There’s also various other improvements. Full changelog as follows:
Added Club History page (at present only shows seasons that fit within the current competition setup, i.e. June Season and July Season)
Added Wage Cap. The Wage Cap for a club is equal to the Monthly Stadium Income
Manager Skills can no longer be Finalised if a club is exceeding their Wage Cap
Players (except those with zero wages) cannot be signed if doing so would cause a club to exceed their Wage Cap
For the August 2022 season only, the Wage Cap will instead be equal to 125% of the Monthly Stadium Income and Manager Skills can still be Finalised even if a club is exceeding their Wage Cap (to assist with adjusting to the change)
Financial Summary widget on finances and home layouts now contains Wage Bill and Wage Cap information
Balancing changes to player wages (general reduction in wage demands across the board, updated and applied immediately for July season finishing)
Players aged 16, 17 and 18 are no longer paid any wages
If a club is relegated, they now receive ‘Parachute Payments’. For the season immediately following the relegation their monthly stadium income and Wage Cap will both be equal to the amount they were in the division they were just relegated from
Loyalty Manager Skill reworked to no longer provide a wage discount to Academy Trial graduates and instead extend the contract length of the Academy Trial players who graduate at the end of the current season
Revenue Manager skill renamed to ‘Injection’ and rather than increasing daily revenue now instead provides an immediate one off cash injection payment received upon finalising the Manager Skills
Balancing changes to Manager Skill Prices to help with fairness and affordability of key popular skills. Level 1 skills are now generally cheaper. Level 3 skills are now generally more expensive
Changes to how affordability of purchasing scouting pool players and making auction bids works. Now all that matters is if you can afford the purchase price plus signing fee with your current balance, and that the wages of the player fit within the wage cap. In order to make multiple bids you must be able to afford all of them (both in terms of having the bank balance to pay for them and space within the Wage Cap to afford their wages)
Some Manager Skills are now recommended to new users and selected by default (they can change those recommended selections if they wish)

* Now we will launch (in the game) an event of 4-5 days, each time before the date specified in the description.
The old first person controller (player) has been replaced with a newer and better working first person controller. Furthermore the old input system has been replaced as well. This makes it a lot easier for future implementation for various controller devices such as game pads, joysticks etc. Likewise, Athemore is now open for possible console releases as well. In addition, we’ve added the possibility to rebind the controls within the game menu along with other option features, which can be read in the patch notes below. We wanted to focus on finishing these important tasks as mentioned above, because we will definitely be benefiting from our upcoming game releases as well.
We still have plenty of upcoming tasks for this game in our scope such as:
Do something about the complete darkness in the dungeon
Add some sort of player damage taken indication, such as pain voices and a screen indication.
Improve upon the overall AI
Add support for multiple languages
Fixing some minor issues
Patch notes for 1.3.0 (07-08-2022)
