Yeah, improving the investment in your young driver programme will improve the drivers you have recruited too. Some of them won’t be able to match that investment though, they do peak in ability. :-)

Awesome! I’m glad you’re enjoying the game! :D

Some drivers won’t improve after a while, they’ll reach their max potential. You have to keep an eye on them and release them if you think their just not good enough for you. I trying to work out ways to message that better without it just telling you directly.

@mathers Sounds like you’ve had a good career so far! Glad you’re enjoying it. :-)

@bradley13 it’s a universal app so you get both for the price. It also has icloud saving so you can transfer your save data super easy without having to plug your devices in. I like the phone version the best though. :D

@andra49 That’s awesome. Thanks for such a great comment. :D

The game has actually charted now and is sitting in the top 50 on iPad and top 75 on iPhone. Incredible.

Oh, and Android version has started development. :D

Thanks guys! Argh! I’m so excited and scared!

Another games press quote just came in:

“Motorsport Manager is complex, accessible, beautiful, personal, and I honestly believe that any fan of racing or management games will adore it.”

I think I need a beer. Ha. :D

So…

The game is out at midnight tonight.

It’s safe to say I’ve never felt so scared about anything in my life. If you decide to download it thank you so much. :-)

Oops, Sorry @minnis apologies for the slow reply. It’s been a busy week! The game isn’t out yet, although it has now been approved by Apple. The game requires an iOS device that is running iOS 7. Which means only iPod Touch 5 from the iPod range. I hope that’s okay!

The game will be released this week!

Here’s some promo art to tease you a little…[Read more]

@jamiefranklinf1 The game has been submitted to the App Store now so it’s too late to change the names now. Although I’ll add it in at a later date if you’d like. :-)

You’ll notice in the video he nearly pulls off a one-two finish but his second driver’s tyres hit the cliff and she dropped from 2nd to 5th on the last lap.

You’ll find a lot of this in the game. You’ll be trying to work out if a 2 or 3 stop strategy is going to work well and at times you’ll panic when you realise the tyres just won’t pull off a…[Read more]

@merioksa Thanks! I really appreciate that. I’ve worked really hard on it. :D

Yeah weather can chop and change and there’s a rough guide (as already noted above :P). I really wanted to put the player in the position of making those tough strategy calls around risking everything on dry tyres in the wet or playing it safe. There’s a lot of…[Read more]

Don’t worry, the Android version won’t be too far behind. I want to make sure it’s done properly though.

No release date yet, but it should be released before the end of the month. I’ll let you guys know when I have a date.

As for the editor. I’m going to focus on the Android version first. I’ve had a 100 people play testing it for me and most…[Read more]

There’s some more press coverage coming in. This time a hands on play over at AppSpy:

“I don’t think I’ve played a deeper, better looking, more compelling management game than Motorsport Manager in years.” – AppSpy

@minnis The Android version will be out before the end of the season, hopefully sooner.

@benh I was just playing through a new game and Firecruiser were my biggest rivals. The name now pains me. ;-)

There have been a few previews written up recently:

“Hands-on with stunning F1 simulator Motorsport Manager for iPhone and iPad” – Pocket…[Read more]

I’ve just submitted the game to the App Store.

It’s been the most incredible 11 months of full-time development I’ve ever had (and I’ve worked in the games industry for 10 years). I’ve put my heart and soul (and life savings) into this project. I’m in shock that it’s done. I honestly can’t wait for you all to play it. I’m super proud of…[Read more]
