Mana Games

[martasea123]

Are you going to put a virtual reality mode?

Are you going to put alpha in early access in steam?

[manutoo]

martasea123,
1) no plan for VR for now, it may change in the future.

2) If Steam doesn't change its rules for reviews for EA games, I might not publish EA on Steam, only on managames.com .

Hi manu,

At this stage of development, do you know if will be possible to use current animations in TE4?

[manutoo]

marty2756,
it seems likely and I surely hope so, because redoing all the anims would be really hard...

Will the game come out in gog ???


You can get offline achievements ?

[manutoo]

patri,
I guess not, it's not really in the line of GoG.

And nope.

hi, in gog it is more difficult to remove games than in steam??.Ello is a shame I like gog because the games do not have drm and unlike steam you can play offline without having problems. My brother and I have about 80 games in Gog.

Thank you very much for responding and congratulations for your tennis game, it is wonderful

Hello! I am from Romania, I discovered TE 2013 on Steam this year and i bought it. I think is the best tennis game i have ever played. The game and the career mode are very realistic. I have to say i play tennis in real life (club tennis, i am not a pro) and i played many tennis games, but TE 2013 in by far the best. I became addicted to play this game.
For TE 4 i have only 2 sugestions:
1. Use the real players in the original version of the game. I installed Sam s version, which is really great, but i don t know if there will be another user who will have the determination to do again such a work and offer to the others for free,
2. Improve the online game mod. I don t make it to host games, and as a guest, it s dificult to fiind a player who wants to play with me. I think you should build a server or something. I have no problem to play online any other game, like FIFA, NBA, Virtua Tennis, etc.
Congratulations for your work and i m sure the new game will be a great succes.

patri,
you can play the Mana Games' version if you don't want DRM...


timisoreanul,
1) To have the visual of the real players, it requires official license, which is out of my budget
2) I have planned to add a push-through server which should solve 90% of the connection issues

realtime spectator mode for online matches

This sounds interesting, no additional lag for the two players competing?

[manutoo]

Stajus,
it shouldn't create any lag ; bandwidth used by the game is about 2KB/s in upload. Your game will be sending the .dmo directly to managames.com which should cost you an additional 4KB/s, and then watchers will be downloading the .dmo from the server, so it'd not influence your game even if there are hundreds of watchers.

Manu, can you post something new, maybe? - any screenhot from game, grapgics, layouts - anything visible?

[manutoo]

noname1988,
here's a screenshot of WIP TEM2 new design, that will be similar to TE4.



And here screenshot of the new UK Slam Stadium. Geometry is final, but rendering might change a bit, especially in term of lighting.

[Sali_O296]

Hello Manu, will be there more types of stadiums in TE4?

[manutoo]

Sali_O296,
it should have nearly 20 stadiums in TE4.
