Developer's Note - July 2021

Greetings Superstars!

This is Dev Nom from the Baseball Superstars Team.

Half of 2021 has passed, and the Summer season is finally here in July.

As you all know, a little bit of summer is what the whole year is all about.

Although there may be some harsh days in the heat and rainy season,

We wish you the best of July with full of luck and happiness!

We appreciate your support and love for the Baseball Superstars, and

we want to share upcoming updates and improvements coming in July 2021.

## July Update Preview

* Please note that they are still under development, and the details are subject to change without prior notice.

### **1) Bomb Escape (tentative name) Mini-game**

We are aware of the current gold economy where many users are experiencing difficulties due to the lack of gold sources.

We hope this new content will solve the gold shortage.

- The 'Bomb Escape' (tentative name) mini-game mode similar to DIA Home Run Champ is coming in July.

- Your mission is to survive the falling baseball bomb by evading and pushing the opponent into an explosion.

- Gold amount varies by the result of the mini-game.

### **2) Trainer Specific Gene System**

We plan to implement a new Trainer Gene system to make it easier to get the trainers you want.

- Genes for each trainer are added

- Collect 100 genes of a specific trainer, then convert to get the trainer.

※ UR / SSR / SR Trainer Specific Genes are available, but collaboration and the dual type trainers are unavailable.

- Trainer Genes can be purchased at the R-Point Shop (with the set condition), and we plan to add more sources near future.

### **3) New Costumes**

As we promised to release new costumes, they are expected to arrive in early July and will continue to be released regularly.

### 1. Planet League 'AUTO' mode improvement

We plan to improve the inconvenience of having to SKIP every time in [Planet League] - [Post Season]

- The AUTO mode, which was only available until the regular season, is also applied to 'Semi-Finals' and 'Finals'

- When AUTO is selected before the start of the semi-finals or finals, it will run in each mode.

※ AUTO function is not supported in the Championship match.

### 2. My Player - Scenario Navigation System

We confirm the inconvenience of having to scroll multiple times to select the desired scenaario in [My Player]

- Scenario 'Navigation' function is added in [My Player]

- By tapping the icons at the bottom of the scenario selection screen will go directly to the scenario.

### 3. Mechanic Steamboys Scenario Notification

We plan to improve the M.S. scenario so that a push notification is sent when the development is complete.

### **5) Baseball Superstars 600th Day Anniversary**

July 17th KST is the 600th day anniversary in Korea.

We plan to hold many events celebrating the 600th day anniversary.

We look forward to seeing you all!

## [Future Content]

* Please note that they are still under development, and the details are subject to change without prior notice.

First of all, we want to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to all superstars who provided us many suggestions and ideas to improve the Live Clash.

We are doing our best to make the content more interesting and exciting to play, and it may take some time in the process.

We are working diligently so that it will be available to all Superstars any time soon.

### **1. Ball Position Display when hitting**

We are aware of the difficulties in Live Clash after removing the impact point of the swing.

We plan to improve the hitting method of Live Clash as follows to lower the difficulty and to increase the excitement.

- A display that briefly shows the movement of the ball thrown by the pitcher is added

### **2. Happy Weekend Score Reset Period Change: 3 Weeks**

Due to the current weekly reset, we confirm that many users are feeling the pressure of having to raise the score on a weekly basis.

Also, many faced struggles by having to match with an opponent who has a higher Team OVR.

- The reset period for [Happy Weekend] is changed to 3 weeks.

- The reward for [Happy Weekend] is raised to the cumulative reward for the entire 3 weeks.

### **3. Baseball Game Improvement**

Even with the recent change to the inning count, we confirm that most matches are decided during the extra inning with bases loaded.

To relieve fatigue and to provide more excitement in Live Clash, we will change the system so that the match starts with bases loaded.

### **4. Matching System Improvement**

We will improve the match between users with a similar team OVR and skills by implementing the MMR score method to strengthen the current match-making system.

We plan to improve by providing a higher MMR score when you win against an opponent with a greater difference in Team OVR and deducting a lower MMR score when you lose.

Details regarding the matching system will be available through future update notes.

### **5. Hit Timing Meter**

We plan to implement the timing meter from [DIA Home Run Champ] in Live Clash to provide fun elements when hitting the ball.

[Perfect / Great / Bad, and ETC]

### **6. Season Tier Reward Revamp**

The current Season Tier Rewards are based on tier at the end of the season.

We understand the pressure and the intensity of Live Clash due to this matter.

Therefore, we will improve so that you can obtain rewards based on the highest rank achieved during the season.

Our Team will continue to listen to the community and strive to provide a good gaming experience.

Thank you, and we will return with the next devs note near future.
