March has been a busy month here at DeRace, as we continue to refine and expand our platform to meet and exceed the expectations of our community. Let’s dive into the key highlights of what’s been accomplished and what’s on the horizon for our ecosystem.
Sugar Cubes utility expansion: sweetening the deal
The versatility and utility of Sugar Cubes have seen a significant boost this month, marking a significant milestone in enhancing the gameplay experience. We’ve introduced the feature allowing Sugar Cubes to reduce breeding cooldown times.
This means you don’t have to wait as long to breed your horses again, which is pretty handy. It not only enriches the in-game economy but also provides players with greater flexibility and control over their stables, ensuring a more engaging and rewarding gameplay loop.
And speaking of the future, we’re almost ready to show you another cool way to use Sugar Cubes. We’re keeping it a secret for now, but we can’t wait to share it with you in the upcoming weeks. It’s going to make playing with Sugar Cubes even more fun, offering players further avenues to leverage their Sugar Cubes in the game.
Teams/Clubs: creating a feature driven by community and for community
This month we enhanced the Teams/Clubs feature, particularly through the development of the ‘Team members’ page to provide team owners with robust tools for managing their teams. By focusing on creating a user-friendly interface that supports real-time updates, we’re laying the groundwork for additional functionalities.
We also engaged in discussions with our community about the future of the Teams/Clubs feature that has been invaluable for aligning our development goals with the desires of our players. These conversations have been important in ensuring that the Teams/Clubs feature resonates with our players.
The feedback gathered from our community discussions is actively guiding the expansion of the Teams/Clubs feature. By considering community-suggested features such as team racing events and team leaderboards, we’re working on a development plan that broadens the functionalities of Teams/Clubs.
In the upcoming months, we plan to incorporate community feedback, ensuring that Teams/Clubs evolve into a feature that not only meets but exceeds our players’ expectations, fostering a more connected and dynamic community within the DeRace metaverse.
NFT burn rates for Sugar Cubes: revamping game’s economy
We’ve been looking at the NFT burn rates for Sugar Cubes and decided to change things up to refine the game’s economic model and ensure the long-term viability and attractiveness of the burning mechanism. Our team is working to ensure that the mechanism remains a compelling option for players.
As we prepare to implement these new rates, our commitment to monitoring the economic ecosystem and making necessary adjustments underscores our dedication to ensuring a balanced, engaging, and rewarding experience for all players.
Looking forward, the adjusted burn rates are set to roll out in the near future. Our team is dedicated to closely observing the impacts of these changes on the game’s economy and player engagement, ready to make further tweaks as necessary.
Free Trial Mode: onboarding newcomers made easier
The development of Free Trial Mode is a significant leap towards making DeRace more accessible to new players. We aim to provide a compelling introduction to the game, allowing potential players to experience the thrill of DeRace without upfront commitments. This initiative is designed to lower the entry barriers to our game, potentially broadening our community by attracting a wider audience.
The visualization phase of Free Trial Mode brings the conceptualized user journey to life, creating an immersive and engaging entry point for new players. This phase is crucial for ensuring that the newcomers have a seamless introduction to the DeRace, showcasing the game’s features and mechanics in an accessible and enticing manner.
As we proceed with the inner-testing of Free Trial Mode, our focus is on refining and perfecting this introductory experience. This testing phase is critical for identifying and addressing any potential barriers to new player engagement, ensuring that the trial mode serves as an inviting gateway to the DeRace ecosystem.
Our goal with Free Trial Mode is not only to introduce newcomers to the game but also to convert their initial curiosity into long-term engagement.
Races: Elevating Competitive Engagement
The finalization of the Auto-generated Tournaments feature represents a groundbreaking development in DeRace, set to significantly enhance the competitive aspect of the game.
By automating the generation and scheduling of tournaments, we’re providing our players with continuous opportunities to compete and test their horses. This feature is designed to keep the game lively and engaging, offering a structured competitive framework that encourages ongoing participation.
Throughout March, we also looked to further enhance Equipment Races with additional prizes. Our aim is to amplify the excitement and stakes of this type of races. Expanding the reward pool is our way to boost participation and engagement in Equipment Races, providing players with more incentives to compete.
This development is poised to add another layer of depth and excitement to the DeRace experience, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to enriching the game’s competitive landscape and offering a more rewarding experience for our community.
