Turfstorm

Turfstorm (stylized in-game as turfstorm) is a future American football sports video game. An original concept by LoganC22, the game will be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows.

Gameplay
Drawing inspiration from NaturalMotion's Backbreaker & Sony's LittleBigPlanet franchise, Turfstorm is a simcade-style American football game where customization and user-generated content are at the forefront, while attempting to recreate the emotion and experience of actual football. In the game, players can take control of a football team and compete against the CPU or other players in online play, with the end goal of being victorious.

As aforementioned, the game emphasizes customization and sharing as two strengths aside from gameplay; this is due to the game not using NFL teams because of the NFL and NFLPA's exclusive agreement with Electronic Arts. These two things can be done in the game's heavily extensive "Creation Studios". In this mode, players can create up to 36 custom teams (each team can have up to three custom perks, which every built-in team also has), their own plays and playbooks, and their own custom free agent players that they can use in single player or share online via the PlayStation Network, Xbox Network and/or the Steam Network for other players to use. Players can even create their own 12, 24 or 36-team custom leagues in this mode with their custom teams and/or the game's default teams.

Additional gameplay features include a fluid tackling system where tackle animations do not repeat, an officiating system similar to those of real football games and the ability to create a separate, online custom league with other players and their teams.

Game Modes
Collectively, there are a total of 6 playable events in the game. Unless otherwise noted with a caret, game modes are playable in both single player and online play.


 * Training (^) - A mode where new players can learn and adapt to the game's controls and rules and run practices for the offense, defense and special teams. Players in this mode can choose whether to practice against another team or a "team" of bots that are similar to the "Dummies" fantasy team from the Madden franchise.
 * Creation Studios - The game's main creation hubs. As stated, players can create their own custom leagues, custom teams, plays, playbooks, and free agent players and they have the option to use their creations in single player or share them online.

Trivia

 * Last Game Idea created by LoganC22 for 2022.
 * It is also the first ever original Game Idea for LoganC22.
 * It is also the first non-racing Game Idea for him to date.
 * When the player starts the game, there is a chance for the game to display one of two different opening cinematics (see the legend in the "Soundtrack" heading above). This makes the game effectively have two theme songs.
 * According to LoganC22, the game is a renamed and redesigned Idea he originally thought of. Specifically, the Idea was first called "Metalstorm" and it would have been a racing game inspired by Death Race & Full Auto. While the colors were the same, the logo had a futuristic "M" and flaming wheels in place of a football helmet and trophies, respectively. He ultimately decided to redo it as a football game "to explore new audiences and because "Metalstorm" gave me a serious case of Idea maker's block."
 * When creating custom teams for online use, players are barred from using the names of current NFL teams. The same is true for custom players.
