v0.7.10 Crash fix

Simon Dalvai — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:45:00 +0000

I hopefully found the bug that showed about 10% crash rate on Google Play Console. It was a bug with the new team view tab change buttons. When the last or first tab was open and then the arrows where clicked, the game crashed. A simple out of bounds error, but I added some asserts now, so that this won't happen again.</p>

Here the full changelog as usual.</p>

Fixed</a></h2>

UI

Team view: fix crash when clicking arrow buttons near tab buttons</li> </ul> </li>

v0.7.9 Change teams

Simon Dalvai — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 14:45:00 +0000

Now it is finally possible to change teams during a save game. This allows also to start without a team and choose one from the job board. There are no contract negotiations or any other checks if you can be signed for a team. Every month the job list updates with new teams that randomly open their doors for new managers. Upcoming versions will extend this, with proper contract negotiations. A club board will also be added soon, that defines goals and will fire you, if you under-perform.</p>

This version also brings an improved match UI flow. The transition from the overview to a highlight or goal scene is now more consistent. Changing players now pauses the game. Some buttons have been removed or moved to match settings. In general the match should now feel more immersive and easier to interact with.</p>

There are now also two new languages: Catalan and Japanese. Even if they are less than 10% complete, I wanted to add them anyway to attract more translators. The initial language picker shows now only languages that are at least 50% translated. That languages can still be set in the settings screen.</p>

The transfer list has now also a new design, showing a box instead of pure text. This makes it easier to interact with the list, especially on mobile. The list is now also sorted, by always showing the latest transfer offers on top.</p>

Additional to that some bugs have been fixed and other minor improvements are included.</p>

There is now also a public roadmap</a>, that shows planned features and known bugs. This list is still missing some stuff, but it will be completed these days.</p>

Here the full changelog as usual.</p>

Devlog May 2026

Simon Dalvai — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 19:30:00 +0000

This month 4 versions have been released. Well, actually only 2, because the second one was a hotfix and the last one a balancing update.</p>

0.7.5 custom team logos</a></li>
0.7.6 hotfix</a></li>
0.7.7 first tactics and feedback</a></li>
0.7.8 goal balancing</a></li> </ul>
16k downloads</a></h2>
In just 2 months the game got over 16k downloads on Google Play. With over 100 ratings and 80 reviews making a total score of 4.6 stars. This is a huge success for me and shows the true potential of the game. I also got a lot of feedback from mobile users and that helps a lot to improve the game further. Overall the Android release was a big win for the game and the community. Let's see if the game keeps this rapid user growth over time.</p>
F-Droid progress</a></h2>
I made some progress on the reproducible builds for F-Droid, but still without success. If it doesn't work the next month, it will be released without reproducible builds on F-Droid. Any help with this is very appreciated on Gitlab</a>.</p>
Financial situation</a></h2>
I'm working now full time on this game for 21 months, since September 2021. This whole time I'm living on my personal savings, without any funds from third parties. Until now I made just a few hundred Euros with the game with Steam sales. With taxes and all other fees, I will probably close the second year in negative.</p>
Now my savings are slowly shrinking and the game is still very far from a financial success. Said that, probably next year I will have to do some freelance work again, to earn some money. The goal is to release v1.0 by the end and then keep working on this and other sport editions. But probably only part time, while doing other work to pay my bills. So be assured that I will continue working on the 99Managers series also next year.</p>
If you want to make it possible that I keep working full time, consider buying the game on Steam. Or if you need an experienced Godot developer, feel free to contact me!</p>
In the next weeks I might add an payed but empty donation DLC to Steam. There will also be an payed but empty "Thank you Simon" app on the Google Play Store. So there are more ways to support me financially, without relying on ads or in-app purchases.</p>

v0.7.8 Goal balancing

Simon Dalvai — Sat, 30 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

A minor match balancing to reduce goals amount and some translations have been improved. The Godot renderer has been reset to compatibility, since the mobility showed increased crashes.</p>
Here the full changelog as usual.</p>
Fixed</a></h2>

Match Engine

Fix kick-in positions, if ball exits top line</li>
Balance goals by reducing shoot probability</li> </ul> </li> </ul>

v0.7.7 First tactics and match feedback

Simon Dalvai — Tue, 26 May 2026 16:35:00 +0000

Now you have more influence over the matches with the first tactics and match feedback. You can set the play style to defensive, balanced or offensive. The play style defines how often players shoot on goal and their field positions. The tackle intensity can also be instructed now with moderate, balanced and aggressive. This can be useful if you really need to win and want to get control of the ball, even with fouls.</p>
Players have now also a match morale, that affects their performance. Happy players shoot more goals and defend better than angry ones. This is influenced by the current result, but also by your feedback. Now the manager can tell the players positive, neutral and negative feedback. Depending on the state and importance of the match, players react accordingly.</p>
This two features improve the match immersion and make them more interesting. You no longer can blame only your players for loosing ;-)</p>

New regional pricing on Steam

Simon Dalvai — Wed, 13 May 2026 18:15:00 +0000

About a month ago Steam announced Updates to Pricing Conversion Tool</a>. This introduces a new pricing conversion method: Purchasing Power Conversion. This method takes local purchasing power into account and adapts pricing accordingly. It reduces the price by more than 50% for certain regions like South America and Asia.</p>
Therefore I updated the price for my game for most The price remains the same in Europe with 10€ and the US with $10. It has been reduced in countries like Brazil from R$ 33,00 to R$ 25,00. Also in Indonesia the price has been reduced from Rp 91 000 to Rp 50 000. I chose this two as example, because currently over 50% of downloads on Android come from there.</p>
You can see the pricing in you region directly on Steam</a>. How the game is priced in other regions is visible on SteamDB</a>.</p>
Fair full number pricing</a></h2>
I manually adapted the suggested pricing of 9.99 to 10, so to have a full number. This was made in all currencies, to have a full number pricing, where possible. This was already the case before this update.</p>
I simply don't like the .99 pricing method of tricking buyers into seeing a lower price. For this game, I can set the price on my own and therefore chose to go against this trend.</p>
Price changes after Early Access</a></h2>
The game is still in Early Access on Steam and a lot of development is in progress. I plan to finish v1.0 of the game this year around November, with all main features implemented. The game will still get updates and new features after that date. Once v1.0 is out, I might update and increase the price for the game. I think about something between 15€ to 20€, or a 50% to 100% price increase in your region.</p>
I'm still not sure if I will do this, but I think this amount is a fair price. Especially if considered that the game is Open Source and can be played for free on other platforms. By buying the game on Steam you support my work and allow me to do this full time.</p>
Another option could be to add an empty "Donation DLC" to Steam and keep the price the same. This would allow players that really like the game to support my work even more.</p>
Let me know what do you think about this changes on social platforms or at info@99managers.org</a>. Is it too much or too little? I would love to hear your feedback and if you would support this price adaptions for v1.0.</p>

