GOALS dev reveals plans to launch a \u201cbasic\u201d and \u201cpoor\u201d version of the game GOALSGOALS dev Andreas Thorstensson has outlined the team\u2019s plan to launch the football simulation game before its development is complete, claiming a \u201cpoor\u201d version of the game will allow them to cater to player feedback. GOALS is highly anticipated in the video game community, with fans of football simulation titles eager to see if the Stockholm-based title can displace FIFA or eFootball at the top of the market. While details surrounding the game remain scarce, the dev team have pledged to put gameplay first and maximize the in-game experience. That remains the message from Andreas Thorstensson, who is also the founder of German esports organization SK Gaming. In an August 7 interview, he outlined more details on GOALS and announced the intention to release the game long before it is actually completed. GOALS football game will release \u201cway too early\u201d Asked how the development team will quantify the success of the game, Thorstensson explained that it is planned to launch GOALS prior to the development process wrapping up so as to allow extensive community feedback. \u201cWe want to launch a very rudimentary, basic, poor version of the game,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd give that to the community early, like way too early. People will laugh at the quality of the game, but that\u2019s the point. We want them to test the game in the beginning when we can fix the core gameplay mechanics and gameplay features.\u201d While other games almost always try and perfect the game prior to release so as to minimize issues for players, GOALS will take a contrary approach and deploy patches after launch to bring the title up to standard. It\u2019s certainly a risky tactic, but with GOALS being confirmed as free-to-play and hoping to dethrone the ever-popular FIFA series, innovation from the devs could well help their cause. Emphasizing that a football game should be fun, Thorstensson said: \u201cWe\u2019re skipping all the fancy animations, fancy 3D models. We\u2019re just gonna make it basic so people can actually try it.\u201d The full interview touched on his origins as a FIFA player and how the expensive licenses of the football world pushed GOALS to prioritize gameplay over anything else. Here\u2019s hoping it translates to a successful football title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
