Well, I’ve been very happy with the reaction to the Football Manager 2011 demo so far. It’s great for us to see so many people playing it and enjoying it, and thank you to MirrorFootball for being our partner for it’s release.
If you haven’t already grabbed it, you can still download it here - and there’s also a very special competition there to actually appear in the game in a future “patch” for it.
For those who don’t know what a “patch” is, it’s a free update that is provided after a game is released that can add things to the game, or fix things too.
The problem for us making games for PC’s in particularly is that there are so many different types of machine out there, some with little nuances that aren’t found on other machines, and we try and offer the best support possible by releasing updates if we fix things that are broken.
It also gives us the chance to update data, and we always provide a data update for PC & Mac users a few weeks after the end of the January transfer window to ensure that all of the players are at their new clubs.
And it gives us the chance to add any assets, like player pictures, that weren’t sent to us in time for the boxed game release.
This year, we were planning on two updates. One in December to fix any issues, and one in February/March to update the transfers.
But with the situation much changed at Liverpool since the game mastered, we’ve decided to do a patch on the day of release.
This patch will ensure that Liverpool now have the correct owners.
It will also provide an extra “skin” for the game, a dark version of the main skin.
There will also be some added extras for those people who install their game through Steam, but I’ll be dealing with that in a blog in the next couple of weeks.
Another thing to mention today is that the new edition of the Football Manager podcast has just gone live at iTunes. It’s a very special one this episode, as it’s in conjunction with One Game One Community, and features Danny Lynch and a certain ex-England international, Earl Barrett, to tie in with the organisations week of action.
We’ve worked with One Game One Community for many years, from the time when they were known as Kick Racism Out of Football, and the work they do is phenomenal, so please do grab the podcast to hear more about their work, or go to their website at www.kickitout.org
Oh – and there are some nice little Football Manager 2011 nuggets in there too of things you might not have found yet in the demo, a great competition, and a few details on how you can be on the next podcast, for which 50 people will be getting the chance to ask me questions live at HMV Gamerbase in London!
I hope you all have a great weekend – let’s hope it rains so you get more chance to play the Football Manager 2011 demo… |
