Versus mode is back, giving FMFC members the opportunity to challenge each other for the ultimate online bragging rights.

Since its launch in November 2020, FMFC, the Football Manager members club, has offered exclusive access to feature news, competitions, events and even the opportunity for members to appear in the game. With the new-look Versus Mode, members can now compete against one another in a variety of tournament formats.

Formerly part of Football Manager Classic and Football Manager Touch (PC/Mac), Versus mode joins Fantasy Draft and Online Career as one of the three exciting multiplayer game modes available in Football Manager 2022 (PC/Mac).

Versus places the focus solely on playing matches, empowering managers to test themselves against each other in competitive tournament settings. Whether you’re playing in a 10-team league or gearing up for a one-on-one, winner-takes-all match-up, you can take your treble-winning side of 2030 and pit them against the superstar squads assembled by your friends and other FMFC members.

It’s the closest thing to an ‘instant play’ mode available in FM22, allowing you to also test out tactics and players against the AI.

Look out for more FMFC exclusives coming soon. Not a member yet? Sign up here.

To start playing Versus mode in FM22, you’ll need to use the sign-up/sign-in panel on the game start screen to sync the game up with your FMFC account.

Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be able to jump straight in to Versus mode and start putting your skills to the test.

For more info on how to make the most of your Versus mode experience, check out our dedicated support blog.

Note: We’re aware that a delay arises when another manager joins a game as a spectator. We’re working on ways to rectify this and hope to release a fix in the Final Winter Update. As always, your feedback is essential to help us improve your experience – if you find any other issues please log them on our community forums. We will also be gathering wider feedback from FMFC members in the coming weeks via a dedicated Versus mode survey.

Ground textures are really coming along nicely.

We will be releasing a video version soon.

Hey there!

I just released the 1.5.1 update on Steam, which adds official support for Mods!


So, how do mods work exactly?

First of all, the official platform for mods can be found at https://shapez.mod.io. On this platform you can share and download mods! (An in-game mod browser is also planned, but that might take a while)

To install a mod, you need to extract the downloaded ZIP file. In the ZIP file there should be a single file with the extension ".js". You have to copy this file into the mods folder.

You can find the mods folder by going to Settings > Mods > Open Mods Folder in the game.


As already announced, the official modding contest ends herewith. I will now look at all the mods and choose the winners!

Next week there will be an announcement with the winners of the contest, in which I will also present the mods.

In addition I plan to regularly choose a Mod of the Month! I will also make this dependent on how many new mods are created.


There are already over 50 mods published, so I thought I'd already recommend a few to get you started!

[h4]shapez Industries[/h4]
Adds a lot of new buildings, new shapes, research, upgrades - by far the biggest mod so far, changing almost the entire game.


[h4]Hexagonal[/h4]
All shapes now consist of 6 parts instead of 4!


[h4]shapest[/h4]
Adds entirely new mechanics for shape and color processing!


[h4]Pipes[/h4]
Adds pipes and fluids to the game!


[h4]Buy Land[/h4]
Makes the game more challenging by having to unlock building space!


[h4]Mirrored Buildings[/h4]
By far the most requested feature, now available as a mod!


[h4]Cursed Shapez[/h4]
"Adds a Variant of the Stacker, Mixer, Cutter, Quad-Cutter, Filter, Mixer, and Painter that would make any veteran shapez player cry."


[h4]Shapez Expanded[/h4]
Lots of new buildings and mechanics!


[h4]Multiplayer[/h4]
Adds experimental support to play shapez.io with your friends!

[h4]wrexcavator[/h4]
Unlock strong buildings by harvesting "wreck" resources.

[h4]Blueprint Library[/h4]
Allows to save and restore blueprints!



... and a lot more, to be found at https://shapez.mod.io!


Wish you a lot of fun with all this new content and looking forward to your feedback!

PS: Be sure to join the official Discord Server to discuss anything about the game and/or mods!

For the next seven days (February 25 to March 3, midnight PST), 100% of Beetlewing's profit from sales of Slipways will be decidated to supporting the Ukrainian people. At the end of next week, this money will be donated to the Polish Red Cross #naPomocUkrainie fund ("help Ukraine fund"). The Polish Red Cross will use this money to secure food, medical supplies and other necessities for the victims of the war in Ukraine, in coordination with the Ukrainian Red Cross.

Slipways paints a world free of war and military conflict, and I sincerely hope that one day our descendants can live in such a world. We're unfortunately not there yet, so all we can do is try to alleviate some of the horror of war and help those affected by it. This is the intent behind my decision.

Please remain respectful here on Steam and refrain from incendiary comments on this topic. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Update has been published on Steam, featuring the new routing system:

• Route search was optimized, which will increase performance of the game.
  
• Every passenger now knows their route and will follow it until they arrive at the destination. This should fix routing-related bugs.
  
• Passengers now exchange information about the routes between cities.

This should solve problems with routing such as passengers flying back and forth between two cities and losing track of their destination.

We're continuing to work on game quality. Keep with us and have good flights!

Hey everyone!

Short patchnotes today as this patch only introduces Twitch integration amongst some minor stuff.


As requested by some streamers on Twitch I've introduced an integration into Marble World.
On the main menu you'll find a one click button to connect your account to the Marble World Integration app which then monitors your chat.

When having a World open you'll find a twitch button in the top bar. This button is only visible if you have a connection to the integration.

By clicking on it you'll see the integration panel which allows you to configure if your viewers can join and who can join amongst some other settings.

Once viewers type !join, they'll be entered into the list visible in the panel. They will remain there even if they leave the chat. Viewers who join get a certain "rank" in Marble World based on if they're a sub, vip or mod. This rank is just for internal usage when spawning / handling marbles. A viewer who meets multiple conditions will get the highest rank. For example a mod who is subbed will belong in the mod category and not in the sub category regarding skins and who can join.

The exception to this is the effects list, regardless of your rank you will get an effect if you are subbed.

In the panel you'll find the following settings:
- A toggle to let viewers join or not.
- A configuration panel to let specific viewers join or not. (non-subs, subs, vips, mods)
- Ability to set skins based on their rank.
- Ability to give subs an effect.
- Ability to automatically spawn the viewer as a marble on join.
- Ability to let a viewer automatically respawn when dying. (1 second delay)
- Ability to blacklist viewers. These viewers cannot join unless you remove them of your blacklist.
This blacklist is saved on your computer and is a global list for all worlds.

When spawner's spawn marbles they'll always try to spawn joined viewers first who are not spawned yet.




In this patch I'm also introducing the first transition piece. Very useful when needing to go from flat to tube/pipe. This piece is available as a static variant in the tracks -> straight section and when building with free-form!

In addition I've added variants of the flat wide track and the flat single track with borders on the left or right side. These are also available in the free-form section.





The notes for 0.1.18:
- Added Twitch integration. Viewers can now join as marbles.
- Added 2 static transition tracks for transitioning from a wide flat track to a pipe.
- Added wide flat track variants with single borders.
- Added single flat track variants with single borders.
- Added these new options to the free-form system.
- Updated the free-form track type menu.


During the next month I'll be working on a tutorial for new players. In addition I'll add some more content for existing experienced players. Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!

If you have any questions your always free to chat using any of the social media's :)
As always, thanks for the feedback & support! It means a lot to me.
