Excellent game, loved it! It would be great if all the people here on Kong who have played Bell's Heart knew about the sequel.
Good luck with your projects! Oh yes, and the demo I found on your blog is also very nice and I can't wait for the full game :)
The difficulty shouldn't raise based only on a player's strength or star rating. Perhaps a league should have its own "star rating", so the challenge (and salary) would depend on a combined (player+league) star rating? That way the same player would have a tougher time but the bigger salary in higher leagues.
The star rating can even be attached to clubs instead of leagues, that will make gameplay more realistic, but, I'm afraid it would overcomplicate things.
But I'm not complaining, the game is great! And the "older brother" is also great, though I'm far less succesful there :)
