Dear friends, it's time for a new Devlog, but before we start it we'd like to make a few announcements. The first news is the exact release date - the full Esports History version will be released on Steam on [b]October 3, 2024[/b]. The second news is the announcement of Esports History: Prologue, a few weeks before the release we are going to release a free version of the beginning of the game which will contain all new mechanics from the full game. We hope you try the new version of the first acts and like it. Our team has been working at a record pace for the last few months, even though it's not easy we realize that the release is inevitably coming, and that inspires us. In the last 40 days we've done: [h3]New dynamic background for locations[/h3] [list] [*] Now under the locations will be a dynamic background that changes depending on the time of day.
