EBM Sports: Football - Development Blog
Hi guys!
I wanted to drop a note to the forum to announce that I've started a development blog for a future football text sim simply titled EBM Sports: Football. You can find the first entry by visiting my site at http://www.ebmsports.com As you will see from the blog, the expected release date for the game isn't until next year, but since I've already put in four months of work on the sim engine and am moving onto other parts of the game, I felt that it would be in my best interests to publically detail the design and development process. By doing this, I feel that I can solicit comments and suggestions from the public along the way and have your opinions influence the direction of development. If you have an interest in following along, I encourage you check in every week and take part in the discussion. Thanks, Todd (VPI97) |

I love that you have a kid in a Phillipsburg HS Stateliners practice jersey on there.
Good luck!

I find the lack of orange and maroon on your website disturbing.

If you have never been to IHOF or GEFL, check out the almanac's there. Those are works of art that should give you a sense for the attention to detail that Todd is capable of delivering.
I was concerned with Todd's project being overwelmed by his work and real life, but 4 months of work has already been done says that this project could very well become reality. Good luck, Todd, the text-sim community is pulling for ya! |

My thoughts exactly. If it was right or wrong I don't know, but I was kind of offended some jackass would come on here and post this. Then I saw it was VPI and it all went away. Very cool VPI, best of luck.

This isn't just any run-o-the-mill forum lurker (i.e. me) coming out with news of an upcoming sports sim.. this is the legendary VPI... very promising indeed
Looks very interesting.. I was wondering, on the site you're talking about having college and high-school "modules" as a future concept.. does this mean that you would, possibly, be able to run all "levels" in the same universe? i.e. no separate games, with import/export files back and forth, but a common database?

I remember when you made an Almanac for FOF 2K1. I was also briefly in the GEFL. You have a lot of skills, and great ideas. I will be following this project closely.

wow! I dunno if this is something that most of you guys knew about, but, not following IHOF this is brand new to me. I wish you the best, VPI, and will be following closely along.

This is a potential dream come true. I may finally get to play a football text sim that I actually like.

Good luck. I look forward to purchasing this not only to support the FOFC community but also to support football developers.

Knowing firsthand what Todd brought to IHOF and GEFL, this is a very exciting development for football text sims.

Can I pre-order the pro and college game yet. I am leaning towards getting the high school game too.
Best of luck |

Holy crap VPI is behind this... I'm pretty sure I would buy anything VPI sold me sight unseen.
