Testing & Demo
Due to insufficient testing in the early stages of "Variables" and "Variables 2," we encountered various issues, such as numerous bugs in "Variables" and UI problems in "Variables 2". This time, after careful consideration, we have decided to conduct public testing and offer a free demo on Steam before the game's release! We hope to receive valuable feedback and suggestions from all of you to help us improve the game!
We plan to release a free demo (testing) version of "Esport Godfather" next month! You can add it to your wishlist and follow it to receive updates and even receive an email notification upon the game's release!
Alternatively, you can join our QQ group: 1094866698. During the test period, we will collect feedback and information in the group.
Crowdfunding Campaign
Similar to "Variable 2," we will be launching a crowdfunding campaign on Modian. This time, we have prepared various rewards, including posters, playing cards, mouse pads, badges, fridge magnets, and more. We will also open up avenues for customization. The crowdfunding campaign will allow you to customize clubs, match commentators, in-game items and equipment, sponsors, and even heroes!
When the crowdfunding campaign begins, we will provide reminders on the "Esport Godfather" page.
Giveaways
During the development and release of "Variable" and "Variable 2," our studio received tremendous support from many people. We are deeply grateful to all the friends who participated in the demo and helped us improve the game.
Therefore, when the testing and free demo period begins, we will hold giveaways on Bilibili. The prizes include physical items, custom clubs, heroes, and more!
In addition, we have something big planned! In the comments section below the giveaway video, if you follow the rules and leave your ID (in Chinese or English), we will add your ID to the pool of athlete IDs! There's a chance that you might find your ID appearing in screenshots uploaded by other players!
