Recreating the RTTS backend

SDS

Just thinking about the non-gameplay elements involved in RTTS and if it were to be recreated, what would be involved. Starting a list here.

  • the player object and all of its contractual data, stats, and appearance, behaviour, and skill attributes (obviously)
  • relationships between players - how feasible is it to expand this beyond the RTTS player to NPCs relationships with each other? Difficult given that exisiting relationships are at varying unknown levels. Perhaps start with a baseline ‘friendly’ level?
  • personality types and progress in each personality tree
  • franchises, teams and players and the relationships between them.
  • interactions with manager, GM, agent and other players
  • social media feed
  • the draft

Please feel free to add to.

Everything you mrntioned has been put into the game half assed

Out of the Park (OOTP) had a great older game called Inside The Park that really did a great job with letting you roleplay as a player trying to get into the majors. You had to save up for equipment, develop a training routine schedule to maximize your stats, neat things like that.