v0.7.6 Hotfix

Simon Dalvai — Fri, 08 May 2026 11:15:00 +0000

The update from yesterday that introduced custom team logos also introduced a bug that caused issues when saving data, especially on Windows. This has now been solved and I will do more testing on Windows from now on to prevent such issues.</p>

Devlog April 2026

Simon Dalvai — Sun, 03 May 2026 12:50:00 +0000

Android, continental cups and my first money earned with game development. A lot of exiting things happened and 2 new version where released.
Here you can read the changelog of every single version.</p>

v0.7.3</a></li>
v0.7.4</a></li> </ul>
Finally continental cups</a></h2>
Now the game has continental cups and you can compete with teams all over the world. For now the cup logic is kept simple and the editor only allows basic changes to the cup.</p>
The next step will be a dynamic cup system, that allows to create all kind of competitions. For example a world cup, where all continental cup winners can compete for the ultimate title. It will also be possible to define start/end dates, price money and other details. This should also allow to create multiple league divisions on the same pyramid level. Many real world competitions use this system in lower leagues. Anyway this system needs a lot of work and testing, therefore it will take some time.</p>
Android is here, by accident</a></h2>
At the time of writing, over 6000 users downloaded the game for free from the Google Play Store. This is a huge success and this is now by far my most successful Android game. The game is designed to be played on the computer and therefore on big screens. So I increased the font sizes for smaller screens, but it is still not optimal. For that reason I did not expect that so many users download and like the game on mobile.</p>
The release was actually accidental. Because I was not ready to release yet, turned on managed releases on the Google Play console. That way I can decide manually, when the app will be released to the public. In the meantime, I made some changes to the store listing and let Google review the changes. But I did not know that by asking for a new review, previous changes go online. So my game was released on the store without knowing and for 3 Euros. Only after 2 days I discovered this, when the Play Console had an issue while processing payments.</p>
I was not even sure at that time, if I want to sell the game or make it free. This accident meant that I had to decide quickly on how to price the game. Finally I decided to make it free for Android and keep selling it only on Steam. This is what other notable FOSS projects like Mindustry</a>, Pixel Dungeon</a> (and it's forks) do. Even Krita</a> is payed Steam and other stores, but free on mobile and other platforms.</p>
I guess the idea is to use mobile stores as "free" marketing. That visibility boost can increase sales on desktop stores. Mobile users are used to free games and apps packed with ads and in-app purchases. Therefore selling apps and games there is not impossible, but much harder than on desktop.</p>
Offering a free game without ads and micro transactions should make it also more popular. My game got over 40 5-star reviews this month. The Steam sales did not go up yet, but I think (and hope) this might take some time. Currently the game is getting around 500 downloads a day from the Google Play Store. The game is also top ranked in many countries under the free new sport games charts. This gave the game a big boost in downloads and visibility. I guess without this top ranking, I would not get 500 downloads per day.</p>
Reproducible Godot builds for F-Droid</a></h2>
The game will also be available on F-Droid very soon. This takes more time than planned, because I want to make the F-Droid build reproducible</a>. Reproducible builds allow to rebuild the exact same bit-by-bit executable. This way F-Droid can verify my built is exactly the same as they built on their servers. So they can distribute my build with my own singing keys on F-Droid. That allows to download compatible updates also from other sources.</p>
If I get this to work, all other Godot games and apps can create reproducible builds too. I spent some days to fix most issues and there are still a few files that differ between the builds. So I decided to take a break and to continue working on the game for now and not rush this process. I really hope v0.7.5 will be reproducible and therefore also available on F-Droid.</p>
What about iPhone</a></h2>
Shortly after the Android release, some users asked for an iPhone version. This game is open source and licensed under the AGPLv3-or-later</a> license. According to what I read online, it is not compatible with the Apples App Store Terms and conditions. I'm not a lawyer and neither do I have the funds to hire one to understand if this is correct. So for now there is no iPhone release planned.</p>
A reddit user pointed out that it might be compatible with the altstore</a>. But after reading their docs it seems really difficult to release something there. At least I was not able to understand the exact process for now. I will try to understand more about the store and the release process. But for now my main focus is still on the game itself.</p>
Another option would be to change to a license that is compatible with the Apple App Store. Any permissive license should work, but also a weak copyleft license, such as the MPLv2</a>. The MPLv2 also allows integrating proprietary SDKs, such as the Steam SDK. For this reason I already evaluated if the MPLv2 is the right fit for this project.</p>
For now I do not want to adapt the license to fit into non-free ecosystems and walled gardens. I feel the other way around makes more sense, where non-free stores open their doors. Strong copyleft software will never run on an iPhone, if developers and users don't push for it. The altstore and the EU regulations are already a sign for such change.</p>
Indonesian leagues in default data packs</a></h2>
Brazil is the country where most Android downloads came from. On the second place instead there is Indonesia. I saw that Indonesia has a big Futsal community and therefore decided to add Indonesian leagues. Now the default packs have 3 Asian nations and that makes the Asian cup also more competitive.</p>
I also added Indonesian names and surnames, to make it more realistic. Currently I simply get common names for a country from the Wiktionary</a>. While this works, it isn't the best solution and I will try to find better ways to get common names. There is a big discrepancy in amount and quality of names on the Wiktionary for different countries. If you have any suggestions or know an open licensed data source for common names let me know!</p>
My first fair</a></h2>
During April I also showcased the game for the first time at a local fair in Italy. I learned a lot and hope that some people discovered 99Managers during that days. On my personal blog I wrote a full blog post</a> on this event.</p>
My first money</a></h2>
I also got my very first payout from Steam this month. It is not much yet, but I'm really happy that I sold a Free and Open Source game. At the moment the sales are far from enough to be able to make a living from making FOSS games. My plan is to finish the Futsal Edition this year and see how things go. I should have enough savings to keep doing this for the rest of the year.</p>
Depending on how the sales evolve, I will get a part-time job in 2027 or do some freelance work. No worries, I will continue working on 99Managers and start to cover also other sports soon. But life happens and bills need to be payed, so I have to earn money someway. If you know a grant that is open for FOSS games like mine, please let me know! I already unsuccessfully applied to nlnet</a> and have not found any other opportunities yet.</p>
Crowdfunding could be another option, but I have no experience with that. If you think that could work for my game or you can share some experience on that, let me know :-)</p>

