Hi all
Obviously the GMC is not a place where talk of football is expected to come up, but I wonder, do many or even any GM Devs like football? Am I an oddity in liking the sport and being someone who loves to spend my time trying to make games? Or are there a bunch of other devs who also like the sport too?
The reason the question comes to mind is that I've started working on my 4th and boldest-so-far game, which is a cross between football manager and a text adventure game. I plan to try and get some interest in the development process as 1) getting feedback to shape the game would be amazing, 2) it's a tough game to test on your own, 3) 'indie-marketing'. That got me to thinking about posting in the WIP section of GMC and then the question obviously arose. Is it even worth posting about it here, do any GM Devs care remotely about a football sim game? I can't remember seeing any other GMC projects related to football in my albeit short time here.
For the record, I'm not trying to start a football loving community within the GMC, there are plenty of other forums for that on the web. I am just interested in whether there is much cross-over in coding/football loving?
So shall this post be lost in tumbleweed or will I be shocked by an influx of similar minds to mine?..
