Development Progress
Bug fixes:
NFT Syncing Fix (Missing Cards):
The Singularity team has implemented a fix to the synchronisation issue and are now constantly monitoring NFT Animals to make sure this problem has been solved. An extra node server was deployed to run parallel to the current nodes the team is running. This will ensure no data goes missing in times of BSC congestion. From our current tests, no missing data were recorded from the 27th to the 3rd. The team will keep monitoring and patching the syncing issue until it is properly fixed whilst Zoo Chain is being constructed to make fees almost $0, remove congestion and to ensure fast gameplay at all times.
Combat Points:
The team is now investigating an issue related to points not showing in combat as it imitates a calculation error in the combat history and we are fully aware of this issue! This will be fixed ASAP to ensure all players have a seamless combat experience.
MMZ Progress:
MMZ UI has been reworked to remove all previous errors in spelling and the loading screen. The developers are also working on MMZ being playable on a horizontal screen (for PC players):
Demonstrations shown are real, live tests of the ZOO MMZ game mode in early BETA. MMZ UI will incorporate animated assets, as requested by the community, such as the one shown below. More animated assets will be revealed in future patch note updates and eventually, ZOO Warriors will be able to test all of this live:
Old asset demonstrations from the BETA with unoriginal art will be changed. The art team is currently progressing with this and visual updates will be released in future weekly patch notes.
The developer team is currently working on increasing user accessibility with MMZ by properly hosting the game within the ZooCW frontend, as well as working on ZOO Pay, Tower/Farm logic and changing the data structure to avoid slow combat times. The majority of this week’s progress has been on the backend of MMZ - including reducing lag, working on wallet connectivity, etc. The team cannot represent these changes as they are not visible and are still a work in progress, however, future patch notes will detail these via video footage (once the UI is fully available) and eventually, a playable, working test for all ZOO Warriors.
DAO Interface Progress Update:
The ZooCW DAO will soon be migrating to the legendary, governance hub! This will eventually link staking and governance voting into one hub, which Zoo Warriors can easily access. The developer team are currently working on finishing up the CSS and look of the DAO before it is released in Q1 2022.
Zoo Wallet Progress Update:
The ZooCW wallet is still under development, a new feature that will allow new ZOO warriors to seamlessly connect with ZooCW DAPP applications and eventually, bridge over to the Zoo Chain from BSC.
Economy Progress
Non-native pools such as BUSD, ETH, etc. that are not related to ZOO, will be removed. This update will occur in the coming weeks/month (depending on MMZ progress) and will seek to improve the ZooCW economy long term as ZOO gains empowerment within the ecosystem.
After non-native pools are removed, a portion of the KEY tokens from non-native pools will be transferred to a single ZOO staking pool, called the Cauldron. The Cauldron pool will allow ZOO Warriors to stake either ZOO or xZOO (under discussion), in return for KEY tokens!
KEY emissions were changed this week as per community votes in the ZooCW DAO. Emissions were reduced from 6048 KEY tokens, for both farming and combat, to 3024 KEY tokens.
QOL Progress
The combat tickets system will be changed to save 75% gas fees when playing. Free tickets will be removed and ZOO rewards from combat will require ZOO Warriors to only purchase one ticket for one ZOO. This means transactions will shrink from four required transactions for participation rewards to only one.
Christmas Utopia airdrop rewards will be distributed within 10 days. In the meantime, a list will be updated within the next week.
This week reveals plenty of features the Singularity Studio team is working on and we are not stopping here! Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the release of these features, some coming sooner than you would think 👀
👋See you, ZOO warriors, in the next patch notes update! The update will be scheduled 1 - 1.5 weeks from now, depending on how the team is going. The team is always listening to community feedback and we cannot wait to reveal our progress on 🎲 next time! We want to make sure every weekly update is full of progress that the team is proud to release.
💖Thank you all for your support!
