My programming adventure: a Baseball Manager

[palli]

Hi,

Maybe someone is interested in my "little" project.

Some details:

I work on this project for more then one year and last week I went public with a small webpage and forum. So anyone who is interested in the development of a baseball manager can come and visit the site, get more informations and look at the first 3 screenshots. I will write updates on the board on a regular basis (almost every day). Everyone can write ideas for the game and discuss the stuff already in the game.

Btw, like the guy from Ootp I´m from Germany so excuse my bad English.

And I don´t know why so many people from Germany write baseball manager games. But I´m at the same university as Markus was, in fact, I started when Markus made Ootp his fulltime job. :)

The game is written in C++.

So come to my page and give me some feedback. :)

The webpage is: Perfect Game (http://www.perfect-game-baseball.com)

It looks really good. Too bad the market is saturated already - my opinion only - with OOTP, EA Game MLB, and of course the best of all three, Baseball Mogul. Advice Palli, either $12.0M or $12,000,000, but nobody likes to read $12000000. Minor detail that can become really frustrating.

Thanks for the hint with the contract, I will change this asap.

I never liked Baseball Mogul much, I think it has some problems with the game-engine (just my opinion). I know that I will never have the success of Ootp but to finish my game and some people like it would be great for me and maybe more people then I expect right now like it. :)

Anyway, maybe you are interestet in my project then come to the board, register and post some ideas.

Finally, after more then 1 year of hard work I released the first Demo (0.1a) today.

You can "just" sim every season from 1901 to 2004 and look at League-, Team- and Player-Stats but it is a beginning. The final version is planned for April 2006 so I have about 6 month left to add more stuff.

Everyone who is interested can download the demo here:

Congrats on getting your first demo out. I'm not a baseball fan, but being a fellow programmer, I envy you achievement. :)

We changed some stuff with our project page, I will now write a Blog about every week to document the process of my project. The first 3 Blogs are already online with more to come in 2006.

If you are interested to follow the development of a baseball text-sim game by two students from Germany just visit my project page at:

4 brand new screenshots of the In-Game mode can be found at the end of the 2. Blog.
