Football Coach Simulation Gamemaker Gets Seed Funding
coach and win GmbH, a German games developer that puts artificial intelligence to work in its products, has raised seed capital from the High Tech Gründerfonds. Its flagship product is a football (soccer for our US readers) coach simulation game.
This startup is not the only game in town, there are a surprising number of these just in the German market alone, like OnlineFusbballManager.de (screen shot below) and fusballmanager.de from Bigpoint Gmbh,
and soccermanager (which runs on Yahoo and Freenet) from Neopoly.
Its backers say this startup has four things going for it that its competitors don't have:
= The football coach game is based on AI
= coach and win has the rights to the German Bundesliga
= User controls his own team in a browser-based 3D animation format
= Since every football fan thinks he's a better trainer than the team's real-life one they are highly motivated to show their skills (play frequently in other words).
The site is under construction but here's the link
