Good news, the Creator Analytics update is ready but the bad news is the timing isn't right to launch. I have some IRL things happening that require my undivided attention. All good things though, so no worries there. It's just best to wait until things are settled so that I can return the same attention to the update and you.
Creator Analytics WILL release next month! It took longer than initially expected for a number of unexpected reasons but scope of work also grew in many directions for the best. There's always more to do after the launch but there's more than enough to be useful and fun now and into the foreseeable future and historical past interests. Always nice when things motivate you to go, go, go. Didn't help switching chart libraries last week but know it was the right decision for the short and long run.
You'll see soon and I'm looking forward to having the proper time to respond to bugs and feature requests.
Hey all. Spring time is flourishing, and so are preparations for the next server updates!
The development team has been working hard on a major technical update to the server's framework, which is the migration from Paper to Sponge. What that means is that the development workflow is going to be faster after this update, as Sponge works much closer to Vanilla Minecraft than Paper does. Thanks to this migration, we're benefiting from a deeper customization of game mechanics and a general avoidance of sketchy coding work-arounds. If you'd like to learn more about the technical aspect, @cotander will be happy to tell you more.
That being said, we decided to release a server version 3.1.2 before the Great 3.2 titled Moria Update.
The 3.1.2 release is going to feature the new recoded server. It will serve as an intermediate update between the Eriador update and the Moria Update, as we are planning on using this occasion to find the potential bugs that might arise because of the migration.
Moria Update
We need to delay the release of Moria, both because we need to ensure that the server works correctly on Sponge in time for the massive event we are planning, and because summertime in general is a better gaming period than April/May (historically, it has always been better that way). But do not be sad, for we've prepared a little sneak peek for you in the form of a little TIMELAPSE!
Small update. Next month, we will start planning for registering the company locating in Thailand. The company and team will focus on developing the "CollabTech". There is a sign of more organizations are going to join us this journey in the future.
Here is a definition of CollabTech:
"A platform that enables everyone to ‘get to the point’ quickly and facilitates immediate collaboration through building blocks of best practices from various experts in the fields."
Well, without the rooted passion originated from this warm community, we might have not progressed this far. Keep pursuing for your dreams, guys! :)
Congratulations to the_pharaohs_cat for his promotion to the role of Head Builder on our server! The Head Builder will fulfil the responsibilities listed below in coordination with the Empire War staff team:
Authorising the initiation of projects regarding the development of maps for Empire War.
Overseeing the renovation and improvement of maps already on Empire War (including design standards and direction, prioritisation and logging changes).
Overseeing the preparation of new maps for Empire War, including adapting maps from both EpicQuestz and older versions of Empire War. Specifically, ensuring aesthetic standards are upheld when preparing maps for gameplay, and the most appropriate texture changes are made when converting a map from use in the EpicQuestz resource pack to the Empire War resource pack.
Overseeing the building of lobbies.
Overseeing the preparation of the server aesthetically for events such as Christmas.
After a roller coaster ride of locating, merging, migrating and auditing massive amounts of data (nearly a billion records), I'm back on crossing off front-end features until remaining tasks are down to launch preparation. The bulk of the work is done, last 10% requires pushing through and eventually leaving some ideas for post launch.
Just going to drop several work in progress screenshots from various analytics sub-pages and let them do the talking:
Recently, I teamed up with a country-level association to support 1 of 4 of our products. They would support with some costs and I offered them free of charge of services. The first product would benefit them about launching new campaigns and gaining insights from many industries, which were crucial things for any association.
Though the product was not developed yet and it was all about concepts. Well, I felt relieved. Having a first super user of a product of this level was not easy. It was worth to make a celebration anyway. 🎉
Besides, been hitting by depression, again, but I am looking for a way to make myself feel better.
I'm working on our Creator Analytics update and while it has grown in scope, it's more interesting and useful than I first imagined.
Here's a sneak peak of just the top half of a random members analytics widgets!
Each widget has a full page view that allows for an in-depth exploration of its data and insights. You will have the flexibility to navigate through various time frames, extending back to the inception of your membership or the publication date of your content, depending on the specific context. Relevant content, notifications and more will be readily available to explain and learn more about your analytics.
Still not sure when it will be ready but every day, it's getting closer :P
Find myself working at night instead of gaming because it's more engaging. Already covering profile, content, discussions... Maybe even get into wall post stats. For entertainment, knowledge and motivation.
Overall goal is to make it interesting to everyone that posts anything here. We just have so many systems and unique members that it's hard to cover all at once.
Scope keeps growing with what I want to add. Ready when it's ready.
Small update. The first planned product of the startup team got paused as we found out that business would be more stable with good source of the financial. So yeah, we then needed to shift 1 of 4 product concepts to be the first priority. Now I'm into learning about marketing and people behaviors, to cook up the new product (as a digital platform) off of the chosen concept.
P.s. A secret hint, if you want to develop a product, try to look for its fundamentals then try to twist them. You may shift or change the paradigms and make the bridges between those paradigms and fundamentals. Once successfully found the stable bridges between ideas.. Boom! There, that is the new product concept!
P.s. #2 Hey, creativity and having fun are the keys. 😁
Small update. Successfully made a startup team of 3 guys. The team made of a programmer and visionary artist (me), certified financial planner (and also a programmer), and marketing tech specialist.
P.s. Wellandel is still in my super long roadmap. Once all necessary things are ready, it will be revived haha.
