If you prefer a tutorial made specifically to be a tutorial, here's one that's popular in one of the dedicated aurora discords. Never watched them myself though.

Thank you. I tried following along but I have a hard time playing and listening simultaneously; still good source and I'll find some use out of it none the less.

OddObserver posted:

Also the beam warship tutorial on Aurora4x wiki is helpful, as it discusses a bit how to match up sensors and guns.

Thank you as well. I dig through the wiki and it's definitely dense, with lots of good info. I've actually been reading a couple finished LP's of the game and it's been helpful.


Anyways, I appreciate everyone responding back to me, definitely helps.

No opinion on the tutorial itself, but that youtuber has a good taste in vidyagames based on his desktop icons (though shamefully he's missing grog ones).

No issue with Yahoo as a service (wait, a third party service?!) but if they're doing a thing where they're emailing out codes manually they're surely keeping some personal info locally accessible, no?

I don't think so, if I was them and was stupid enough to go down this whole path in the first place I'd just match yahoo confirmation codes to an email and then send the key to that email.

So yes they're storing your email but lol if you think your email address isn't all over the internet.

So with all the RTW2 waiting going on, I've had time to ponder other niche games. The NWS guys can't be the first people to operate in a unique niche and find success. Oh boy, did I find a jackpot.

TOTAL EXTREME WRESTLING 2016

Yes, the caps are required. My keyboard will not type this out unless it's all caps.

quote:

Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 is the seventh and best game in the award-winning TEW franchise by Adam Ryland and Grey Dog Software. Bigger and more packed with enhanced features than ever before, the game takes its extremely popular predecessor TEW2013 and adds over 500 new features and improvements, including many long-awaited additions requested by the fans themselves. With new options that allow users to tone down the complexity of the game, TEW2016 is the ideal jumping on point for new fans too!

All of this can be yours for... $34.95! You will need, at the bare minimum, Windows XP. Sorry Windows 95 Wrestling Grogs. Oh, if you update Windows 10 it's required to uninstall the game first otherwise it eats your license. Oh, if you have a rando toolbar installed on your browser it can also eat your license.

BUT IT GETS BETTER





Bobby Brubaker, White Canadian, from Alberta Canada

quote:

World of Mixed Martial Arts 5 is the latest MMA release by developer Adam Ryland and represents the largest and most powerful game in the series. In WMMA5, you run your own MMA organization in a lively, vivid, competitive game world that evolves over time. Play with companies, fighters, and teams from all around the globe. WMMA5 contains an ultra-powerful fight simulator, giving you a blow-by-blow account of each bout. Deal with contracts, morale, promotional work, hype and more…this is the deepest MMA sim available.

It's a Mixed Martial Arts Grog Game. Literally OOTP or Football Manager but with Mixed Martial Arts. It is a manager game unlike any I've ever seen. Also $34.95. Why? Because it's the most lively, vivid, and powerful game in the series.

They also have a gladiator game, college basketball game, and a college football game. (Real football, not rest of the world football)

I'm debating about checking out the demo if the thread deems it important for research purposes.

These guys still take both money orders and orders over the phone. Best of all, they're located in Florida. This is Florida Man, but in a game studio. These guys are totally grog and probably don't even know it.

Sure its got some problems but according to the Wrestling video game thread in SA's ring sports subforum TEW is really good. Heck, TEW 2020 is supposed to have some major improvments and I might actually look into it when it comes out.

It IS dumb that the dev(s) only put older versions on steam and the latest version is exclusive to their website however.

Actually putting RTW1 on Steam might not be a bad move for NWS either, even if they are hellbent on avoiding it for RTW2.

Almost release date for Uboat.

I’m almost definitely gonna buy it, seems a little rpgish and the scope ballooned significantly since originally being “bomber crew but subs”.

But I’m still stoked, it will get me through till May 17th at the least.

WinSPMBT has a bunch of bush war scenarios. I think it even has a campaign in that setting IIRC.

They're all identical gameplay wise. Mius-Front is older than Tunisia but there's tons more content for it being pumped out so take your cues for which game Graviteam recommend.

e; Mius and Tunisia are on a newer engine than Op Star. Do wait until sales, Graviteam are cool dudes who regularly put their stuff up for anything from 50-85% off.
