They Think it's All Over:

It's not. Far from it!

This is my homage to Football Manager. But I'm not a game developer and I had no idea how to code when I had my epiphany last year. Since then, I have spent every spare minute learning how to build a game using Unity in order to get to this stage but it is far from the finished article.

Future updates will include:

• Promotion and relegation and a full 10 Divisions
• Midweek club dilemmas to deal with (What would you do if your captain was caught having an affair with the left-back's wife?)
• Domestic and European Cups
• Greatly expanded buff system and upgrade options
• More interaction with the chairman and manager
• Completely new artwork

I'm also open to suggestions. Think you've got a killer feature I should add? Let me know about it.

It Started With a Kick:

I've taken this bad boy about as far as I can on my own and if it is to see the light of day I am going to need some professional help.  Which is expensive. 

If you dig what I'm trying to do then you can support me by playing the demo and letting me know what you think. Then tell everyone about it.

The demo is completely free to download but should you make a donation, all money raised will be used to speed up its development.

If there is enough interest I aim to launch a Kickstarter campaign with the goal of raising the funds necessary to bring the full spectacle to market.

And that's where it gets really exciting. 

Backers will be given the opportunity to send me some photos and I will turn them into characters for the game. That's right! You, your best mate and his wheelchair could be the stars of the show.

Surely, the most socially inclusive game ever! 

Download Instructions:

Hit the Download Button. Choose your operating system then save to your computer. Unpack the Zip Folder then kick the Golden Ball. Your firewall and antivirus software may moan the first time of running but don't panic, that is just my terrible coding!

Turn up the sound for extra dramatic effect during the intro before the game starts.
