Yeah, noticed that bug and held off releasing until yesterday (Sunday). I should also mention the per-requisites more clearly and/or put up a Debian file with all the dependencies. With that said, the Windows version works under Wine fine, it's a cross-native build from Linux. New demo up and v1.0 is out! After 8 years, 167k lines of code (half of them belong to the nearly 6,000 tests!), I nervously put this out there. Center Ice Hockey v1.0.0 is out today. [Itch.io link] The goal was never to make another ultra-complicated hockey simulator. I wanted something that was immediately fun to pick up and play, while still giving hockey fans enough depth to build a season or franchise around. It has: 🏒 Fast arcade-style gameplay 🏒 Season, Franchise, Playoffs, and Best-of-Seven 🏒 Local and online multiplayer (need feedback on this mode the most, I could only test but so much) 🏒 Hundreds of teams across multiple leagues 🏒 Trades, free agency, waivers, farm systems, and injuries 🏒 Player/team/roster/presentation customization. You can add logos, create your own database, drop in your own images for players, customize the in-game HUD so far. 🏒 Different team strategies and playing styles 🏒 Practice mode for just getting on the ice and playing It's been a long road getting here, and I'm still planning to keep improving it based on feedback and some ideas I still haven't implemented (music player, diddy importer, more). Graphics overhaul incoming as well. Free v.1.0 demo, the old 0.9.9 one I removed. Paid version gets you the Linux, Windows, Android, and Switch full release. I highly recommend trying the demo first and encourage anyone to support if you can. Times have been hard over the past year, finally getting myself back on my feet. I should strongly emphasize this: the game is customizable. You can create your own custom database with players/leagues of your choice if you know SQL. There are spots to add custom graphics, including the rink. Making this customizable was also a goal from day 1.

Hmmm, I may try to reverse engineer Monopoly Tycoon (the old one).

Didn't realize any frontier models allow for reverse engineering commercial games, that's usally a no-no for AI. I figured something like hat would probably need to be done by an abliterated/uncensored model, locally. I'm not trying to do a port/clone, the graphics used so far was just to get it done. Me doing the graphics didn't work out & commissioning an artist wasn't an option until late in the process. Planning to do that in the coming months or just spend the time getting better sprites artistry myself.

I think that's a differnt game. I'm only only on itch.io. Free demo is up, but there is a lot fixed that's not there. Most of it is Season/Franchise mode stuff that's not in the demo, but some of it is obvious issues in the demo. Still, I'm planning to work on the game and improve on it until it becomes something people enjoy. The simulation piece is the best part and that can use some improvement, too.. Going along with the theme of this thread, someone else is working on a modern game, too. I don't mind hyping up someone ele's game, I'm enjoying on watching the progress of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmFZORFnU_s

Center Ice Hockey - arcade hockey, built for the long haulFast 6-on-6 arcade hockey. Deep simulation underneath. Free demo planned for autumn 2026.

Not really new, but I can't seem to log into my old profile. Anyhoot, hi there. I'm working on a game. We'll, it's done, just polishing it up. Should be on Itch.io Friday. I need to do a lot of updates tomorrow in regards to getting the word out. Was targeting later this month, but it's time to get this out the door. Edit: for financial reasons, going to wait until next wee Wednesday, the 16th. Gives me time to tweak a few things and test online modes more. I'll update the devlog on https://willsams.itch.io/center-ice-hockey throughout the weekend. Itch.io/center-ice-hockey
