Current Development Work
- New reward cards have been officially released in the game!
- New reward cards have half the collection power as Untamed
- Check the full list of reward cards here: SplinterStats!
- Next priority is updating the UI with the season end reward changes
- Pending rewards should reflect the current rank you are in, not highest achieved
Splinterlands Roadmap
- Roadmap is still unannounced as scaling priorities are pushing everything back
- The dev team seems to have scaling under control for now
- Should allow Chaos Legion & Modern/Wild format to resume development
Maverick Status
- Still considering raising the Maverick status requirement to 1000 Chaos Legion purchased packs
- Has to be packs purchased from in-game, not from other players or markets
- Considering opening up Maverick status to other assets like land and SPS
- Not a priority until land is released though
Modern & Wild Format
- Designing stage has begun, but not much progress due to scaling issues
Land
- The art and visuals are the vast majority of work right now
- Programming in game is less time consuming than the designing
- Land will be rentable just like cards
- There should be an incentive to own more powerful cards to work on lands
- A Gold Foil Legendary card will maximize production on any land
- The higher the card level is, the more it will boost production
- Any monster working on land cannot be used in battles
- Castles and Keeps will boost the production of all the land
- Keeps will boost the production of the whole tract!
- Castles will boost the production of the whole region!
- The higher the levels of the castle/keep, the higher the production may be
- Community contributions may be allowed to incentivize the owner to upgrade castle/keep levels
- Owners of the castles/keeps may receive a cut of the resource liquidity pools
Tournaments
- No intentions in bringing all the DEC tournaments back
- Focusing on SPS only as they offer higher payouts
DEC
- DEC will remain the backbone of the game and market
- May include more DEC sinks in the near-future, but nothing official until announced
- SPS is the main focus though right now
Exchange Listings
- Team is always looking to be listed on more exchanges
- But, they won't bend over backward just to get listed
- They also won't pay an unreasonable amount on a listing either
- Terms have to be mutually beneficial
Community Paid Roles
- Aggroed's vision is to have "employees to the DAO"
- Community would assign roles to other community members
- Examples: Streamers, Influencers, Support Members, etc...
- Certain amount of funds would be put in the DAO
- Depending on the roles, the assigned members would get paid from the DAO
- Community would assign roles to other community members
- All this is speculative and TBD though
SPS Staking - Vouchers
- The team wants to incentivize players to stake for long periods of time
- Not just stake for Chaos Legion pre-sale vouchers, then un-stake when pre-sale ends
- Team may give out vouchers even beyond Chaos Legion pre-sale to those who continue to stake
- Vouchers would act as a staked days counter
- The longer you stake, the more potential future rewards
- Just more earnings/rewards for those who stake for a longer duration than those who don't
Interesting Remarks From Aggroed
Aggroed is currently working on some big contracts!
- If contracts go through, he said they would impact the entire game
- Aggroed is super excited, so that means we should be super excited
- Aggroed is entering conversations with billionaires now that are being exposed to the game
- Nothing is guaranteed though as terms need to benefit both parties and the Splinterlands community
Team has a current lead on a VP of Engineering
- If hired, can delegate a bunch of responsibilities to this new hire from Matt's plate
- Would free up Matt to work on future game functionality
Team is always designing new game features with new players in mind
- Team is trying to please everyone
- Still trying to keep new players through releasing inexpensive card packs
Nothing is final until the whitepaper is released
- This is more in regards to how Chaos Legion and Lands will work/function
- Even information in these AMA's aren't official
- Once whitepaper is released, then there is no going back
