Is this only going to be on Facebook?

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

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.

Can you switch players to closest defender on defence during a play ?

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.

Dave, will this have 2 Player online capability at launch?

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.

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.

Re: Gridiron Heroes: TecMMO Super Bowl Reborn! OFFICIAL THREAD

Steam Early Access is a good idea. May want to consider that dave. Get an injection of cash, and at the same time have some very talented people beta test and help shape the game. A lot of people on Steam are very talented. Steam is re-inventing the way we game. And I for one am all for it. For to long we have had the likes of EA controlling everything, with their monopolistic practices. The old models are beginning not to work. Thank God.

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.
