Finally, we want to once again thank all of you for your support this year. On behalf of everyone at Asteroid Studio, we wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year! May all your wishes come true!

Long time no see, I’m 1000Water the producer of Esports Godfather.

I’m excited to announce that the first expansion pack for "Esports Godfather" is now available! Honestly, it’s been five years since the game’s development began, and it’s been quite a journey watching the heroes grow from the initial 20-30 to now. I hope you all enjoy the new heroes—Quinn, Matata, and Foso.

Recently, I’ve noticed some concerns from the community regarding the DLC and future plans, so let’s address them here.

[h2]1.Why release the DLC before the World Championship update? [/h2]

This is a tough question. I know some of you may be worried that we’re rushing to balance the books or just trying to make a quick profit, especially since I mentioned in an earlier announcement that we only reserved six months of development funds.

I realize that trust still needs to be built, and in a time when many game companies shut down unexpectedly, talking about trust can feel awkward. But I truly want to establish a strong relationship with all of you because we all want "Esports Godfather" to keep improving.

There is no risk of the studio shutting down, so don’t worry. I promise that the World Championship update, version 3.0, will definitely launch in 2025. However, it may take some time to finalize the plans. We misjudged how long the major updates would take, and as game developers, we always want to make the game richer and more detailed. But plans often don’t keep up with changes, so I can’t confirm an exact release date for version 3.0 yet. We’ve already started working on some of its components, and while it’s too early to say, I think you’ll really enjoy the new regional competition format.


[h2]2.Why are heroes included in the DLC instead of system mechanics? [/h2]

This comes down to cost. Creating a hero, from the model to the portrait, from the MVP animation to the battle animations, as well as effects and cards—honestly, it’s something I really want to do, but the cost is just too high. We estimated that on average, developing a single hero costs about 40,000 RMB (around 6,000 USD).

I really want to add more heroes so we can have global ban & pick systems and more team-building options. The hero count can really influence a lot of aspects, from 50 to 60, or 60 to 70, it makes a huge difference.

I’d love to add more heroes, but I have to consider the studio’s future and make sure the team members can earn some financial benefit. I thought about solutions like launching another crowdfunding campaign (the previous one was on Modian), allowing people to customize heroes, but developing heroes is too expensive for that plan to be feasible.

So after much thought, we decided to go with the expansion pack format.

As for why big updates, like the World Championship or the recent major update, aren’t being turned into DLCs, I believe these are things we promised to do and, out of respect, they shouldn’t be charged for in any way.


[h2]3.Will there be more hero DLC packs in the future? [/h2]

I’d love to have a second hero DLC. I’ve already designed the characters’ abilities, and I really want to see them made and finished. But realistically, we’ve never released DLC content before, and honestly, we’re not sure how well the DLC will sell… So we’ll need to evaluate the financial results of the first DLC. If the profits or losses are acceptable, we will proceed with the second one.


[h2]4.Will making hero DLCs take up development time for the World Championship update? [/h2]

The bulk of hero creation is in the effects and animations. For the next World Championship update, aside from a small amount of UI work, the effect artists and animators don’t have other tasks lined up. I have two plans in place: if the first DLC performs well, we will continue creating more heroes. If it doesn’t do as well, we might prepare for the next project.

As for the programming and design aspects, because heroes have unique mechanics, some coding is required. I don’t know much about that, but based on our current development progress, the time required isn’t too much. A lot of the groundwork for mod support has already been laid.

As for the design side… Whenever I have free time, I like to try writing hero abilities. For me, it’s a relaxing time, and I can’t wait to make them.


[h2]5.Why launch the multilingual plan for the game?[/h2]

I noticed many translations other than Chinese and English have appeared in the game’s Steam Workshop (I’ve been sneaking around on the Korean "Esports Godfather" forum via the Workshop link), and through communication, I found a lot of players unhappy with the English translation. Now that version 2.0 is more stable, I think it’s time to reconsider the feasibility of supporting multiple languages…

But honestly, we haven’t fully discussed internally how many languages to support or how to cooperate with translators. What’s been confirmed so far is that we will re-translate the English version and also support German and Korean translations. If you want more languages, feel free to reach out to us anytime via the Steam community or Discord.

