Key Highlights

  • Feedback and Feature Improvements: The team has addressed feedback from the last few weeks, incorporating several improvements and optimizations based on user input.
  • Sharing Room Deep Link: A significant update is the completion of the feature allowing users to share their Summit room URLs via social media platforms like WhatsApp. This functionality, similar to how YouTube links are shared, aims to simplify the process of inviting others into virtual rooms.
  • Private Meeting Rooms: The private chat and meeting room feature, which allows users to request and join private sessions with audio and text chat, is now in progress. Half of the work has been completed, and the feature will continue development.
  • Vtuber Development: Development for the Vtuber feature is underway, with a focus on integrating front-facing anime avatars that move and interact with users. The first phase, including live-streaming and voice integration, is expected to be completed soon. The second phase will add features like comments and gifting options.
  • Summit Island & Performance Optimization: Summit Island has been integrated within the app, addressing earlier concerns about application size. The loading time has been significantly reduced, now loading in one-third of the previous time, improving user experience.
  • In-App Purchases: The team has made progress on implementing in-app purchases, which will support gifting features within the VTuber integration.

NFTDUEL

Key Highlights

  • Login Integration: Progress has been made in enabling user login via Telegram, Google, and Apple for the desktop app. While the mobile version had these features, the desktop version required additional development.
