Cant be long for the game to be in testing. Can it?

Haha no, sorry isn't yet in testing

if you check my blog, I keep it updated with my progresses. Is missing:
- player transfers
- end of season adjustements (player retiring, promotion/relegation)
- CPU & player substitutions during the match

I suppose 1 more week of work, if I don't have other "external problems" like is happening recently... :roll:

one question:
is USM avaible in german?

by **jack1974** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 4:52 pm

The version 1.0 won't be, however - all the texts in the game (exception for the buttons text, but I guess isn't a big problem!) can be edited from an external texts.ini file.
So hopefully some volunteer will offer german and other languages translation services :lol:

Sounds great! can't wait to play the beta of USM2... maybe end of this month? looking at your blog latest post, seems that is very close to be released!

Any chance of another update?

Yes I do read your blog but just thought i would ask.

I'm making the load/save screen right now, forgot about it :oops:

Still have to do the player transfers and the end of season though, that part will take some time...!
Also at moment the coach can't change team. And is a thing I want absolutely to have already in version 1.0!

So... yes still quite some work! aRRRGH

An update: still working on the load/save, there are some problems with the ratings. Fixed many bugs :oops:

The game can be played already but would make no sense to release a beta now, since you wouldn't be able to load/save!

Hate to repeat myself but... we're getting there!!

Fixed a lot of bugs, and load/save seems to work fine. I need to do player transfers and end of season calculations and possibility for the manager to change team.
Then I'll release v 1.0 to test and if everything is good, on sale. I plan to adopt a sort of "open source" release, meaning that I'll keep updating USM2 for a good while after the release adding new features and making monthly updates until it reaches a very good status. This way, I'll be able to add new stuff and at same time have people test it immediatly to avoid bugs :lol:

Just another quick update: player transfers works!!! :twisted:

Yeah finally you can buy/sell players... still there are some minor problems, isn't very realistic (good players joins you even if you're a poor team!) but at least the big step is done.

Now have to tweak it...
