Dev Diaries: Volume 2
Off to a running start: January 2022 has been a decisive month in which the team worked rigorously on Flowerpatch. We are confident that this work has positioned us well to expand Flowerpatch through the remainder of Winter.
Game & Website Updates (January 2022)
January was a big crunch as we were kicking off new projects, battling important technical issues, and rapidly growing as a company. Here is what we were able to do to improve our user experience and product performance last month:
Flowerpatch/Nugbase
January was a big month for deciding the future of Flowerpatch. The most pressing issue has been space in the game and room for new players, so this month we made the Multiple Worlds update our main focus among other necessary optimizations.
> FlowerDB
- Fixed disappearing/missing FLOWERs in game world
- New capabilities for locking and unlocking NFTs at given locations — important for multiple world support (maintains FLOWER NFT status across different servers)
- Added read only web3 to the old redux context
- Begun refactoring working pages to use new state infrastructure and user system
> Game
- Updated filters in game and account page (added FLOWER # filter)
- Prepared for Multiple Worlds by syncing different game server data
> Website
- Fixed Portis login flow
- Portis users can now see SEED balance
> User Fixes
- Fixed “wrong owner” error in game info sidebar
- Fixed SEED counter & SEED popover
Redeemable
After over a year of preparation and allocating resources, we have finally built a working model of our new product: Redeemable. Redeemable allows you to pick any NFT from your wallet & transform it into a scannable URL reward.
> Website
- Implemented redeemable deployment and domains/https
- Designed and implemented account page
- Implemented Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, and Portis support
> Product
- Completed flow from landing page to NFT redemption
Dapper Dinos
Our progress on Dapper Dinos is chugging along steadily — we continued to develop new features and narrow our scope on the finished products we will deliver.
> Website
- Implemented production dino deployment and domains/https
- Updated all images to be high quality
- Fixed Dapper Dinos favicon
> Product
- Deployed Dapper Dinos app
- Mobile support improvements
- Many UI design improvements: on attributes, unlock popup, edit profile popup, account page
