What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that a sports management simulation requires extensive feedback to reach its full potential. Early Access allows us to involve the community in balancing the complex economy and AI systems. We are looking for players who can help us decide which features to prioritize, such as the Academy system or the detailed financial management. Your feedback directly impacts the development roadmap and the gameplay balance.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access may last for more than a year. We want to ensure that the game leaves this phase only when we judge that all key features are implemented and polished.”

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

“The full version aims to offer a complete simulation. We plan to add an academy system, in-depth financial management, a more comprehensive editor, and an online cooperative multiplayer mode. Additionally, we aim to integrate an AI powered by Machine Learning along with many other unique features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, this is the very first playable version. You can already take control of a team, simulate full seasons, play in cooperative mode, and watch the AI evolve throughout the simulation.”

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

“Yes, the price will increase upon the full release. We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new major content and features.”

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

“The community plays a key role. I rely on players for their feedback and bug reports. Through our Discord server, I will organize weekly or monthly votes to guide the game's development based on what the players want.”

About This Game

Delta Manager is a hardcore management simulation designed for purists who value deep strategy over visuals. This is a strictly text-based experience where the simulation includes no 2D or 3D graphics. instead, you track the action through a simple yet crucial real-time leaderboard. In the solo campaign, you will face a relentless AI as you fight for the Driver and Constructor Championships. A full race weekend simulation awaits you, requiring you to simulate practice sessions to gather information and navigate high-pressure qualifying sessions. During the race, you must adapt to dynamic weather conditions and utilize various team orders that can drastically alter the outcome.

The depth of management extends to the financial and structural core of a motorsport organization. You are responsible for choosing sponsors, selecting engine suppliers, and managing both race and reserve drivers. You must upgrade your infrastructure and eventually negotiate prestigious naming rights contracts for your team. The R&D system adds a layer of uncertainty, as upgrades are based on probability. you must decide how much risk to take to improve performance or when to shift focus entirely to the future car to gain a head start. At the end of each season, you face critical career choices: stay to build a legacy or move to a rival team for a new challenge.

To ensure endless replayability, the world of Delta Manager is alive and unpredictable. New drivers are procedurally generated every season to maintain immersion, while the race calendar evolves over time. The hierarchy of the grid is never safe, as minor or major regulation changes can completely shake up the competitive order, forcing you to relearn and adapt. Finally, the game features a massive local cooperative mode where up to 11 players can manage their own teams simultaneously on the same screen, engaging in a battle of wits without needing an internet connection.
