Super Arcade Football News

Hello you lot! Another update to take you guys into the Champions League Final weekend!

Here's what's new:

• SPRINTING!!!
  
  We have tested and tested and have now put in a Sprint mechanic into the game!
  
  Give your player a burst of speed by using either trigger (LT / RT) on the controller (or either shift key for keyboard users), your player will knock the ball forward and gain speed for a short amount of time! This can also be used to push the ball past an opponent (see the gif above).
  
  Sprinting also allows you to take the ball off the opponent if you sprint into them, meaning it can double up as a light tackle/barge. (We'll be adding in a nice animation for this state in the future).
  
  *** We'd really like to have your opinion on this new mechanic ***, as there has been a bit of a debate between you lot on whether or not it should be implemented...So here is your moment for testing and having your say!
  
  
  
• Wembley Improvements
  
  Fixed a few things with Wembley mode and improved the UI
  
  
  
• Bug fixes and general improvements!
  
  Got loads left to do though ːsteamfacepalmː
  

We've had a few comments regarding the AI and specifically goalkeepers. We're fully with you guys on this, they are nowhere near a good enough standard...yet.

But we are working on a new NEW system and the recent versions we have been testing so far are promising, so you will be getting a brand new and much improved AI hopefully soonish. In the meantime we are working towards adding in all the remaining features and content, then we shall be locking the features and focusing our entire efforts on solidifying all the gameplay, UI and AI.

Again, we all really appreciate your support, thank you!

Enjoy!

Hello you lot, it's update time!

Here's what's new:

• WEMBLEY MODE!!

A brand new game mode for you to play in Quick Match: Wembley Mode!
(Also known as "World Cup" or "Cuppy" OR "Knockout" )

This is our take on the classic playground football game in which there is one goal / goalkeeper and 5 teams all shooting towards the same goal.

It get's pretty crazy but is also quite fun!



We still have more to add to this mode, like selecting all the teams in the match (at the moment they are randomly assigned other than the two teams you select in the match setup), as well as assigning any gamepads to any team! As well as adding online support and more in game UI.


Yada yada yada fixing a few things here and there.


We hope all you football fans really enjoy the Royal Wedding this weekend, should be a cracker of a match-up!

Don't think any other football related events are happening this weekend ...ːsteammockingː

Enjoy!

Thanks for reading!!

Out of this world!!

We're slipping in a cheeky little update before the easter holidays :)

Here's what's new:

• Time of Day (and lighting in general)
  
  
  We have added in these times of day!
  Morning
  Noon (the normal time of day)
  Dusk
  Nightime
  
  At the moment, these are set randomly, we will expose this as an option in the following weeks.
  
  
• Reviewed Meteorites
  
  We now have fancy 3D meteorites (we have done away with the old 2D version). This will be improved in our overall polish phase.
  
  
• Reviewed Stadium
  
  The stadium stands now reflect the home teams colours.
  
  
• General bug fixes and improvements!
  
  Lots more to find and SQUASH!
  
  

We are now going to focus our next few updates on FIXING AS MANY BUGS AS POSSIBLE!!
So that will mean less new content but a much better game in general. Thank you so much to you guys who are finding and reporting these bugs, we're very grateful to have such a brilliant community.

Cheers!

Update Time!

Hello! Another update, here's what's new:

• Improved Crowd (again)!
  
  We have improved the animation system for our crowd, and are happy with the variations of animations each crowd person can use!
  
  
• Graphics Settings
  
  We have started to add in our graphics options. For now there is just one preset selector. At the moment the default is Standard but if you feel like treating your eyeballs, switch to DELUXE mode for much better graphics (may affect performance on some lower end PCs).
  
  We will expose all the standard graphics settings you expect to see in any modern PC game (Anti-aliasing, V-sync etc).
  
  
• Added a new replay camera angle!
  
  A static birds eye view is now available to choose when watching an instant replay.
  
  
• General bug fixes and improvements!
  
  A few little bugs have been resolved in this version :)
  
  

Cheers!
