Custom matches planned?

[altairian]

This is a cool game but the lack of custom matches right now is really hurting any chance for it to grow as a competitive game. Have the devs said anything about plans for adding the feature? Haven't been able to find any kind of roadmap or anything =\

Nobody's talking about becoming an esport. The game is inherently "competitive" because it is a multiplayer focused game. Games with multiplayer focus really need the basic features for players who want to play it more competitively or they're going to move away from the game. Custom matches are pretty critical for people being able to play your game at a higher level, through playing with friends and experimenting, and setting up games against players of high skill level.

You want to retain players? You need to give them something to play for. You want to grow your community? You need to give your players ways to show your game off. This game is literally built for competitive play, and has none of the features players who want to play it competitively actually want. It's kind of a shame.

People want custom matches and competitive mode and lobby options for more gamplay choice. Game can have these and not be esport. Gameplay is great. Playerbase problems could kill game.