This version finally arrives also on Android! The big font size has been increased and many UI elements have been adapted for touch screens.

Devlog March 2026

Simon Dalvai — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:30:00 +0000

In-game editor, player statistics and a lot of work done for the first Android version. March was brought a lot of great features, that improved the game a lot.</p>
Here you can read the change log of every single version released in March 2026.</p>

v0.7.0</a></li>
v0.7.1</a></li>
v0.7.2</a></li> </ul>
In-game editor is here</a></h2>
This month I finally released the in-game editor! Now it is possible to customize leagues, teams and players by creating data packs. Data packs can then be used when starting a new game. They can also be easily shared with others by exporting/importing them as zip files. Everything is saved as csv files, so it is possible to edit data in bulk with spreadsheet editors.</p>
I also released a showcase video on Youtube</a>. Let me know if you face any issue or have suggestions about UI/UX.</p>
Steam-Demo is back</a></h2>
Now it is possible again to play a free Demo version of the game on Steam. I released the full game as first Demo for the Steam Next Fest in October 2025. After that I removed the demo to go into Early Access.</p>
Now I decided to release the demo again. Everything works as in the normal game, also the editor but is limited to one season. The progress can be transferred to the full version easily, trough the Steam Auto-Cloud.</p>
I hope this reduces the amount of refunds I got (~20% at time of writing). It should also increase the general visibility on Steam. The full game is still available for free on other platforms such as Flathub or itch.io. The demo exists mainly for people who don't know what open source means.</p>
Referees and first sound effects</a></h2>
During the match you can see now 2 referees follow the ball along the side lines. On kickoff, goals and breaks a whistle sound effect is played. This is the first sound effect of the game, aside the notorious button click sound ;-)</p>
I had even more sound effects added, like crowd chants and the shoe squeak sounds. But they felt not right and I wanted to release the in-game editor, so my focus was there. I hope this month I find time and good sound effects to make the game more immersive. I even bought a recording device, to record my own sound effects.</p>
The referees are still very basic and don't do much. But I plan to add yellow/red cards soon and let the referee enter the field and show the card. It would also be really cool seeing the referee doing the counting for kick-ins.</p>
1000 Stickers</a></h2>
Last month I designed my new logo and this month I decided to print stickers. Now I have over 1000 stickers and will share them at events.</p>
Just let's hope I don't redesign the logo, again ;-)</p>
Android version is coming soon</a></h2>
Last month I wrote about plans for an Android version. I still have some things to fix, like font size and that everything is usable with a touch screen. But the work is much less than expected and for that reason I decided to release is soon. A few days ago I created the Google Store page and sent the first mobile version for review.</p>
The game will cost between 1€ to 3€ depending on the region. Even if Google has no regional pricing, I manually set prices, to imitate Steam's regional pricing. In any case the game will be available for free as APK download. First on itch.io and Codeberg and later on F-Droid. I plan to release the game as reproducible build on F-Droid, and that takes some time.</p>
I hope that in April the first Android version will be ready, at least a test version. I will post on this blog, when the it is available!</p>
Freizeit Bozen/Tempo Libero Bolzano</a></h2>
From 16. to 20. April I will showcase my game at the local fair at Bolzano. Come visit my stand if you happen to be in Bolzano around this dates. I will bring plenty stickers too :-)</p>

v0.7.2

Simon Dalvai — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 16:00:00 +0000

What would sports be without statistics? v0.7.2 finally brings player statistics to the game! Now you can see how well players perform and base you decisions on real data.</p>
I really underestimated, how important statistics are and how they affect the game play. The game got instantly more interesting and I got hooked to it for the first time. I hope you enjoy this new feature too!</p>
Now it is also possible to assign shirt numbers to your players. Additionally to the usual minor improvements and bug fixes.
Here you can read the full changelog.</p>
Added</a></h2>

Shirt number editor</li>

v0.7.1

Simon Dalvai — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:45:00 +0000

The demo on Steam is back with v0.7.1! Now you can play 1 full season with the free demo version. After the season ends, the full version is required to continue or a new season can be started. There are two main reasons for this:</p>

The game has a quite high refund rate at 20% and I hope the demo reduces this</li>
A demo should increase the visibility of the game on Steam</li> </ol>
The version brings also some minor fixes to the editor and new translations for several languages.</p>

Devlog February 2026

Simon Dalvai — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 21:07:00 +0000

