It happened again.

Five seasons after the VBA world was stunned by the arrest and murder trial of Donovan McClellan, another scandal has struck the hearts of GMs and fans. Grant Frye, FC of the New Mexico Aztecs, was picked up Wednesday afternoon at his Albuquerque residence by two detectives on the charge of First Degree Murder. He was booked in the county jail awaiting trial with no bond.

The details of the case have yet to be made public, but the prosecutors cited his fractured hand that kept him out of VBA contests for 15 days as the “smoking gun” in this case. Claiming that Grant struggled while in the course of committing murder, but eventually took the victims life.

The trial date has been set for Wednesday, May 20th, and the court has started jury selection. You can be a juror!

If interested in participating in the murder trial of Grant Frye, please comment below. The last trial we ran was fun, interactive and entertaining, but truthfully speaking I didn’t execute it the way I had hoped. This one I will get right.

Want to look through evidence? Walk through the crime scene? Solve clues and reach an undeniable verdict? Then come be a juror in Grant Frye’s murder trial for the VBA! WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I've been working on for the last couple of years. Floosball is an American Football simulation game that is very much inspired by Blaseball. I discovered Blaseball back in COVID times, and as someone who just likes to build stuff, I was inspired to create something similar but with football. It originally started out as a way for me to work on my programming skills and learn by doing, and after many years of work I was able to finally implement everything that I had envisioned for it and turn it into something actually playable. I see there are already a couple other Blaseball inspired football simulations going right now which all seem super cool. Floosball is definitely lacking the cosmic horror aspect that we all loved about Blaseball as I didn't really want to copy it directly, but I did attempt to capture one of my favorites aspects, the ridiculous player and team names.

It's in a closed beta test phase right now, but if anyone is interested in playing and helping me test, I'd really appreciate it! Just request access and I'll approve it. I really only have a small handful of people playing right now. I also have a Discord server set up for providing feedback.

What is Floosball?

The Simulation

• 24 teams split into 2 leagues. Each team has 6 offensive players (QB, RB, WR x2, TE, K)
• 28 weeks make up the entire regular season. 7 games play every day from Monday to Thursday starting at noon eastern. Free agents change teams on Saturday, and the new season starts on Monday.
• Playoffs start on Friday at noon and end with the Floos Bowl
• You can open any game and watch the play-by-play update live with drive charts, scoring plays, and win probability updating in real time.

Prognosticate (Pick-Em)

• Before or during each round of games, predict the winners. Points scale based on when you commit. Pre-game picks are worth the most, but you can hedge mid-game at reduced value.
• Points convert to Floobits at a 2:1 ratio, and hitting 96+ points in a week earns a Clairvoyant bonus. Weekly and season leaderboards track the best forecasters.

Fantasy

• Each player on a team generates Fantasy Points using the same rules and scoring as real fantasy football
• Fill out your roster with players and earn Fantasy Points as your players play games. Compete against other players to place on the weekly and season long leaderboards.
• Players in your roster can be swapped out if they aren't playing well, but your roster swaps are limited, so choose carefully

Trading Cards

• You collect player trading cards, each with a named effect that modifies your weekly fantasy scoring. This aspect of Floosball is very Balatro inspired
• Cards come in four editions: Base, Holographic, Prismatic, and Diamond.
• Base card effects are all your reliable, building block effects. Low ceiling to most of them but they're never bad cards to have in your hand
• The higher the rarity the higher the ceiling, but also more situational. Diamond card effects are meant to be the defining card for certain builds.
• Each cards power is also determined by skill rating of the player on the card and its rarity. Two cards with the effect may have different output values depending on the player on the card (5 stars vs 3 stars)
• Cards also have a Match Bonus system. If the card's player is on your fantasy roster, the effect gets a 1.5x boost. So there's a real deckbuilding element. Do you equip cards that are generically strong, or build around your roster for match bonuses?
• You can equip up to 5 cards per week (6 with a power-up or special card classification).
• Cards are tied to the season they were created in, so you start fresh every season.
• There's a daily shop with rotating selections, four tiers of packs to open, and power- ups.
• Theres also the Combine where you can sacrifice multiple cards to create a new one at a higher edition. You can also sell cards back for Floobits.

