I've just put a new build live on Steam. The new build includes the following:
Fix bug with Steam achievements not unlocking
Controller screen - countdown timer to allow progress when one player is playing with two teams. Also, player can cancel (esc key, cancel button) out of controller screen back to fixtures.
New team selection screen - shows each team's skill levels, allows swapping teams with teams that aren't default selection (e.g. Italy, Scotland in world cup), shows player icon with team colours.
New national teams: Italy, Scotland, Columbia, Egypt, Greece, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, Russia, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine (am I missing any? :)
Fix kick off coin toss not being random enough.
Slight randomness on long range shots to not be so perfectly straight.
Would love to know what your thoughts are of the new features and bug fixes. Be sure to report any issues too if encountered.
Thanks for all your feedback so far. It's been an amazing help to me.
Tiny Football - Early Access : World Cup
Hi Football Fans,
The game has launched today into Early Access and we plan to stream live from the University of Strathclyde Students' Union bar in Glasgow, Scotland. Earlier today I walked through 2 hours of the “Season” mode to give you a glimpse of a full season in Tiny Football. This time, to celebrate the world cup coming later in the month, we will be joining some students in a "World Cup" tournament each playing as a team of their choosing.
During the broadcast, I will be taking and answering your questions about the game or anything football related.
Anyway, come and join us in our first World Cup broadcast live on Steam!
The game will be launching into Early Access very soon and I can’t wait for you all to get your hands on it and start playing.
To celebrate I’ll be playing through the “Season” mode so you get to see a glimpse of a full season. I won’t make it through a whole season in the session but I'm hopeful it gives you a taste of what is to come.
Before you dive into your first seasons and tournaments it is important to understand the power rankings of each of the teams. I will be refining the interface during Early Access so these rankings will be visible when you play.
Top 10 National Team Power Rankings
Spain (80)
Portugal (80)
France (80)
Argentina (80)

England (80)

Language Support on Launch English, French, Italian, German, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish will be supported on launch.
Simplified Chinese and Japanese localisation will be present in future updates.
Future Roadmap With Early Access releases I know it is important to communicate updates and future plans.
As I work out what I will be tackling next I will update you via developer diaries and more frequently on Twitter - So don’t forget to give us a follow over there.
I'm Martyn, the developer of Tiny Football and I'm delighted to announce that the launch date has been confirmed for the 15th of November. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and feedback in getting it to this stage.
We had an overwhelming response from the recent playtest, and I've been busy addressing your feedback. Areas such as player control, attack, and defense have been improved. On top of this, new rewarding animations and cut scenes have been added to the game.
When we initially release into Early access we are taking the game to a new level with features you didn't get to experience in the recent playtest. This will include the introduction of a new season mode, which will take you and your club on a journey over the course of a full season. You will also be able to earn in-game steam achievements.
Once we launch into Early Access I will make my Trello board public. This will allow players to see the current state of tasks and what will be coming next as the game is in Early Access stage.
Tiny Football has reached a new stage in its development timeline: playtesting is now live and I would like to welcome anyone interested to sign up and play the game for free.
Available to play in the playtest version of the game are:
32 National Teams
Friendly Matches
Custom Knockout Tournaments with up to 32 teams
Penalty Shootouts mode
Multiple Controller Support (Play with a friend on the couch - or at the pub -- wherever you want really)
Request access on the steam store page today. Feedback and suggestions are welcome on Discord or by filling out the survey that opens after your gaming session.
Enjoy!

MicroProse announces 5 New Games!
Hello MicroProse fans!
We are back at announcing new games that join our line-up. This time it's all about stories, atmosphere, exploration, but also intrigue and even sport!
Let's take a look at each one of them.
Neyyah
Neyyah is a first-person point-and-click adventure game from solo developer, Aaron Gwynaire.
You are thrown into a strange secretive world called Neyyah. Use careful observation and logic to uncover the mysteries entwined within Neyyah's peculiar landscapes and bizarre cultures.
Neyyah is set within a collection of remote almost abandoned islands, separated by a series of complex portal machinery and laced with the fingerprints of two very intriguing cultures.
Upon waking up from a strange dream, you find yourself transported to a place called Olujay, where you meet Vamir, who sends you to Neyyah in the hope you will be safe there. For reasons you will discover upon your many explorations, Vamir needs you for a matter of great urgency.
A wrong must be righted. A civilization avenged. A secret revealed.
"Welcome to the planet Terrahive. A planet that never should have existed. Completely encrusted in a disease called humanity. Corporate arcologies and space elevators shadow the layers of polluted man-made edifices. Overseen by ancient brains on apparatuses and driven by greed, corruption, progress, and immortality." - John Cooper
Let Bions be Bygones is an atmospheric narrative future-noir thriller.
A new take on the classic genre, Let Bions be Bygones, lets the players focus on the story, narrative, and detective work. Players will be able to choose their own path and grow their characters through different playstyles.
All this and more, in a gritty world captivated by an original, unique soundtrack and a professional voice-over that will immerse the player in a thrilling tale with multiple endings.
CrossOver is a tabletop RPG strategy game.
Defend your tabletop RPG paper character sheet from invading pixel enemies! Find matches in your tray of dice to power attacks to clear the evil from your shelf full of campaign books. Hardcore match-3 RPG puzzle meets action-strategy tower defence.
CrossOver takes some classic concepts from traditionally “casual” genres (Match 3 and Tower Defence) and crosses them into a new and eccentric hardcore challenge with Strategy, RPG and Puzzle elements.
The main campaigns include RPG progression, dozens of spells and weapons to find, mercenaries to hire, and shops to buy armor and items. Random encounters appear between stages with Fighting Fantasy book style choices. Earn persistent gems to unlock more classes/races (15 of each in the game) or trade in for extra gold during any campaign.
Try your hand at the Solo and Co-Op Endless Modes to challenge the Online Leaderboards!
DROP is a rogue-like hacking simulator set in a fragmented future.
You are a freelancer, trying to gain fame in DROP, an anonymous system for hackers. You break into digital enclaves and leave without a trace, but you find yourself in a conflict between various agencies that could change the world.
Enter a disconnected cyberpunk world – the unique visuals, exclusive soundtrack, and electronic soundscapes evoke the feel and the thrill of hacking in a potential future. Play an unfolding story campaign through unique missions.
Tackle, Pass and Shoot your way to the back of the net.
On the Couch or Online. Settle old scores!
Tiny Football is a throwback to old top-down retro soccer games of the 90s. Master the art of passing and shooting, tackles, crosses, throw balls, overhead kicks, free kicks, and more. Compete with 64 national and club teams in a variety of tournaments.
Rich gameplay and real challenge is achieved by sharing user control with AI assistance to produce passing and shooting based on individual player ability.
Each squad member has their own skill levels and players can be pre-selected before a match and substituted during a match when they are tired.
In-match injuries will force substitutions. Sent off players and player suspensions will force players to shuffle team selection adding a managerial feel to tournaments.
Additional features include goal celebrations, player protests, extra time and penalties. Play with a friend (controller and keyboard) or the computer.
