Ringside Booker: Game Over

I am a little bit sad, but also slightly relieved to say I’ve decided to stop grinding away on Ringside Booker. It was taking shape relatively nicely, and it was probably the cleanest code I’veContinue reading

Ringside Booker – 2024 notes and general update

It’s a good thing I don’t think anyone’s waiting on this game with bated breath. When I started learning Unity back in 2016, my “competitors” were the TEW Series, and the Smackdown vs Raw seriesContinue reading

August – 3D!

We have cool things! Now I am less embarassed about my screenshots. The tictacs are long gone, but the heroes were battling in an arena of sad prototypage! But no more!

A match card showing that this match has 4 teams, and 8 people in total. The teams are walking down to the ring as pairs.

July – Aces and Eight-Person Tags!

Busy month! Lots of good things happened in life, so less happened on the game front, but I’ve consolidated a lot of things, and finalised most UI code for the core gameplay! The look ofContinue reading

A random picture of the game. It has nothing to do with the forums, and shows a few people walking around a blocky building from a top-down perspective.

It’s the Phenomenal Forum!

We now have a jazzy new forum to talk all things about this game, and anything else!

3D wrestlers wandering around my game, and a much tidier UI.

UMA-ga!

This escalated quickly. I started with a little tidy up… and ended up with a 3D character system! Big big big month! 🙂 This picture sums up a lot of it:

A wrestling arena, viewed from a side/topdown perspective. On the right is an ugly UI box titled Character info. It has buttons to display General, records, and relations. In this screenshot, some badly formatted text lists the matches that Brock Lesnar has had in the game so far. He has lost to Chris Jericho on and Triple H in his two matches.

Hisdory Funk!

Huzzah! Basic match history is in!

A screenshot of a screen in the game. The title is "Save editor test." It's currently editing a character called "The Rock, Dwayne Johnson" (any similarity to persons is coincidental), and they have an overall score of 73.

Navigation (aka “Hell in a Cell”)

Hello, sorry it’s been a bit of time between updates. It’s been a bit of a piecemeal kind of time, with a lot of small and boring changes as well as a big rewrite. I’m now back onto the match booking system at last! 🙂

A screenshot of my game, with panels showing the match card and a information about one of the two wrestler pawns that are selected. The selected pawns are glowing to show they are selected.

Happy new year! 🙂 I have had a draft of this post for a few weeks, and feel like I’ve hit a point where what I’m saying won’t change the next day! The main focusContinue reading

Ringside Booker – boring but busy!

Hello! 🙂 I have been chiselling away at the UI system recently, and whilst it’s all cody nerd stuff, it’s all very important and I look forward to sharing things soon!
