Your Club Colors in Homefield Hero

A club in Homefield Hero is more than a crest in a menu. The selected club’s colors are already used in several parts of the game and change the look of the player and the interface.

One system, different club colors

The two screenshots below show the same idea with two different color palettes. This makes it easy to see which elements currently adapt to the club.

The kit

The most obvious change is the player’s kit. Its colors are taken from the selected club’s palette, giving the player a different look when the club changes.

The parachute

When the ball is lost, it returns to the position of the last shot by parachute. The parachute also uses the club colors, so even this gameplay mechanic fits the selected club.

The status display

The status display at the top of the screen also picks up the club colors. It is a smaller detail, but it helps carry the club identity beyond the player character and into the interface.

The color system will continue to grow with the game. For this update, though, these screenshots show only elements that are already working in the current build.

What is Homefield Hero?

Homefield Hero is a 2D platformer with a football at the heart of every level. The goal sounds simple: take the ball with you and get it into the goal at the end. Getting there is where things become interesting.

You run, jump, dribble, slide and shoot your way through the level while the ball rolls, bounces and reacts to the world around it. Lose it, and getting it back can become a challenge of its own.

And then there are the clubs.

Real amateur football clubs can become part of Homefield Hero. Their colors, crest and details from their real home ground help shape their levels. That means an ash pitch can feel different from grass or artificial turf, and every club can bring a little bit of its own identity into the game.

The screenshot above shows one of those club-inspired moments with Rot-Blau. Homefield Hero is still growing, and there is plenty more I want to add. New levels, new ideas and probably a few things that will behave very differently from how I originally planned them. That’s part of the fun.

If you play for, help out at or simply love an amateur football club that should have its own level one day, keep an eye on the project. Maybe your club will be next.
