Sim Center: Where
do you live?
Rockstar: In wales, Near
Cardiff
Sim Center: Which (if any)
names or aliases do you prefer to go by and how much and what kind of contact
do you encourage from game fans?
Rockstar : I use "THE ROCKSTAR"
as my alias, it's also the wrestler in the game which is me. i'd like any
sort of contact from fans, ideas for the game or site would help... but
so far your the only person to get in contct with me
Sim Center: What ideas have
you taken from other various simulators and put into Total Attitude Wrestling?
Rockstar: none really,
my game is an RPG, so i've had nowhere to get ideas from,
Sim Center: How long have
you been a sim fan and who first introduced you to them?
Rockstar: i've been a sim
fan since i first got my PC (the christmas before last i think) and i found
the EXTREME WARFARE site and got EW9000, since then i've been sorta hooked
Sim Center: Do you prefer
sims that use text or sims that use graphics? What is your opinion
of the freeware/shareware/ choice for sims?
Rockstar: i prefer sims with
some pictures because i think they're more interesting, i've only actually
got freeware sims but i think that using shareware isn't a good idea unless
you know that someone out there will acually want to pay for your games.
Sim Center: Are there any
tips, suggestions or recommendations you would give to other authors or
aspiring authors? Do you have any likes or dislikes about any particular
programming languages or operating systems?
Rockstar: this is only my
first game but i would suggest looking at making some other sort of game
that isn't like any others, also i would say to not go straight to a more
complex language straight away, Basic is a good place to start i think
Sim Center: Are there any
sims that stand out, in your mind, that are particularly good or bad or
even unusual?
Rockstar: i think federation
online stands out to me because of the way it is the only game where you
get to actually have a hand in the outcome of the events
Sim Center: Finally, are
there any other words of advice or suggestions you'd give to budding authors
or programmers interested in creating a sim?
Rockstar: Start with something
simple and then build on it
Sim Center: thanks
