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…
- Supplemental Notes Regarding the Launch and Future Plans - 1 May 2026
(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 wo…

We invite everyone to download it and give it a try!Regarding the DEMO Release TimeInitially, I planned to have the demo ready before the Steam Next Fest (Feb 24).My first candidate for the date was the preceding Friday, February 20. However, I realized that day marks the start of the "Steam Horse Fest." It felt a bit... off to launch a baseball game demo in the middle of a horse event. I spent a long time frowning and brooding over this.Suddenly, inspiration struck! I pointed my index finger to the sky, a look of pure wisdom shining in my eyes."What about the Friday before that (Feb 13)?" Since there are media preview events happening that…

- Dev Log 004 - 26 December 2025
(The following content is provided by AI translation. If there are any discrepancies, the Chinese version shall prevail.)Hello everyone!Since the Steam store page was approved and our first log was published on December 2nd, the game has made significant progress. I’ve organized the latest updates in this log!Steam Next Fest RegistrationInitially, I wasn't particularly keen on the February Next Fest, as I wasn't sure I could provide a playable demo by late January.However, after completing the last major system—the Lineup System—on the 15th of this month, my confidence surged. In short, if everything goes smoothly and meets my expectations, the game will participate in the Steam Next Fest starting February 24, 2026!

- Dev Log 003 - 8 December 2025
(Please note: The following text was translated with AI assistance. For full accuracy, please refer to the original Chinese announcement.)Hello everyone!This is still a log from the early stages of development. Sharing these thoughts is purely a personal interest of mine!The Process of Developing a Baseball GameBack in high school, I got into a well-known Japanese baseball game series (the one with the Q-style, bobble-head characters), starting with the titles on handheld consoles. It was one of the few games that could keep me hooked for months on end; I'd even occasionally pick it up and play years later.Because of that, I was deeply impressed by baseball-themed games, especially the player development system in that particular series. Whenever I was designing games, I often wanted to incorporate that kind of character progression. Most of those proposals were shot down, though.Anyway…
- Devlog #002 - 3 December 2025
(Please note: The following text was translated with AI assistance. For full accuracy, please refer to the original Chinese announcement.)Hello everyone!A few days after the store page went live, I realized there are a few things I need to clarify.Regarding Languages Other Than ChineseThis is a game driven by its story (as you explore memories and uncover the truth), where you plan the use of action points to scout for players, train them, and proceed through text-based baseball matches.Because the narrative takes up a significant portion of the game, the quality of localization will heavily impact the experience. However, from the very beginning of development until now, I have not planned to commission or collaborate with professional translators for different languages.Despite this, I am aware that baseball is a popular sport in many countries, including those in Asia and North Ameri…
- 棒球觀測者－開發日誌001 - 2 December 2025
你好！我是一名之前在遊戲業裡，擔任遊戲企劃的工作者。因為一些緣故，我從固定的辦公室工作離開，在2025年的3月開始，嘗試使用AI撰寫程式碼與藝術繪圖，開始製作自己的第一款遊戲【棒球觀測者（Baseball Scouter）】。這是一款大部分內容都有AI協助，才能完成的作品。歡迎任何對 模擬+自動棒球比賽類的遊戲 感興趣的人添加願望清單！開發日誌001：因為遊戲還沒完成，關於遊戲內容還沒有太多能聊的地方，基本上您看到的遊戲商店介面截圖、影片內容，已經是這個時間點我完成的全部了。包括在影片中我刻意滑掉的地方，就表示未完成。所以我會先聊一些我在開發這款遊戲之前的前因後果，如果您對這個故事感興趣的話。我之前是一名遊戲業從業者，職位是遊戲企劃，工作是撰寫遊戲的流程、規劃文件、初期預想UI排版等內容。在這個行業我工作了10年前後，但並不是完整的10年，我離職過多次，甚至也有離職又復職的狀況過，換過多個公司、團隊。在遊戲業工作的過程中，我經常充滿熱情地去提案，或主動做些甚麼。可沒過多久，情緒就變得陰晴不定，並且不再像初期那麼有動力。而這種情緒不穩定的狀態，甚至足以使我身體出現一些狀況。在相似的事情發生多次以後，我覺得自己是一個很討厭的人，因為我總是會給信任我而將工作交給我的人，造成麻煩。我會想要離職，但是真的離職了，卻又沒離開業界。到了第三間公司時，我覺得這是我待過的、條件對我而言相當不錯的公司。但我最後也爆發了情緒問題。到了25年的3月時，我又離職了，這是我頭一次感覺到甚麼叫做＂中年危機＂，情緒無法穩定下來的這件事情，使我感覺自己就像一個未爆彈，也對合作開發遊戲感到害怕。我在一個不好的時機點跟年齡選擇離職。但我正好碰上一個AI飛速發展的時代，並在嘗試之後，感覺到獨自完成遊戲的可能性。於是當時，我給自己一年的時間為期限，嘗試做一款遊戲。我自認如果是規模不大的遊戲，應該能在八、九個月完成，剩餘的時間做宣發或是完善內容。這是個看起來很美好的計畫。從開始做遊戲的那天記起，我花了125天，規劃了7個不同的遊戲，就叫它專案A～G吧。在每一個遊戲開始規劃的時候，我都覺得這遊戲很棒、規模不大、而…
