So we are start to migrate all our's UI's to new engine version, that's why upcoming update is delayed and will be near of February.

Alpha update 07.08.2016
Hello everyone

The August has started and we are back with new update. This time we are focus on hero images and change the tournament bracket. Also we are fixed a lot amount of bugs, which prevent you from keep playing our game. Added the ratings calculations and changed match UI, also fixed some markup bugs on match view. Guys honestly based on previous update when we are forget to update code and overall fatigue of me, then I’m decided to go for a holiday until the september. In september will back to work on this game and the first point will be finish hero's skills and match view.

What has done:

  1. Fixes for level up the hero:

    • The experience row is showing an actual value. I mean right now it's show how many experience hero has in current moment.
    • When hero lvl up, then shows an actual hero level.
    • If hero don't have the ability points to spent, then Level up button is not shown.
    • When you are learn skill for hero, then the skill button is active for actions in a time. So you are don't need to wait next turn untilt the button is shown.

  2. Added the rating calculations. So each day players play games, MMR games. So when you decide to sign player, then you may check they MMR rating.
  3. Changed UI on match frame
  4. Fixed bug on pick/ban frame which prevent you from continue actions
  5. Change the tournaments displaying and matches

    • So right now all series is bo3 series, rather than bo1, which was before.
    • On the tournaments grid you may select the tournament and then you may click "show bracket" button and you will see the bracket
    • Also all tournaments have right now 8 teams, will add ability to add more in future.

  6. Added remaining images for heroes

  7. Fixed the critical problem's which prevent you from keep playing after first match

Alpha update 09.07.2016
Hello dear players,

Swiftly after the last, we’re following up with our newest update. It’s been nearly half a year since we began regularly updating the game, and we hope those who have been with us from the beginning can see how the game has evolved overtime. In this update we have added another 2 sets of hero skills. We’ve also populated skills for all heroes. (just populated not implemented). We also added music and hero images (and fixed the problems with displaying heroes and player images) to the game and started to work on skills (with a new 2D artist). In addition, we added the ability to level up heroes during a fight. We’ve starting working on FPS mode, making templates for the players and teams. If you’ve found any bugs feel free to leave it in a discussion forum).


More patch notes:

  1. Added music into the game after the many reviews. The initial idea was to play your own music of choice, but we added an unobtrusive soundtrack for popular demand...
  2. Added skills for following heroes:

    • Hedgehog

      • First skill reduces victim's armor, max stacks = 4.
      • Second skill damages enemy heroes in an area.
      • Gives hedgehog a chance to reflect damage if attacked from behind. Damage based on 2nd spell level.
      • When hedgehog cast spells, he becomes the only targetable unit by enemy heroes.

    • Rebel Knight

      • First spell gives stun and damage.
      • Second spell gives splash attack.
      • Third spell gives armour to all friendly heroes.
      • Ultimate gives percentage of bonus damage.

    • Stone Giant

      • First spell stuns and damages enemy.
      • Second spell gives damage.
      • Third spell gives a stun chance for melee attacks.
      • Ultimate grows giant which gives him damage bonus attack speed reduction.


  3. Fixed bug with displaying player's photo on team's frame and on transfer's frame.
  4. Replaced old hero images.
  5. Fixed the problem with displaying hero images.
  6. Changed the UI on pick and ban frame.
  7. Fixed the player count for each team. Guess will be correct if each team has 6 players (5 main and 1 in reserve).
  8. Added the possibility to fire players.
  9. Fixed the problem with displaying hero images in the fight frame.
  10. Added ability to level up the hero.

    • Hero kills and assists are rewarded with experience and gold.
    • When the hero receives required experience.

      • Level up hero by 1.
      • The ‘New Level’ button appears.

    • When you click ‘New Level’ you are given the option to level up a skill by 1.
    • Max skill level is 4.
    • The squares under the skill shows proper values.

      • Unmarked for unlearned skills.
      • Shows one gold square for each level of skill.
      • White square shown when skillpoint is available.




What we plan for next month

  1. Add images for remaining heroes.
  2. Add skill images for 5 heroes.
  3. Add skills for 4 more heroes.
  4. Fix the level up ability, meaning you can only level up ultimate on 6th, 11th and 16th level.
  5. Fix the problem with resolution.
  6. Need to add hero statistics panel.
  7. Update tournaments.
  8. Add tournament bracket and bo2/bo3 series.

Alpha update 19.06.2016
Hello dear players

It was a very productive month for us. We’ve been added the steam cards for Cyber Team Manager and changed UI to new style, also reworked teams and players (names, stats). We are plan a lot but made only a half, the other half will need to do in the rest of month. Also we are back to our CG work, so soon will be done unique images for each hero and skills. Also some of the heroes will be removed because of different reasons, but it’s will be only the 30% from total count. Also when will add the skills for 15 more heroes then will hide others (which dont have implemented skills) until the implement skills for it. Further explanation of this and upcoming patch read below.

    • Tactic: Technique, Anticipation, Flair
    • Team play: Creativity, Decisionmaking, Leadership, Team play, Work rate
    • Micro game: Last hit, Reaction, Concentration, Decisionmaking
    • Macro game: Positioning, Technique

  7. Fixed player's conditions calculations. So each day the player condition is restored after the condition decreased (for example when the player back from vacation or after the hard matches). Also in the day when team play's match the player condition restore less effective than in the day when player have a rest. Also if you are set training's intensity to high, then the player less effective restore his condition too.
  8. Added unique teams with names and players instead of current randomly generated teams.

    • 40 teams in 4 regions.
    • 200 players in this 40 teams.
    • 200 available players for transfer.

  10. Changed the teams assign to the tournaments. So it's 10 teams in each tournament with both top/mid/low players. But it will need future fixes.
  11. Added organizations. This is will be first step before implementing FPS mode. So the next step will be implement FPS mode :)
  12. Added the microeconomic for teams. calculation salaries / sells / profit, etc. Also you can track your balance change in finance tab. Also will need future fixes for this tab.

  6. Need to add scouts and change the transfer process.
  7. Need to add skills for 5 more heroes.
  8. Need to add rankings system, where players will play solo games and from where scouts will take the hot prospects for your team or you can do it yourself.
  9. Need to add the possibility to lvl up your hero during the fight.
  10. Sketch up the FPS mode inside the game. It will be demo version and guess unplayable, so it will be hidden from you.

Alpha update 09.05.2016
Hello dear players,

Another month has gone by and a new update arrives. As I said, it was completed much faster than previous one. Continuing at this rate, the next update will be in a month or so. It was a very productive month in which we’ve added many new features. We’ve also refactored the code which splits the game into separate modules, decreasing the overall development time.

What we’ve done:
