  Baseball Scouter v1.0.2

  (The following content is provided by AI translation. In case of any discrepancies, please refer to the Traditional Chinese version.)Adjustment ItemsFixed an issue where gaps would appear in the batting order when the pitcher was not in the 9th spot and was moved by other mechanics.Fixed an error where swapping a pitcher with another defensive position could incorrectly replace Active starting pitchers (Starters 1-5), leading to system issues.Added story segments 1 through 14 for "Release" to the All Stories (Gallery) menu.Developer’s NoteMy sincerest apologies. During final testing, I overlooked the special logic required for pitchers in the batting order, and as a result, did not perform sufficient testing for these specific scenarios.The issues leading to missing spots in the batting order occurred during scenarios including, but not limited to: Active/Farm roster swaps, story-driven player removals (primarily the "Northward Guard" bet), and automatic adjustments at the end of a week.Additionally, this issue was one of the primary reasons some players experienced crashes or errors when attempting to enter a match (as the game cannot start with an incomplete batting order).I have now implemented a fix and conducted further testing, so the issue should be resolved. However, if you encounter any further problems, please do not hesitate to report them to me, and I will fix them as soon as possible.Thank you for your patience and for playing.

  Baseball Scouter v1.0.1

  (The following content is provided by AI translation. In case of any discrepancies, please refer to the Traditional Chinese version.)Adjustment ItemsAdded a manual save button within the Settings menu.Players can now manually save once per week in-game.The maximum number of save slots has been increased from 10 to 20.Fixed an issue where item information would remain on screen if the Esc key was pressed while hovering over an item in the Event or Data-Item interfaces.Fixed a phrasing error in a specific line during Mercury's final story segment.Developer’s Note on Manual SavingThis game was originally designed to discourage a "save-loading" playstyle. My hope was for players to keep pushing forward even if a match is lost or training doesn't reach its maximum value. For this reason, the game initially only featured an auto-save function.However, during my own playtesting, I encountered a frustrating situation. I already knew the events for the coming week, but I accidentally clicked the wrong option during the opening event. Because of that one mistake, I had to redo all my actions from the entire previous week. It was a very discouraging experience.Based on these conflicting thoughts, I originally chose to stick with full auto-saving before the game’s launch. I felt that manual saving might tempt players to constantly reload to "min-max" training results or specific player scouts—a way of playing that I feel isn't very fun and goes against the game's intent.But while fixing the Event UI bug, I had a sudden inspiration: by limiting manual saves to once per week, I could protect the hard work of dedicated players while still discouraging excessive "save-scumming" for random outcomes. So, I decided to add the feature.That’s the gist of it. I am not a developer who wants to lecture players on "the right way to play." It’s more that I wasn't sure which approach was better, so I’m trying this middle ground first. If there is consistent feedback from players and the reaso...

  Supplemental Notes Regarding the Launch and Future Plans

  (The following content is provided by AI translation. If there are any discrepancies, please refer to the Traditional Chinese version.)Hello everyone. Since the launch, I have been very grateful for the reviews and feedback provided by our players. However, I have noticed that some players are expecting continuous content updates for Baseball Scouter. I believe it is necessary to clarify my position on this matter.【Post-Launch Plans】 I will continue to monitor the game for any bugs or issues that may arise.However, in the short term (over the next few years), adding new content—such as new characters or new game modes—is not part of my primary plan.This is not to say that I am "abandoning" the project. As a solo developer, the only situation that would resemble abandonment is if my real-life circumstances required me to seek employment outside of independent game development.Below, I would like to share some data and explain the reasoning behind my decisions.【Performance Data】 I am not entirely sure what benchmarks a game must reach to be recommended by Steam (such as appearing on the "New & Trending" or "Popular Upcoming" lists). However, subjectively speaking, in terms of Steam's algorithm, Baseball Scouter has likely not reached a "passing" grade.Before launch, the "Unique Impressions" shown in the backend were below 10,000. This is a result of my own marketing strategy and skill level. Using that number as a baseline, both the "Wishlist" conversion and the number of players who "Downloaded and Launched the DEMO" were under 10%.To me, this percentage suggests that while people may be interested in the baseball theme, the story description, or the title, the specific information and content I provided did not appeal to the majority of those who visited the store page.I must add that this performance is entirely due to my own limitations in development and marketing. I am not sharing this to be negative, but to be transparent about the game's current status so that...
