Frey United Software
No, no clues, just guess! Yup, we are more or less, almost completely, open and mildly proud of it. To some extent. You can now register, create club, join division and take part in friendly games that are runup to the regular season. And this is, as they say France, it.
It’s been a long couple of days, at the end of long week, at the end of very long month, at the end of about 8-years-long development process full of experiments, improvements, re-developing ideas, testing, re-testing, testing again, fighting with dragons, finding the Holy Grail, then losing it, re-developing interface and testing everything once more.
Well, to be fair some of those statements are not completely true, the interface was just slightly patched up, not fully re-developed.
Some of the things are not yet fully functional in Football-o-Rama, but finishing them all would postpone game re-opening for further months. I’m developing the game in my spare time (I think I do, because I almost forgot now what spare time is), on top of my normal business, so it was a bit of a struggle for me, especially while I had to fight the dragons as well.
Nevertheless what you about to see is closest I ever been to what was the plan for Football-o-Rama - experiences from previous versions of the game plus other titles produced the new Rama.
Some elements, like club strategy, stadium rooms, staff members or stock market, are on early stage of implementation, but all of them are parts of the grand plan. Hope you’ll stick around to see the game in its full potential one day.
What else can I add? Perhaps: and they all lived happily ever after. Well, at least until the first patch, which will ruin everything, but let’s not spoil the surprise that awaits us all in the future.
Frey United SoftwareDuring tests on Saturday I have detected a problem with account / club creation on the public copy (account does not switch correctly the status, allows inactive user to parts of the interface it should not), was hoping it is easy to fix, yet on Monday only some of them are fixed. New restart date is Wednesday, if the problems will continue we will start the season without option for new users to join.
Frey United SoftwareThat is all I have to say - random disaster, few hours without electricity, happy times all around :( Should be done with the restart by the morning, but taking under consideration how well everything went so far in 2024 something weird will happen anyway, so I moved the start of the season until Friday.
