Development Update — New Build and Upcoming Features
--
We hope this update finds you safe and well. Everyone at Chain of Alliance is extremely thankful for all your feedback and continuous support. A lot has happened over the last month since we shared the first version of our prototype with you.
After the launch of the Closed Alpha Prototype, we put a lot of effort into improving the stability of our infrastructure and making the app more robust. In addition to that, we looked into the feedback we got and the bug reports we received to improve the game significantly. We are also thrilled to introduce the new UI that we have worked on during the last weeks and hope that you will enjoy it.
We are glad to announce that Badge of Alliance holders will be able to download the first major update of our prototype, starting today. Detailed Patch Notes are available further down in this article.
Following this release, we will continue working on new features. Here is a sneak peek of some of the features you can expect in the near future:
THINGS TO COME
Character Builder
Our beloved Character Builder from the former testnet version will be back and better than before. In addition to character fragments, the new Character Creation will also include blessings and Gods breathing life into your new hero. This will replace our temporary store and TOK tokens.
Expanded Progression System
While we already introduced Character Levels in the current prototype, this system will grow as time goes by and will include not only improving character attributes but also unlocking skills which will make the battles even more thrilling.
Equipment Crafting
Another important part of the experience that we are working on right now is the possibility to craft new equipment, whether it is better armor or a rare and powerful weapon that will optimize your character’s performance in battles.
We will share more information about those features as we get closer to their release!
