- Jousting Manager is Now Available for Early Access! + What's next - 19 August 2024
Jousting Manager is officially available for early access. Your journey to manage the best jousting tournaments has begun, and I can't wait to hear your feedback. What's next? I haven't had time to convert all the classes that most affect performance to C++, so in some areas, especially during the transition between months and years, load times might be higher than expected. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming patches. Once those performance improvements are in place, the next updates will focus on implementing community requests, like adding the option in settings to allow knights to die from injuries. Additionally, I’d like to expand the number of traits and add some events to the campaign. Later on, I’ll also add Steam achievements. Lastly, as we approach the end of early access, I plan to introduce more "stadium-maps" to better reflect the regions where tournaments take place,…

📢 Official Announcement: Jousting Manager Early Access Launch Delay 📢 Dear Jousting Manager Community, I wanted to inform you that I have decided to delay the early access launch of Jousting Manager until August 19th. I know many of you were excited to start your adventures in the world of jousting, and I truly appreciate your patience and support.

- Jousting Manager New UI & DevUpdate - 6 March 2024
DevUpdate: The next two weeks will be dedicated to finishing everything related to the new UI, especially adding many more faces. The next step is preparing a demo that will only feature the quick tournament option, which allows you to play as many tournaments as you want. I'm considering whether to include some of the campaign or keep it separate in the demo, which will be available during Steam Next Fest. This should take a little time since the playable part is already stable and optimized. Once that's done, I'll focus all efforts on balancing, optimizing, and fixing campaign bugs. Thanks for the support, Stay tuned for more updates. Until next time! Gonzalo
- Gameplay Reveal - 18 January 2024
Hello, in this video, you'll see me playing through an entire tournament while explaining its mechanics. If you don't have time to watch the full video, don't worry because, in the following days, I will be uploading shorter articles explaining the different tournament mechanics separately. I want to take a moment to update you on the current development status: Currently, I'm addressing some UI-hiding bug issues and fine-tuning the blending of specific animations. I'm also working on balancing algorithms and AI. In the coming weeks, I will focus on fine-tuning the campaign, so you can expect more videos where I explain its mechanics. Thank you so much for watching the video, Gonzalo Discord: https://discord.gg/TTNpPrhYS7
- INTRODUCING JOUSTING MANAGER - 28 December 2023
Why this game? I've spent countless weekends scouring Steam for sports management games, always hoping to find one with a medieval twist. So, one Christmas, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Initially, I had a game with just two boxes that changed colors depending on whether they broke a lance. Despite its simplicity, it kept me hooked for weeks. I decided to gradually expand it: first, more game types, then 3D graphics, and eventually, a campaign mode. Four years later, here we are. What will you find in the game? The game offers everything sports management enthusiasts love: scouting young talents, hiring staff, planning training sessions, upgrading club facilities, and managing team equipment. Current status: We enhance stability and balance to provide access to a fully playable beta. While a few aesthetic additions are pending, such as more stadiums and avatars, we are al…
