    Two Things (Plus One)

    As a backer, I'd like to request two things:

    (1) Moar videos and screenshots! Stop being such a tease!

    (2) Establish a presence on Google+. Whatever your personal feelings about the network may be, I think you are missing an opportunity to connect with people who might be interested in supporting your project. I really want this game to reach its funding goal. Use Google+ to expand your reach. An added benefit of posting publicly to G+ is that the posts show up in Google search results. So people who search "Football Heroes" on Google will see all of your public posts. You can do it!!

    (3) Please allow us "DESIGN YOUR TEAM" backers to create our own team even if you don't reach your funding goal. That is the only reason I backed you at that level. I want my own squad baked into the game :) I'd be bummed if that perk is taken off the table if you don't reach your funding goal.

    Sorry about the slow nature of my reply! This is incredible feedback

    1 - Yes we need to update with more Screenshots and Footage of the game. We will shoot some more footage this week and put it up on the Kickstarter page.

    2 - This week I will spend less time on Twitter and divert some needed attention to Google+. This has been an oversight on my part and it will be remedied!

    3 - No need to worry we will figure out a way to get your team in the game, but doing so is much easier for us if we make the Kickstarter, so please help us spread the word!

    Football Heroes is for EVERYONE! The game has incredible depth for simulation and RPG fans and if you are a casual or younger player the controls are simple enough that anyone can just jump in and punch, throw and run your way to the Endzone.

    We have run several playtests on Football Heroes throughout development with younger players, and one of the things that I am most proud of is the way little kids faces light up when they play Football Heroes and kick some serious butt.

    Shame that more people aren't helping out with your Kickstarter. It's an awesome looking game!

    We are nearly half way to our goal and have 14 days remaining. We believe that if we can get press to coverage we can make our goal. You can help by submitting tips to your favorite game sites and asking them to cover Football Heroes' Kickstarter.

    OMG! How am I JUST hearing about this game now? :eek:

    Seriously, why hasn't this game been featured on Touch Arcade? The game looks incredible. I mean, tecmo hasn't come through in reviving their franchise.. and it's about time someone made a fun football game for the platform. (I'm sorry, but the 3D Madden games just don't cut it - they are the opposite of fun.)

    I just put my money where mouth is- $50 down for Football Heroes!

    Good luck getting the rest of the way guys! I can't wait to play this.

    Want to be immortalized in the upcoming Football / Brawler / RPG Football Heroes?

    We will create a player in your honor or you can even design your very own team: Team Name, City and choose your logo.

    Your player and team will be in every copy of Football Heroes :)

    Football Heroes!!!

    Congrats!!!

    I see that Football Heroes has been funded on Kickstarter! Awesome. I have a few questions regarding the beta and my prize (I'm a $100.00 backer). Will you be sending out an email with contact info? I'd rather communicate via email than on this forum :)

    I am extremely excited for this game! My expectations are sky-high. Can't wait for the beta...

    Yeah the devs have gone pretty quiet and their forum is dead too. One of the devs mentioned on their Football Heroes forum that the iPhone beta should be starting this month (November) followed by the iPad beta (indefinite), then the Android beta (indefinite). We'll see... I don't even care anymore.