This month brought a new logo, Godot 4.6 and some major announcements!</p>
v0.6.1</a></h2>
The only version of February came with some minor bug fixes and UI improvements. You can find all detailed changes in the releases page</a> on Codeberg.</p>
It brought also a new logo</strong>, Godot 4.6</strong> and a new knockout visualization</strong>.</p>
I really like the final result and it makes the logo look much more professional.</p>
It took me some time, but now I know how to bend text in Inkscape. Simply write a text, draw a circle and after selecting both, click "Text" > "Put on path". There are plenty of videos and articles online that show how to achieve this.</p>
The new knockout visualization is great and finally shows the match tree to the final match. Previous version just showed the matches in a list. That made it impossible to understand how the tournament evolves over time.</p>
v0.7.0 coming in March</a></h2>
Because v0.6.1 is quite stable and did not need any urgent fix, I decided to work on new features. March will bring the first version of the in-game editor</strong> and match sound effects</strong>.</p>
The editor will allow to create and edit Data Packs</strong>. Data Packs contain data like league, team and player names. With this it will be possible to customize this data directly in the game. The old csv file customization using spread sheet tools is no longer needed.</p>
I hope to release this version soon, because it will be a major change on how the match feels. Sound makes everything much better and more immersive. The in-game editor will also allow more users to change the game how they prefer.</p>
Viral video on YouTube</a></h2>
This month a Brazilian YouTuber made a video of the game, that had over 30k views! This is awesome and made me really happy :-) It also shows the potential of the game in countries like Brazil and Portugal.</p>
You can watch the video on YouTube</a>.</p>
Videos like this can help me a lot to get more visibility and spread the word about the game. I hope more videos will follow in the future and probably I will also create more videos soon.</p>
Minor Price change on Steam</a></h2>
Today I updated the price of the game on Steam to whole numbers, where possible. This might be unconventional, but I personally find whole numbers pricing more honest and fair. Selling FOSS games is already fair and unconventional, therefore a fair price just makes sense to me.</p>
Instead of $9.99 and 9.75€ the games sells now for $10 and 10€. Steam does support regional pricing, so prices slightly changed also outside the € and $ zones. The biggest price reduction had the Polish Zloty from 45.99zł to 42zł. The biggest rise instead had the Swiss Franc from CHF 10.99 to CHF 12.00. Many others had just a small round up or down of a few percent to make a whole number.</p>
As usual I want to remind everybody that the game is FOSS and available for free on other platforms. By buying the game on Steam, you actively support the development of the game.</p>
Android version</a></h2>
In the YouTube video above the most asked question was if the game is available on mobile. Technically it already can run on mobile devices, but I have not released an Android version yet.</p>
The reason is my limited time and I currently focus on the game itself. Also the UI elements would be too small for a mobile phone screen. It already works well on tablet, but for phones I need to find another way.</p>
Another reason is that I still don't know how to price the game on mobile. I surely will not add ads or in-app purchases to the game. Pricing it same as on Steam would not work well, because mobile games usually don't cost 10€. For that reason it could be something between 1€ and 5€. The game would always stay free also on mobile, by getting it from F-Droid or the APK file.</p>
Another option could be to keep the game also free on Google Play Store to use that as marketing. If it is free, more players will play it and potentially buy it from Steam. But having multiple platforms where to sell the game would also be great.</p>
If you have suggestions on how to price desktop games for mobile please let me know!</p>
Anyways the game will be released for Android, but I don't know when. I will keep you updated on this!</p>
Note: The game will only be released on Android and not iOS, for now. The AGPLv3 license of the game is not compatible with the Apple Appstore. The only way to get it to iOS is trough alternative stores, but I know to little about that yet.</p>

v0.6.1

Simon Dalvai — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:10:00 +0000

Devlog January 2026

Simon Dalvai — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000

January was intense with a lots of refactoring of the game. While a lot changed behind the scenes, the game itself did not change much. Yet the game has now less bugs and crashes.</p>
v0.6.0 with breaking changes</a></h2>
The only version of January breaks a lot of things and all save games and settings are lost. I'm really hope that I did not cause too much troubles with this changes. This refactoring was needed and since so much changes, migrating files would has been too difficult. At least I haven't broken the monthly updates promise, by releasing it the last day of January ;-)</p>
You can find all detailed changes in the releases page</a> on Codeberg.</p>
Everything is a csv file</a></h3>
Now all files (save games, settings...) are saved as csv files and can be easily inspected. Having a unified file format makes it easier for future data migrations. All csv files also have headers now, so it can be easily seen what data a value represents.</p>
There's a running joke, that many sport management games are just spreadsheet simulators. Well, this game is it now for real!</p>
ECS like data structure</a></h3>
The data is now structured in a Entity Component System</a> way. It is not a real ECS, but I think it comes really close to it.</p>
Initially the game had a hierarchical data structure:
world -> continents -> nation -> league -> teams -> players
But this structure makes it really difficult to lookup values, such as players. To do that I have to iterate over the whole hierarchy. I partially solved this by saving some "indexes" for every player, to be faster. That allow to directly find players, by looking up the team/league/nation he was playing. Of course this was more than a quick hack than a real solution. This indexes had to be updated manually, every time a player moved team.</p>
Now I save all data flat inside a dictionary, with a unique id as key. To connect a player to a team, I save the team id to the player and the player id to the team. This still needs some manual work, but is much easier to maintain and to debug. Data loading and saving is also much easier and more direct now. I really hope this refactoring will pay off and make future development easier and less error prone.</p>
In-game data editor development started</a></h3>
With this update I had to disable the ability to create and load custom players csv files. I would have to adapt this to the new data structure, but it is not worth the effort imo. I started to develop the editor, that allows to create custom databases directly in-game. So it makes more sense put my focus on the tool that will replace custom players csv files.</p>
I hope to ship the first version of the in-game editor the next months. There it will be possible to choose which leagues and teams are activated. Future releases will extend the editor to allow also player changes. The final version instead should also be able to edit competition rules and more.</p>
New language: Chinese (Simplified Han script)</a></h2>
The whole game is now playable also in Chinese! It really warms my heart to see people from all over the world translating the game. I had to add an additional font</a> for Chinese characters. This increases the download size of the game by nearly 16MB, the exact file size of the font. So if you wonder why the update size is so big this time, it's the new packed font.</p>
Thanks to all translations contributors on Weblate, you are the best!</p>
Free Steam key giveaways</a></h2>
To increase the visibility of all official channels, the first Steam giveaway will happen today! At 19:00 GMT time, free Steam keys will be posted everywhere. The last character will be missing, so the first to guess the right character will get the game.</p>
Here are the links to all social channels, where the giveaways will happen</p>

v0.6.0

Simon Dalvai — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 20:10:00 +0000

