Football, Tactics & Glory News

In today's Beta update, we don't add anything special. Just finished the localization of the feature which allows you to rename the tournaments the way you like. Added German, Italian, Chinese, Korean and other languages.

Sounds like a tiny thing, however, it's a very thorough work. Because every language needs an individual approach.

For us, it's very important to know if the renaming feature works well. Therefore, if you rename the tournaments in your modifications, write us, please, on the forum if everything works fine in your language.

Today, we have updated the Beta-version of the upcoming big update which will significantly improve our Leagues Editor.

The main addition to the Beta is the editor of the tournament names. Currently, it supports only three languages: English, Ukrainian, Russian.

You are allowed to change the names for all in-game tournaments: leagues, domestic and international cups.

It would be interesting to know if it's easy for you to find the button which opens the screen of renaming tournaments. We believe it's pretty obvious but we'd rather listen to your feedback.

You can edit the names in different languages. Therefore, if players play your modification in one of the supported languages, the tournament names will be understandable for them. Otherwise, they will see the default names.



The main idea of this and other new features which we are currently working on is to give you the possibility to create realistic football leagues. We are sure that changing the names of the tournaments will increase the immersion.

Additionally, there are the following improvements:

• Added hints to all elements of the Leagues Editor.
  
• Sometimes, when you generated a team with some power, the resulting power was half-star higher or lower. Fixed.
  
• Great guys from the studio "Only Sound" started experimenting with the UI sounds. We added some new sounds to the game. It's only a first iteration so there will be changes to them.
  

Steam started the Autumn Sale and its traditional Steam Awards event.

Many of you wrote to us that Football, Tactics & Glory became your favourite game (or one of the favourite games). For us, It's a big pleasure to know. Because it means that we created something valuable and unique.

We would be grateful if you vote for FTG in any category which you think the game fits in. I personally nominated it to the Game of the Year. Despite developing it for many years already, I still have a lot of fun playing it.



You also can nominate our team in the nomination Best Developer award. Just write Creoteam in the search field which appears after the nomination.

We continue working on the big update which is going to add revolutionary improvements to already great Leagues Editor.

Today, I want to tell you about one more feature which we started working on.

Soon, you will be able to edit weather in any country. Do you want to create eternal winter? Want to change the frequency of heavy rains? Want to change an existing country with an average weather on a new one with hot weather?

It will be possible soon:



Eventually, we want to give you the same possibilities we have ourselves when editing leagues. But at the same moment, we want to create a very useful interface. Also, we are changing the data structure so the game can take the outer data from the modifications.


At the moment, we are still developing the new features I have told you the last week.
In around 1-2 weeks we are going to update the Beta with these two features.

On this week we didn't update the Beta because there were quite hard features to develop.

But I want to tell you a bit about these features. I'm sure that players who love developing and editing the leagues will be glad to hear what we are working on.




We want players to be able to edit the number of teams in every league. The minimum number of the teams will be 8 (10 for Premier league). The maximum number - 20.

Now, it will be possible to create more realistic championships. Also, there will be a space for experimentation with league formats.

However, the general rules of the tournaments will stay untouched. I.e. no matter how many there are teams in the leagues, the teams will continue to participate in the Prestige, National and continental cups.




Many players asked us about that. And finally, we have decided to do it.

The main complexity is in taking to account all the forms different languages can use the tournament names in. So we remake all the texts, search for tournaments names, and create special editing sheets for every language. It will be very easy for English, but significantly harder for German or Russian, for example.

But when we finish this features, you will be able to rename every tournament. I'm sure it will make the playing experience much more realistic.

Btw, when testing this feature we used some weird names for the tournaments just to be sure that everything works as expected even in the weirdest cases. It was very funny to see how these names in the game. Just look at the screenshot:




We really hope to release them into the Beta in around 2-3 weeks. Despite they are partially working in the internal builds, we don't want to release them not finished.

We continue working on the Autumn update. Its main goal is to make our modifications support significantly better. It is very powerful even now. But new features and usability improvements will give you much more possibilities.

You can see what's already done by changing the branch to Beta. We are updating the branch once per 2 weeks.

Today we have launched the new Beta update.


TL;DR:
- now, you can copy/paste the whole teams;
- now, you can generate the teams with a set power;
- in the single-player campaign, we added the descriptions of what happens when the ball is spinning.

LEAGUES EDITOR

• Added the possibility to copy/paste the whole teams. Now, you can copy a team from some modification, and paste it to another modification.
  
• Now, you can see the power of the teams in the League Editor.
  
• Now, you can see the power of the teams in the Team Editor.
  
• Added a new tab where you can generate the team of set power. IMPORTANT! The changed power can be experienced only in the Sandbox mode.
  
• When you are editing any characteristics, you can press TAB to jump to the next characteristics. It allows for significantly faster editing.
  
• The first click on any characteristics selects the text of this characteristics. Therefore, the following typing of any character clears the previous text. It allows you to edit the characteristics faster. Because earlier, you had to delete the old data first, and only then - add a new data.
  

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS

• When FTG makes any calculations players see a spinning ball. We added the textual explanations of what happens at these moments. So now, you will know what the game is doing.
  
• In the slot of the last played campaign we added an Info button.
  

BUGS

• Fixed the font problem in with some characters in the Romanian names.
  
• Aggressive tackle didn't increase the Tackles counter. Fixed.
  
• In a very rare situation, when a footballer scores a header after intercepting the opponent's lofted pass, the game counts it as a Header. It used to be just a goal.
  
• Fixed the crash which happened after editing the birth date in the already published modification.
