Key Highlights:

  1. Enhancing Connections – Friends 2.0: Our team has identified a synchronization hiccup in the “Best Friend’s” animation within our Friends 2.0 feature. Rest assured, our developers are on a mission to ensure your virtual interactions are as smooth and synchronized as they are in real life. Soon, connecting with your best friend in XANA will feel more natural than ever.
  2. Refining Expressions – Post 2.0: We’ve noticed some of our animations weren’t quite hitting the mark. Our creative team is currently tweaking these animations in Post 2.0 to bring more life and accuracy to your digital expressions. Your avatars are about to get a lot more expressive.
  3. Streamlining Entry – Onboarding 2.0: A seamless welcome mat is crucial for any experience. That’s why we’re ironing out the wrinkles with the Login/Sign options in our Onboarding 2.0. We’re committed to making your first step into the XANA Metaverse as smooth as your journey.
  4. Visibility Matters – Avatar Invisibility Functionality: Invisibility is cool, but not when unintended. We’ve caught an issue where avatars were turning invisible under certain conditions. Our team is already on a quest to bring everyone back to visibility because, in XANA, everyone deserves to be seen and heard.
  5. Accessibility at Its Best – Friend’s Icon: Your connection ability should never be hindered, so the disabled issue with the Friend’s icon caught our immediate attention.

Key Highlights:

  2. Navigating the Depths – Terrain Underwater Issue in XANA Festival: Our explorers discovered some of our terrain and decided to take a swim in the XANA Festival area.

Expect to dance, interact, and celebrate without needing a virtual snorkel.
  3. Enhancing Usability – Setting Screen UI Issues: A seamless experience is key to fully enjoying the XANA Metaverse, and the setting screen is your control panel for personalizing this journey. We’ve identified a few quirks affecting the user interface of our setting screen, from sliders that slide a bit too eagerly to buttons playing hide and seek. Our UI/UX magicians are on the case, redesigning and refining the setting screen to ensure your customization experience is intuitive, effective, and, most importantly, frustration-free.

  2. Perfecting Perspective – Camera Angle Issue from TPP to FPP: A change in perspective can change everything, and we understand the importance of seamless transitions from Third-Person Perspective (TPP) to First-Person Perspective (FPP).

Our developers are fine-tuning the color palette and syncing mechanisms to bring uniformity and clarity to your avatar’s appearance. Your digital persona reflects your unique identity, and we’re committed to ensuring it shines consistently bright.
