Reisk@,
it'll be a surprise !
Plus I want to be sure to be the 1st one to do it that way, so I'd rather not explain it beforehand...

Majanek,
thanks !

Hi manutoo!
How do I get the 15% discount if I'm a TE2013 owner.

[manutoo]

JiJo,
right now you get 20% off which is better than 15% off...

"The following features may or may not make it into TE4, but are strongly considered at the moment :
- Single tournament mode

- Realtime scoreboard & real-time spectator mode for online matches

The single tournament mode is my biggest wish! I put my trust in you
I gna pre-order, too.


Also Manutoo, will it be possible to mod the game? Will it be as easy or even easier (e.g. tools that are needed, instructions, knowledge...)?

[manutoo]

ElNino,
Modding will be a bit easier, as I'll try to remove the need to change the GameSys.ini as much as possible when adding outfits & anims, so you'll just have to drop a folder in your Mods folder and you'll be all set ; this will ease mixing such kind of mods as well.
But it won't have dedicated tools.
And for instructions in TE2013, it's already all explained here (except the menus) => https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic29-4059.php .

I mean modding should be as easy as possible. In my personal opinion the original game is the Basis. Then mods will upgrade the game. I hate if you Need thousands of Tools to mod games. Depends if the game author wants the community to mod or if he doesn't. Do you get what i mean?

But anway, as Long as it gna be as TE2013, with those Features you have already named, it will be an amazing game

Hey Manuto, these are amazing news ! Finally we are just few months away to play this amazing game. I also downloaded and tried the practice and its much more realistic than 2013. I just want to ask and suggest, isnt it possible to release for ps4 earlier ? I believe that it will make a big effect on ps4 because different people playing, and no good tennis game there too. I watched the other tennis games on youtube and didnt buy them for ps4, but i cant wait to play tenis elbow 4 on ps4. Thanks a lot for your hard work, all the best

[polakis]

Can we mod the game on ps4?

[manutoo]

FedererDeniz,
I don't know well the console market, but my guess is that it'd be better to release TE4 on consoles once it's visually as its best, which will take time.

polakis,
I don't know much about PS4 right now, so I can't really answer... I'll do what I can to allow Modding on consoles, depending of the limitations of each platform...

Hi, looks like we'll have a great game ahead!! Can you show us pictures of the new players ?? Or at least a few ideas or concept about how they are going to be in more depth? thanks!

[manutoo]

franco_m_,
nothing has been done for the players so far. I'll look into that in a couple of months.
What do you mean about "more depth" ? If it's gameplay, the most important things are already in TEM2 and are explained in the TEM2 Dev Mini-Blog.

[franco_m_]

I meant for a player model, maybe even some animations and/or clothes, faces, etc but I understand that it's a work in progress and we just have to wait a little longer. Anyway, thanks for the reply, Looking forward for the game!

@manutoo are you going to add the game in early access to steam?

It would be nice to be able to test the game in all its development from April.
