Modern/Wild Phase 1 has been moved infront of the Tech Modernization
- Currently testing internally
- ETA for Modern/Wild release should be around end of July or early August

Team is working with another game studio to build a new game on the Splinterlands platform
- Studio will be attending future townhalls and request community feedback for the new game design/concepts
- Studio will be doing all the development; Splinterlands will be supporting via Splinterlands blockchain platform
Team loves the ideal of giving Splinterlands assets more utility by possibly integrating them into other games
- Not official as details are being worked out with the studio, but that is the team's goal
More information should be released in the next few weeks

Creative team is actively working on bringing assets to life with 3D and animations
- However, team is being cautious as 3D and animations take up a lot of resources
- Team is innovating different ways to bring the game to life through your browser
Team is on the final stages for the Wild badges (See Eye Candy)
- Wanted to apply a sense of magic into the Wild badges style

SnapChat ads are starting this week
Google ads have been unpaused and should be continuing
Team is working on a website for Splinterfest
- Should have more information on this in the next week or two
Security team has removed 200+ social media accounts that were trying to impersonate the team and profiles

Brawl Townhall happening Friday, June 24th at 5PM EST
- Preliminary Question Form
Team plans on Modern/Wild having a big impact on Tournaments and participation

Stream team is up to 53 streamers now!
Watching the stream on Splinterlands TV rewards you with points that you can redeem for a variety of things:
- Two shoutouts to the awesome viewers of oL0RDo and jmpards3!
Stream team has a weekly streamer spotlight where there are Chaos Legion pack giveaways

Roadmap V3 has been officially released (See Roadmap section above)
Non-Card market should come after Modern/Wild is released
- Modern/Wild is estimated for end of July/early August

Land workers will basically be staked on Land to work it, they won't be burned
Nate's vision - Enter building and view your worker spots and an artifact spot
- Artifact spot will allow totems to be used on the plot
- Totems will provide some type of boost to the plot
Land is expected to be integrated in the mobile app, but it will take some time after it is released via desktop
Land rarity and type will be completely random (RNG)
- Meaning there won't be fixed supply caps on rarities or types of Land

New ranked rewards system is still actively being analyzed by the team for improvements
- To reiterate, goal of the Ranked Reward system is to increase the ROI as you climb to higher leagues
- Also, team is always looking to make card assets more valuable by giving them more utility
Currently, majority of players make up the lowest leagues (Bronze/Silver)
- This is very common within all games
- This is a big reason why the game rewards players at higher levels to try to incentivize more players to invest for the higher earnings
Current changes under consideration:
- Season rating reset
- Daily focus and expanding to more focuses
- RShare formula and starter card reductions

Splinterfest ticket prices should be finalized and released in the next couple of days
- Team plans on allowing DEC/SPS to be used to buy tickets
Other group accomodations should be released once finalized too
