Footium Weekly Update
Welcome to the first installment of the Footium Newlsetter which will cover everything that has happened in the last week and a little preview of what we have planned for next week!
Development Updates
With Phase 2 of the beta underway and games happening everyday, the main focus was with bug fixes and feedback identified by the Beta Testers! The feedback has been invaluable so far and we are working hard on little bug fixes so we can continue to scale the beta this month. We are looking forward to scaling to more players as the banter and storytelling between Club Owners every day at match time has been sensational!
Other development updates from the week:
Work on the tactics and player positions which will allow a much smoother in-game experience when testing the beta which will go live alongside player trading.
We have been working on the final page for the new website before starting to build out the new game design next week.
The design work has been continuing for all of the different pages that will be within the Footium game with a sneak preview of another page coming early next week.
With the Rarible Rinkeby API back online, player trading has been merged and will be added to the live beta very soon.
This Weeks Club Spotlight
New Signing to the Footium Team
We welcomed Simon to the team this week, an extremely talented UI/UX Designer based in Paris. Simon brings a wealth of experience, having been in the industry for over 10 years including working as a Product Designer for Dailymotion and 360Learning before joining us full time at Footium! Simon has already been working with the rest of the design team on the intuitive design overhaul of the Footium game which is really starting to take shape.
First Community Grant
Following a successful application, our first community grant has been given out to Metaverse Studios, who received $3,500 to continue building out their immersive Footium show experience. We have been strong supporters of Metaverse Studios since they came to us with their idea back in November and we are excited to be able to help them continue building their vision for a ‘Match of the Day’ chat show covering the world of Footium. If you have an idea for a project that would compliment the Footium ecosystem, make sure to apply for a grant from our community fund here!
