wow. can't imagine what this could be. a tease for sure!

PepeSylvia · 02-24-2021, 03:50 PM

Excited to see what it is. I don't think it will be stadium building because it wouldn't take so much manpower unless they tore down what they did in 21 and redid the whole thing.

Maybe player development changes or relocation?

graphics usually need a lot of heavy lifting I'm thinking an improvement in that area.

My guess - Either moving to 64 bit or the process of making the game available in Korean language.

Oh I’d love that job! But I'd get fired for being off topic myself! Or for letting my OOTP save distract from work like it does now...

64 bit is a good guess! Unless they're introducing virtual reality...

My guess is KBO and possibly Nippon license which means full history and full stats for these leagues.
That would require a decent amount of manpower I’d assume.

That is my wish... hope the increase manpower will result in wonderful animations.

I remember Markus once saying that writing stories was the most time consuming part of the game.... any chance that might involve a lot of manpower ???

As a former text writer for OOTPD, I can confirm that there's a fair amount of effort involved in adding storylines to the game. But, although I'm not a programmer, I'd say technical programming type things and larger scale features are more involved and complex.

I've been waiting for this for years! Pretty sure Markus mentioned this as a possibility 3 or 4 years ago. Been patiently waiting ever since

Edit: Sorry, it was Lukas. Not sure why I thought it was Markus.
