Possible football game coming from OOTP Devs?

That's why I won't be preparing my football leagues anytime soon.


I've got leagues that have been sitting for a nearly a year waiting to be played with FHM.

Hopefully the former, as I would like to think that trolling a company's fan base isn't part of the job description.

Now, who is this Francis Cole gentleman, also posting cryptic messages in here too? With the title "Lead Developer of BTS" and being part of OOTP Developments?? Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to find out what BTS is ... Not a OOTP Devs game I'm familiar with, anyway?

It says he has over 100 posts too and I tried to see where and what he had been posting, but the only ones that show up are ones that were made in this thread..

Sooo... yeah, this is weird? Hopefully big news coming!

And I agree 100 per cent about the customization aspect. That would be key for me. As I understand it, FOF is probably the best all-around football sim at the moment, but it makes you recreate the NFL structure. Not interested.

Also, I really hope any potential game would have Facegen, ala OOTP. I just find that increases the immersion factor immensely in these types of games.

Oh, how I hope so. I'd just love a good billards game.

Bingo! Total Score (who doesn't want a Bingo simulator?)
Battle The Stars (OOTP Dev does 4X space strategy!)
Breed The Sheep (a farming simulator—why not?)

OK so it's not just me, BTS isn't a known entity ...

Doesn't exactly sound like a football sim acronym... but maybe ....

Break a Tackle Simulator


Beat The Safety


Haha.

Who wouldn't buy that?

[Francis Cole]

Sorry, I'm not allowed yet to confirm or deny "Breed The Sheep"

In case anyone's wondering what BTS is short for, I'll go ahead and reveal it:

Burgers Tacos Sub's

OOTP Developments is venturing into super fast food for it's OOTP 15 customers! And Markus has chosen Francis Cole to be the head chef.

Bacon Tomato Selling (a sandwich shop simulator)
Broken Time Servicing (a wristwatch repair simulator)
Birds: Terror from the Sky (a horror game)
Battleships: Time to Strike! (a naval combat simulator)
Below The Sink (a plumbing repair game)
Box The Socks (a build-a-shipping-empire game)
Bury The Scum (a gangster-themed story game)
Brave The Snow (a polar expedition simulator)

BTS = Baste the Steaks (a restaurant sim, obviously)

Well, it does say Brad is the marketing manager for BTS, so I guess he would know best.

I would have thought a cooking reality show simulator. You play as one of the contestants trying to win the grand prize against an array of tough celebrity chefs!

[tomwolf2008]

How about Behind The Scene (as for what does that symbolizes, I don't know...)

[tomwolf2008]

Also, maybe, just maybe...it's just part of an elaborate hoax that OOTP does for every April Fool's Day. You know, they need to think of something to outdone the Middle Earth one back in OOTP 11

But I admitted that "lead developer of BTS" do make me curious now as well

[Le Grande Orange]

Break The Safe (a safe-cracking sim of course)
Balance The Sums (an accounting simulator—imagine the excitement!)
Blast The Structure (a building demolition simulator)

That's clearly a sim where you try to build a movie studio empire. You have to pick which projects to greenlight, which stars to use in which films, what director to use, what the film's budget will be, how much to spend on marketing, when to release the movie, etc., all the while keeping your investors happy with solid box office returns! But watch out, too many flops and you get fired!

Interestingly, Francis Cole has 120 posts. But yet only 3 of them show up publicly. Sneaky, sneaky

I had noticed a game in development a while ago and posted the blog at SimNation. The developer came and commented. Forum Name? FLC....

A new Football game in progress...
