Are you planning for more crossover between the TEW and WMMA corners of the Cornellverse? – Probably not, as I can’t see how a text-based game would incorporate the subtleties of MMA, particularly the striking element, as it’s not so much the moves you pick as your timing, reflexes and heart – concepts that don’t really lend themselves to a WreSpi type of game.ħ. Will there be a Wrestling Spirit style game for World of MMA? – I think 4C aren’t as popular as they perhaps should be when you consider that they’re in a very similar position to MAW, being a small promotion with a good roster and a lot of potential, it’s strange that the amount of MAW diaries outweigh the 4C diaries by a considerable margin.Ħ. Is there a Cornellverse promotion or worker that you expected to be more popular? The only major worker I can think of is Rick Law, who was meant to be a fairly bland inoffensive babyface but seems to get used extensively in a lot of diaries.ĥ. – I can’t say that any promotion comes to mind, as nearly every promotion is in the game specifically to cater to a particular type of player, so it stands to reason that there isn’t going to be a company that nobody plays as. What Cornellverse promotion or worker most baffles you with it’s popularity? I just wish more people would approach it with an open mind rather than dismissing it without playing because it’s not “real”.Ĥ.

– No, not really I think if you put enough effort and commitment into a project like that, it’s bound to connect with people. Are you surprised by the popularity of the Cornellverse? My developer’s journal that reveals new features on a daily basis will be starting sometime in November.ģ. It’s going to be based upon TEW08 given that there’s no point in reinventing the wheel, and will be jam-packed with new features. – Yes, TEW2010 will be the next release, sometime in the first few months of the year. What is your next game going to be? Is it TEW 2010? Rather than trying to force them together, which would have resulted in a disjointed game, I thought it was better to shelve the plans and go back to the drawing board at a later date.Ģ. – There were several key ideas that were going to be used as the basis for WreSpi3, and unfortunately they didn’t gel together in the way I wanted. So, to start off with a softball, what the heck went wrong with Wrestling Spirit 3? Adam was gracious enough to answer ten questions for us, so let’s get down to it, shall we?ġ. From the classic Extreme Warfare Revenge to my favorite game of all time, Total Extreme Wrestling 2008, to this year’s World of MMA 2, Adam Ryland and the good folks at Grey Dog Software are churning out some great games for the wrestling and MMA fan. If you play wrestling or MMA simulators, you have most likely played an Adam Ryland game.
