Our Story
We are a tiny, dedicated indie team, motivated by the lack of sim football options and determined to deliver a customizable football simulation with a deep franchise mode and dynamic gameplay. Our budget for the 2018 game was about $15,000, and the majority of that came from sales from Axis Football 2017. Our small team works on this game during nights (and often early mornings) and weekends, relying on our day jobs to sustain our families and our passion for sim football gaming and the support of the community to continue to improve the Axis Football franchise.

The Future of Axis Football
Axis Football has come a long way in three years, but it's certainly not where we want it to be in terms of graphics and depth of features. We made huge strides from last year and have even bigger plans for what we can accomplish next year. Your purchase and support of this game helps to make those plans a reality. We heavily reinvest back into the game, and we hope that is evident with the progress we've made. We plan to release annual versions of the game with improvements to graphics, animations, features, and more! Let us know what you'd like to see in the game, and share Axis Football with your friends!

Also would be nice if Danny could add in a logo editor in the team customization. Like a bunch of preset logos & alphabet logos . I want to mention it to him myself , but I don’t know how to get in contact with him alas.

Ya well, that's why I would ALWAYS recommend the PC version of anything if you have the system to do it - mods, mods, mods - NFL mods, NCAA mods, etc., etc. - you could do any logo you wanted yourself on PC with some graphical editing programs.

Well, better late than never for a PS4 release. I'll be glad to grab a copy, as it looks decent for an indie football game. If you can do that on a $15,000 budget, I'd love to see what you could do with a $150,000 budget.

Also, I've thrown this idea out a few times, but a Kickstarter would allow you guys a lot of money upfront to build the game.
