It's nearly here. My massively multiplayer football management game on Android is nearing its first release. To get there, I need 12 testers for two weeks to install the game and run it once or twice then Google will let me release it. If you're interested in trying it out, here's the blurb about the game.

I'm building a massively multiplayer football management game for people who don't have the time for Football Manager and maybe want to buy a player while they're sitting on the bog. Y'know, like real managers do. You don’t have to be a management game nerd. This has more in common with Fantasy Premier League than Football Manager. In the game, you are assigned a pub or village team in a gameworld in one of the bottom two tiers of a 4 tier football pyramid. Your team is a bunch of drunks and village idiots aspiring to be rank amateurs in the world of competitive football. Train your players, pick the team, search for new, less drunk footballers, sell players, buy players and compete to finish top of your league. Then get promoted and try not to go backwards. On the way, you will have to deal with suspensions and injuries to key players. Fixtures are played twice a day and a full season is complete in 7 days (faster than a season of Football Manager!) The game is available on Android at the moment in closed alpha and I'm looking for testers to help me take it into open testing. There are bugs and unfinished things. Like the UI. Looks a bit bland, yeah? I know. It'll go in the bin at some point. The art is AI-generated. I know. I feel dirty. It is intended to preview the style that I want for the game but that should also go in the bin at some point. Click enough ads and I'll have enough money to pay an actual human with fingers and stuff.

To get access to the closed alpha, use the link below to join the Google group and then you should have access to the link on the Play Store.
