Hey everyone!
In the last Dev Update we asked how often you’d like to see these moving forward. ‘Every second week’ was the majority vote, so that’s what we’re going with into the future.
We’ve mostly been bunkered down over the past couple of weeks working on a whole stack of new features for the upcoming Trial of the Gods expansion, but have also been working adjacently on the 0.22 version release which came out yesterday!
Here’s just some of the highlights that we’ve been working on over the past two weeks:
As mentioned above, we recently launched Update 0.22 which included not just one, but TWO new free boards for you to use in-game: the new Arena Board + Midnight Temple version. We’ve added some new sparkly VFX to the timer river and also made some tweaks to mechanics such as Fatigue, Overdraw, and the order of operations in the ‘Cleanup Step’. As a final note, we also introduced 110+ bug fixes and connectivity improvements. If you haven’t checked it out yet, try clearing your cache on the launcher and see it in action for yourself!
We did a stream in conjunction with the 0.22 release. It may have included a couple of unexpected leaks and surprises for those who tuned in live… so check out the stream highlights to see more.
In regards to Genesis boards and trinkets, we’ve published a blog that should help to answer some of the commonly asked questions around minting and trading. In short, we’re still aiming on having all trinkets and Genesis boards being fully tradable by the launch of Trial of the Gods, if not sooner. Redistribution of Genesis Boards will be undertaken soon for those who had complications. There’s still some assets that will require further work before being implemented in-game, but we are working to get this done as a high priority.
We’ve been conducting final playtesting for Trial of the Gods, and have been fine-tuning the set to make sure everything feels great! We also put together a video featuring nine cards from the upcoming set, as voted by the community, showing them in action.
Our good friend and Team Mythic player, GGian, featured in the latest edition of the community-centric Play to Earn Profile series. If you’d like to be involved in future editions, reach out to the team at [email protected] or directly on Discord!
We’ve continued our work on integrating credit card payments for Season One.
In our ongoing efforts to streamline the support process, we’ve moved our help desk over to ZenDesk.
We’ve welcomed Elaine | QA Lead to the team. Come and say hello to them on our Discord server!
We’re on the lookout for a new Developer and Associate Producer to join us on Gods Unchained. Is this you? Get in touch with our hiring team if you have any questions.
Trello Board Updates:
As you may remember from last time, the ‘Hot Minutes’ are gone! In their place, we have a Trello board that will be updated on a regular basis to function as a roadmap of sorts. It’s not a complete list of everything we’re working on or have planned at any given time, so if there’s something specific you’d like to see then please let our team know.
As an overview of Trello Board changes since the last Dev Update:
Our first round of ‘Website Improvements’ have gone live! We’ve also added ‘Update 0.22’ and ‘Bug Fixing’ to the done column (though bug fixing is an ongoing process).
We’ve added ‘Assets Unlocked For Trading’ to Up Next as its own distinct point.
We’ve added ‘GU World Championship Plans Announced’, ‘Referral Program’, ‘Etherbots Redemption’, ‘Update 0.23’, and ‘Genesis Boards Visual Revamp’ to Q2.
You can check out the board in its entirety here.
As always, thank you so much for reading, and I’ll see you all in two weeks with even more updates to share.