The first update of 2026 comes with braking changes. The whole data structure has been changed and make existing save game non compatible. This was needed to create a more stable and flexible data structure to the game. Future releases will bring historical player statistics, attributes and much more.
Additionally this it the first release that is translated to Chinese (Simplified Han script). Thanks very much to all translations contributors making this possible!</p>

Devlog December 2025

Simon Dalvai — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 13:13:00 +0000

After a new year holiday break, I'm back!</p>
My first year as full time solo game developer is over and it was great. The game was released as Early Access and I sold over 100 copies on Steam. This shows the potential it has and that Open Source games can make money.</p>
v0.5.4 to v0.5.7</a></h2>
During December 4 versions have been released. Notable improvements are related to transfers and the match engine. There are now also more tests and quality checks, that will reduce bugs and errors in future.</p>
You can find all detailed changes in the releases page</a> on Codeberg.</p>
18 months of progress</a></h2>
Recently I found an old post on Mastodon with some screenshots of the game 18 months ago. This shows how much the game has evolved and it makes me really proud.</p>
The calendar</strong> and the whole dashboard had a complete redesign. The use of icons, better spacing, color gradients and a background make the game look much better. </p>
The formation screen</strong> looks also much better. The player list has better coloring and it looks much more polished. </p>
The match screen</strong> is the one that changed the most in my opinion. Not to mention the whole changes in the match engine itself. Well, actually in 2024 no real match engine existed at all. </p>
This progress fuels my motivation a lot and I can't wait to see how the game will evolve during 2026. Often I feel slow or that I don't make real progress. But exactly side by side comparisons like this ones, show me the opposite.</p>
FOSDEM 26 talk proposal not accepted</a></h2>
Sadly my talk about the game at FOSDEM got not accepted. It would have been a big opportunity to showcase it to people that also care about FOSS games.</p>
I will continue to submit talks at other conferences in 2026. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!</p>
2026 will get more technical</a></h2>
In 2026 I want to share more technical details on how the game was made. The game implements some interesting concepts and ideas that in my opinion are worth sharing. The match engine and how all the players data is saved as csv files are the best examples.</p>
I still don't know if I will publish one big blog post or multiple smaller ones. Anyway it will be a separate series, alongside to this general monthly devlogs.</p>
Website changes</a></h2>
This website has been re-organized and the text on the home page has been reduced. It has now direct links to socials, chats and where to get the game with a minimal description. The roadmap</a> and trademark policy</a> have now dedicated sites.</p>
No more Bluesky</a></h2>
I decided to no longer use Bluesky and only keep Mastodon</a> to post about the game. While my posts got some visibility on Bluesky, I simply prefer to use just Mastodon. I personally prefer Mastodon because it is truly federated and also has no user tracking. This might change in future, but for now I prefer to keep it simple and FOSS.</p>
Translation updates</a></h2>
There where also some minor changes to the translations repositories on Weblate. The store pages component has been deleted. The short and long description have been moved to the games about page. This unifies all translatable content to one single component. Both descriptions are now also shorter and more generic as this should prevent changes in future.</p>
The greatest news for me is the start of translations in Chinese (Simplified Han script). So the next release will also be partially playable in Chinese (13% translated at time of writing).</p>
New videos</a></h2>
I updated the short video with v0.5.5 and created also a longer video. In future there will be more longer videos, to show the actual gameplay. This is very useful for myself, when I want to show the game when I don't have a computer at hand.</p>

Short video on Youtube</a></li>
Long video on Youtube</a></li> </ul>
I wish you all a happy new year!</strong></p>

v0.5.6 brings yet again some fixes to transfers. Player can be bought again. Also the contract logic to sign free agents and renew contracts work again.

v0.5.5

Simon Dalvai — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 21:30:00 +0000

Frequently asked questions

Simon Dalvai — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 18:20:00 +0000

Answers to the most frequent questions.
If you feel something is missing, write me at info@99managers.org</a></p>
Last update May 5, 2026</p>
Why should I buy the game when I can get it for free?</a></h2>
By buying the game you actively support the development of the game. I work full time on the game, so making money with it is essential to continue the development. If I don't make enough, I might need to work again and drastically reduce the time I can work on the game.</p>
Can you please add my language?</a></h2>
If your language is missing it means that nobody has yet translated the game in that language. This game is translated by a community of volunteer translators on Weblate</a>. Everybody is welcome to join and translate the game and improve existing translations. Every language is welcome <3 also dialects or non-official languages.</p>
How can I contribute and help?</a></h2>
There are many ways to help the project.</p>

