That moment when the guy that you thought wants to steal your GF actually steals your GF, your “future” e-Sports career and any semblance of self-worth.
Andrei is such a hate sink it actually makes me kinda like him, if only because I get to see him rage into oblivion. He reminds me of those Youtube gamer rage videos.

Cant wait to win with just a handgun, fortnite for example, i won a match with a pistol, a car and way too much pulse granade, of course its was with just friends
Glad to see that ‘Raindrop’ has a vibe of pubg, where u need to be smart about things, or just plain stupid and skilled enough to survive a “rush” headalong into the enemies
Our childhood friend is gonna have a broken friendship waiting for her if she really expect me to just take her boyfriend smoking in my face without punching him.
I really hope we’ll have the option to tell her off about this, miss me with that ‘I don’t even want to talk to you for a while’ nonsense, go cry about him to a wall then.
I honestly did not expect the E-sports mechanic to work as well as they did, even if the loot sessions get kinda repetitive if you already have everything you need (they probably feel like godsents if you got unlucky tho I guess?).
Accessories are also kinda awkward to handle since I never remember what accessory I already have, maybe they could be added to the stat screen?
Other than that it’s a lot of fun and I really like the reckless play style, even if it doesn’t mix well with trying to be a team player. High Risk, High Reward is always fun.

yeeeep, wanted to be the friend for her, but smoke in my face, nah man, you’re lucky you got off with just a punch.
Can’t wait for the other ro’s to appear

I would definitely love to see this developed more. Besides the idea of playing a wannabe pro-Esports player, I really liked having to deal with the RO’s boyfriend, even if it does make my MC kind of feel like a loser.
But that will make it all the more satisfying when I finally get to fuck him over, more so out of spite than a desire to be with Vlada. The dude is a completely worthless piece of shit.

I punched him, making me the winner.

I doubt this game will feel realistic unless a guy in a blue furry suit wins every single EVO tournament every single time all the time.

Wrong E-sport.
not to criticise but won’t it be better to have a tactical shooter instead of a battle royale? also i think counter strike is really popular in russia and if it was a tactical shooter it will be quite easier to write and smoother to play then lets say a br because no more picking up guns, switching armors, random loot and stuff, instead its more likely you have a very defined role in the team since its either you are igl or you rifle a lot or you awp whenever you have money. just my two penny of thoughts. also loved the demo and excited for more.

I’ve toyed with, and written, multiple concept matches when I was starting the demo. I’ve tried both a Moba format (think lol) and a tactical shooter (think CS), since those two genres are what I have much more personal experience with. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t get the matches to work in an IF format. It either turned out too bloaty/unsustainable, or too repetitive and bland (of course, this can be just a skill issue on my part). A BR format works well, since it’s a single ‘round’ that plays a little like an action movie.

Oh no, no, I don’t think it’s an issue on your part. Now that I think about it properly, if you do get to make it around a tactical shooter, then there’s the thing with so many rounds being played, and every round plays differently with adjustments and stuff. And some matches will be close, and some matches will be BO5, so you will get two choices. You either have to write like forty to fifty rounds per normal match and even more for BO5 or overtime stuff, or you just literally skip around and write two or three rounds for the entire map, and that might take the immersion away.I think with POMA and your own life keeping you busy, and the fact that writing so much will take such a long time with bare minimum progress towards the end of the game, I can see why it won’t work. Unless you want to do a repetitive stats check and the same thing happening again and again like Super Star Soccer Striker or whatever it was, which is just plain boring. Though I do hope if it doesn’t take much of your time away from your life and writing POMA, or if you get burned out after writing POMA and have free time, some sort of writing progress update and such be provided since the premise is very unexplored in IFs and very interesting, albeit only if you have free time and aren’t mentally or physically tired.
yep, that was it. Even if I limited the amount of rounds to like 6-7 per match, considering all the possible variations, I knew I couldn’t handle it. Which is a shame, since I grew up playing CS haha
PoMA is my priority and I make sure it’s updated/written first, but I do have time rn so you guys may expect a FS update sometime in September =)

It’s funny because those two genres were what I was expecting when I started the game.
That or one of those weird competitive MMO you sometime see in Manwhas like The King’s Avatar (in that last case, you could have genuinely just copy pasted a lot of POMA mechanics IMO)

Not surprised, I think that’s what most people expect when they hear ‘eSports’.
This was also an idea I considered! But believe it or not, I wanted my second wip to be less ‘stat heavy’ than poma so that I could take a break from coding/balancing stuff. I thought a BR was a better fit for it.
And then in the process, somehow, it became even more complicated mess code-wise than poma -_- (I’m starting to feel, I might be the problem here…)

Lol, but to be honest, esports IF, if anything, is going to be stat-heavy. Imagine how cool it would be if we could create a character like Draken to hit all insane shots but miss the easy ones, lol. Now that I think about it, why not integrate something like traits into this game too? Like a clutch trait where whenever you are in a clutch situation, your stats get a bit of a boost, or maybe a big game player trait where your condition gets a boost if it’s an elimination game or a very high-stakes one. There are so many unique ideas that can be integrated here.
(EDIT: Am i tweaking or like i remember i saw you post a poma update but now there is nothing on boosty and i feel like i saw some update notification today with like some new events and stuff?)
