Vouchers will continue to be a feature throughout the future of the game
SPS:
Ultimate goal is to motivate players to stake SPS
Players who stake SPS will receive many more benefits than those who don't going forward
Additional SPS rewards will be focused in the near-future
Scaling & Dev Work:
Game has been very stable lately
Continuing to expand the DevOps team to keep servers running smoothly
Other team members are being hired to continue feature development as well
Onboarding team members takes time though to get started
"Some of the new developers are much better than me" - Quoted by YabapMatt himself!
Goal is to have a much bigger team in the next 3 - 6 months to focus on all aspects of the game:
Backend
Security
Specific features: Rift Watchers, Land, etc...
Animation Effects + Enhanced Battle Gameplay
Other minor suggestions
Current focus for dev team:
Chaos Legion
First Phase Of Land Expansion
More SPS Features
Land 馃憖:
Team want's people excited about land location
Location will be as important as land rarity/type
All land plots will have a story within the Praetoria continent
Regions/Tracts will have all the plots connected
Regions will have a wide variety of all the land types
Most likely won't have every type of land
May be better to specialize in resource/s rather than get 1 of each type
Not every land plot will most likely require a summoner/monster to work on it
Animations 馃憖:
Team wants to include animations to game to elevate overall gameplay
Monsters will have idle animations at the start
May have an attacking animation and even a triumphant animation
Why Hive Blockchain?
Hive was created to be more user-friendly than most other blockchains
Choose your username for your wallet
Keys with different levels of permissions
Keys can be recovered if hacked/changed
Doesn't have any gas fees
Players aren't even required to stake Hive to recharge Resource Credits
Splinterlands delegates Hive to players when needed
Potions:
Still unsure about changing quest potion back to be bought with credits
The issue isn't with how it is bought, it is about the effect on players
Doesn't motivate players to climb higher leagues
Team has thoughts on new potions that may be introduced in the future
DEC prices for potions will probably be changed to be based on market price
Lore 馃憖:
Don't ignore the lore
Chaos Legion is going to bring all the lore together
May be advantages for players who know the lore versus those who don't
Security:
If keys are stolen/exposed, no other security measures will prevent asset losses
If active/master keys are kept secure, no assets will get stolen
2FA (Two Factor Authentication) won't help with keys are somehow stolen/exposed