Tell you family, friends and the rest of the world about the game (my current marketing budget is 0€)</li>
Translate or fix texts on Weblate</a></li>
Code new features and fix bugs on Codeberg</a></li>
Report bugs on Codeberg</a> or however you can contact me.</li>
Improve the game graphics, UI design and user experience (just get in contact with me)</li> </ul>
What teams/players will be in the game?</a></h2>
There will be no real teams and players</strong> in the game. But the in-game editor allows to customize leagues, teams and players.</p>
What does Free and Open Source mean?</a></h2>
Imagine you have a recipe for delicious cookies. Now you want to share</strong> your recipe with the whole world, so everybody can use your recipe to create their own cookies. This is what Open Source</strong> means. It gives fellow bakers the ability to study</strong>, modify</strong>, use</strong> and redistribute</strong> your recipe.</p>
Some might want to change you recipe and add new ingredients or increase the baking time, to make them crisper. With Open Source, they are free to do so. But once they want to share their cookies with others, they also need to share their new recipe. This is what Free</strong> means. It assures that the recipe remains always available to all cookie lovers</strong>. So no bakery can use your recipe to sell cookies, without sharing the recipe with their customers.</p>
The combination of both assures that every person</strong> who eats cookies made with your recipe, also gets a copy of the recipe.</p>
Software is more complicated than cookies, but the concept is the same. It is written in code, that is the recipe</em> of software. And a software license</strong> defines, how the code is shared with the world, just like with your cookies.</p>
This software uses the AGPL-v3-or-later</a> license. You can read further about software licenses on the FSFE's website</a>.</p>
When will the game be available?</a></h2>
The game released as Early Access on Steam on November 7 2025. I plan to keep it in Early Access for around a year, until the game is stable, fun and has all features.
The game will of course stay available for free on itch.io, Flathub and Codeberg during the Early Access and also after the full release.</p>
Why the name 99Managers?</a></h2>
99Managers is technologically stuck in 1999, so only email is used for communication. No smartphones, social networks or similar. This is not written in stone, but I like the idea.
Another reason is related to the goal to create multiple editions for different team sports. So the 99 stands for many managers and who knows, maybe one day the series will feature 99 different editions.</p>

99Manager's Roadmap

Simon Dalvai — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 18:20:00 +0000

v0.5.4

Simon Dalvai — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 17:25:00 +0000

v0.5.4 brings a lot of improvements to transfers and match engine, once again. Now you can negotiate contracts with players and it is not possible to easily buy the best players. Transfer history is now also visible aside to the player morale.
In the match engine the players make now better offensive movements. More attributes affect now the match result.</p>

Devlog November 2025

Simon Dalvai — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 21:15:00 +0000

This month the game was finally released on Steam as Early Access on 7th of November! It was a historical moment for me, to release my first commercial game. I also attended two conferences and sent my first funding proposal.</p>
My first sales</a></h2>
At the time of writing I sold 51 copies of the game on Steam. This is surely not enough to be able to live from game development (yet). But I'm still very happy with the results! 51 people buying something I created feels good and shows that the game has potential.</p>
9 of those sold copies have been refunded, that makes a ~20% refund rate. The refund reasons are the following</p>

6 Not fun</li>
2 Purchased by accident</li>
1 Other issues</li> </ul>
After searching online, having around 10% refund is normal. Everything above means that there might be issues with the game. This of course depends highly on different factors, such as the price and quality of the game. Games that cost just a few Euros get much less refunds. My game is sold for 10€ and at the current state, this might feel too much. If I could go back, I would follow the advice I got. Start with a smaller price and gradually increase it, when more features are added.</p>
Anyway my game is quite unique, being also Open Source and available for free on other platforms. There are not many doing this and it can be difficult to compare stats with other proprietary games. Next time I will consider starting with a lower price.</p>
Not fun yet</a></h2>
The refund data clearly shows that the game is not really fun yet. I will work on this feedback for the next updates and hope to improve it, update by update. The player transfers where broken at first release and did not always work as expected. This has been fixed by now, but it is still too easy to buy players. As a third league team, you can buy top class players on first try. Additionally the match engine is still not really fun. Player and ball movements feel unnatural and the user has little influence on the final result.</p>
Transfers and matches are the core of manager games, all the rest is just keeping the ship afloat. So I really have to improve this two parts of the game, to make it finally fun. I plan to improve the in-game economy and transfer logic, to make it more realistic. This includes also improvements on the UI of all transfer related tasks. On the match engine side, I hope to add the first tactics to the game. This makes the player feel more involved and not just a passive observer of random results.</p>
v0.5.0 to v0.5.3</a></h1>
This month I released 4 updates that improved the stability of the game. Notable improvements are related to transfers and the match engine. You can find all changes in the releases page</a> on Codeberg.</p>
Transfer fixes</a></h3>
Transfers work now correctly and the biggest issues where related to wrong saving/loading of them. Implementing transfer logic is much harder than expected and caused several issues over time. Anyways, every version brings a better experience.</p>
New movements logic</a></h3>
The latest update improved also a lot the match engine performance and stability. The ball and players movements are now pre-calculated and that makes everything much easier. Instead of letting the ball move autonomously and having to check for collisions every few milliseconds, the engine calculates already the final destination of the ball. Now the engine already knows if a shot leads to a goal or a save, even before the shot starts. This allows now also to let all state machines run at the same ticks per second. Previously there was a more frequent update loop for collision detection and movements.
Also player attributes are now easier to take in consideration, while calculating the results. When a player shots, it's shooting ability gets compared with the goalkeeper ability. Both influence the final outcome.</p>
New translation contributors</a></h3>
The project got also new translation contributors. Especially for Portuguese (Brazil) and French, now both translated over 90%. Thanks a lot to all previous and new contributors!</p>
SFSCON 25</a></h2>
On 7 and 8 November I attend the yearly SFSCON</a> in Bolzano (Italy). This year my talk</a> about the game got approved. I really enjoyed getting to know nice people and getting new FSFE merchandise</a>. I have now also red socks that show, that I love Free Software <3. I hope to present now yearly updates of the game at the conference. Maybe next year I can fully release the game on stage!</p>
GodotFest 25</a></h2>
This month I also attended the GodotFest</a> in Munich (Germany), my very first game development conference. I got to know a lot of nice people from all over the world, that all have one thing in common: Creating games with the Godot Engine.</p>
I was surprised that there where many hobby developers, making it really accessible to everybody. I expected more business oriented folks, but was immediately proven wrong. Hands down, this was the best conference I attended so far, sorry SFSCON and FOSDEM ;-) Every talk interested me and I could talk with everybody about what cool things they are working on.</p>
It was also the first time I showcased my game in the public. While nearly nobody knew what Futsal is, I still got good feedback and saw what needs to be changed. I think I was the only one showcasing an Open Source game and nearly all where very surprised. I guess FOSS games are still a rarity, even at a conference of a MIT licensed game engine.</p>
See you all again at GodotFest 26!</p>
FOSDEM 26</a></h2>
This month I also made a talk proposal for the Gaming and VR devroom</a> at FOSDEM 2026</a>.</p>
Last time I attended FOSDEM was 2024 and I really missed the games devrooms I remember from 2017. FOSDEM 2017 was the first time I saw the Godot Engine and little I knew how things will evolve.
I really hope my talk titled "99Managers - A libre sports management game made with the Godot Engine" get accepted. This conference could be a great place to find new contributors and share ideas and knowledge.</p>
I really think that I might go anyways, even if my talk does not get accepted. It would be great to meet people that contribute to the Open Source games ecosystem. The positive experience at GodotFest motivates me a lot. And who knows, FOSDEM + Games devroom might even beat GodotFest(?)</p>
NGI Zero Commons Funding</a></h2>
Today was the deadline for proposals at the NGI Zero Commons Fund</a>. Last year I was already tempted to propose my game, but if I remember right, the form was bigger. Also the game felt not really ready for such funding at the time.
But this year I just had to answer 5 questions, with a few thousand words and done. So I made a proposal to get funding the development for the next year and probably beyond.</p>
I really hope the proposal get's accepted, because it would allow me to focus 100% on the game. Currently the game is fully self funded with my savings. Without funding or a increase in sales, I have to do some freelance work again. This was already planned and expected, because making a successful is really hard. But it would be really cool if I can continue another year working full time on a FOSS game.</p>
This could be huge for the Open Source gaming world and show that games can be built and funded openly. Let's see how things turn out, anyways the game will continue to get updates and improve over time.</p>
Back to development</a></h2>
This month was full of conferences, paper work and exciting days where I couldn't really focus. I hope during December I'm able to fully dedicate my time to the development of the game.
You can expect at least one update this month and maybe the game gets a bit more fun already :-)</p>

