Football Story Dev Blog #5

This week, we’ll be talking about your handy in-game notebook.

Every player will have their own notebook where tons of interesting info is stored. For one thing, it does a great job of keeping track of your progress, both in terms of story and character growth. Characters will have unique stats that improve based on your playstyle and which characteristics you focus, like Strength, Leadership, etc. These permanently influence how fast you run, how hard you kick the ball, and so on. You’ll find a useful section in the notebook, complete with diagrams and scales, to show your character’s current progress.

The notebook is also used to keep track of requests from people around the city. Current and completed quests will be displayed in the form of sticky notes. That’s how you know they’re important!

The final section will act like a diary where characters will write their own entries about their progress, people they’ve met, achievements, discovering new places, or just general thoughts about life.

We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on pretty much everything we’ve shown so far! What do you think of certain gameplay elements? Do you like the art? Anything you think we should add? Let us know over on our Discord server!

Do not forget to wishlist the game on Steam and subscribe to receive news updates about our progress or early testing opportunities.

Stay tuned as there’s more to come!
