We're testing in public now

A major milestone was hit and we’re finally starting to open up to everyone!

Focus has been placed on the ladder functionality with emphasis on enabling the minimal features required to run them:

  • User accounts and profiles (currently just using Discord oauth)
  • Forums
  • Displaying rules (that are easy for admins to create/edit)
  • Configurable ladders (different admins, llama settings, etc)
  • Integrating match comms and rant boards with Discord
  • Ladder logic (moving around after wins)
  • Information display (team: names, logos, bios, links)
  • History (team history and newly: rung history)
  • Roster management (apply, accept, remove)

With these (and many more) having passed internal/dev we’re opening tests in the public to selected testers and having quick 5 minute matches to try to rapidly simulate a longer period of time and discover any showstoppers before opening public ladders.

A huge thanks to everyone involved and big big high5s to insider who applied amazing generous crucial assistance which is deeply appreciated!

I’m opening up 1-on-1s with the admins I’ve been speaking to over the last few months and booking more with deeper demos and explanations as focus now adds the task of onboarding folks for games and getting back to it!

Looking forward to helping out and getting the ladder up and running again!

Glad to be a part of such an important milestone! Looking forward to what the future brings.
