- The ritual is complete! - 23 October 2023
Evil greetings and satanic salutations! The most occult and evil time of year is finally upon us, what better time to launch Soccer with Satan than right now? 'Cause that's what we're doin'! So, if you are a very specific type of person, one who wishes for a demonic soccer RTS to play with your friends during this spooky holiday then you have come to the right place. Soccer with Satan has been a long journey, and though we recognize that the game is, well... kinda weird, has some bugs still (just reframe them as fun little features in your mind while you play) and might not be for everyone, we still think there must be someone out there who finds this interesting enough to give it a try. So, with that truly ringing endorsement, hope everyone has fun playing Soccer with Satan with your friends this most spooky time of year! Yours spookily Christer and Alex Studio Gauntlet
- Soccer With Satan cometh (sooneth)! - 2 October 2023
Consider this the final omen! Soccer With Satan is bursting out of hell and releasing version 1.0 on the 22nd of October! Contrary to popular unbelief the date is 22nd OF OCTOBER and not the 1st of October. Why would anybody think that? Maybe because we, the developers, said so? Well, we were wrong! Fate wanted it otherwise and due to powerful and mysterious forces outside of our control we had to postpone the date for the release. The entity that caused this disruption cast a spell of silence on us and our reasons for postponing the release cannot be uttered by us, lest we be dragged over the coals (legally speaking (figuratively speaking)). Anywas: Prepare for the spookiest and most occult, though only second most evil soccer game to launch this fall. It's RTS, it's soccer, it's blood and gore like you've probably seen before, just not on the football field. Get out there and kill you…
- Soccer With Satan Update 1.0.2 - 22 August 2023
Transition of app from A Bad Game Of Football to Soccer With Satan. New things: Headless coach trainer Randomized trainer option Achievements Credits Visual feedback on attacks Bugfixes Known issues: On rare occations minions jump around the scene due to network issues On very rare occations, minions get negative health due to network issues, and become immortal. This is a cursed bug that I have tried fixing four separate times, but that still comes back. It is a part of the game now. I am not happy about but, but I am at peace with it. Namaste.
- Presenting: Soccer With Satan - 16 August 2023
TLDR; The game is no longer called A Bad Game Of Football. The new title is Soccer With Satan! We think it is better, and we hope you agree! So why did we change it? For a long time, the title “A Bad Game Of Football” has not sat right with us. The old title did not describe the gameplay very well, nor did it in any way refer to the fact that the game is set in Hell. It felt imprecise, clumsy to use in conversations, and also the vibe of it too jokey - as if we were trying too hard to be funny. The old title actually made us feel a bit embarrassed talking about our own game. And you don’t want that when you spent two years making something and should be its main advocate. The title should reinforce your game. A.B.G.O.F. did not. Time for change We have played around with ideas for new names for some time, but we had yet to experience the magical feelong of “That’s it!!!” I mean, Hellbal…
- Release date set! - 9 August 2023
A Bad Game Of Football will take the step out of Early Access and into Full Release on October 1st! That's October 1st, everyone, October 1st! The final version of the game will sport 3 arenas, 5 trainers (+1 randomize option), and as always - fast paced RTS-like PvP action. We look forward to release day, the day the world will see that real time micro management with a mouse and keyboard is the future of sports gaming. We hope players will appreciate our little innovation - whether they be sports fans or not. Expect more updates leading up to the release! See you soon! Occult regards Alex
- To Hell with Linux! - 19 May 2023
Linux Platform Support Linux users can go to Hell, finally! That's right, A Bad Game of Football now runs on Linux. If you or a friend want to try it out, buy it during the Steam Sports Fest for a 40 % discount (or read till the end to learn how you can get a couple of free beta keys for you and/or a friend). The game supports cross-play between Linux and Windows users. That means Quick Play (matchmaking) will match Windows and Linux users alike, and also that you can challenge those friends of yours who only use Linux/Windows Known issues Cursor bug - The in-game cursor is buggy on Linux. Therefore the OS cursor remains visible after booting the game. Press "C" any time to toggle OS cursor visibility. Still not playable on Mac Disclaimer/Confession: I'll admit it. I'm not a Linux user myself. In order to test that the game worked properly on Linux, I installed Ubuntu on an old laptop o…
- Sports Fest Update - Changelog - 11 May 2023
New stuff Stamina completely regenerates for the team that scores a goal (Thank you Oliver @Riddlebit for the suggestion) New logo. It's burning now. It's awesome. Changed stuff Grass is not green it hell. It's blue Hooligan Hollow has become less cemetery-y, and more halloweeny Explosion visuals VFX on headbutt and sliding tackle VFX on goal scored and annihilation More force on most explosions Minor UI tweaks. Fixes No more empty crates on battlefield CPU training team is a little less "Let's all do the exact same thing"-y Known issues Minion positions - sometimes before a new kick-off, they reset to the wrong place Loading fails - sometimes when loading the gameplay scene, one of the player's minions will not spawn and the player immediately lose by elimination Goal effect bug - Sometimes the goal lightning effect does not appear Negative Health - Sometimes a minion will get negative…
- 0.2.10 - Judgement Day - 24 April 2023
NEW CONTENT New arena - The Battlefield Inspired by a world war that shall remain un-enumerated. The Battlefield features airdrops containing Energy Potions, HP-kits and landmines New arena - Holigan Hollow Inspired by Plants vs Zombies and the local cemetery. Is that weird? Anyways, Hooligan Hollow features coffins that rise from the ground and spawn zombies if disturbed. Zombies will follow and attack nearby minions Hell Stadium now has a bit more stadium-like vibe Minions now have hair and more equipment MAJOR CHANGES One button chargeable kick. We combined the two kick buttons into one. Hold the kick button to charge up a kick that goes longer and higher. To avoid running around with a constant charged kick, selected minions walk slower while charging. This also makes it easier to perform precision kicks. Shape of the playing field. We've cut away some dead space around the corners…
- Not dead yet - Status update - 17 March 2023
It's been two months since our last update. During this time, we have died (downsized our team drastically), gone to hell (moved to a new office space), and been reborn (reworked the base gameplay and committed to it)! Having finally landed the fundamentals of the game feels really nice. Before, we were trying to piggy-back off current events, trying to make our game appear super nice, but without a super nice game as a foundation, it felt like cheap tricks to trick people into buying an unfinished game. Halloween updates and and Qatar 2022-themed trainers sounds fun and all, but in the end it felt like we sprinkled candy on top of a cake shaped poop, not a real cake. Sorry for trying to make you eat poop. Regarding the game: Yesterday we tried playing it for the first time in many weeks, and to our relief: It was hysterical!!! The game is now a proper cake :D It was a confidence boost…
- Happy holidays 2022 - Status update - 22 December 2022
From the depths of Hell we wish you a merry christma- ARGHHH!... *sigh* erh, we mean: Happy holidays! Our unholy best wishes to all your kin and a happy new year! Thank you to everyone who has bought the game and/or supported us as we have been making one of the weirdest and most hardcore soccer games ever (maybe?). We are happy with the game so far but at the same time we also feel that there are some key things still missing. So what is going on right now: We were well on our way towards a Christmas Update but have decided to take a step back and focus on making the gameplay even tighter, making the current content even more awesome and generally just making BGoF the best 2-player football brawler possible. Not being able to push new content is always a bummer but we feel that in the long run this is the right decision for the game. Okay, what's planned for next year: There will be a…
- 0.2.8 - WTF QATAR!? - 28 November 2022
NEW CONTENT New Master of Puppets champion. He has a Bribe ability allowing him to persuade more minions to join his team at once. He then uses his army of minions to blow 'Clean Up' the opponents by making his own minions blow up. His minions don't respawn over time. MAJOR CHANGES You can now win the game by killing the entire enemy team. Minions can no longer be bought back after dying except for when playing Master of Puppets. Changed where the minions spawn when respawning. They now appear inside your goal instead of the top of the field. BALANCING AND MINOR CHANGES The Alchemical Arsonist is now called The Bloodthirsty Impaler Team Boost ability is now called Run Like Hell and it has been moved from Satan to The Impaler. Some abilities have been swapped around: Fire Kick now belongs to Satan himself. The Bloodthirsty Impaler has a new Impale ability. Satan's Jump ability is now a H…

