This looks amazing I am sorry to hear the developer leave the project behind but I read his statement and I respect his decision and wish him good luck in his future projects.
Seeing as this was the most promising football game coming to Linux, it's sad to see the development come to an end, but after reading the statement on the website, it's probably for the better. It was very insightful regarding the struggles of a one-man-studio, but also the personal struggles, and I'm glad to hear that things are looking up. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and take care!
P.S. Regarding open sourcing the project, maybe you could still just upload the code somewhere (e.g. on a GitHub repo), explaining that you won't be continuing the project, but you're just making it available as-is for whomever might take an interest in it. That way, you wouldn't have to be further involved (should you not wish to), and anyone interested could fork the project and continue development on his own, or just study the code (which might be of interest to game devs). Nobody would be "forced" to continue, since the fork would be just his own project, with his own goals/commitment. Of course, all this only holds in the case that you don't mind sharing the code and/or any algorithms that you might want to keep to yourself for later use.
@@bazkie I actually stumbled upon it a while ago too, when Google announced their Reinforcement Learning project, and the screenshots looked strangely familiar. I checked and sure enough, it was the same game I remembered! I'm very happy that you were able to "release" it to the world in that way at least, and that it has been appreciated as much as it deserves and become part of a research project. Congratulations :) I also had a look at your other football game, "Ballsy!", and I have to say it's a lot of fun! It's interesting to see both similarities and differences to Gameplay Football, but in both cases I can see the care and polish you put into them. Thanks for making them!
Mate this is so good. I have played everything from last 40 years, you had something special here. I appreciate you couldn't carry it on, but I think you could have just changed and let others help you, you were so close to gold. I love the way ball moves and the art style. My idea was like a SWOS game but mixed with FIFA Pro Clubs mode, so everyone controls one guy only. Don't even need to program AI then. Just purely human v human game. I think guys would love your game but then unique experience of only controlling 1 player each. As then offers different thing to basic modern games and being part of a team and co-operating with mates is so rewarding.
Thanks for your kind words! A game where everyone controls one player would be rad.. (though coding AI is never my problem btw, that's kinda my specialty :)) I wonder, doesn't this exist in modern FIFA/PES? Though I don't really like them gameplay wise.. It sure was a shame I had to stop my project, just made the wrong choices up front by making it too big, and using my own engine.. I did mourn it for quite some years but it is what it is! Now I'm making a more cutesy football game and a racing game, both way smaller in scope :)
@@bazkie I will check out your other games. Yes, FIFA already has one guy thing, but they have neglected it massively since inception. As EA only care about their billion dollar should be illegal as is gambling for kids card game mode FUT. One guy mode has huge untapped scope, for online tournaments, World Cups, transfer market etc. Plus as you know FIFA's gameplay sucks. So if you had simple unique gameplay that had little depth, aftertouch, semi/manual controls, like your idea, simple SWOS\Ballsy sprites mixed with unique one man idea. There is a massive demand for it. As people are bored with same tired yearly releases for last 15 years with silly exploitative card game.
@@footiegambler1347 yeah that's true, EA is only in it for the money these days. Maybe Konami as well. For me, I'm not really a multiplayer game coder, it's not really my thing. But I'm planning to eventually open source my next football game after it feels really complete, so maybe someone can mod it to be just that :)
@@bazkie I really hope you open source it. And please bro, when you do, serialise all the adjustable variable fields so that they can be adjusted by game designers in the Unity Editor. A comprehensive documentation will help a lot too. And if it's something you may find tasking, I'm willing to lend a helping hand.
Keep working,Seeing good potential in few years time.Improve more on net physics and More and More animation,it will be prefect because thats the most important part.
This game looks amazing it’s a shame that’s been cancelled, it would be a good contender for FIFA and PES. I will love to make a football game in Unity and I will be glad if you could help me out on it! Keep up the good work and by the way, I am enjoying your Ballsy! World Cup 2020 game!
Thanks mate! The source to Gameplay Football is available on github, in case you need inspiration on certain things! Also, I made this (largely finished) document that may be of some help: properlydecent.com/blog/soccer_game_development_concepts/
hi . i have a question , the game won't launch on my windows 11. what do i need apart from the game to launch it??? i have a screen that appears black and looks like it's writing lines and then nothing. any ideas???
dont give up man , you should sold your great ideo or search more people and create a indie studio , please dont give up , im playing fifa and pes 17 but isnt the same that pes 6 , you have the hands and mind for make possible the dream of all futbol gamers a pes 6 version reloaded whit better control and more funny will be the perfect game of futboll all of the times , DONT GIVE UP !!!!
On which engine did you make this game? How difficult is it to create your football simulator? Probably difficult, because except (FIFA / PES) I have not seen more successful football simulators) Your game looks not bad, i can ask why you stopped the development?
Thanks! I made my own engine. Which is one of the reasons I stopped, because such a big game + own engine is just too much to create/maintain for one person. I'm now making a very simple football game instead, and I use the Unity engine :) ruclips.net/video/tyHlzmBL6nA/видео.html
Bro, isn't it possible to resurrect this project in Unity? Refactor old code from C to it's C# equivalents as components, use better character assets, and animations, and continue working on this masterpiece. I'm sure if you call for help, we will all rise up and answer. I'm really ready to work on the visual design; logos, ux/ui, typography, etc. If you're down, we're down with you. Don't let a good project die.
Thanks for the support, but I don't want to! I've started a new project, in 2D, with sprites, way more simplistic, using Unity. I don't have the energy for projects of this size anymore :) sorry to disappoint!
@@loveadeola thanks for understanding! ballsy! league is coming along slowly but surely, kinda at the same pace as my race game side project. the gameplay is quite complete, it just needs the whole league mode, so that's a lot of work left to do. still, I'm very happy with the gameplay, it really feels like the 2d version of gameplay football I guess. I will make a video soon!
@@bazkie I saw that you said that you stopped the project because it was too much work, could you tell me what problems you had so I know what to expect when I start the project?
@@DanielOM2010 sure! I made it using my own game engine, that was adding A LOT of work, because my engine didn't have stuff like character animation/skinning etc, also it was multithreaded which turned out to be complete overkill, lol. also, I'm too perfectionistic, and also when I started programming on it I wasn't very good yet, so the code isn't great. so things were going slower and slower and it took up years of my life and so much energy... I just couldn't do it anymore! but if you make the game in Unreal you would not have a lot of these problems! I made a blog about my experiences, maybe it can help properlydecent.com/blog/soccer_game_development_concepts/ also gameplay football is on github, with a link to the assets somewhere, maybe some of the models or anims could be useful for you (tho it's a custom format so not sure if it's worth writing a loader for) good luck!
