What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I decided to launch the game in early access because, as an independent developer, I can involve the community from the beginning and work alongside them to implement their ideas and suggestions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I began developing Jousting Manager in 2019, although it had a one-year hiatus in 2020. It's now in a fairly stable state, but I'm eager to hear what ideas and suggestions the community has to improve it further.

I'm confident that a launch in 2025 is entirely achievable with the community's help, feedback, and critiques.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The tournament part has been thoroughly tested and finalized, except for possible balance adjustments. However, it's in the campaign where exciting new ideas can emerge. During early access, we plan to introduce potential additions such as new random events in the campaign, and more maps to enhance the variety of 'arenas' where tournaments occur.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The player can participate in as many tournaments as they want but only in one 'arena.' This version lacks additional diversity in 'arenas.'

In the campaign mode available in this version, the player can plan training sessions, build team sports equipment, expand facilities, scout and hire knights and staff.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will not change when we exit early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan to involve the community primarily by listening to their ideas and suggestions. I'll be actively present on Steam forums and our Discord, answering questions and engaging in discussions. By working together, we can create a game that everyone will enjoy.”

About This Game



Welcome to the exciting world of medieval jousting, where you get to be the manager behind a team of knights. Immerse yourself in the medieval era and lead your brave knights to glory through epic and challenging tournaments. Take charge of a jousting team and travel the world, participating in thrilling tournaments. Are you ready to forge your path to greatness?

You'll have two resources: money and fame. Participating in tournaments is the easiest way to earn them. Your knights will need weeks to recover after each game, so you must plan the season, decide which tournaments to enter, and choose the knights to send.

Manage the fame:

Reputation will be used to improve relations with noble houses, allowing you to buy their horses or sign their young squires, whom you can train into knights for your team. While squires, they'll be assigned to a knight, trained with them, and, most importantly, helped dress for tournaments, affecting how well or poorly they perform.

Similarly, reputation can also be spent on knights or staff without a team. During tournament transfer windows, it's crucial to determine the order in which teams can make offers; this order is determined by the amount of reputation you pay.

Gold coins will cover all expenses, including salaries, horse maintenance, facility expansion, and the armory.

Having the best armor, lances, bows, or saddles will be an ongoing race. All equipment will degrade at the end of each season, forcing teams to build new and better items continually.

Tournaments will feature five different events, with jousting as the main one. To win, players must choose each pass, the lance to use, speed, where to aim, and the type of strike pose. Pairings will be decided using a Swiss system, and there will be four other events between jousting rounds.

These include an archery competition, capturing the ring, throwing a wooden plank using lances, and hitting the medieval dummy with enough force to make it spin without getting hit.