Devlog October 2025

Simon Dalvai — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 22:15:00 +0000

The October was a impressive month, driven by the Steam Next Fest!</p>
Steam Fest in numbers</a></h2>
This was my first Steam Next Fest and I can only recommend it to every game developer out there. The visibility a demo gets during this day is impressive! The only mistake I made was not having a stable game, so most only played a few minutes.</p>
This are the results in numbers</p>

363 Wishlist Additions</li>
506 got the Demo</li>
5 max concurrent players (new record!)</li>
15 new Steam Community members</li> </ul>
Now the game has more than 800 outstanding wishlists! As you can see, I got more than 30% of my total wishlists during the Steam Next Fest. I cannot give exact numbers, because some wishlists have also been deleted during the event. But I don't know if the deleted wishlists of that period where new or old ones.</p>
4 new beta versions, with 5th around the corner</a></h2>
The versions v0.4.3, v0.4.4, v0.4.5, v0.4.6 got released this month. They not only fixed bugs, but also introduced new! There was the first hot fix update, after I saw that saving the game didn't work.</p>
A new version v0.4.7 is already on the way and will be probably released this weekend. I hope this will be the most stable version of the game so far, fixing a lot of bugs. Of course it brings also new features, such as improved formation control, camera settings and more!</p>
Cross platform Steam Cloud Save</a></h2>
This is one of the biggest news of this month! The game supports now cross platform Steam Cloud Saves. This means you can play the game on different devices with different Operating Systems. Settings and save states will be synced between all devices by Steam.</p>
This was more difficult to implement, than I expected. My first guess was that it is enough to point Steam Cloud to the save states directory and done. But first, Steam cloud does not delete files, it only syncs existing files. So I had to create a trash system, with the trash folder not synced. Second, it does not make sense to sync all</em> files that are located there. Logs, configurations and some settings like audio or interface settings should be device specific. Now the game has internally local and sync settings.</p>
I don't want to go much further in the technical details of this implementation. But as usual, simply check out the source code to see how it's done. I guess this could actually become a nice blog post on my personal blog.</p>
Release checklist</a></h2>
While v0.4.5 introduced working Steam Cloud saves, it had a major bug with saves. A game could be saved only once. The second time the backup would fail and the game crashed. This was really bad, especially during an event such as the Steam Next Fest.</p>
So I decided to introduce some quality assurance checks, aside the automated tests I already have. It can be found on Codeberg</a>.</p>
This list contains some manual checks to make sure, that such bugs don't exist in a final release. It also contains all other steps I should not forget before and after releasing a new version. I hope this document brings a bit more stability to the game and prevents such disasters.</p>
Early Access</a></h2>
In less than 2 weeks, the game will enter in Early Access on Steam. I'm really excited and also think that the game is ready for it. And if not, I hope that most players show mercy and are happy with the frequent updates and fixes.</p>
The demo, that actually is the full game, will be removed from Steam by then. So you can get the game on Steam, only by buying the Early Access version for 10€.</p>
As I mentioned already everywhere, the game will stay free on itch.io, Flathub and Codeberg. I cannot mention this on Steam, because it is against their TOS to guide players to other platforms.</p>
So wishlist the game if you have not done it already and get the Early Access!</p>

Devlog September 2025

Simon Dalvai — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 15:55:00 +0000

