New patch released & Early Access ends August 22!

On August 22 Australian Football Coach will transition from Early Access to Full Release! If you haven't purchased yet you'll be able to pick the game up at a launch discount.

Version 0.11.0 is now live on the Steam servers as well! While this was intended to be a simple bug fix, this version went above and beyond a normal minor version so it had to be released as a major version. New features include a league overview screen, designed for when you want to sit back and watch the world simulate by; a pause simulation button, which literally lets you stop time; the ability to save lineups into one of three different slots; and an update to club shields, including a new shield which allows you to flip the primary and secondary text colours.

Bug fixes include issues with stadiums in custom leagues, team prestige never changing over time, and some issues with saving and loading, including with your team's list manager.

A hotfix is planned for later this week as well, as there's still a known crash when disbanding/adding teams to a league. Not entirely sure what the issue is yet, but as soon as it's patched version 0.11.1 will come out, along with some other possible bug fixes and minor feature additions.

There's still a small number of things to clean up before the game's full release, which will signify the end of the 2020 development cycle, though bug fixes will still be applied after the 22nd as needed. Thanks again for all your support!
