Hi, Steam folks! :D
Now's as good a time as any to let people know some baseline fun facts about Esports Team Manager!
- NO MICROTRANSACTIONS. Plain, simple, and never. The only "extra" will likely be a donation tier for people who want to donate to the team and have their name added into the game, but I wouldn't consider that a microtransaction. We're keeping these at arms length.
- Cheaper than most skins in most games. That's right. We're coming into Early Access at $20, with a sale price of $16 (all based on USD).
- Real teams. We've already had 4 teams agree to be in the game, and we're looking to expand to about 20 by the time the fall rolls around. While I can't guarantee or predict that aspect, I remain confident we'll have at minimum a nice plethora of real AND thoughtfully constructed fictitious teams.
Also please join me in welcoming Cubby to the development team! Cubby serves as our Lead Ratings Analyst - who better to rate our players and teams than someone who's coached, commentated, and watched all of these players and teams regularly? We're honored to have his expertise and guidance throughout this process.
That's all for today! Please keep spreading the word! If you haven't joined our Discord, please consider doing so for regular updates and to reach out to me directly if you have any questions about the game.
Until next time - lots of love!
