Sports Story Version 1.0.5 Is Now Live, Here's What's Included

It's kind of a bad look for them to spend this much effort to remove what was clearly a fun way for the developers to vent

How about just remake the game but good?

I don't understand the updates to the Secret Dev Room. How can it be 80% removed and restored at the same time?

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it fixes the game from being bad.

@LinktotheFuture We’ll have to wait and see.

Everything relating to the Secret Dev Room is very tongue-in-cheek, so it’s probably not worth trying too hard to understand. It’s ultimately a deeply buried meta-joke a rather than something to be taken literally.

We should know what has actually happened once the patch drops.

Well, a fair share of general fixes, although the dev room still threatens to nurture a meme about priorities.😅 Especially when it's listed first and the rest is labeled as "misc".

Eh, got my money back on this one. Just wasn't that fun, and couldn't finish the game anyway due to a bug.

This went from a must buy to a never buy for me so fast.

It feels like their efforts to stamp out the dev room are just helping broadcast its existence and contents to more people.

I just hope that once the physical is announced they have fixed this game, they should not of rushed it.
Also I LOVE that they can't find a way to get rid of the Dev Room

i kind of think it's a joke, the last update seemed tongue in cheek, including notes on it ain't something you'd think to do if ya wanna bury it and saying something is 80% removed or hard to remove doesn't make sense to me.

I say just improve the game and forget the dev room. What does it matter?

The fact they are more worried about a dev room than the game tells it’s own story.

Colossal disappointment.

How has it come to to this? How?! Why?! Unfortunately I can’t see Sidebar Games ever recovering from this shambles. I still haven’t started my copy of the game. I’m waiting for some major updates that improve the story progression/cohesion. I’m fearful to start atm

I'm glad they're fixing all this before announcing a physical version. Hopefully the physical version will help them redeem themselves.

of course, THIS is the game I decided to buy day 1. 😐

I honestly believe that this Dev Room arc is being done on purpose. It’s like developers talking about horrible work conditions, and then being shut up by their higher-ups. It can be seen as a critique and parody of the situations we are seeing with major companies today. Of course, I could be completely wrong, and this was just something an employee snuck into the game without anyone else noticing.

Ironically, this is more interesting than the game itself.

Not good news. Devs say its hard to remove, so they put time and effort into removing it instead of, you know, FIXING THE GAME? Waste of time and pretty much answers the question of if we're going to get a decent game or not. Really disappointed I threw down the cash on day one expecting to get Golf Story caliber quality.
Sidebar, if you folks hope to continue developing games, you need to fix this mess. Losing a lot of fans here.

@Bobb I'm in the same boat. Bought the game day one and haven't fired it up yet. I refuse to put time into this garbage until its fixed. You could say who cares, they got my money anyway, but they sure won't be getting any more!

So when are they going to add the best game from Wii Sports Resort, Disc Golf?

Are you all serious? Don't you understand that the dev room thing is a joke? Come on.

@Discokuningas

who are you talking to and what are you getting at? 🤔

Yeah, to me this whole thing is starting to feel more and more like a joke by the devs themselves. Unfortunately, the game being broken makes the joke in poor taste.

@Mz3player I'd disagree. I think its sincere, the dev room being partially fixed/removed thing comes off as a different person trying to remove it than the person who added it in the first place.

So either the staff who added it is long gone or they refuse to remove it. Leading to someone (project lead) who is embarrassed about its presence attempting to remove it without actually knowing how to get rid of it without breaking the game.

Considering the last update was just changing the dialogue , which would be the easiest thing to change without any knowledge of the game programming.

Mmm why oh why didn’t they jus delay the game makes me sad xx

Yes, clearly a joke, but it comes across kinda tone-deaf now that the game has so many actual issues.

What’s the point of a “secret dev room” if it’s being constantly changed/removed

In my switch news wessioj they had an article about sports story too. Seemed like thet were taking the piss

RIP to this game. Been 9 months since their "patch" and radio silence online. GG