[h3]Alright, the above is what 1000Water wanted to share with everyone this time. [/h3]
[h3]This is Moto, and below are the store links for this DLC along with an introduction to the content included in the DLC. [/h3]

[h3]Next, I will address some specific questions regarding the in-game combat mechanics.[/h3]


[h2]6.Combat Rules[/h2]

Each battle card has a unique activation range and duration. The participating heroes are determined based on the card’s activation range, and the battle ends when the specified number of rounds is reached.


The player who plays the battle card is the attacker, while the other side is the defender. If the defender has a defense tower at the position where the target hero is, the tower will also participate in the battle.


If a battle lasts more than 10 rounds, from round 11 onward, all heroes will gain a 10% damage boost that stacks each round.

(Note: Coaches can check the detailed rules in INFO.-> Rulebook.)

[h2]7.Presence[/h2]

Many coaches have mentioned that their heroes often don’t target enemy backline heroes in battle. This is because of the "presence" attribute, which affects the likelihood of a hero being selected as the target of an attack.

The formula for determining whether a hero is chosen as the target is:
Probability = Hero’s presence / Total presence of all participating units on the player’s side.

(Note: Some heroes' abilities, like Xiangxi Ke and Nihil, also affect target selection.)

Don’t worry! There’s no cheating with the AI. Both sides use this formula to determine who gets attacked.

(Note: If coaches want their heroes to prioritize attacking low-health enemies, they can adjust the setting in the save load screen by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner of the save slot and turning on the "Increase presence for low-health units" option under "Battle Details.")


[h2]8.AI’s Long Turns[/h2]

Some coaches have reported that the AI takes unusually long to make decisions, often choosing to end the turn after a long time or playing a "hot hand" after thinking for a while.

This happens because sometimes the AI has too many options to choose from, and it needs to go through the data to make a decision. It’s not intentional delay; the AI genuinely needs time to think.


[h2]9.AI Intelligence[/h2]

Other coaches have mentioned that the AI isn’t smart enough, sometimes making repetitive decisions.

This is a result of our balancing decision during AI design. If the AI were too smart or automated, it might create strange situations that don’t align with players' expectations. For example, in a MOBA game, there was a moment when an AI team bought a resurrection item after dying in the laning phase, which went against players' instincts.

Therefore, the AI’s actions are mostly based on the cards it holds. All AI decisions are influenced by the hand it has, ensuring its behavior stays strong yet understandable.

Hello, Coaches, this is Moto.



The new version of Esports Godfather has been live for some time now. Thank you all for playing and providing your valuable suggestions and feedback. We’ve been collecting your feedback and addressing the issues as quickly as possible. Recently, we noticed that most of the feedback revolves around the "Economic System" and "Venue Construction." Admittedly, the venue system does have several problems, and we are actively working on adjustments and fixes. At the same time, I will provide centralized answers and explanations for the key concerns raised by everyone.

[h2]Part 1: About Venues and Revenue[/h2]


The intention behind designing the venue system was to create a "black box" gameplay mechanic, allowing coaches to freely experiment and find the optimal arrangement that suits their style during the game. However, due to a lack of guidance, compounded by unreasonable economic system design, the current venue system has led to a poor experience for many of you. For this, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

We have now redesigned the economic curve and comprehensively adjusted the players' market values and salaries. In the current version, coaches should no longer feel so financially constrained, and you won't be forced to part ways with your old team members anymore. (The designer responsible for this issue, “Planner XQ,” has been seriously dealt with.)

Regarding the lack of guidance in the venue system, we are actively working on improvements. In the meantime, let me provide a detailed explanation of the "Venue Construction" gameplay and its features:

In general, "Venue Construction" is a key method for coaches to improve their club’s revenue. In this system, coaches can expand the venue, improve its facilities, set ticket prices, and attract fans to purchase tickets for home matches.

Coaches can upgrade their club's venue to accommodate more fans and facilities. Within the venue, you can decide how to arrange these facilities to balance meeting fan expectations while leaving sufficient space for additional seating. Coaches can also decide how to set ticket prices. To assist in decision-making, the club's assistants have prepared key parameters reflecting fan reactions to the venue and ticket prices. Understanding and applying these parameters will require coaches to experiment and refine their strategies.

