Demo Out Now!

Hey everyone!

We are Sparkling Vinegar, a small indie dev team of game industry professionals and lifelong friends creating modern takes on the games that shaped our childhoods. Inspired by the creativity of the '80s and '90s, we blend old-school ideas with contemporary design to craft games full of personality. Our name is an inside joke from Reims, France, the home of Champagne. If Champagne is sparkling wine, then Sparkling Vinegar is what happens when game developers try to make some of their own.

SFTP - Super Football Tactics Pro started as an attempt to answer a simple question: could we turn checkers into a modern strategy game? The answer somehow involved American football. Despite knowing almost nothing about the sport, we liked the fantasy of offensive and defensive lines, ball carriers, and big collisions. The first prototype was little more than football-flavored checkers, but the addition of passing, specialized players, and a larger field gradually turned it into something else. Like all our games, SFTP isn't trying to simulate a sport. We use sports as a backdrop for fantasy, strategy, creativity, and fun.

We launched our demo recently and we’re getting ready to be part of Steam Next Fest starting next week, hoping to gather many new players willing to try SFTP and help us make it even better. We’d love to hear your feedback, ideas and of course if you’re facing any issues, as we keep working ahead of our full release this Summer. You can do that here on Steam, in a review or a in discussions, or join our discord: https://discord.gg/YwUb5wu59

We hope you'll have fun and if you liked the demo, adding the game to your wishlist would make us very happy Thank you!
