The big headline of this month’s development update is that the ‘Esports Team Manager’ demo will be out and ready to play on October 13th as part of Steam Next Fest! The development team has been hard at work, spending this month polishing up our demo build for the Next Fest. This will be the first time the game is playable outside of our team and the first chance to experience our unique champs, real teams & MOBA inspired drafting system. The demo will feature at least a dozen real teams, with more to be included in the full version. We’re continuing to adjust both champs and player ratings all the time, with little touches and hot fixes being updated throughout the demo build and beyond.
We can’t wait for you to get your hands on our game and we want to hear your feedback!
The draft system
One aspect of the game we’re really excited for you to try out is the drafting system for our in-game game. The drafting system is modelled after those in real-life MOBA games, for us realism and authentic feel is key. We want drafting in ETM to take you behind the scenes and feel like your favourite MOBA games. We’re talking pick rates, ban rates, stats, and analytics. As an avid MOBA gamer, Paul loves a good nuanced drafting system and strived to capture that feeling within the game.
