All posts in Goblin Rules Football

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…

I’ve mentioned before that I want to give players the ability to re-map/bind the controls for GRF. I created a control scheme that I think works for the game, but surely many other players will disagree! Assuming any other players ever play GRF, that is. So, I went about trying to figure out how to…

In my last post, I mentioned wanting to add some more visual indicators for the ball carrier by creating an outline around the goblin with the ball. I didn’t want to have to add an outline to each sprite frame in every ball carrying animation, and switch between them and so on, so I decided…

It’s been something like three weeks since my last blog post, and I have spent the entirety of that time working on a tutorial for players to play in order to “learn by doing.” The tutorial goes through the basics of how to play GRF, walking the player through step-by-step on how to move, switch…

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…

In my previous post, I said that one of my next tasks was to create a new UI for the title screen. Here’s what I made! If you’re looking at that and thinking “wow, looks like a free flash game UI,” well, that’s probably because all I did was reuse a bunch of free assets…

In my last post, I mentioned wanting to add a way to pause the game and to make certain phases “timeout” if the player doesn’t take an action without a set time. And, well, I did that! First, I had to make an “escape menu” that is brought up whenever the player presses the Esc…
