Happy Fri-yay, DeRacers! Join us as we dive into the latest developments and improvements made by DeRace team this week 🚀🏇
🍬 Sugar Cubes utility expansion
In response to community feedback, we are currently revising the pricing model for the new buying spins for Sugar Cubes feature.
By analyzing user feedback, we aim to set prices that encourage participation while preserving the value of earned and spent Sugar Cubes as well as the value of the Spin-the-Wheel prizes.
As we refine the spin prices, we remain committed to transparency and fairness. We continue to listen to our community and are prepared to make further adjustments to ensure that the Sugar Cubes continue to offer meaningful benefits to our players. These efforts are crucial for maintaining a balanced and dynamic game economy that rewards player involvement.
🎮 Race Control Centre
This week, we’ve updated the Race Control Centre to better extract and analyze tournament results. While this tool is primarily used internally by our team, it plays a crucial role in gathering comprehensive data about race events and player interactions.
By improving the functionality of the Race Control Centre, we can efficiently collect and process information, which is essential for making informed decisions about game adjustments and future updates. This enables us to identify trends, predict player needs, and tailor our updates to enhance the gaming experience.
Moreover, with this update we can also dive into Tournament data over specified durations, which helps us find tournament participants and their wallet addresses faster.
🏇 Race Intro
Our team has revisited the Race Intro feature. More specifically, we’ve been testing and refining this feature.
Testing and polishing this feature is important to deliver a compelling first impression of each race. This week’s efforts have been gathered towards optimizing performance across various devices, ensuring that all players can enjoy a seamless introduction to each race. Technical improvements also include smooth transitions and ensuring data accuracy in the display of horse stats.
The Race Intro serves as a critical touchpoint for engaging our users, setting the tone for the immersive experience that follows. It’s designed to build anticipation and excitement right before the action unfolds, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the game.
📈 Database optimisation
Continuing our commitment to providing a smooth and responsive gaming experience, this week we have initiated another round of database optimizations. By refining our database architecture and optimizing queries, we aim to ensure that game interactions remain fluid and responsive, even as our user base grows.
The optimizations involve implementing more efficient indexing, which speeds up data access, and cleaning up redundant data that can slow down operations. These database improvements help in managing the larger datasets resulting from increased player activities and more complex race scenarios. By enhancing our database systems, we ensure that all game functions from leaderboard updates to race results generation are handled swiftly and accurately, providing a better experience for our players.
