The rebirth of a cult-classic with an added twist! Gridiron Heroes isn't just fantasy football—it's every sports fan's fantasy!

We developed Gridiron Heroes to address a void in today's social gaming scene. There's been nothing for the American football fan. Gridiron Heroes will change that, utilizing Facebook as the platform for the ultimate head-to-head competition in American Football GM-style Simulation.**

Trailer - http://youtu.be/wVjcupRPzQk
Gameplay - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...D&feature=plcp

Check out our Kickstarter project! - http://kck.st/wQNMgW

All-New Gameplay!
Offense: Shotgun, Singleback, Option, Wildcat, I-Formation & MORE!
Defense: 3-4, 3-3-5, 4-3, 4-6, Dime & MORE!
We're bringing it back!

You manage your franchise and take them head to head-to-head in a coaching simulation. How you setup your strategy affects how the AI will react against another user's team. Want to throw Hail Marys every play? It's on you! Love to blitz? Why not!

I would love your guys feedback!

Not sure where you got any of that info, but, no additional pledges are necessary.

How do I get in on this, and is it compatible with an Xbox controller hooked up to Windows? Thanks.

Dave, will this have 2 Player online capability at launch?
 
# 286 LingeringRegime @ 05/08/14 11:16 PM
Is this only going to be on Facebook?

We'll announce the public beta shortly. Shooting for 10 days after the KS beta2.

There won't be controller support with the opening release as the game runs in coach-mode.

Not possible on original tsb. Just wondering.
This release is coach-mode. In the PVP (man-controlled) release, no, it won't be possible. We found in our play testing that it changes the dynamic too much on the short and narrow field.

No, this release will be full-on asynchronous. The next plan is to roll out COA vs COA, if you will. Lastly, roll out the PVP (MAN vs MAN) version.

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.

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.

Quick gameplay update video.
 
# 298 jyoung @ 05/11/14 05:40 PM
Is the screen resolution being designed for a modern 16:9 ratio?

If so, that alone will be a welcome improvement over Tecmo Bowl's old 4:3 ratio.

Yes, and the field view is ~27% wider. You can see wayyyyy down field now. Haha.

Unfortunately I have not and won't sign up for facebook. I am also mainly a single player gamer. If it gets on steam and offers a lot of features including single player mode and controlling the players via a controller, I will pledge $60 to help your cause.
