Hi everyone! A quick apology from me (Dan). In yesterday's 1.0.15 update, I accidentally broke watering. For some players, Woodlings would shake instead of properly watering crops. 😅 This should now be fixed in Update 1.0.16. Thank you to everyone who reported the issue so quickly. The bug only affected some players, and I'm hoping those Woodlings at least had water left in their watering cans so they could keep your carrots growing while they worked. Sorry for the trouble, and thank you for your patience and support! Maybe it's time for me to slow down with the updates for a day or two before I break something else. 😅

Welcome to Retro Manager: Why I Created This GameHi everyone,My name is Mark, and I'm the solo developer behind Retro Manager.I thought the first developer blog would be a good opportunity to introduce myself, explain where Retro Manager came from, and share why I decided to create a football management game in the first place. Retro Manager is my first ever coding project and I've loved learning new skills and watching my game develop as the weeks rolled by.A Lifelong Love of Football ManagementLike many football fans, I've spent countless hours playing management games over the years. In the 90's, I loved the Premier Manager and Championship Manager games. I've always loved the challenge of building a squad, discovering young talent, balancing finances, improving facilities, and slowly turning a struggling club into a powerhouse.But as the years went on, I found myself with less free time. Between work, family life, and everything else that comes with being an adult, sitting down for a five-hour gaming session became a lot harder than it used to be.I still loved football management games. I just wanted one that respected my time.The Game I Wanted to PlayThat's where the idea for Retro Manager began.I wanted a game that captured those 90's games and the feeling of running a football club without requiring hundreds of hours to enjoy it.A game where:Seasons move quicklyMatches are fast and excitingClub building mattersStadium development is rewardingPlayer progression feels meaningfulYou can play for 15 minutes or several hoursMost importantly, I wanted a game that focused on the decisions that make football management fun.Why the Retro Style?The retro-inspired visual style wasn't just an artistic choice.I grew up playing games where imagination filled in the gaps. Simple graphics often left more room for the player to create their own stories.Retro Manager embraces that philosophy. Rather than chasing realism, the goal is to create a game that's easy to pick up, eas...
