COMMUNICATION
Now that we have most of the big bugs solved and the Hive Migration done.
We are going to move the Roadmap updates to monthly (on the 1st of each month)
and change our Sunday Post to more of a Weekly recap / Upcoming week format.

If you don't think this is a good idea leave a comment.

S3 Attack
The big event this week was the attack and destruction of the AWS S3 image bucket the game was using. This caused us to re-examine some of our internal processes (it was not internal)
We lost some work, but since we had done it in the last 2 weeks, we were able to identify it quickly and fix it.

Next week:
SKINS are entering the game. The event will be run in discord like the breadcrumb-exchange event. We would love for it to be in game but the code is a bit behind and we don't want to delay you enjoying the new artwork any longer.
A portion of sales will go to dksart@dksart for his hard work.
All skins will be sold for BREAD!
Bread prices will go up on 7/8/2020.
[You can even get the "old epic skins"]

Game Changes:
Our Everything is Epic Event is currently running. I would say this is a big game change as it is shaking up the old "who has the best epic item" system.
I hope it is fun for players to Quest for these items.

ROADMAP:

#1 SEASON server build out
This is our top priority, it is right up there for us with the HIVE migration. This is a complete rewrite of the code base, to make things more efficient for us and the players.
It is also going to let us add all types of new things to the game.
After the upcoming SKINS event is over I will do a post about this.
HIGH PRIORITY !!! ACTIVE RESOURCES ASSIGNED

#2 Arena Reward System
This is in the final testing. (slowed due to a few team members getting very sick)
Hope to roll out in a few days. Still shooting for late 7/6/2020 but maybe pushed to 7/8/2020. I will know more tomorrow.
HIGH PRIORITY !!! ACTIVE RESOURCES ASSIGNED

#3 More Planned Events
While the Everything Epic Event is fun. I wish we had let players know about it earlier, but with the S3 attack having us redo artwork. We wanted to roll out skins and this event was designed to happen before skins.
Sorry for the lack of lead time. We will work on this.
MED PRIORITY !!! RESOURCES WILL BE ASSIGNED AS THEY ROLL OF 1ST MILESTONE

#4 Company Sustainability
We have managed to reduce our server costs this month. With an uptick in bread sales we lost a small amount during June.
Not too bad.
A few players gave us Brave Rewards (BAT Tokens) as tips. WE can't thank you enough for that. It really helps.

I want to continue to give a big thank you to all players for helping support HolyBread since its inception, without you we would not have this great opportunity.

I hope this addresses some of the issues you have and gives you an idea of where the Team wants to take HolyBread.
Is anyone interested in posts on the following topics:
-Game design : where are we going and what is the thought process behind it (Theory and Technical)
-In Game Economy : what is our current issue and strategies to fix
- State of the Game : Goal for the game & company. [answering the question. : are you profitable/stable]

Our goal is to be as transparent as possible with everyone. We may not always agree, but we always listen and appreciate the feedback!
