What we’ve been up to for the last month
In case you missed it, last month we opened the alpha version of our app to our pre-sale participants. They have been feverishly testing, finding bugs, edge cases, and providing some incredible feedback.
There are three community members whose contributions really stood out and that we would like to acknowledge and thank for their time and effort; Angel and phABC from our Discord community and Colourbit from our weChat community. You guys seriously rock! Your feedback is going a long way to helping make this project a success.
Alpha Dev
We work in sprints and are in the process of getting the platform ready for the 5v5 queue and tournament play modes. For example, in the current sprint Zack has finished the user-profile back-end and is now implementing the backend of our teams feature, while Jernej and Anik are finalizing the user-profile front-end.
The other essential feature for playing with other players is of course chat! Luka is hard at work implementing and deploying the chat backend.
The product design team has been grinding away at our tournament specifications and designs, along with beginning to spec out the gamification elements of the platform.
For those of you currently using the alpha, it shouldn’t be too much longer until you start seeing some more changes to the app. We’ll roll out new features incrementally as they become ready. This first batch of features that extend the platform beyond 1v1 play are all somewhat interconnected, so there will be a bigger update followed by several smaller incremental updates from here on out.
