# Dramatic High School Baseball Simulation: Foster Unique Players!

Game Outline

As a lifelong fan of baseball games, I've crafted a high school baseball simulation that encapsulates the excitement and drama of the sport, inspired by the unique protagonists found in baseball comics. Our goal is to develop players with distinct personalities and skills, ensuring a balanced gameplay experience across hitting, defense, and power.

Imagine hitting a game-winning home run, accompanied by thrilling background music and iconic lines that elevate the moment. This game brings that vision to life. As the manager of a high school baseball team, your mission is to nurture players with unique traits—such as pitchers who excel at fastballs but struggle with control or change-ups—and lead them to victory in the prefectural and Koshien tournaments, ultimately aiming for the national championship.

This "dramatic high school baseball simulation" is designed for those who relish strategic and developmental gameplay, free from any gacha elements.

How to Play

Guide your players' development through tailored practice sessions. Fielders can focus on enhancing their meat, power, running ability, defensive skills, and intelligence, while pitchers can work on their fastball, changeable ball, control ball, and stamina. Craft a development plan that aligns with each player's unique personality.

Our players are brimming with individuality, leading to intense and memorable episodes during their growth. Witness a genius pitcher overcome the yips to master checking first base, or see a novice player with all G-rated abilities rise to become a regular starter by focusing solely on hitting.

The game's balance has been meticulously adjusted based on user feedback during development, ensuring no single strategy guarantees victory. Your challenge is to discover your own path to success and build a team of distinctive personalities.

Practice progresses monthly, with Koshien qualifiers held in July and September. Winning these qualifiers earns your team a spot in the prestigious Koshien tournament.

Before each game, set your starting lineup and batting order. During the game, take on the role of coach and direct tactics such as bunting, stealing bases, squeeze plays, end runs, and gamble starts. Tactical decisions can be influenced by the presence of runners on base, allowing for nuanced strategies that reflect the intricacies of baseball.

To enhance the visual experience, we've included animations for batted ball processing and defensive coordination. In critical moments, your teammates' enthusiastic cheers and dramatic cut-ins add to the excitement.

Given the high school setting, senior players retire after the summer tournament. We're also planning to introduce a "User Koshien" feature (not yet available in the current version), where users can compete in tournaments with their teams, preserving data just before the third-year students retire. An official User Koshien tournament is also in the works.
