Tomorrow is the first Short Season Games release! Who knew this day would actually come?
To celebrate, I’ve created our first coupon! Use the code “grandopening15” (no quotes) for 15% off your entire order! It can be used as many times as you want until it expires at 11:59pm on this coming Sunday, February 5th, so go crazy on the only six items that I’m offering (until more come out next week).
Just a few short hours until the first games and seasons are dropped!
So what can you expect in this space? A whole lot of things.
I’m hoping this blog won’t only be a place to say “look out for [game xyz] coming next month,” but a place to share thoughts about games/sports/sports games of all kinds. It all starts February 1!
Welcome to Short Season Games!
I’m very proud and excited to start this site, as it’s the next step in 3+ years of work and 25+ years of interest in sports sims and games.
So what will this be?
Primarily, I want this to be a place to showcase the work I’ve done and to share the games I’ve created. Especially since the start of the pandemic, I’ve loved discovering, learning about, and playing all sorts of sports sims. Naturally, as I played these games, I noticed the elements I would change, add, or remove. And so, I started making my own–not because those games were subpar or lacking in fun, but because I thought my own spin on a sport would be entertaining and interesting.
Then what won’t this be?
This certainly won’t be a venture with the aim of replacing those other games. In fact, I’ll probably end up promoting or reviewing some of them in this very blog. There are some truly great games out there, and you should check them out!
It also goes without saying, I’m certainly not starting this site with the aim of making tons of cash and quitting my day job (although that would be nice). Obviously, the print-and-play sports simulation game market does not, from what I’ve seen, appear to be a gold mine. Maybe if this were March 2020, but let’s hope we never see days like those again.
Ultimately, here’s what I want this site to be: a place to where I can present my work and add my games to the pantheon of sports sims.
After all, I’m just like you! I love practicing our brand of alternate history, where the excitement doesn’t always lay in the plays on the imaginary field but in the collection of stats, the pennant race, and the season as a whole. So I’m going to offer everything at as low a price as I think is fair, and there will be plenty of sales (I love sales). Honestly, the only things keeping me from setting the shop prices closer to zero are the hosting fees and my demand to have a nice-looking and easily-navigable website. But alas, internet storage is what it is.
So thanks for checking out Short Season Games! Please check out the shop, drop me a line if you want, and I hope you stick with me!
