Los Meeples de la 'English Edition'

Hola amigos!

Hemos lanzado en nuestra web www.soccercitythegame.com los 'Meeples' que incluimos en la campaña de Kickstarter para la edición en inglés y que tanto gustaron.

Hemos querido satisfacer a aquellos jugones que nos comentaron que no les gustaron los peones que incluimos en la primera edición. En esa línea, hemos lanzado diferentes ofertas.


También, os queremos comentar que estamos viendo la posibilidad de producir pegatinas diferentes con equipos propiamente diseñados. Todavía estamos limando los detalles, viendo cuál es la mejor opción de producción y así poder ofertarlos.

En la misma línea, estamos planeando publicar una plantilla de diseño de uniformes para los meeples. Con esa plantilla los jugones podrían crear sus propios diseños y compartirlos con otros jugones, así vamos creando poco a poco una comunidad Soccer City. Ya hay alguna iniciativa interesante de liguillas y torneos, lo que nos provoca inmenso orgullo.

De momento, tienes algunas ideas de equipos en nuestras web, para que tu mismo las imprimas y las pegues sobre tus meeples. Aquí el enlace directo.

Una vez más, muchas gracias por vuestro apoyo!

Kickstarter Campaign is finished (unsuccessful)

Hello eveybody!

We want to express our tremendous gratitude to all the backers that supported the game.

This is not the end. We learned may things this time. Hopefully, in the future, we will find the way to produce the English Edition of Soccer City and send it all over the world.

In the meantime, we want everybody have the oportunity to play the game, downloading the Print & Play package. We have finished minutes ago and now we are lookign for the best way to upload it with best quality possible. We will contact you soon to provide you the link.

We have to be honest. We are sad because of the result of the campaign, but at the same time we are very proud of getting all of you. Having your attention, your support, your cheering during the campaign was very encouraging.

That is the only reason that makes us continue in our dream.

Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED.

SINCERELY,

Why Soccer City?

Many times we have asked about why we have called SOCCER to FOOTBALL, considering that we are Europeans.  
Our answer has always been the same: "The word 'Soccer' is as old as football itself."

But this time we want to explain further :)

Well, about the word 'Soccer'. A lot of people think the word "Soccer" is an american word, or even that Soccer is an american sport... 
Nothing about this. The word 'soccer' is originated in UK at the end of the nineteenth century to differenciate Rugby Football players from Association Football players. Yes, Association Football is the official name of the sport. Proof of this is that today some organizations still preserve the name Football Association on its name, such as FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). There is also an English Trophy called FA Cup :)

Therefore, the word "soccer" is an English word derived from the second syllable of the word "Association". Rugby Football became "rugby", and then "rugger". Association Football was better know as "assoccer" and naturally evolved into "soccer".  

In the latter 19th and early 20th century, the game, and the word, was exported by British people all over the world. 
In short, the word "soccer" is a British invention, but British people stopped using only about 30 years ago.  

As you can see on the game, we love football and its origin. And the word Soccer is considered by us a way of paying tribute to football.  

We support call it Football, but we can't forget that this sport has many ways to call him: football, soccer, footy or, simply, the beautiful game...

RULEBOOK English Edition

We already have the first version of the Soccer City's rulebook for the English Edition.

Given the fact that Soccer City was originally created in Spain based on Spanish football terminology, some tricks, move and dribble names may vary from its original in English.
Since this campaign is meant to both raise funds to release the English version, and increase awareness of its nature we would highly appreciate your suggestions and recommendations regarding the translation. Soccer City, as football itself, is a team work!

Noticias

Muy buenas futboleros!

Después de un tiempo sin actualizar el blog, venimos a anunciar que ya puedes conseguir tus peones personalizados. Elige tus equipos favoritos y por 19,90 € nuestros expertos los pintarán a mano y te los enviarán a casa. Hazte con ellos desde nuestra página www.SoccerCitythegame.com

 
 

Para todos aquellos que esperen una expansión próxima, informaros de que estamos en la etapa de desarrollo de una expansión que va a aportarle mucha miga al juego, si aún cabe.

También tenemos prácticamente lista la traducción al inglés, por lo que intentaremos en cuanto nos sea posible lanzar una edición para los países de habla inglesa.


Elegé Ibérica, que es la empresa que hemos creado para lanzar Soccer City, es una startup pequeñita, por lo que todas nuestras acciones nos suponen un gran esfuerzo económico y de tiempo a compaginar con nuestros respectivos trabajos. Vamos despacito pero con buena letra. Por otro lado, cualquier sugerencia será bienvenida.


Tenemos una cuenta de twitter muy activa @SoccerCityGame, a la ue os invitamos a seguir para hacer una de las cosas más divertidas que hay en el mundo: HABLAR DE FÚTBOL!

Nos vemos!
