on the innernets offers me a public apology. Over at Axe Bomber that's just what happened. Axe Bomber's editor, Sonnybone, recently posted a very cool and sincere apology to PWX fans, the crew, and to myself personally for all the crap he's apparently given us over the years:

I graciously accept and no hard feelings. I recently answered some excellent and tough questions for a future Axe Bomber piece on the state of PWX and I'm personally glad to have any ill will behind us. We all just want to support better wrestling games after all.
... but does this mean it's my turn to apologize to THQ?
3) Free 80's Mod *************************** There is a HUGE free mode full of classic 80's kayfabe era wrestlers and content available for Wrestling Encore which is also freely available. The mod doesn't improve or change game play but the amount of content in it is staggering. I can only hope someone puts half as much energy into a similar mod for PWX one day.

In the meantime and in between time, that's it, another edition of Wrestling Gamers United.
