Irish Sport Manager 0.33.3: thirty players, none of them on rails. Each at their own pace, football going backwards to go forward, a loose ball stopped and lifted, a clean catch inside the 20 called as a mark. Free demo, Windows and Mac: store.steampowered.com/app/5050590 #GaelicFootball #Hurling

The 2026 rules are in. Two-point arc, two-point frees, kickouts clearing the arc, three-up, the black card, a penalty for the cynical foul on a goal chance, the sin bin. Set up to farm two-pointers and it works. store.steampowered.com/app/5050590

Irish Sport Manager 0.32.0 is up. The commentary says a score a dozen ways now, and hurling and camogie finally sound like themselves. Name your cover for each line and the coach follows it when a man is out. Free demo, Windows and Mac: store.steampowered.com/app/5050590 #GaelicFootball #Hurling

Irish Sport Manager now runs on Mac. The free demo is on Steam today for Apple silicon and Intel. Same game, same world. Also this update: the six lines want different players, and your scout can cross the county bounds. store.steampowered.com/app/5050590/ #GAA #Hurling #Camogie #indiedev #mac`

The manager across from you was a corner-back you called into the panel in 2031. Nobody arrives at senior level from nowhere. Players come up through the clubs, and when they retire they become the selectors, the coaches, the U20 managers. A save remembers who everyone used to be. #GAA #gamedev

The world generates from a seed, with decades of history behind it before you take a job. In one 800-season run, London won it once (not pictured). #GAA #gamedev #indiedev

Camogie and ladies football have never been in a video game. Not a bad one, not a mobile one. Nothing. They're in this one, with their own rules rather than a reskin of the men's game. #Camogie #LGFA #gamedev

A player's club is fixed at birth. It follows him his whole career, and it's where the next one comes from too. Seven lads from one parish on a county panel isn't a bug. It's most of Ireland. #GAA #GaelicFootball #hurling

Every man's afternoon on one sheet. Rating, score, assists, turnovers, saves. Kept season after season, so in fifteen years you can look up what your new U20 manager did when he was still playing. #GAA #GaelicFootball #hurling #gamedev

An afternoon in the stand is worth a winter of the U20 manager's opinions. Every man you watch is a man the selectors know. Or you can stay home and read the letter, and take his word for what he saw. #GAA #Hurling #gamedev

There are no contracts in this game. You can't buy a player, you can't sell one, and you can't pay anyone to stay. All you have is a word in his ear, once a month, and whether he believes you. #GAA #indiedev

Connacht final. Mayo and Galway, 34,805 in, 61 minutes gone. And someone has just walked for a second yellow. You're watching it from the sideline. The whistle hands you back the controls. Free demo on Steam, 31 August. Mayo is one of the counties you can take. #GaelicFootball #Mayo #Galway

The U20 manager doesn't work for you. Same board appoints him, he picks his own team, he has his own championship to win. Your standing decides whether he releases a lad to the county, and how much of the truth about him you hear. One pint a season to fix it. #GAA #gamedev

Your scout doesn't give you a number. He gives you a range, and tells you how much he trusts it. Send him back to watch the lad again and the range tightens. Or don't, and pick on a guess. #GAA #gamedev

Nobody in this game is real. But a player's parish is fixed at birth and follows him his whole career. Scout the club championship and you're scouting the map he grew up on. #GAA #GaelicFootball #indiedev

Hurling isn't football with a stick. Different scoring, different possession, different injuries. All four codes have their own rules and calendar. Football, hurling, camogie, ladies football. Free demo 31 Aug store.steampowered.com/app/5050590 #GAA #Hurling #gamedev

Every world needs somebody to answer to. The Home Games Association runs all four codes in Irish Sport Manager. It writes the rule changes, sets the fixtures, and signs the disciplinary letters you would rather not open. Free demo on Steam, 31 August. #GaelicFootball #Hurling #Camogie #gamedev

Players have faces now. Every one is generated from the player's own seed, so nobody's real, but your corner-back looks like himself for his whole career and greys as it goes on. This is Kian Murphy of Kilkenny, 23, with a Leinster medal already. #Hurling #GameDev #IndieDev

Screenshot of Irish Sport Manager. A Gaelic football match between Mayo and Galway, score 0-1-5 to 0-0-6. The left panel shows the team laid out by position with player names and ratings; the right panel shows a top-down pitch with numbered players and a running commentary feed.

Screenshot of Irish Sport Manager. A camogie match between Cork and Kilkenny, score 2-15 to 2-14. The team panel lists players by position with ratings, and the top-down pitch view reads POINT as Nuala Buckley scores a free.
