Great retro design to this! Somehow I did well without really knowing soccer at all lol

Ah, fantastic stuff! <3 I really enjoyed this video. I'll admit the financial balance could be better in this game, but you had a pretty incredible debut season anyway. Congrats on the promotion and long live Clystgate United! Keep up the great work with your channel. –T

Hi, could you please consider adding accessibility for screen readers? In theory, this is text-based, so should read. HOwever, when running the game, the screen reader can not read anything. There is a free screen reader on windows, called NVDA, that could be used for testing. I'd also be happy to test myself as well.

The only thing would be how to show the live commentary, as if it goes by in 50 seconds it could happen fast and the screen reader might possibly struggle to keep up, but maybe there's a way. Unforunatel, I am not a programmer, but I'd be happy to provide feedback. This would be a completely new experience for me as Fifa does not ahve accessibility built into the console games nor does football manager.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hi! Thanks for your comment. I'll look into NVDA and see what I can do. The game was coded in a pretty eccentric programming language (QB64) so I don't know whether it's even possible to make the game compatible, but I'll look into it. Would be thrilled to offer such accessibility!

Just looking at the screenshots this already looks cool as hell

Awesome! Let's hear your career stories, if you decide to give it a try! :-)

I love the look of this. I am currently creating a footy manager game and so have loved looking through the screenshots etc.

I am on a mac, so cannot test it at the moment. I hope that you persevere with it!

Thanks! I actually consider this game finished and don't plan to add more features at this time. :)

hello

would you like to add a feature to edit the number of teams in division?

Hello! Thanks for your idea. At the moment it's impossible, but if I decide to give the game another big update, I'll look into this.

Getting lots of downloads suddenly, thanks people! Please let me know what you think of the game and share your career stories here. :)

Love the game so far! Ali Dia showed up, 6 of my players got injured organising a yard sale and my star midfielder started acting strangely and changed his name to Captain America! One thing the game badly needs, though, is a way to clear your squad for mid season free agents. I tried selling players before it happens, but they just get replaced by youth team members, so the squad is still full and you can't sign anyone. Other than that, this is a lot of fun!

Ahaha, that sounds amazing. :-D Can I share your career story on Twitter? And thanks for the feedback. Selling the 1-3 "extra" players should be made possible, and I guess adding a young academy player to the squad (if there's space) should also be possible during the season. I'll fix this stuff in the first patch. I'm also very interested in any balancing issues you might notice. I made some changes close to the release, and now I'm not sure how the balancing works between the daily scenarios, managing your reputation and the finances, and also improving your stadium and coaching etc. The goal here definitely is a casual game that is not too challenging and doesn't punish you too much.

Yeah, you can share on Twitter, no problem! The balancing so far has seemed pretty good, I've had no complaints but I'll keep an eye on it and let you know when I've had a bit more time to play it :)

When I first load up the game, all I get is this screen, which doesn't do anything. However, if you press 'space', the options appear. Not clear that that's what you need to do. Not had time to play it much yet yet, but what I've seen so far has been a lot of fun!

Hi! Thanks for downloading! And that's a good point, I'll release a patch with some fixes at some point and will fix this.

Thanks to everyone who downloaded the game! I'd love to hear your career stories!
