Gaffer to Football Manager-Level – Full Stack Game Dev Needed (React/Next.js/TypeScript)

Job ID: 40571063

Budget: €10,000 – €20,000 EUR

Overview
BALLKNW.com is a live browser-based football management game (Gaffer) with real squads, transfers, academy, cups, and a 2D match engine. I need a developer to deepen the gameplay to rival Football Manager.

What I Need
Tactical Depth

In-Possession & Out-of-Possession formations.

Player roles (Ball-Winning Midfielder, Advanced Playmaker, Inverted Winger).

Formation visualiser showing shape changes.

Matchday Experience Upgrade

New animations (passes, tackles, shots, saves).

Real-time match statistics (possession, shots on target, xG).

Commentary-style event updates.

UI Overhaul

Modern, fluid interface (desktop + mobile).

Dark theme with club colour accents.

Feature Depth

Scouting (assign scouts to regions).

Staff management (coaches, physios, scouts).

Youth academy with regen players.

Contract negotiations (players reject offers, clauses).

Required in Your Proposal
Tech Stack: Frontend framework, state management, animation engine, match engine, testing, deployment.

Architecture: How will you structure game logic (engine) separately from UI? How will you handle save/load (localStorage → cloud sync)?

Match Engine: Will you extend the existing footballsim integration or build your own? How will you handle real-time match events (goals, cards, injuries)?

UI Implementation: What component library? How will you handle responsive design? How will you implement drag-and-drop for tactics?

Performance: How will you keep the game fast on lower-end devices? What caching strategies will you use?

Testing: What framework? How will you test match engine logic?

Deliverables
Fully functional game with all features listed above.

Source code committed to the provided GitHub repository.

Deployment to production (Vercel/Netlify).

Documentation (setup, architecture, API, deployment).

30 days of bug-fix support post-launch.
