Football for Friendship unites world: Uganda musicians create fan chants for the new F4F World game

A transnational developers team (Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Brazil, Australia, China) is creating a new online game – the Football for Friendship World (F4F World) international football simulator. Fan chants created by musicians from Uganda will become a bright feature of the gameplay.
The new simulator will have several special features. One of them is the three modes: football player, coach, and fan. 18 chants of different levels of difficulty (with and without music) were created especially for the fan mode. The musicians will create over 40 tracks for the fans. Over 30 people from different countries of the world are creating the sound design for the game.
As fans, players will have the opportunity to choose favourite teams, earn fan merchandise, support the players of their favourite teams. The quality performance of the fan chants increases the players’ speed, affects their recovery after injuries, and gives the team extra points.
“What is football? First of all, football is emotions. It invokes incredible strong emotions, and it doesn’t matter whether you are playing it or watching your favourite team play or if you are playing an online game. You want to experience intense emotions and share them with your teammates, your friends. That’s why the element of fan support in football has such an important role in the development of the F4F World simulator,” notes Andrey Inyushin.
The release of the simulator is scheduled for the autumn of 2020. The game is created with the support of the International Children’s Social Programme Football for Friendship. The Football for Friendship World helps organise in real time games of international teams with players from different countries. The format is the same as in the offline championships of Football for Friendship, which unite players from 211 countries and regions of the world.
“I’m lucky to be one of the Football for Friendship participants. We were so amazed by the event that unites the whole world that we created and offered our friends from other countries a new song – the project’s hymn,” shares Kay Davis, a musician from Uganda. “When we found out that a new online game is under development, we wanted to participate in the sound design. We hope that the players like our fan chants, and that everyone will be able to immerse themselves into the atmosphere of a football game, and truly experience these emotions.”
DataArt is the developer of the F4F World game. The company created the Skillotron educational gaming platform that won multiple awards. It is also the global solutions developer for Nasdaq, Travelport, Ocado, Centrica/Hive, Paddy Power Betfair, IWG, Univision, Meetup. The game will be available on MS Windows, Apple macOS, Android, iOS.

Another star lands in the Stellar Fruits galaxy

ICONIC21 launches Stellar Fruits 20, the latest instalment in its Stellar Fruits series which combines classic slot gameplay with cosmic energy
Another star has joined the galaxy with ICONIC21’s latest slot release, Stellar Fruits 20. This is the second title in its Stellar Fruits series, which promises classic fruit action and cosmic energy.
Stellar Fruits 20 expands the Stellar Fruits universe with a title that brings simplicity, colour and excitement, catapulting players into a thrilling and rewarding orbit.
The game is set across five reels and three rows with 20 paylines active in the base game, offering smooth spins and fast-paced wins.
Players strap in and hold tight as the reels fire up and spin, with some high value symbols in play.
This includes fiery Red Seven that plays as the Wild, substituting for all other symbols to secure additional win combos and boost prizes.
Then there’s the Golden Scatter which shines from any position, delivering those out of this world wins that players are looking for – the max win potential for Stellar Fruits 20 is 1,000x.
Stellar Fruits 20 is the second game in the series and follows Stellar Fruits 40, which launched last month. There are four games in the series in total, with Stellar Fruits and Stellar Fruits 100 to come.
The main difference between each game is the number of paylines, which vary from 5 all the way up to 100 and impact the max win hit frequency of each title.
Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “With Stellar Fruits 20, we’re taking players on another journey through our signature universe, this time with a faster-paced twist on the gameplay they already love.
“Stellar Fruits 40 showed us there’s strong appetite for classic-style slots with a modern edge and now we’re offering a version tailored for players who prefer an even more focused experience.
“This is just the next step in growing a series designed to entertain different player styles, and we’re excited to see where it takes us next.”
ICONIC21 has established itself as a leading iGaming content provider after recently expanding its offering beyond its core live game portfolio to include slots, crash, promo tools and more.
This has seen the provider pick up five nominations at the up-coming EGR B2B Awards.
