Re: SimHorseRacing at Equestricon
I totally agree. The old SIM motto still is as true as you can get with the game. I can't see very many disagreeing and shiney things, yea. Gotta flash the bling sometimes.Ashley Gibson wrote: ↑6 years ago I think that you could definitely play on the "It's not the horses that are real, but the emotions." We may be playing with a bunch of computerized codes, but it doesn't stop us from getting overjoyed, angry or even crying over them.
Perhaps another thing you could potentially do is have something where the players tell you their favorite parts, kind of like a brief call-in show. I'm visual so I get attracted to shiny things, if you don't catch my attention, no matter what you have to say, I'll only be half listening.

Re: SimHorseRacing at Equestricon
At first, I thought it was to give an idea opinion for the presentation of the sim on the day of the event, which would be sold to the audience of the game, and partly it is so.
I think the main motive of why we play is simple love horses, and the competition between them, according to race, you love to be Jockey, to be coach, to be Owner, and Breeder, simhorserace, allows you to experience, what you could be In real life, know that you can both learn to learn in the pedigre of horses, and the breeding, in parender to train, a horse, know when it is ready to compete, and know in which track, and hippodrome to do it, that's why we are Here, a binary game, with graphical environment, with a lot of effort, and human wisdom, which has a lot of human, knowing to have patience, and careful not to fail, where mistakes count, and if you have to summarize playing sim, Simple because you love horse racing
I think they need opinions because you are here, not because it is bad, in graphics, or I do not know what is perfect in life, everything has mistakes, and I think that asking managers is something that is not fair, since they Has dedicated much to give us something that does not help, or harms, according to the time you lose, or win in the game
Maybe I'm not focused on what you want to know, or what we do here, just The Steward, you could say that you have gotten in our opinions to help you

Re: SimHorseRacing at Equestricon
I would suggestion at least a few of each breed for the horse headshots.
I find the race viewer cute, myself. Updating graphics, there's not a lot of graphics that can be updated without doing a whole new thing aka the race viewer. But if you were to have a screen to put something on, having someone that knows how to do videos would be a boon. A slide show of sorts or a kind of marquee. ONly thing i can think of that explains it is a video that one of my fav twitch channel has before she starts her stream. Her's was done by one of the mods she has. He did really great imo.

Re: SimHorseRacing at Equestricon
The SIM slogan definitely rings true for me. I've been just as excited by some of my fake horse wins as I have been by riding winners in real life. The amazing community and excellent administration are the cherries on top.
Is there a strategy in place to sign up and retain new members?
Perhaps a play for two weeks and get the next two weeks with free Simperior? I really do believe in trial periods for simperior because it adds to much to gameplay and people realise they can't live without it.
Maybe x number of free CAHs if they join up at the booth and enter horses for a set amount of time?
Plus we should be firing up the new player horse programs like the MUP
Maybe also arrange for a team of simsters to man the chatroom on the day and for a few days following?

Re: SimHorseRacing at Equestricon
Maybe play some of the calls of some of the most exciting races we've had here to attract people! There must be some awesome calls from the Steward's Cup!

Re: SimHorseRacing at Equestricon
I second (or whatever) the ideas to turn silks and horse headshots into display graphics and to play some of the best race calls.

We won't have audio unfortunately, just video.

Re: SimHorseRacing at Equestricon
Honestly i wanted to create a animated intro at one point using Unity3d from a 1st person view with a camera speeding down a dirt track and at the wire having the flash of a photo finish then turning towards the board where it would announce the SC/Derby/what not and maybe show win/place/show at one point. Figured that would draw more to have something more visual than just a stream via voice.
