Just a few more screens showing the goalkeeper defense system (testing):







Thank you for all kind words, it gives some extra motivation because i will need it for sure.

Like i said i will try to release a video in the next days where it will be possible to see the game play at the moment.

Thanks again for all your comments.
Cheers.
Jorge

It looks great however the forward players need to move forward when the player tries to score a goal. There should have been someone on the other side for a good cross. But I am thinking to much of FIFA here heh. Keep up the good work, the AI will need a lot of work but it's looking good.

You´re right Hellcrypt, there´s a lot work to do, thought the problem you mentioned its easy to solve right now. You see, the AI its in a early stage but the team strategy is changing considering several game situations, and one of them its the team ball possession.

As you can see in the last pictures because the ball its now in the blue team possession, the blue team changed its state to attack and the grey one to defend, so the players received a message to go to forward positions.

Of course this need to be changed and there is a hard work to do, specially coding the players behavior at three levels: strategic positioning (when the players do not have an active role), ball recovery (trying to obtain the ball possession, intercept...) and ball possession (what they will do if they get the ball under control).

FYI the word "Droid" is the copyright of Mr.George Lucas, so if you were going to use it in a game you could easily be in trouble. Id call it BOT soccer or some other name.

@ NITRO777
Hey, thanks for the information. Althouth the name Droid Soccer wasnt final i like it and probably i would mantain it. Well, it seems i will start be thinking in an alternative name for the future, but for now i will not change it.
Damn, why people make themselves "owners" of words?

@ Pedro
Thanks for your comments about the project.
And yes, i will need help in the art thing like you will need in other areas. I will contact you soon.
Thanks Pedro.

wtf, first i thought you are joking. but you aint...
i guess i have to create a game called "lucas the droid - episode one : causing trouble"

You can call them "Android" or "An-Droids",
since this is the original term, wich he can not copyright.

@ Damocles
I think the short term "Droid" sounds better than "Android Soccer", but its a possibility..

@ Ello
N´droid sounds good
I wonder if someone owns the "N" letter?
