Hello all, We have good news coming to Esport Tactics, a lot has happened since the playtest launched. And we are approaching a release date. [b]The elephant in the room[/b] As most gamers have seen, back in September the Unity3D CEO announced that the company would be changing their fee system to where every game sale unity would take a cut. A deeper look into it had some developers speculating there could be a charge to every download or install of a game, not to mention this could effect free games or potentially demos. This decision could have made Esport Tactics unfeasible. [b]Unity's reversal[/b] Later the decision was reversed, but I did not see the reversal until [i]today[/i] because the damage was already done and the reversal was quietly send out on their blog. [b]This means Esport Tactics is back on the development trail![/b] [b]State of playtest and Early Access release date[/b] I'm proud to announce we are approaching Early Access, I wanted to take some time as gamers played the playtest and reported bugs. There have been no bugs issued since our last playtest update in June, so we are asking players to please submit any remaining bugs in our [url=https://discord.gg/RWRAWerzy5]Discord server[/url] under the bug-reports channel, or the Esport Tactics Playtest Steam Discussion "Playtest bug reporting" Once we fix any newly reported bugs, or if a set amount of time passes without getting new bug reports, we will announce our release date. The playtest will then end and it will no longer be accessible. Goal is by end of 2023 as I planned originally. As for when new features will be added throughout the Early Access phase, I am not sure on the timeframe but be assured the game will be worked on periodically and Discord is the best place to get quick information about Esport Tactics progress or ask me questions. Lastly I would like to apologize for the lack of communication on progress for Esport Tactics. I am currently working 2 jobs and finding time to manage this project and when the Unity fee news hit I almost abandoned the game, but I did not. I decided to wait to see if Unity would reverse course, and they did. So Esport Tactics is on track for a release again :D Thank you all so much for understanding, I hope you all look forward to Esport Tactics -2 Turn Studios
