Ready....Steady...

Go!

Ultimate Boxing Manager is dead...long live 'Ultimate' Boxing Manager!

The new version has now gone live in 2006 as promised. Only just though, 6pm 31st December!

A big thanks to all beta testers and supporters of BoxMan. Couldn't have done it without you.

Hope you all enjoy it and as always I'm here to give you support. Apart from tonight that is, I am having a v e r y deserved drink!

All the best for the new year to one and all,
Anthony.

Drafting in the experts...

Things are really getting serious now.
I have released the game to the Beta-testers for a thorough thrashing.
Really looking forward to their responses and making the improvements that will really take the game to another level.

And...It is good!
Apart from a 'game-busting' error that needed attention, the fixes and amendments were mostly cosmetic and changed without too much trouble.

Feeling really confident now and, as I enter the final testing phase, looking forward to releasing the game. Misplaced confidence? We shall see!

Results!

Hurrah!
Spoke yesterday with the man in charge of the advertising at the legendary 'Boxing-Monthly' magazine. Very nice guy, we chatted about what I was trying to achieve with the game and he agreed that I can add Boxing-Monthly into the game. Result!
And...
In exchange for me putting the mag in the game, he is going to put the game in the mag! Result again!
I am very much looking forward to working with BoxMon and hope all users of BoxMan will appreciate the feature.
The winners ultimately will be the users. Results for all!

Long Time Coming...

Phew....

It...is done.
Finally finished 'Boxing Manager Professional Edition' after a year of being messed around / let down and another year of doing it myself.

It...has not been easy.
Quite a few times it became simply too hard and only a lot of love from my family and encouragement from a hardcore group of supporters, kept me going.

It...should be good.
I am 24 hours away from releasing the game to the Beta group for testing. Payment system has been setup and the game has been 'tweaked' to death. All the internal test have gone well and I hope the Betas will have a similar experience. New website is also ready. The plan is a full release of everything January 1st 2007.

It...is all good.
Thought it might be an idea to do a blog, since the forum never really took off last time. I hope people will be interested in reading this.
Anyone whom has had contact with me hopefully knows I do care about the game, their opinions and when I write 'All the Best', actually mean it.

It...should be a good start the year. Let me know how you feel about...it.
