Initially, yea. We plan to have it available on an outside domain as well, but you'll still sign up with FB.

Is there a plan down the road to have the regular mode where you control the action on the field via controller. Thanks and good luck with this venture.

Makes sense. It's like original TSB.

You need to get this thing on Steam Dave... that's where the power lies.

Testify. Make it PC compatible, Put it on steam, make both coach option and player control option available with a controller, give early access to your backers, and sit back and count your stacks of cash.

ABSOLUTELY! That is the end game here and the reason for the rewrite.

Agreed. That is a rad thing about Unity. Once this gets rolling porting is a piece of cake.

Having a stand-alone app that connects to the pvp lobbies is certainly on our feature board, but without team licensing it seems strange, right?

Did you guys back the project by chance? We didn't get many OSers so just curious.

Overall, a p2p/pvp/head-to-head format is where this is going.

This. As long as FB is involved I won't touch it.

Steam on the other hand; I am all in.
