As you may know the gotchiverse bible has been collecting dust for a while.
In line with having updates more frequently on gotchiverse bible, I’d like to request monthly release logs on gotchiverse development from PC. Part of the lore, it could be considered as monthly rituals/ceremonies, where gotchis come together and discuss the biblical events happening in gotchiverse before they become chapters in the bible. Note that this would be only for gotchiverse and gotchiverse related developments.
Why is this necessary?
On the new roadmap, gotchiverse has pretty big updates slated in 2023.
On more short term, we’re at the verge of having PvP with gotchi traits, wearables, new mechanics like fog of war, eye related additional traits and so on. There will be a lot of heated discussions, given this happens even in traditional games where real life money is not involved with asset ownership or monetary incentive leaderboards.
If you go into steam you would find indie game studios having released games in alpha phases where users are supporting the game development. Which release weekly/monthly updates introducing new mechanics, discussing potential balancing aspects and demonstrate where they are at with their roadmap. Doing so there’s the possibility to keep up with development, track changes, discuss and give feedback on a regular and orderly fashion.
Frankly, this has been lacking big time so far. There are updates being released on gotchiverse which briefly appears as wall of text when user logs in to gotchiverse and that’s pretty much it. There’s no document that clarifies mechanics of gameplay, stats of the gotchi impacting the arena. We have seen two versions of the arena with no way to track changes in between. Given the DAO will be the part of the game development, like any indie game studio does as part of crowd funded game development(which typically takes from 10 to 40 bucks with no asset ownership/token flavor of course) we need regular, detailed release logs for gotchiverse every month.
Imho, if we don’t constitute this soon before things further develop we will have major headache, frustration and highly inefficient discord complaints/personal attacks. The little pieces of positive feedback will be overlooked as several people will be writing on DAO discussion channel in heat.
In addition, another dedicated place to keep DAO feedback in focus, tidy and easy to track about gotchiverse is needed. Similar to DAO-forum in discord, I believe there needs to be gotchiverse-forum, where people can bring their feedback or issues to discuss related to gotchiverse. At the moment there is feature requests channel that can be a place for this, but since the channel can also be used for things like UI improvement in fakegotchis.com etc. that would be lackluster.
Lemme know what you guys think, cheers.