Unfortunately, we cannot disclose the exact relationship between these parameters as they involve the core gameplay of this system. However, I can introduce some key attributes of the venue and their main impacts:

Spectator Quality and Environment Quality: These attributes determine whether fans are willing to visit the venue. Coaches can improve these aspects by placing different facilities.

Fan Groups: Fans are divided into ten distinct groups, each with its average economic strength and venue expectations. For example, student groups may prefer economical viewing areas, while higher-income groups may have higher expectations for venue quality.

Venue Size: This determines the upper limit of seating and audience capacity. Each seating area and facility occupies different amounts of space. Coaches can opt to prioritize seating over facilities to maximize capacity, but fans may pay less as a result. Conversely, a luxurious seating area with fewer seats may command higher ticket prices.

[h2]Part 2: Addressing Temporary Financial Problems[/h2]


Among the feedback we received from coaches, a frequent issue raised is the financial strain during club operations—whether it’s struggling to pay player salaries or hesitating to sign favored players during the transfer window due to budget concerns.

We take this issue seriously and have designed a new system to address it.

This system, tentatively named "Golden Eagle Infinite Loan", serves as an emergency financial assistance feature. Coaches can use this system to borrow funds when experiencing cash flow issues, such as being unable to pay player salaries. These loans can then be gradually repaid once the financial pressure eases. (Rest assured, this loan system won’t accumulate debt to the point where it becomes unmanageable.)

(Note: The loan system has been fully designed and is currently being implemented. It will be available soon. A detailed introduction to this system will be provided in the corresponding update announcement.)

[h2]Part 3: Planner XQ’s Remarks on the New Version[/h2]


Hello, Coaches. I’m Planner XQ.



Recently, the venue and economic systems I was responsible for designing have negatively impacted your gameplay experience. I sincerely apologize for this. Through various feedback channels, I’ve received numerous suggestions and deeply reflect on the flaws in my design. Based on the feedback, I’ve worked to improve and refine the system.

On the Venue System:

Initially, we envisioned the venue system as a "black box simulation mini-game" where adjustments to various parameters would yield different outcomes. Players would identify patterns through a feedback loop: Adjust → Get results → Adjust further → Refine results. However, testing revealed several issues:

Data Display Issues:

The configuration page lacked clarity, making it difficult to understand data and its meaning. This left players without a reference point. Early versions merely listed intermediate values from calculations, which were abstract and confusing. To address this, we optimized the data to make it more practical. For example, "Expected Ticket Price" was derived from "Support Value," giving coaches a tangible reference for setting ticket prices.

Lack of Feedback Prompts:

Previously, adjustments to ticket prices and facilities would result in some metrics increasing and others decreasing, with no clear indication of fan reactions. We added displays showing fan satisfaction with venue attributes, enabling better judgment during configuration.

Insufficient Feedback on Results:

The venue settlement page lacked analysis and actionable insights. To address this, we introduced evaluations (e.g., "Most Lively Ever!") based on key metrics like attendance rates and unseated fans. This feedback encourages players by highlighting their achievements and guides further optimization.

On the Economic System:

Initially, I aimed to regulate player strength by limiting resources, preventing players from purchasing high-value players outright and rendering talent development meaningless. However, issues arose due to insufficient testing:

Discrepancies in Player Value and Economic Curve:

Poorly calibrated values left players struggling financially, especially during the first transfer period. This caused situations where coaches couldn’t retain their original five players. After collecting data from coaches, I adjusted player market values and the economic curve accordingly.

Lack of a Safety Net:

Coaches were forced to abandon players due to financial difficulties, leading to a negative feedback loop. To prevent this, we introduced the loan system, enabling coaches to temporarily borrow funds and avoid painful decisions.

Lastly, I’d like to sincerely apologize again and thank all coaches for your valuable feedback. I will continue listening to your suggestions to improve the venue and economic systems. If you have any questions or ideas regarding these systems, feel free to contact me:
