Re: An Easy Way to Spread FIRST: Catalyst 2012
Chris,

Has Diamond Bullet Studios ever considered making a first person mode or "experiment" mode?

Basically, have the mode so users can fly any where in the 3-dimensional space of, and around, the playing field. The users have unlimited access to game pieces. Also user would have the ability to manipulate the game piece in different ways, like change the trajectory, velocity and orientation of the game piece. User could even just "drop" the game piece and see they interaction with the field elements.

Personally, I would find this much more valuable then playing with default preconfigured robots. Who knows this might allow for teams to discover things like the "bounce pass" or even the redirection of balls from 2010 like 469, sooner then their first event.

Does DBS plan on releasing a new version of Catalyst 2012 for the 2013 season? If so, will it be released on the day of the Kickoff?

Thanks,
-Clinton-
