Hey just thought id make a quick post about simulation projects, I remember years back when I was first on here I wanted to make sims to replace things that were unemulatable at the time and was just wondering how people would feel about potential new sim releases? I have been working on a couple of new projects but nothing really got off the ground since the release of Two Fat Ladies. I shall list a few of the projects that I at least got the framework on plus a few ideas that I may work on if the interest is there. Let me know what you think and if there is enough interest I may pick up/start on a project  

 

 

 

Projects I have started but by no means finished:

 

 

VF Arcade:

This is an ambitious one, the idea was to make a collection of games in one, focusing on community based 3 reelers such as Money Mad Martians, Rainbow Riches Party and Boogie Nights etc. I got the random wild pick feature working but kind of got overwhelmed with the project and stopped, the first game was going to be a sequel to Spectrum 7s known as Spectrum 7s: Neon Nights. Plenty of ideas for others too. I could fish out a screenshot for this but id have to dig out my old laptop for the project.

 

 

Star of the Show:

This was going to be a DOND replacement with a Price Is Right kind of theme. Cant see myself continuing this as DOND is now emulatable.

 

 

Cash Adders:

This was going to be a standard pub slot with 2 boards, a standard board and a snakes and ladders board. This game is in very early stages and I dropped it a while ago.

 

 

 

 

Projects I have not started but have considered:

 

 

 

A Party Games clone:

I have always loved playing Party Games at the arcades (As much as its rinsed me dry over the years) and would love to play it at home. This one has been a serious consideration for a long time

 

 

Casino Two Fat Ladies:

A simpler version of TFL were you trigger the bingo feature straight off the reels (No feature board) and get awarded a better streak for every line you win. I could probably do this somewhat quickly if the interest is there

 

 

 

Of course, if anyone has suggestions that havent been listed here then im all ears. Any feedback is appreciated and if there is enough interest ill happily start/continue a sim project

Hey Vivid,

 

It's good to see you are still around and that you are doing projects still.

 

I still have your 2 sims that you did years ago as I remember beta testing them out with you.

Hi Vivid, I would be very interested in the sims you are mentioning, I would like to give some advice: Due to me having no sight at all, could the machines work using keyboard shortcuts with a text file of them in like layout creaters do with MFME? Otherwise I do not have the 2 sims you created as I didn't really know about them at the time as I have been getting so caried away with the new MFME 20.1 and testing out which layouts are blacklisted and which are now playable. Cheers.

Hello I have finished. Thank you for the feedback, my monopoly game does not have shortcuts, but its my first game and quite dated now. However Spectrum 7s and Two Fat Ladies both have keyboard shortcuts with the hotkeys listed via an in game menu, I will take note to include a text file with keyboard shortcuts in any future releases
