Product Update 04.02.2019
Hi BUFFer’s
We are almost there, coming closer and closer to our public Beta version. Now we are focusing on the core features — the brain of BUFF. We need to tackle a few challenges but it looks like we are definitely on the right track.
During the past week, we released a new version that includes a fully functional marketplace. This is where gamers can redeem their BUFF coins to get virtual game goods. Our MVP testers have been trying it out for the past few days and the basic functionality is working really well. We are working to address the input and feedback we are getting; ultimately we want the marketplace to hold multiple options to redeem BUFF coins, from gift cards to various game and platform skins, hardware, and much, much more.
As part of the marketplace release, we have also updated our entire user interface and design. This is one more step toward making it all a smooth experience. We still have some way to go, but it looks much better than our earlier versions.
Next, our plan is to handle a few core issues: first is fraud detection and enforcement. We want to make BUFF a safe and clean environment. We do that by detecting abuse and fraudulent activity, which we have been working on for a long time. We are going to release it for testing in the next couple of weeks.
On top of that, we are working hard on the smart allocation model, a truly complex challenge. It has to be a fair and dynamic model that will reward gamers based on their skill. The more and the better they play, the more they will earn. It’s based mainly on achievements and other factors, but we are also implementing some smart machine learning algorithms so that it will be an adaptive self-learning algorithm. We are expected to complete the testing and deployment by the end of this month.
Stay tuned, because we are moving fast. We release a new version each week with major updates. Our MVP testers are helping us a lot by giving valuable feedback and support,
so if you haven’t registered for our MVP please register now to get on our waiting list!
Yours,
The BUFF team