- 0.2.2 patch notes - 27 October 2022
Fixed a game breaking bug where client side minions would die and not respawn. This was related to the other bug that is fixed: Ability icons not appearing in the UI for the client player. ESC-button now toggles in game options menu. Writing on mobile. No formatting. Deal with it.

Still bad football. Now set in hell. Additions: Satan Hell visuals Hell music!!! God damn festive Jack-o-Lanterns Custom minion designs for each Champion New and improved Trainer Selection Screen Super simple "How To Play" Controller overview (at the end of the "How to Play"-sequence) Removals: Battlefield map (Will return shortly after being redesigned) Improvements: Tighter in game UI We now refer to Coaches as Champions instead We now refer to Units as Minions instead Balancing on some of the Champions Known issues: Sound effects occasionally turn very loud Minions sometimes stop moving during online gameplay, and won't move again until game is reset Referee sometimes stop registering fouls Every once in a while minions manage to escape the playing field (just walk back in, or use the tiny red button in the minion overview to get them back in play) Maybe, or maybe not, loads of other…
- Commit to evil - Permanent Satanic Conversion - 21 October 2022
The spooky season even exists in the realm of A Bad Game of Football (it sure is gruesome enough). For the arguably best season of the year, we will upgrade A Bad Game Of Football with Halloween themed visuals and trainers - permanently! Maybe you even recognize one or the other infamous persona amongst them. (To be honest with you, Satan has taken control of the game, he wanted his own football world championship... well at least it's not cold in hell... right?) https://media3.giphy.com/media/3ov9jYd9chmwCNQl8c/giphy.gif?cid=790b761121e9e1e707fbab977e99d1489c6c50b1b28aed50&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g Specifics about the update: One playable map (with a second one following soon) Three playable satanic trainers including the host of this hellishly hot event Unique minions for each trainer Updated main theme (sorry Jazz lovers) If you are interested in sneak peeks of what this update is going to…

- Update 0.1.8 - Minor Balancing - 7 October 2022
A minor balancing patch for the 2022 Early Access World Championship. Fixes: Units initial HP is correctly displayed on match start Changes: The Colonel's max-stamina is lower Artillery strike is cheaper Respawn times are longer and more expensive
- Patch 0.1.7 - Jotunheim - 5 October 2022
This friday we'll host the first ever World Championship in A Bad Game Of Football at Jotunheim E-Sport, a gaming bar in our home town Trondheim, Norway. So we've put together a little thing we like to call the Jotunheim Patch! Here are the highlights: Visible stuff: Air strike - Colonel Sanders can now rain fire on the pitch Sliding tackle nerf - A little slower, and a little shorter Jump ability rework - Instead of launching into the air, you take a dive and faceplant UI - Coaches has different stamina bars Cursors - Coaches have their own cursor Trophy - Our glorious Trophy Of Death has found its way to the win screen Invisible stuff: Improved quick matching - It should now be easier to find matches using quick play (tested and working, but not real-world conditions stress tested, so please report any bugs you find in our Discord) Coach balancing - Some unit HP and speed adjustments…
