Weekly Development Update l 3 February – 9 February

Racing against time.

Opportunities don’t spring out of the blue. You have to create them. And the team at XANA understands that perfectly.

Each deliberate step is in service of a more significant dream – the dream to bring the latest Web 3 solutions to billions of people around the globe. Each week, we push ourselves to churn out new features, fix bugs, and deliver a better experience through our products.

Here’s what’s been happening behind the doors.

XANA APP

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. Our tech wizards are working their magic to ensure that your social hub within XANA remains accessible and fully functional.

XANA Browser

Key Highlights:

1. Water Terrain Issue in ‘Helptoheyhey’ World: The immersive experience in ‘Helptoheyhey’ World has been slightly dampened by anomalies in the water terrain rendering. Rest assured, our developers are diving deep into the code to bring the serene and fluid beauty of water terrains back to life.
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. While underwater adventures are thrilling, we understand the importance of keeping the festival grounds dry and accessible. Our dedicated team is deploying a solution to bring the terrain back above water, ensuring your festival experience is immersive and dry. 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.

XANA Builder

Key Highlights:

1. Unlocking Potential – LOCK NFT Issue: We’ve identified a hiccup in the LOCK NFT feature, which is key to securing the uniqueness of your creations. Our tech artisans are fine-tuning the mechanisms to ensure your NFTs remain locked and loaded, safeguarding your digital masterpieces from being replicated without permission. Soon, your creations will stand as unique as your creative vision.
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 currently adjusting the lens through which you view the XANA world, ensuring that your switch from TPP to FPP is as smooth as the narrative flow of your creations.
3. Streamlining Movement – Functionality Issue of Transport Component: Transportation is the heartbeat of exploration in the XANA Metaverse, and we’ve spotted a snag in the functionality of our Transport component. Our engineering team is under the hood, tweaking and testing to ensure your journeys across the digital realms are as seamless as the narratives you weave.
4. Portal Precision – Warp Component Start Portal Value Issue: The magic of teleportation lies in precision. We’ve discovered an issue with the start portal values in our warp component, which could lead to unexpected detours in your adventures. Fear not, our wizards of code are recalibrating the coordinates to ensure that every journey starts and ends exactly where you envision.

Consistency is key, and we’re on a mission to ensure that your personalization settings are uniform, ensuring that your digital identity remains intact wherever you roam on XANA Web. 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.

Conclusion

XANA is by no means a single product. It’s an amalgamation of various ideas that need individual attention. Or they risk running adrift.

With that said, we’re always happy to share progress on each product under the XANA umbrella. We’re doing our best to keep things together and progress toward a better future for all of us.
