I will keep blogging, honest

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but this week has seen very little progress. I had to fix numerous problems with NSS3 which were caused by the updates to the Sensational Engine, but everything seems to be sorted now. I did manage to talk to a pixel artist about improving the graphics for Sensational Soccer and he should be creating the rest of the animations for this guy soon. That should give the game a much more friendly feel, although it probably means i'll need to increase the goal size, and maybe even the pitch. I may also think about changing the controls slightly too, but i'll work on that at a later date. I'm still working on the league system at the moment - the table seems to be updating nicely after the results come in. The load/save feature is working ok although at the moment you can only have one save - console game style. I will change this at some point so you can have multiple saves and choose which one to load. Right now though i need to deal with promotions and relegations which is always fun. I will be throwing a generic cup tournament in there too, so the season will end with a cup final but play-offs is a no-no. Why? Well, the league data doesn't store the number promotion/play-off places for each league so other than updating the league editor it's not possible. I could update the editor but i'm predicting a big rewrite of the league system for NSS4, so it may have to wait till then.
