Hello all,

This announcement is to inform you of the state of the game and what we have been working on since the launch also when the scheduled update will occur.

First of all....

We would like to apologize for not updating this game as frequently as we have planned to. There are several reasons for that and we do not want to beat around the bush. We want to be honest with you, hopefully this will give you a better view of what's happening behind the scenes in game development.

Much to our dismay, after the launch only a few core members stayed true to the team and SCORE and it's vision. We knew Score would need a lot of development it was never a "done' in a month" project. Others did not share these values and moved on to other projects. We wish them all the best success now and in the future.

As it stands we have been left with a very very small team. The small amount of sales has allowed us to keep the server running. The team has continued to be and remains active even though the current development is very slow. To those of you who have been with us from the start providing your amazing encouragement and positivity we appreciate you and we will not let you down! We want to see this game reach it's full potential, allowing us to deliver the vision you and we believe in.

On the other hand to have this game reach it's full potential we still require your feedback and suggestions. It is very important for us to receive participation and feedback from the communtiy.

We have implemented changes including the overhaul of the Soccer game mechanic it was done completely new and from scratch, we still plan to expand heavily on it . This includes the AI and game modes, until all features are implemented.

For the Professions and the City we listened to all your feedback and we decided because of the scope and irritations it has caused we will remove professions from this game until its implemented right.
For the City environment we are in the process of redoing the entire city and the island as well.
We are working on a complete new Pedestrian and Traffic AI to make it come alive and behave naturally. So it's a complete overhaul.
Because being a Soccer Player will be your only profession you will start earning money for every goal scored, every assists you made every win you took home.
With this earned money you will be able to buy clothes in shops, buy cars at the car dealership (already working), buy furniture and appartments or houses that will be available to purchase all around the city.
Mini games in the city will also be added The club mode in soccer is still in development.You will be able to create your own club and trade players or aquire real human players for your club, with that you will have the challenge to earn enough money for your club to keep those players season after season.

The last part of this announcement is explaining how we want to get there.

First of all we all know that game development is not cheap or easy
and to be able to create our and your vision for this game
we needed to make some choices.

We decided to support and work on two other games to help us fund this
game and quite frankly to partner up with some great talent. Studios have
approached us to support them with their games, by active development or
just helping them with publishing it. Which we did and we will tell you more
about those exciting games, when the time is right.

With this announcement which is long overdue we want to explain what's
behind the scenes and why games don't push updates after updates weekly.
We do not want to push half done broken updates. But we do want to assure
you that this game will get the development it deserves, it's the core teams
dream game that we want to play and love! Therefore we will never ever stop
working on it. We have planned great features for it but they have to make
sense not to confuse players of the reason for this game.
We came far without any kickstarter, outside funding.

Again we are reaching out to everyone who likes the idea of this game to
support us and shape it into the game we want to create, and a game we love
to play as it is our first game on steam.

A major update is expected to be in 2018.

Thank you!
