    Re: Gridiron Heroes: TecMMO Super Bowl Reborn! OFFICIAL THREAD

    Unity3D has some interesting performance idiosyncrasies, but once you get used to them, it is pretty useful for putting together things very quickly. I know first-hand how powerful it can be too; the last few games I've worked on at SRRN Games - Ash II: Shadows, Ash [Android version], and Always Outnumbered: Survival - have all been built in Unity3D. The ability to deploy cross-platform with minimal headaches is a huge plus.

    What sort of engine were you all using beforehand? Proprietary? Some other licensed tech?

      Yes, it was proprietary. Which at first was awesome, but then not so much. Adding netplay was going to be a monster headache. We need scalability as well. Insert Unity3D.

          Not to derail your thread, but: awesome! I hope you enjoy it

          I'm still keeping my eye on progress you make here and will be sure to check this out once it's done.

            If it gets us closer to this game it's a great thing. I'm pumped.

            I'm very OK with the graphics, especially for this type of strategy game.

              Unity Update #2

              <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hx7L5kB3ais?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hx7L5kB3ais?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

              Another update! Here are more examples of recent progress!
              1. Football icon shows up (Blit texture)
              2. Text shows up (Draw text)
              3. Text color changes (Overlay mesh)
              4. icon moves up, down, left, right (Get input and process input)

              It doesn't seem like much, except that all of these methods are used to run the main game (excpet sound) and are also used on this screen. So, if a method works here, it will always work.

                    Will logos be customizable?
                    I apprehend why you can't put them in, but will we be able to put the NFL logos in on our own?

                      The logos are customizable, but you are not able to upload pictures of your choosing. This is specifically to disable the use of trademarked properties, ie NFL logos, NCAA logos, etc. If/when we can get permission for use of these, we will make them available.

                              Sorry for the lack of updates in this thread. TONS of boring backend stuff going on. Hopefully a good announcement this weekend!

                                Dave, sorry if this has already been asked or answered.

                                What length of quarter options will we have?

                                In head to head exhibition games will we be able to print out stats?

                                Can you only have one team per Facebook account?
