changedOctober marked a big milestone for us at Esports Team Manager, we released our first demo as part of Steam Next Fest! It was so exciting for us to see you all playing the game and it was a great learning experience for us too. It’s amazing to see the game out in the world and you guys having a great time playing it! Your feedback has been so valuable, we really appreciate everyone who took the time to fill in our survey and to share their thoughts in our discord server or on socials.
addedSo what’s next post-demo? We’re currently working on implementing your feedback into the game and tackling any bugs that may have popped up during the demo. As a management sim, it’s really important to have the saving and loading features on lock so we can preserve your saves, stories and season. A major aspect we received a lot of feedback on is the in-game matches, this is something we’ll be fine-tuning so that the outcome of matches will be clearer overall. We also want to make it easier to see how your chosen team is doing on the whole. One extra feature we’ve been wanting to add into the game is ‘Mastery’. Mastery will influence which champs certain players are better or worse at, which will affect in-game outcomes and your drafting methods. From now until December, we’re full steam ahead in heavy development to perfect the game for release!
