Jon Hare launches Kickstarter for Sociable Soccer

With Dino Dini working on Super Kick-Off Revival, it only stands to figure that another key figure of UK-developed top down football video games, Jon Hare, returns to the fray as well. Sociable Soccer that is being designed by Hare and developed by a group of Finnish industry veterans, including one of the founders of Remedy - Sami Vanhatalo.

As you'd expect the game is a topdown football simulation where the players have rather big heads. The game will "feature over 500 National, Club and Custom teams including over 10,000 named players. You can play online multiplayer matches whenever you want, representing your own Country, favourite Club or chosen Clan in an endless series of matches".

'A community of approximately 20 million fans worldwide have played the soccer games I have designed. I'm thrilled to return to the genre and look forward to delivering a game which once again raises the bar the soccer videogames.' — Jon Hare

The campaign that has just kicked off is looking for £300,000.
