A few of us have got together and are making a management sim in our spare time. It is a hobby project so don't go burning your copy of FM just yet .

Our main aims are to...

- see if we can actually get it finished!!
- learn what SI go through in trying to make one( we are blogging about every step )
- implement some cool features that maybe SI can't put into their game.( match-day blimp )
- leave out certain features that we are not keen on.
- Make a better game than Premier Manager!

We just released an early alpha.
Any feedback and ideas are welcome!

Very interesting! How did you make? I'll like to know the programs you used.

@Tezz - thanks, will do.

@Fish Hunter - C++ is the language and Irrlicht the engine we use. Other than that its designing all the different things that will be in the game using pen and paper.
