Win it, three passes, one-on-one, done. ⚽
I'm Kenny. I'm making Essential Soccer on my own in Chippenham: a top-down soccer game where every player is hand-animated.
Demo is free to play right now in your browser on PC/Mac: essentialsoccer.app
Full game on Steam soon
I have wanted to build this game for over 30 years. It is only this year that I have finally been able to produce the product that I have envisioned, thanks to the power of frontier models.
As far back as the first PlayStation with its development kit in 1996 I’ve explored the viability as a solo developer but always found it either prohibitively expensive, technically challenging or limited by artistic creativity.
Sensible Soccer and Sensible World of Soccer (SWOS) was a real epiphany. It proved than 3D, motion capture and expensive studios were not required to create an accessible, pick-up and play experience. It was addictive. Jon Hare and the small team at Renegade were so far ahead of their time it’s laughable. What a legacy.
It is with that inspiration that I am now driven to make Essential Soccer the best it can be.
I will share the build experience here, good and bad.
It’s finally happening. What a time to be alive.

No single move tops positional play. The core is creating numerical superiority through intelligent occupation of spaces—especially half-spaces—and third-man combinations that force opponents to shift. Overlaps, underlaps, and inverted full-backs work best when they open passing lanes rather than chase the ball.

San Siro’s transformation into Generali Stadium 🇮🇹
🏗️ A new stadium and a new look for an entire Milan district. Inter and AC Milan’s planned Generali Stadium will accommodate 71,500 fans, alongside new green spaces, shops and a museum.
The new arena will rise beside the Meazza, which will remain in use until its replacement opens. Much of the historic stadium will then be demolished, with a section preserved within the new complex.
