Another week has passed by and it’s time for the weekly DeRace development update!

So without further ado, let’s dive into the latest accomplishments made by the DeRace team 🤩

🎮 Free Trial Mode

In our quest to make DeRace more accessible and welcoming to new players, we’ve started the process of crafting an activity guide for the Free Trial Mode. This step is fundamental in laying out the visual and navigational structure of the trial experience, ensuring potential players can explore the DeRace universe in an intuitive and engaging way.

The creation of wireframes involves detailed planning and design, focusing on user interaction, flow, and overall experience. Our goal is to design a Free Trial Mode that encapsulates the essence of DeRace, encouraging new players to dive deeper into the game, and making new player onboarding seamless.

By carefully crafting this introductory experience, we’re setting the stage for future players to discover the excitement of virtual horse racing in the DeRace metaverse. This development reflects our commitment to growing the DeRace community and ensuring that the game remains at the forefront of the GameFi space.

✨ Enhanced DeRace platform

In our continuous effort to improve the DeRace user experience, we’ve implemented a series of updates this week.

Players will now notice an indicator for tournaments when there’s an event available for registration, ensuring you never miss out on the action. We’ve also refined the notification system.

Additionally, the “My Notifications” section now prioritizes the invitations tab, streamlining user navigation. The notification popup will now focus more on the invites to races rather than mission completions. These updates, along with some naming changes, are part of our ongoing commitment to make DeRace more user-friendly and intuitive.

By fine-tuning these aspects of our platform, we aim to ensure that players can easily navigate the game, and don’t miss any important notifications and/or invitations to races. These changes are based on player feedback and our dedication to providing an environment that is both functional and enjoyable.

🏆 Auto-generated Tournaments

We’re happy to announce the launch of Auto-generated Tournaments in DeRace, marking a significant milestone in our mission to provide continuous, dynamic competition within our ecosystem. This week saw the introduction of a new feature that allows for the automatic generation of weekly and monthly tournaments across three different surfaces, enriching the gameplay.

The implementation of automated tournaments required the efforts from our awesome dev team to ensure a seamless integration into our existing system. The technical architecture behind this feature was designed with scalability in mind, allowing us to host a variety of tournaments that cater to different player strategies and preferences.

This development is a game-changer for our community, providing a constant stream of racing events that promise to keep the competition fierce and the rewards enticing. By automating tournament creation, we’ve opened the door to a more inclusive and dynamic competitive landscape.

First Auto-generated Tournament already live on DeRace platform

From now on, players can find 3 tournaments every week on different surfaces and track lengths. Join thrilling auto-generated tournaments with juicy rewards here 👉 https://derace.com/tournaments

👥 Teams/Clubs

This week, we engaged in valuable discussions with our community, including DeRacers, to gather insights on the needs and expectations for the Teams/Clubs feature.

These conversations are crucial for aligning our development goals with the desires of our players, ensuring that the features are actively used by the community. The feedback collected from these discussions will directly influence the design and functionality of the teams/clubs feature, making it a truly community-driven aspect of DeRace.

Understanding community expectations allows us to tailor the Teams/Clubs feature to support the ways players want to interact, compete, and grow together within DeRace. As we move forward with incorporating this feedback into our development process, we’re excited to see how the Teams/Clubs feature will turn out.
