[SecretAgentMan 37]

Greetings! My name is Jeff (or SecretAgentMan), and  I enjoy programming sports sims. I have been working for a long time on a sim for international sports, such as the kinds we see at the upcoming Summer Games and Winter Games. So, I wanted to post that Going for Gold (2020 Edition) is now available for free Beta Trials.

Want to try the game? Please click here to download (v1-6):

I hope you try it out! The only thing that I ask is that if you try the game, please either post here, PM me here, or e-mail me at [email protected] so that I can contact you later with a feedback survey

-3 Game modes: Summer Games only (functional for 2020 edition); Winter Games only (might work; hasn't been tested recently); Career Mode (might work; hasn't been tested recently)

If you tried/played this game at all, I have a favor to ask. Would you please fill out this Survey? Stuff like this helps me get better and would be appreciated! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBanUTeiYC9wqNamPxBhCUcPgOnvVcXHXRSsDw-2mnteLdYQ/viewform

I will use the results to help make things better, including with the Winter Games in February. (There will absolutely be another one of these sims in February if you are so inclined/interested)
