We're working hard here at U-Play Online, gathering your feedback and developing Esports Life Tycoon into the best esports manager ever! Today’s update is based on what you told us on the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/897410/discussions/]Steam discussion forum[/url] and [url=https://discord.gg/KkJ5KZS]Discord[/url]. Here's everything we are adding today: [h1]Update 0.5.[/h1] [list] [*] The task system has been totally reworked! Now, you can increase Hype, Training, and Chemistry infinitely before matches. You'll always have something to do in the gaming house! [*] Tasks now offer more information: we've changed tasks to a numerical value to give you a better understanding of your upcoming match, as well as an expected result of how your team will perform against your rival. Task performance will be improved as you climb divisions. [*] Chemistry and Training rebalanced: now, they are both equally important in preparation for the matches. [*] Energy tweaked: now escalates according to your gaming house improvements. [*] Each room can now be improved 5 times per gaming house, which means more growth capacity for your players! [*] You now need a minimum amount of fans to reach higher divisions. In return, Hype now grants more fans. Popularity is essential for an esports team to succeed! [*] Economy adjusted: more income from Sponsors and Hype, more expensive gaming houses, cheaper players' clauses and sales... Balance your profit and losses to avoid bankruptcy! [*] There are now more Sponsors than ever before: 4 sponsors per division, 24 in total. Choose the right one according to your current situation! [*] General balancing to allow a more logical progression through all the game, including a lower requisite CEO level to move to new gaming houses [/list] [b]Also, lots of issues have been fixed in this update, thank you for helping us to spot them![/b] WARNING: due to the sponsors' tweaks, there may be some save files which can contain sponsors that do not correspond to their season, which can lead to more or less income than expected. After ending the current season, it's automatically fixed. We also have a surprise on this update: we have introduced [b]a random event featuring a special guest[/b]! If you happen to come across this character, take a screenshot and share it with us on Steam and/or Discord! How do you feel about these changes? Keep giving that precious feedback to us! Help us steer the game in your preferred direction as we're listening for every word you've got to say. Remember that, as an Early Access title, we'll be developing Esports Life Tycoon with the help from the community. Best of luck for your esports careers! See you soon, The U-Play Online & Raiser Games Teams
