Interesting times! By FIDAdmin1
Interesting times!
Been a while since I made one of these and we've been kinda quiet these past weeks. That's because there's truly a shit-load of things going on here and we've are trying to move as fast as we can in all areas. It is some exciting stuff and we know that 2012 is going to be a year of many changes in FID.
So I think its a good time now to give you a bit of summary on what's going on:
Firstly, the closest thing that will happen is that we will make a new site release during the upcoming week. We were hoping to do it already on Monday (tomorrow) but last minute complications before the weekend puts some uncertainty on this but we strongly believe we will be able to release during the week at least.
The new site release will mainly contain two new exciting features called "Training Matches" and "Training Camps" (pre-season attribute adjustments). Please read more about it in my latest status update for the main site.
Secondly, we are really getting up to speed on momentum development now and believe that we will soon actually be able to show a "teaser" of this functionality even if it will be in a "very rough state" and not a final version. Read more about that in this momentum status update.
Thirdly, unfortunately the "Training match" feature (and some other tasks) took some more time to develop than what we had expected due to complications in creating the isolated match engine (which is an important aspect of the new training match feature). This has led to a bit of delay in the FIDA pages but we are now back working on FIDA with parts of our development team and we don't think the delay will be too long. We will update with further details once we have gotten next week's site release out of the way.
Forthly, there are some extremely interesting things happening with regards to marketing of FID. Some months ago we were approached by a big game portal that wants to launch Footballidentity. We have signed an agreement with them and are currently making some integration towards their portal. We hope to be able to launch the partnership within 1 to 2 weeks from now and even though we don't know fully the effects this will have we are expecting tens of thousands of new users registering from the following regions:
- Brazil
- Turkey
- Netherlands
- Argentina
- Venezuela
- Chile
- Mexico
We hope that you guys find these news as exciting as we do and that you want to start gathering your forces and prepare yourself for reception of these new users. We also want to urge anyone that has an interest in becoming a Game Master, Moderator or Translator (and especially within these regions) to contact us at:
Game Masters: fid.headGM@communisport.com
Moderators: fid.headmoderator@communisport.com
Translators: fid.headtranslator@communisport.com
Please put some time into telling us why you want to take on such a role (for example as a GM or Moderator) and why you believe you would be the right person for it.
