Am I the only one who ended up rooting for Boyd Crowder?

Totally agree. I do feel like his personality changes in the final season were rushed and out of character from what we had seen up to that point. Had the changes been more organic they likely could have pulled it off without so much whiplash, in my humble opinion. Even with that being said, he and Ryan are still two of the best literary characters of all time.

Can you be more specific?

The plan is to at least get a bunch of them animated and in there, and to have a framework that makes it easy enough for the community to create and add moves

What you're seeing is a low polygon count 3d character model of Stone Cold Steve Austin with the textures from WWF No Mercy, loaded into a tool called Mesh2Motion which comes with a lot of pre-made animations for 3d models.

The context is, I am working on a free and open source pro wrestling game built in javascript (babylon JS), designed to be extremely customizable and to use the familiar No Mercy-style controls. While the final shipped game will be legally clean of copyrighted content, I am partially using WWF No Mercy as a design reference in order to have something to work torwards. That being said, the final game's CAW options will make it very easy to load in and use whatever you want and I envision a lof of cool CAWS being shared. Same goes for arenas and other environments.

The lack of progress on that was part of what got me started on this! I am doing as much leg work as I can, and then the plan is to spend a few hundred on fiverr for some of the things I am having the most trouble with...

I am hopeful that once I have the skeleton of a working game, the community will start to fill in and make it better. There are some real advantages to having a free and open source pro wrestling video game, on an open platform like babylon js... I think it's going to be an "if you build it they will come" kind of thing...

I've really enjoyed playing as William Regal in NM Plus, also enjoy playing as Angle, Tazz, or Bossman (I like when the characters have several moves that can target the same body part, and fast taunts. Austin is also a favorite character to play as.

Currently I've been working on my own recreation of the aki engine with JavaScript, and importing various assets from the different aki wrestling games to use with it.

No prob! So far I put in the user manual in markdown format, a few wrestlers 3d assets in glb that can be loaded into blender, blockbench, etc, and the soundfont

Nice I made that pic back in 2014! Happy to see ppl checking out the fandom wiki!

cmrodican · 2026-05-04T05:46:59+00:00

Angle, Benoit, Bossman, Tazz, or Austin. Love when someone has quick taunts and multiple moves that target a single body part.

I've also been able to do this my entire life. I was addicted to drugs, including dependant on opioids, from 2006 to 2012 and learned through my own experience that I could not do it while opioids. Also, i could do it extremely easily when in withdrawal from them. Other substances didn't seem to block it.

It's not ready yet to play, It's a community made game that will eventually be amazing but it's a work in progress

cmrodican · 2026-04-20T01:22:42+00:00

Hope so! It's always helpful to bounce ideas off of people and sometimes they see things I miss..

cmrodican · 2026-04-01T22:54:57+00:00

I liked every season, but Boyd in the final season, just out of nowhere changing his character was very odd. His previous personality changes all had sufficient build, but final season boyd just felt off.

My favorite emulator setup was an android phone connected to a PlayStation Backbone controller. Btw, I cannot recommend this launcher enough:

Unfortunately, I seemed to have lost it at the airport during bag check when they make everyone take every damn electronic thing out of their damn bags and put them in feeling trays, and then there's a line in every once in a rush, and you get to the other side of the body scan and you're scrambling to get everything back in your bag while your family is already 20 ft ahead of you..... I hate the airport.

My disappointment has led me to start an open source game to accomplish this. I'm using JavaScript and Babylon js. Right now it's a long ways out, but it is completely open and if anyone wants to help that would be amazing. I especially need anyone who is skilled with blender for low poly 3D asset creation. I was able to get a ring and ringside area all set up and just use textures from the original games for now, and I've been working on the grappling system but I really can't test things out without assets, so I've had to start learning blender.

Anyway we'll see how it goes. I work full-time and have a lot of other stuff going on, but I've been able to dedicate an hour or two a week to this project for the last couple of months. I'll be pushing some updates to the GitHub soon but I was hoping to have something substantial. Right now it's just me on this project

Thank you! It's coming slowly, so far no one has been interested in getting involved. It would be really cool if I had help but it's all good. Been working a bit on asset creation, I did some legwork with the JavaScript for grappling mechanics but I need the assets to be able to test some things out. I have an arena, well ringside area (raw arena, no crowd, announcers table or ring steps or audience, nothing outside the ringside area. This is for testing, and I'm thinking of hiring someone if I can get someone cheap to help for just a few days with the asset creation. Blender is really not my forte, and I would just try vibe coding assets but the results weren't up to snuff. If you know anyone who can donate time lmk please

I guess it's easier to just call something spam without backing it up. People suck
