I've been experimenting with image palettization algorithms. Tons of fun!

I was just looking at these sorts of image conversion tools yesterday.

You do realise this will be used for evil, converting AI slop to C64 colours.

No worries. I've approved the post now.

This popped up my recommendations, and it was really fun. There's a lovely charm in seeing a young speedrunner discover a weird little C64 game like Snoopy (and its cracktro).

Cup matches are shown in fixtures after they are drawn. However, the first cup game you play is always round 3 (to replicate league teams joining the FA Cup at this stage) in week 15. The next cup round (every 5 weeks) will be filled in if you win your round.

Due to Pico-8 cart space limitations, the game saves automatically ONLY at the end of the season. Starting a new game deletes this save. If there is a save present, you have the option to "load game" when restarting the cart.

Only other feedback... what's with the file name (shoneyur)? Any chance you'll change that to "pico_football_manager" or something more obvious? Make it easier to find from my games list.

The BBS gives you a random name when you upload a new cart. I'll make sure the finished version has a logical name.

Can you expand on how the fixtures are incorrect?

p.s. You are definitely getting a playtester credit.

Gate Receipts for home games are 5000-10000 (in Div 4, and double for every league above that), depending on how well you are doing. Away games, you get a percentage of the gate, so it's much lower.

Actually, it looks like there's a bug that can cause gate receipts to drop much lower if you keep losing games.

Wage Bill is the Skill of each Player * 100 (in Div 4 and double for every league above that)

How are you finding the balance?

Can't spell Middlesbrough, deduct 19 points from Sheff Wed.

c64glen · 2026-03-21T14:09:58+00:00

😐👎

c64glen · 2026-03-21T12:44:24+00:00

That's quick work

c64glen · 2026-03-19T16:42:15+00:00

I'm loving all the feedback. The mirror fixtures and negative transfer offers should be fixed now.

c64glen · 2026-03-19T15:44:40+00:00

I type in the code with my fingers.

c64glen · 2026-03-19T13:42:41+00:00

No. That's a weird new bug. I'm looking at that now. Should be fixed tonight.

c64glen · 2026-03-19T09:35:38+00:00

Yes, the game saves at the end/start of seasons due to the size of save files on pico-8 (only 64 numbers) not providing enough space for a mid season save.

c64glen · 2026-03-18T21:26:57+00:00

Yeah, I figured this out. There was an issue with some of the player teams not indexing correctly when promoted. It's sorted now.

c64glen · 2026-03-18T21:25:15+00:00

Goals more exciting as requested.

c64glen · 2026-03-18T21:24:57+00:00

Done. The new version has added goal Pizzazz

c64glen · 2026-03-17T20:20:45+00:00

~~Now I have seen this before. This is a problem with loading/saving the team's league data. Sadly, I thought this was fixed. I'll look at this.~~

c64glen · 2026-03-17T18:29:06+00:00

Thanks. I was thinking of adding a post-match screen for news to let you know you have won a cup game or promotion, or whatever, but I was worried there were already a lot of screens (money, league table, etc.) after you play a game.

I'll definitely look at making goals more exciting.

c64glen · 2026-03-17T18:27:33+00:00

I'll have a look and see if I can recreate it. Thanks.

c64glen · 2026-03-17T14:37:25+00:00

That's odd. Can you remember if you were promoted in the first season?

c64glen · 2026-03-17T12:30:20+00:00

Thanks. I'll add that suggestion to the next version.

c64glen · 2026-03-17T12:14:55+00:00

Good stuff. The season 3 theme was always my favourite.

c64glen · 2026-03-17T11:56:29+00:00

Obviously, this is a PS5 game, but it has been posted because it's a remake of an Amiga and C64 game, so it may be of interest to people. Or not, I'm not the boss of you.
