The (not so small) Small Print!!

If you love Soccer/Football, or you love tactical/strategic games, or both – we think you will love TableTop Soccer. But! Here some things you should know about this game before you buy:
- TableTop Soccer requires an internet connection – Even when playing Solo games against the AI, you need to be online. This might be changed in a later update, but right now that's a requirement;
- TableTop Soccer is visually very simple; it's not a AAA title! It favors gameplay over graphics – this game will never tax your video card's capabilities;
- There is no offside rule!! That might sound crazy to you, especially if you haven't played the game yet, but I think it makes sense – for this game, at this time... If the community that plays the game starts to feel differently, I can add that back in!

V5 Beta Available Now - Live Next Week

Greetings TTS Players!

So I have finally got V5 of TTS ready to go out - but before I do the full live launch I thought I'd share the the latest build as a beta for any players that want to jump in and check it out!

IMPORTANT NOTE!
The beta build is played on a new Server. I copied data from the live server to the new server about a week ago, so you may find things are a little out of date (if you changed your player/team names etc).

When the game goes live, any progress/matches/changes you made on the beta server, will be lost. Your account/info on live will stay exactly as it is now, and will be transferred over to the live V5 server at launch.

What should I be testing?
There has been tons of changes in V5, if you played TTS much at all - you will notice them. The main difference is in new abilities you can unlock for players, and the associated new boosts. I will paste the text I am going to add to the store below here so you can see all the changes that are in this version. (Like OFFSIDE, In Game Chat & TooTips(!!))

What if I have feedback?
As always, you can message me in steam, post in a discussion (I dont care if you talk about beta in public forums anyone can join beta if they have the game). And emailing me is always great too if you have a lot to say! admin@tabletopsoccer.com

How to get the Beta?
In your Steam library, find TableTop Soccer, right click, Properties, BETAS, and from that dropdown, you just select "beta - Public Beta Branch". Steam should then download the update for you.

Do you have Linux?
If you are a linux user, I would really appreciate if you could test out the beta build. I had a lot of users have trouble with the last build and I believe it should all be fixed now - the more people can test this for me the better!

Here is the text of the update I am going to post when it goes live. It's all true, except the Android part as its not live yet.. (I'm currently waiting for approval for iOS and Android versions)

V5 has finally arrived - and it was worth the wait! This build includes many new features, changes and improvements to the game. Some highlights:

New Platform:
Android! You can now get TTS for PC/Mac/Linux, iOS and Android! And much more importantly you can link your accounts together - start playing a game from your PC, continue on your phone, then pick it up later on your Tablet. Plus get notifications on your Droid/iPhone/Tablet when a game is ready for you.

New Features:

Player Abilities
[list]
Players now have unlockable abilities which give you access to new tricks in game - Slide Tackle, Lob Pass, Expert Shooter and Curve Kick. Each one costs 125 points, and the limit of 300 points per player still applies - so you are going to need to customize your players to balance your team. Having an ability unlocked allows that player to use the associated Boost in game.

Reworked Boosts System

You now start each match with a set number of each Boost type, there is no longer a 8 max limit. You now have to much more careful when choosing to use a precious Combo Boost..

Powerups

You can optionally choose to enable Powerups when starting new games*. The game will randomly generate Powerups into empty squares on the pitch. If one of you players runs into one, your Boost count will increase for whichever type of boost you just collected. If an opponent gets it first, it’s gone, and the ball is kicked through a powerup it will disappear.

Adjustable Game Length

When starting a Solo game, or when challenging a friend (live or resumable) you can choose how long the game will be - 30, 46 or 60 turns.

Offside

As is so often the case with offside, this one might be controversial… You can no longer pass the ball past the last defender.

Extra Time/Injury Time

If a game is about to come to an end, and the score is still tied, a random amount of extra turns will be added to the game.

In-Game Chat

During games there is a new chat icon (next to the opponent team’s name) to open the chat panel. Messages are exchanged at the end of the current turn. Please be nice to each other.

Taller Goal

The Expert Shooter Ability allows you to shoot at top row of targets when shooting at the goal. The goal has been made taller so that you can use this to shoot over the heads of defenders (if done correctly)

More Points

In addition to new players starting with more points, points are now acquired must faster.

AI Formation

The AI Team (Evil Machines) now changes its teams formation quite frequently.

New House / Lighting Model

The play area for the game (the background house setting) and the lighting have been changed. I’ve removed the stadium lights (shadows were just too crazy). Shadows can now also be turned off/on in the Graphics Settings.

ToolTips

There are now ToolTips in a few places - the Customize Players page (to explain what all the stats actually do), and in the game (over the boost icons, the chat button, the turn timer)

Should be helpful for new players, you can turn off the tooltips in Settings -> General screen.
