White Room Games resurrects Footballer of the Year IP

Remember 1980s ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 IP Footballer of the Year? It’s coming back.
As is the way nowadays, White Room Games will this afternoon launch a Kickstarter appeal for the project. The game is being developed by Birmingham studio Flaming Pumpkin.
The plan is to first release iOS and Android versions and eventually expand onto other platforms.
“We are looking for donations (£1 and upwards) and in return you can get either real world items or in game bonuses,” White Room director Luiz Ferreira told MCV. “We also have some exciting in game sponsorship and advertising opportunities, which includes advertisements behind the goal and sponsored items.
“As you know making video games is extremely expensive and given the economic situation it is almost impossible to get investment for projects. Therefore we have decided to turn to a crowd funding website, Kickstarter, to get our project off the ground.”
