@dotGrix Cool stuff man, looking forward to any progress on this!

[Grix @dotGrix]

Not really an announcement, but kind of? I'm starting to build my version of what a wrestling game should be.

Goals & things:
- I'm using the S&box engine.
- User generated content only (full mod support/driven), garry's mod but wrestling
- My goal is to replicate Def Jam's gameplay, but basics first.
- PC
- Full transparent dev process here, it's easier, I hate running social media accounts, this app sucks.
- I'm using placeholder animations, if you're an #animator and looking for $-$-$ work, dm me here or discord.

Again, basics first, no turbo caw mode online swirly fire barbed wire ladder modes anywhere near this.

This is in my free time, don't hype it, I'm in no rush.

@paynexkillerYT @TheJoeyDaylight We have a late 2000 to mid 2001 mod for SD2 planned with @Seanomaniac. We're still finishing the 1999 mod so it will be a while before the new one comes out but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

@hstine777 Thank you! Yukes worked on WWE games for quite a long time, from 1999 to 2018 I think. Some of the earlier 2K games were still developed by Yukes before 2K switched to the current developer.

A certain bad guy is coming to #SmackDown2 with Inspired Patch 1.3 😎

Early access available now - https://t.co/U8YhJsvhLq

[Inspired Wrestling @InspiredSD2]

@hstine777 Yukes definitely went the extra mile with adding more moves for them! I'm also planning to port some of their signature moves from PS2 SVR games, like the Corner Knee Strikes and Snake Eyes for Nash and the Diving Bulldog for Hall.

[Inspired Wrestling @InspiredSD2]

Inspired Patch 1.4 added moves from JBI, SYM and HCTP to #SmackDown2. Version 1.5 will have moves from #SmackDownVsRaw games up to SVR 2011! Here are just a few of the upcoming ported moves.

A simple test of expanding the entrance themes in Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2.
Just a straight port of the #WM2000 themes into #VPW2

@Taz1096 Thanks a lot for the support man! I'll do an announcement soon too ;)

[Inspired Wrestling @InspiredSD2]

@NMCM_SD2LeGeNd BAH GAWD KING! The match has been going on for 7 hours! Somebody stop the damn match!

[NMCM @NMCM_SD2LeGeNd]

Progress on the conversion. Backstage - 1208/1678 textures done. To get the screenshots I simmed this anywhere falls match and no one was pinned. So, expect some competitive matches.

[Inspired Wrestling @InspiredSD2]

@NMCM_SD2LeGeNd Same for me! Core gameplay and the season mode is what I like the most about SD2.

[Inspired Wrestling @InspiredSD2]

Someone just straight up fucking told me that titantron videos are "the best thing" in SmackDown 2. Dude, I just can't at this point 😭

[Inspired Wrestling @InspiredSD2]

@NMCM_SD2LeGeNd I still can't get over that reflection on the ramp. Kendrick did an awesome job on it!

[NMCM @NMCM_SD2LeGeNd]

Lots of progress in converting textures over to the latest version of Duckstation. The toughest part will be figuring out how to get around the textures that may need to be dumped differently to be replaced (like the upper ramp and sides of the stage).
