Hello and Thanks for Feedback

Jim Trunzo · 04-05-2002, 02:31 AM

Hello, my name is Jim Trunzo and I'm the co-designer of Title Bout/Title Fight. I would like to start out by stating how happy we are to be coming part of the .400 family.

We believe that our boxing simulation can now reach its full potential. Without a doubt, some of the blame resides with us for not delivering on all that we envisioned; however, while it may appear like whining, the truth is we have been at the mercy of an apathetic and out of reach programmer.

We are looking at this joint venture with .400 Software Studios as both a first and last chance: a first chance to have true professionals make our boxing simulation the game we've always wanted it to be and a last chance to prove that we can, when working with the right people, do it.

The comments and criticisms have been both fair and, for the most part, accurate; and we are paying close attention to the needs and wants of our customers, both old and hopefully new.

Our goal is to keep the boxing simulation as accurate as it can be, with a much more intuitive interface, while adding a more interactive layer that encompasses a role-playing, managerial, financial model for those who enjoy those areas. The emphasis will remain on the statistical replay aspect because the boxing simulation will be, first and foremost, always that - the most accurate replay sim available.

So welcome to the new era of Title Bout/Fight or whatever we decide to call it.

Thank you for your past support, keep the suggestions coming and we look forward to a strong relationship with .400 Software Studios and their fans for years to come.

I can still remember how impressed I was when
I bought the old Truco boxing game more years ago
than I care to mention. I can't wait to see what you guys can do with the resources you now have at hand. Good luck!

I'm already in line waiting for my copy!!!

If caring and concern were the main ingredients in producing a quality game, there is no doubt in my mind you guys are the right guys to do this.

The players of your game have known for some time that the game is not what you want it to be.

I am very pleased and excited at the prospects for your game now, with better programmers and another year to ponder exactly what it is you wish to accomplish.

If it would help, I would send you a check today for 10 copies of the next version of the game.

I am looking forward to what can be achieved with the right team around. I am sure it will be vastly improved and good to hear your views on the way you see it Jim.

Good luck Jim, I hope your game is very successful.

Sounds great. Knowing that you are now part of the .400 software studios almost guarantees that this game will be what the users want it to be. Good luck and I can't wait to knock Lennox Lewis on his back.

How exciting it is to be able to post messages to the people that actually create these 'games' that we love. Jim, your board game version of Title Bout pulled me through some of the darkest hours(years)of my life. I still have hundreds of pages of results and stats that I maintained from my alternate universe. The great fights between Hagler and Leonard, Ali and Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano.
I look forward with a passion to the release of your new game and am sure it will be everything you want it to be.
