YODA SOCCER PROJECT

Yoda Soccer New beta 0.72 released: diy leagues, new stadium and crowd, weather effects, new national flags, improved goalkeeper and 6 new kits thanks to the work of Guido (Guh)

Started on June 2002, Yoda Soccer is a project which intends to create a new free game for Windows with the gameplay and the style of the well known Sensible World of Soccer (a.k.a. SWOS). This doesn’t mean that we’ll redo swos for this OS, it would be only a waste of time, but we’ll try to add many features missed in Swos. If you want to know more about this, please go in the Info section. Yoda soccer is written in Blitzmax (www.blitzmax.com) language. The source code is open and availaible for everyone who want to help us to improve the game.
The game run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X

GAMEPLAY
Gameplay will be in swos style, so frenetic, with only a button for shot, pass etc. and of course, freedom to do everything you want. The swos gameplay lacks only in a few things, and we are going to solve them. First of all, volleys and bicycle kicks will be quite certainly in the game. More weather conditions and also other things to actualize.

GRAPHICS
Graphics are never been the main Swos feature. However we think the Sensible soft artists could do something better. And so, we are fixing this. Players will be in the same size, but more detailed, with shaded kits, more colours of skin, hairs and shirts. The pitch will be also more detailed with new brand goals, public, stadium kinds, cameraman et. More realistic weather conditions, team badges, fun menus, and, we hope, custom charsets for every team with its own kit… do you want more??

DATABASE
Yoda Soccer uses a new team file format which is a simple text file.

It allows team’s rosters with up to 32 players, many shirt colors, and other features that will be implemented in the future.
You can still use Swos 96/97 team files: download the team.*** file relative to your championship (very easy to find in the web), and put it into the /data subfolder. Then convert it to Yoda Soccer format. The converter is available in the download page.
The new file will be automatically recognized and you will be able to select it in the main menu.
You can edit teams and players using the internal editor. You can also use a simple text editor (e.g. NotePad) to make & edit *.yst files.

AUDIO
Hard to say something about this matter. Audio is so easy to add and to improve, that the only thing we can say about it’s that you’ll be able to hear chants, buus and stadiums atmosphere, but also good menu music (if Marco works well.. >;)
