CyberDunk.com just added the High School server in recent days and now gives those that are new to the game a chance to learn from the ground up instead of being thrown in with the "big" boys of CD. The premise for this server is to allow 'newbies' the chance to train a player from the ground up and compete with players of similar levels in order to be able to compete on a level playing field.
Even the team manager tools are simpler and lets the new player to the game learn how tactics and training work without the more complicated user interface that is now a part of CD. Don't get me wrong, the manager tactics in CD are phenomenal for the experienced player to be able to rotate players in and out of the lineup and create mismatches that allow for a more sophisticated strategy but can be overwhelming to the new manager just starting out.
Three more items of note in the games' development:
1) A new user interface is almost complete and will make site navigation even easier.
As posted on Talkdep.com -
2) A player creation tool is also almost complete. This will allow users to customize the look of their individual players including skin tone and uniform colors. More on this in the coming days!
3) Live 2D games are on the verge of being finished also. You will be able to watch a two dimensional version of the game as it's being simmed or watch it the replay at your convenience. While watching the games is entertainment enough, it has the added benefit of users being able to see exactly how their players perform in the actual game as opposed to scanning the play-by-play and stats sheet to determine the effectiveness of the player's skills and the manager's tactics. The developers, Talad and Omnem, say that the jump from 2D to 3D is relatively simple to do with programming and once the 2D version is working properly, expect the 3D version to shortly follow. Now you're talking! :D
There will be a few more announcements in the coming days and you can check them out here as I try to keep up with them....stay tuned!
