Indoor Football Manager

I just wanted to share some screen shots from a game I'm working on in my very limited free time. I don't plan on having regular updates (like the two games on the forums below) but I have been wanting to show off these screens for a while. This is very early alpha version (0.0.1.9) and all screens are subject to change.

 

Please note the Ram logo is a default logo for testing purposes. The plan is to have over 80 pre-defined teams with unique logos and names. However, everything is customizable.

Looks interesting, keep us posted.

 

Are playoffs also customisable?

[Robmeister89 32]

The current plan is too have customizable playoffs, yes. That will go into the create league screen above when it's coded in.

Just noticed this thread and I must say that it really starts to look like something :-) Keep up the great work

Too Good

To be true? I can assure you it is not

Just to give a little idea of how slow this process is for me as a solo developer... I haven't touched my game in two weeks unfortunately. I'm a full time student and employee. My 'free time' is extremely limited.

As I already stated, I have done almost nothing on my game recently.. I hurt my back at the start of September, my college term started at that time as well, I then got sick with the flu... but just yesterday I finally implemented something I have been wanting to implement for a very long time.. the league calendar... its going to operate similarly to OOTPD games in that you will simulate one real-life day at a time (with the option to simulate multiple days of course).

 

Please note for this particular screenshot, Pembroke Pines has two teams, what you're seeing on the schedule is not an error. The teams are randomly generated currently so its possible for teams to have the same city (albeit its rare but its possible).

 

Here's the first version of that calendar showing off the league's games for the month:

Unfortunate, because the simulation engine is far from finished I'm not ready to push this game into the hands of consumers. 

But thank you for your interest! Please keep an eye out for more information. 

Also, once again I have not had much time with this game over the last month and a half but I did implement create-a-player and downloading a league file from a URL. I don't have official screen shots of those but I might get them on here soon.

Small update for those interested:

Simulation engine is almost done with a few exceptions. (Note: It was already pretty close but needed a few tweaks.) 

1. I still need to implement strategies, currently the game chooses based on down and distance as well as field position.

2. I need to implement saving results and stats to the database.

 

Once I complete those (this is a slow process for me as previously mentioned due to time constraints) I might be ready for an alpha version for consumers to try it out. Much of the game is not completed but if results can be generated and saved at least I'll be ready to let people do testing.

The graphics look great! The game sounds real good as well. I would be interested in checking it out. Maybe even do a review. Keep up the good work.