Favorite Team Management

• When you sign up you choose a favorite team.
• Starting in Week 22 each season, the Front Office opens on your favorite team's page.
  • The Front Office is meant to be a fan-driven GM voting system.
  • You can issue directives to fire or hire coaches, re-sign or cut players, and request specific free agents. Each directive costs Floobits.
  • Motions need a quorum before they go up for ratification, and everything resolves during the offseason.
• Every team has a market tier: Small, Mid, Large, or Mega
  • The team's market tier determines offseason bonuses to player development, morale, and fatigue recovery.
  • Fans fund their favorite team by contributing Floobits, either directly during the season or through an auto-contribution percentage that donates from your unspent balance at season's end.
  • Higher tiers mean competitive advantages in the offseason.

Economy

• Everything runs on Floobits. You earn them from fantasy performance, leaderboard finishes, correct predictions, and team milestones
• You spend them on card packs, daily shop cards, roster swaps, team funding, front office directives, and power-ups.

Hello!!! I’m so excited for this day to be here.

I am a solo dev who decided to make a college hockey GM game called PuckBunny GM! I’ve wanted games like this in underserved sports like hockey for a long time. I’ve made some previously but never been able to make it for a real app for a real audience until now with the assistance of AI.

This app is still very early in beta, but version 3 (3) is out and I believe it to be relatively bug free. That being said, I am nowhere done improving this game, and already have a substantial amount in private since this public release version. That being said, I believe the app has reached a point where it is both fun to play and good for public testing so yall can get some early fun out of this that I myself have already been having, as well as provide feedback to me on what you’d prefer to see in the game and changes you’d like to see happen.

As for this, I have made a subreddit r/PuckBunnyGM, and a discord that is linked in the about page of the app. Both of these I will monitor when I can. I am a full time Mechanical Engineer during the days and this is a passion project of mine that I hope to share and provide some fun for as many people as I can.

If you wish to join the public beta, please click the link below! Right now it is only open for 75 people. I have no idea how much or little that is right now for a game I expect to be niche, but all 75 immediately fill, I will be sure to extend it! If not, it’ll depend on the feedback I’m getting and I’ll gauge it from there.

Built for the Ring – Beta Now Live

I’m excited to shadow drop the beta for Built for the Ring. Before anything else, I want to clearly explain what this version is and is not so expectations are set properly.

By getting the game in its current state, you are actively helping with beta testing. In-game, there is a button in the bottom-left corner. If you run into any issues while playing, you can use that button to send feedback or report bugs directly to me.

What’s included right now

This beta is mainly focused on Match Mode and most of the Create Mode systems.

The following features have been tested and are playable, but please expect bugs and glitches (I’m currently the only tester):

-Singles matches in Match Mode 

-Uploading and downloading databases 

-Basic onboarding + planner tools 

-Core creation tools for: 

—Wrestlers / workers 

—Moves 

—Arenas / Shows

—Match setups & rules 

—Companies 

—Locations 

There is more in the build beyond this core, but anything outside of it should be considered experimental and still being tuned.

What’s still experimental / in progress

-Larger team matches (including 2v2 tag) — playable, but lightly tested 

-Match objectives + objective creation tools — available but not fully functional yet 

-Crowd reactions 

-Crowd & match rating systems — still being refined (scores may not make sense yet) 

-General polish (pacing, readability, presentation) 

What’s coming next

This is just the beginning. Planned updates include:

-A much larger default database. Right now the game only includes a small fictional promotion based around a truck stop in New Jersey. More workers, companies, and content will be added over time, including matches, weapons, arenas, etc. for this database. (of course I am excited to see what you all make for these things!)

-More polished and intuitive creation tools 

-More Polish (it’s so important I’m saying it twice)

-Feedback will directly shape improvements 

-A story mode + story creation tools where you can create your own scenarios or replay real-world style events. More details about this coming soon. 

-Expanded match systems and deeper match logic (a lot will be based off your feedback.

-Improved crowd and rating systems 

-Overall improvements to Match Mode depth and presentation 

Important note about current content

The default database is intentionally very limited right now. It’s meant as a starter set, not a full wrestling universe. At the moment, it’s a small fictional promotion with a truck-stop theme. Also to be clear, for this game, you don’t need massive databases. You can have a database based around one promotion and it will work perfectly!

Pricing & Access
The beta is priced at $6.99
Platform: Windows OS
Get the game here:
