Heavy Weight Thunder is the second release from the guys here at Roundhouse Entertainment. With HWT we wanted to create a different kind of PC game that delivered a broad range of action and really took advantage of the PC's capabilities. HWT blends hand to hand combat, strategy, RPG level advancement, life management, and even a little Vegas gambling.
THE COMBAT SYSTEM
Back in the day, fighting was done with a whole slew of buttons and button combinations. It was a clunky affair and did not emulate the act of fighting in any way. So we decided to create a whole new method for players to execute their attacks; the Simu-Punch system. With Simu-Punch, players use their mouse to emulate the motion of a fist. Using only the two mouse buttons, A player's simple Wrist flicks are translated into devastating haymakers. There is no button smashing, only elegant mouse motions. Also, Victory in Fighting games of the past was largely based on luck. A skilled player didn't necessarily always win against a newbie. This was mainly due to their excessive speed. The average PC gamer just doesn't have the cat-like reflexes of a pro fighter. We also didn't want to slow the game down to a crawl, as this would take the excitement out of the bouts. Therefore, we came up with the ICON system to give players a warning about which direction and height an attack is coming from. This way, a focused player can make it through even the toughest challenges with nary a scratch on him.
THE CAREER
In the past, Games that focused on Combat usually had one thing to offer, endless fighting. Well, that tends to get a bit boring, so the main focus of HWT isn't just the combat, but the lifestyle of a professional boxer. In fact, you'll probably spend more time outside the ring than in it. A chunk of the lifestyle focuses on gaining Material posessions, purchasing goods and services that will help you continue your climb towards the top. On top of purchases, you'll also need to plan out your time on a Calendar to get the most out of every month.
THE LOOK
Heavy Weight Thunder is a crazy game, and the look had to match. Standard 3D lighting just wouldn't cut it, so our programmers crafted a unique lighting engine to bring out highlights and add a bolder curvature to surface lighting. The ends result is a stunning look unlike anything seen before on the PC.
