With the beginning of DERCember, another busy week has passed in a blur… Let’s check what the DeRace team has been up to so far! 🤩

🚀 System Efficiency Upgrade

This week marked a significant advancement in DeRace with the rollout of our System Efficiency Upgrade. This extensive codebase optimization is a game-changer, ensuring that both existing and future features on our test-net operate with enhanced efficiency.

The upgrade includes several key enhancements like UI element optimization for faster loading times and implementation of advanced SEO, improving user experience and game interaction.

Moreover, the upgrade introduces the ability to save past searches, adding a layer of personalization and convenience for our players. This allows users to easily revisit their favorite races, horses, or information, providing a more tailored experience. It also includes codebase element optimization, speeding up development processes and ensuring rapid deployment of new features.

Overall, these upgrades lead to a more fluid and responsive gaming experience for our players. Faster game performance leads to more dynamic races and interactions, keeping players engaged and invested in the game.

🤝 Partnership with EtherMail

In a significant move to enhance communication within our metaverse, we’ve teamed up with EtherMail.

We believe that this partnership enables us to deliver real-time updates directly into the wallets of our asset holders, offering anonymous and encrypted wallet-to-wallet interactions.

The collaboration kicks off with our first newsletter via EtherMail, where our community can now subscribe for exclusive updates, sneak peeks, and surprise rewards. You can subscribe to our newsletter here 👉 https://ethermail.io/community/derace

This initiative underlines our commitment to maintaining a direct, personalized connection with our community, dedication to transparency, decentralization, and community-driven innovation.

👥 Teams/clubs

Progress continues on the Teams/Clubs feature, with a focus on developing admission to the club functionality.

We’re creating an intuitive interface for applications and approvals, ensuring that joining a team or club is a smooth and straightforward process. A seamless admission process encourages more players to participate in team activities, leading to a more vibrant and interactive gaming community.

In addition to functionality, we’re also concentrating on the visual aspects of team and club admissions. The visual design is being crafted to be engaging and inviting, to not only enhance the user experience but also to make the process of joining teams more enjoyable.

🏇 Race Intro

Continuing from last week’s successful merge of the hippodrome overview with the horse and jockey close-ups, our focus this week was on testing the new Race Intro feature.

In-depth testing is being carried out to fine-tune the synchronization between the scenic views of the hippodrome and the detailed close-ups, ensuring a smooth and cohesive introduction. We’re paying close attention to the details, ensuring that each element of the intro accurately reflects the excitement and dynamics of the upcoming race.

By meticulously testing and adjusting every component, we’re committed to delivering an introduction that is perfectly balanced between aesthetic appeal and functional effectiveness. We’re excited to see how the Race Intro will bring a new level of immersion to the DeRace metaverse.
