A litte background info
Right, I don't want to waffle on about myself but I guess it would paint a nicer picture if I just gave you a few details about myself...
I'm 29 years old and will be 30 in July. I live with my girlfriend, Lucy, who is a nurse and we are about to buy our first house together. Well, I say house, I actually mean 2 bedroomed flat. Anyway, I recently quit my job on an IT Helpdesk and began working for myself full time as an independent games developer. New Star Soccer 3 is the most recent title and is doing remarkably well right now after numerous awards from mags/websites. (Strangely it is selling very well in Turkey when I didn't even hear about a Turkish magazine review. Or if I did, I forgot.)
Coming soon is Sensational Soccer. Basically, the match engine you see in NSS3 will be used in a more traditional soccer game. You will select the team, choose the tactics and control all the players on the pitch. The bulk of this is already complete as I have programmed the team and individual modes of play simultaneously. I just released an update for NSS3 so I can now get back to concentrating on Sensational Soccer. First plan of action is to create a league mode so you can pick a team then battle it out for promotion. The full range of leagues from NSS3 will be available, as compiled by Nick Greig. Contact Nick on the forum if you want to help collect data. Whilst i'm talking about the Forum, a big shout out to Jay-Jay and the mods for keeping everything running smoothly. :)
One or two player single matches already in place in SS and working well, I think. The tactics editor is also ready to go and I can't wait to see what title winning tactics people start coming up with. I'll be hosting the best ones on the website naturally. A new Goal Of The Month competition will be set up for Sensational Soccer, much like the NSS3 Goal Of The Month, so if you play both games you'll have two chances of winning a prize from the NSS Shop! An online mode for Sensational Soccer has been suggested and although it is something I would love to implement the first release will be offline only i'm afraid. One last thing... I want to include as many Languages in Sensational Soccer as possible, so if you want to help please check this thread on the forum.
Right, that's enough chat for now. I need to get started on that league mode. :)
