    Dynasty Football: Q&A With Creator Eric Kneipfer


    I recently had a chance to do a pretty thorough Q & A with Eric Kneipfer, the mind behind and creator of Dynasty Football, which hopes to follow in the footsteps of such great PC simulation games as Out of the Park Baseball, Front Office Football, and Football Manager. It's with this vision, and a passion for sports and indie gaming, that Eric comes to Operation Sports to tell us about the game. Read on to find out the details!

      Speaking with Eric, I can't help but root for him to succeed. He has a passion and a vision for this game, and while I may be a bit biased, I believe in what this game is trying to accomplish.

        Sounds awesome. I hope everything works out. I will be checking for it. I'll check the Kickstarter campaign as well.

            I wish it had a way to play the college game, but I'm still very interested!

              Looks like it might be pretty good, from the youtube video the only thing that bothered me was how the field scrolled.
              I think a smoother transition or just zoomed out slightly would do wonders (and save me from going cross eyed)

                      Thanks for all the support I've received the last few days, everyone. The Kickstarter campaign for Dynasty Football is going to start around July 1st. I'll post a link here when it's ready to go.

                      I've already received some great help with the presentation side of the game. I think the end product is going to look much more slick than what I have here. Kickstarter money will go to the people who work with me.

                      Sorry to say that the game will only be on the PC

                      I have no idea what I will charge when it's finished. What do people think?

                            Good question. I really think you would need a mouse to access the context menus and to draw the patterns for play design - it would be very awkward with a controller (PS4's touchpad is might be a close approximation though). The good news is this game won't be a heavy drain on PC resources so any PC would work (although a fast PC would be beneficial for simming games).

                            A tablet would work pretty well though using a touch screens instead of a mouse. It would be like drawing plays in the sand when you were a kid. Maybe if this version is successful...

                              Most of the text based games I have bought have been around $35.00 But I have no idea for a game just starting. Around $30 or so seems fair.

                              You could do something similar to what OOTP does. Preorder by a certain date and get $5.00 off and the game 3 days early.
