Updates
April 4, 2015 - Updates | |
First off, I would like to offer our sincerest apologies to all Rescreatu users who have put up with the lack of updates and communication leaving our beloved users in the dark. Thank you for sticking around through the rough patches because very soon it will be well worth the wait. I am very
excited to tell you that Patrick has completed the foundation of V4 coding. Also,
developments of the main site components such as the hatchery, user shops,
forums, etc. have already begun. What this means is that all of Patrick's
energies will be focused on V4 so that it can be completed as quickly as
possible. The only way to speed up the process is to completely halt active
development on the current site, which means that no new main features will be
added into this version. Furthermore,
the spring event and any other upcoming events will remain very similar to those
events from previous years. As of last week
Rescreatu has hired 3 new Content Managers and they are currently in training.
They are helping Crowflux and Dess with compiling all past suggestions and
input from users and staff so that it can all be taken into account in order
for V4 to be the best it possibly can be. Once there is a full list of data
compiled on the features that we are going to implement and we have more of a
handle on the information, we will be incorporating ways for the players to get
involved. We are not exactly sure how we are going to do this, but we are
brainstorming different ways and as soon as we are able to do this we will! The site will continue to function as it currently
has been except with more communication to our players. Support, Moderators,
and Helpers will remain as they have been which means tickets will still be
getting answered the same way and current site features will also continue to
work as they have been. We would like to address our lack of communication with the player base by releasing an update at least once a month informing you guys of the progress we have made since our last update and what you can look forward to in the coming month. It might not be the most exciting news, but you guys will know what is being worked on while it is being worked on.
As a start to our improved communication here is what you can look forward to this month: Valentines and Christmas contest winners and prizes from the past events will be announced and given out. Staff is working long and hard to complete the art for the Derp Effect and when this is finished very soon details on how to acquire the effect will be released in an update. Since we did not realize that the user base would be so taken by the Derp art and did not announce that we would be making it an effect until April 2nd, we will be announcing another date this month that the effect can be can be obtained. We will give you a few days' notice in hopes that everyone sees the update. Spring events and egg hunts will be released towards the
middle of the month. We have placed Iluvu, Vaspi, and Ezahni back into the mix to be hatched Achromatic until April 15th since they did not get a full month in rotation for this color. The Shaefu, Berrok, and Meragon will continue to be active this whole month like the previous update stated so there is a chance to hatch all 6 of these in achromatic currently.
Finally, please congratulate Yoda, White, and Llama for making it into Content Manager training. Llama will be working as both a Moderator and Content Manager. |