This month I mainly focused on fixing bugs and polishing the UI of the game. The Steam Next</strong> fest is coming soon and the game needs to be stable and look nice(r) for that.</p>
7th of November Early Access release</a></h2>
While writing this devlog, I nearly forgot about the biggest news this month: The game will enter Early Access on the 7th of November!!!</strong>
I'm really excited and looking forward to sell my very first copy of a game. (If someone buys it, of course)</p>
The game will cost 10$, with regional price adaptations, Steam usually has. It will stay free on other platforms, but the Demo version on Steam will probably be removed, once the game enters Early Access. The demo is currently the full version of the game, and I'm afraid of disappointment when people see that the paid Early Access version is the same as the free Demo.
I could release a limited Demo, but I hope people realize that the game is Open Source and that they can try the full game elsewhere for free, before buying it.
I tried to write that in the Steam description, but Steam policies do not allow links or promotions of other stores on their platform. So I had to remove that part, which also explains why other FOSS games don't have that either.</p>
I chose the 7th of November randomly a few months ago, by simply postponing the date again and again. But this time the game is ready and also Football Manager 26 will be released on the 4th of November. This means a lot of players will head to the Football Simulation category on Steam, potentially finding my game.
This momentum could increase the numbers, or at least I hope so :-).</p>
New beta versions v0.4.1 and v0.4.2</a></h2>
Two new beta versions have been released in September. The latest beta version is v0.4.2</a>. They fixed some bugs and improved the design and UI, as usual.</p>
There will be at least one other version before the Steam Next Fest on the 13th of October. I hope, that many players play my game during the Festival.</p>
Future version will now also show the changelog, when launching the game. That makes it easier to understand that a new version is played and what changed. The only issue could be that the changelog will be available in English only.</p>
The Demo in numbers</a></h2>
The demo is now live since the 10th of September, that makes 20 days in total as of today. The numbers are great and I didn't expect so many users to add the demo to their Steam library.</p>
In total 886</strong> added the game to their library and 106</strong> actually played the game. The most happened the very first day with 477</strong> library additions but only</em> 11</strong> players, and 20</strong> players the second day. This shows how important the first day of the demo is.
Afterwards the numbers declined and now I have around 10</strong> library additions per day.</p>
Two players played for over 120</strong> minutes, that is amazing! The median play time instead is 9</strong> minutes. Surprisingly people around the whole world played the demo. I expected most players to be from Portugal, Brazil or Spain, the main countries of Futsal.</p>
I also got my very first Steam review, with some bugs reported and good feedback! I guess it was worth creating a dedicated Steam page for the demo, for this exact reason.</p>
Contributors guideline</a></h2>
I created a Contributors guideline</a> that should cover most questions a potential contributor might have. It also defines some rules like code style, the (non) use of AI and third party dependencies (that currently are not allowed).</p>
The curl projects</a> contributors guideline was used as base for this. Many thanks to the curl project!</p>
Bugs info page</a></h2>
There is now a new bugs</a> page, where information on how to report bugs can be found. I hope this improves the user experience on how and where to submit bug-reports and feedback. Especially for people who don't know how to create issues on git forge platforms, like Codeberg.</p>
Who knows, maybe someone will even fix some bug and becomes the first code contributor :-)</p>
Steam Cloud sync not working</a></h2>
I tried to sync the game between my Linux Steam client and the Windows Virtual Machine, but without success.
The Steam Cloud sync is currently not working and is more complicated than expected. I wrongly assumed that simply pointing to the correct path was enough.</p>
The progress on this issue can be followed on Codeberg</a>.</p>

Steam Demo released

Simon Dalvai — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 10:16:00 +0000

As a real marketing specialist, I just released the first demo of 99Managers Futsal Edition on Steam, without previous announcement.</p>
Play the demo now!</a></p>
This demo is the version v0.4.0 of the game without any restrictions. All demo version will feature the full game.</p>
Follow up update</a></h2>
A new version v0.4.1 with the worst bugs fixed will follow soon. As this was kind of an accidental release, a hotfix version is needed.</p>
Why has the demo be released already?</a></h2>
I will participate in the upcoming Steam Next Fest, a festival for Demos and upcoming games. This can give a huge visibility boost to the game. More visibility means more potential contributors to the project, making it better every day. So I clicked the release button, because I thought it would simply make the Demo visible as upcoming. (At the time, it was not visible at all) But instead I released the Demo to the public, cool!</p>
Anyway I'm really happy that the game is finally also playable on Steam.</p>

Devlog August 2025

Simon Dalvai — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 20:30:00 +0000

I will now create a monthly blog post here with the latest changes and newsworthy updates.</p>
New beta version v0.4.0</a></h2>
The new beta version v0.4.0</a> has been released with a lot of changes. The UI has been improved and polished and the transfer logic has been improved. You can read the full changelog in the game or on Codeberg. The changelog is still not optimal and misses some fixes and new features. I will try to improve the changelog to really cover all changes.</p>
Flathub</a></h2>
Recently the game has been released on Flathub</a> that makes the game easily accessible to millions of GNU/Linux users. The game will always be available on Flathub for free, even after the full release on Steam.</p>
Steam Demo</a></h2>
The Steam Next Fest</strong> in October is the perfect moment to release a demo on Steam. The Demo will simply be the current beta version without any restrictions. Technically it is an extension of the public beta version to Steam. The demo will stay online at least for the full duration of the Next Fest.</p>
Early Access</a></h2>
After the demo, the next milestone will be the Early Access on Steam planned for November. When that happens, the free Demo will be removed from Steam</strong>, but the game will still be available for free on other platforms like itch.io, Flathub and Codeberg.</p>
It will the first time that it is possible to buy the game and support the development</strong>. The game will cost 10€ and will stay the same at full release.</p>
Full release</a></h2>
The date for the full release is still unknown</strong>, but it most likely will be 2026. It will depend a lot on how many people the Demo and Early Access can reach, to improve the game. It is fundamental to get user feedback to find bugs and improve the game experience. This is my first commercial game on Steam, so there surely will be many problems and setbacks. Hopefully there will be also contributors that help with translations, programming, design and bug reports.</p>
Next version v0.4.1 plans</a></h2>
I plan to improve the match engine for the next beta version. That will include first tactics, better ball and player movement and more realistic experience. I hope to release this version by the end of September</strong>, to have a nicer match engine for the Next Fest.</p>
Timeline</a></h2>
This is the timeline of everything stated above</p>

August</strong> Flathub</li>
September</strong> v0.4.1</li>
October</strong> free Demo on Steam</li>
November</strong> paid Early Access on Steam; free Demo will be removed</li>
To be defined</strong> Full Release on Steam</li> </ul>
Wish me luck that this plan will not be broken ;-)</p>
