The release of Goblin Rules Football has gone well! I’ve played 3v3 a few times with my friends and it’s been great! There are even positive reviews! Only for of them…but still, all positive! And none are from friends I begged to review to juice my numbers! Just random people who though my stupid little…

Goblin Rules Football has been released on Steam! Wow! Please go out and play it…it’s free… I don’t have anything else to add. Spent a year on this little game. I hope other people like it! There are 2 dlcs which are just donations to me if anyone feels so inclined. Otherwise enjoy the game…

First off, my game has a release date now: October 20, 2022! Wow! The game will be free. If anyone ever reads this post, please add it to your wishlist on Steam! You can find the Steam page here. In other Steam related news, I added a bunch of achievements to GRF! So far, there…

Now that Goblin Rules Football has a steam page up, I’m starting to “fine tune” what is in the game currently instead of just adding random content. The first thing I wanted to do was to make it so all of my UI is navigable with a game pad. The in-game UI worked well with…

Last post, I mentioned that I was going to make a trailer for my game. I did! It only took a few hours and I did it all using free tools and free (Create Commons) music. Can you tell this is the first time I’ve ever edited video of any kind??? Wow, isn’t it amazing?…

I mentioned before that I wanted to start working on adding Goblin Rules Football to Steam, and I did! You can find the steam store page here. Doesn’t it just look amazing!? I know, I know, surely a true pro created that page and not just a game dev hobbyist with a spare $100. Would…
