Hey Mortals! 🌟
Welcome to Dev Diary where we give you a little peek into what’s happening behind the scenes. We've always been committed to transparency with our community, so we’re excited to share what we’ve been working on lately. Today, we’ll cover:
- Game Mode System Updates (aka Formats): Fresh changes to bring more variety and improvements to gameplay.
- The New Distribution System (aka The Factory): A streamlined system to enhance your experience.
- Game Improvements: Ongoing tweaks to make gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.
Let’s dive in!
#1 Game Mode System Updates (A.K.A. Formats)
The engineers have been working hard on improving the overall game mode formats system, expanding it from the current list of modes you have been enjoying. This update is critical in allowing Gods Unchained Game Designers to correctly implement exciting and engaging formats moving forward. So what’s changing:
- The Formats tooling has been re-configured to work with a new Payment System and Reward Distribution System (see #2 for more info)
- We have support for a new Format called Block Constructed (formerly referred to as Standard Mode)
- The legacy Daily Play & Earn system has had a code overhaul to enable direct interaction with existing formats and any new formats released in the future. More on this to come in a later update.👀
The engineers are really proud of the changes we have made to Formats over the last couple of months and are even more excited to get these changes into the hands of all you Mortals!
#2 The New Distribution System (A.K.A. The Factory)
At the start of the year the Gods Unchained Engineers identified a need for consolidating asset and token engagement history for all Mortals. Think of this as a central location to see all your Gods Unchained Factory Orders including reward pay-outs, Sealed payments, forge requests and crafting requests. So a new distribution system was born - The Factory.
The impact this has for the first release:
- Navigate to a single page to see your active, completed and cancelled orders
- Quickly view and interact with orders
- A new and improved Payment screen (replacing the original Link system)
This system will launch with initial support for Formats Buy-Ins (Sealed Mode) and Format reward pay-outs, with plans to expand it to the Forge, Crafting, Pack Sales, DPE and Staking in subsequent releases.
#3 Game Improvements
As always the Gods Unchained Engineers continue to squash bugs, optimise the code and continue to balance the system. We want to give a shout out to all Mortals who have submitted bugs reports and issues to our Customer Support team, we appreciate your time and effort and we will continue to improve the systems thanks to your support. Some improvements we have made include in the last fortnight:
- 3+ Card bugs fixed
- Multiple VFX issues resolved
- 2+ Breaking bugs resolved
- 6+ System tickets resolved
- Upcoming performance and optimisation tasks completed
And that’s a wrap for now! We hope you enjoyed these insights. We hope you have enjoyed the read and if some of the information seems lacking, that’s intentional! You may need to wait for future updates or upcoming releases to hear more!
Until next time, we salute you Mortals.
