Hi there! During the past two months, we have been absorbed in further improving the stability and quality of our platform. We have incorporated the feedback received from the beta testers and game studios, and are aspired for more!

Our key achievement:

  • We have successfully conducted highload testing for all platform services.

Fractional unit for XGold:

  • We have introduced miniXGold (temporary name) as a fractional unit for the basic currency circulating on the Expload platform, which is equal to 0.00000001 XGold. This aims to promote flexible pricing and eases transactions when trading in-game items.

Improvements for game developers:

  • We have implemented additional functionality, which allows game developers to emit in-game items for selling at the marketplace.
  • The data input within games has been improved (macOS).

User experience:

  • Changes to the application’s interface — we have added navigation arrows and introduced new sections titled Settings and Wallet on the dropdown menu (next to the user’s avatar), while the user’s balance is now displayed on the header.
  • Games integrated with the platform can now receive background updates.
  • Users now have the choice to save their authorization data.
  • User and game settings are no longer at risk of being lost following platform updates.

CardPay:

  • As the payment system is now live, purchases can only be made for real money.
  • The CardPay window has been moved to iframe, which saves users the trouble of relocating to the browser when paying for their purchases — they can remain within the application.
  • The in-game purchase window has become more user-friendly.
  • Users are now informed about transactions performed on the marketplace.

The platform’s closed beta testing is running at full steam. You are welcome to join and experience the Expload application for a practice session! You can submit a beta application on our website. Please note that the website is available in Russian only.
