MEGAWEAPON: State of the Game We have just entered Day 3 of live services for MEGAWEAPON, and new players continue to try out the game every hour! Early player retention appears strong, and users have started to spend in the game to compete in DEGEN Mode. We have deployed new servers in Singapore to support Asia, AUS and other high player density regions in proximity and early signs suggest it has made major improvements in the user experience for the fans furthest from our origin servers in US Central. Fans have been raving about the game! Feedback has been nearly universally positive on the game being fun, engaging and “unhinged in the best possible way!” This is all we can ask for, that when we build something, people enjoy it. We have had extremely productive conversations with Abstract every step of the way, and working with Raj and the team has been a pleasure. I am very bullish on Abstracts growth, and this just solidifies my thesis. To those clamoring for “WEN PORTAL” all I can say is “wait and see…” The launch has not been without issues, and it is critical that you know we are listening to all feedback and working furiously to improve your experience. Building a mass multiplayer global 3d PvP experience in a browser on a limited infrastructure budget is a massive challenge and we are taking a measured approach to rolling our additional resources to support additional regional servers. It is a double edged sword… if we add too many (aside from cost considerations) we fracture the playerbase and it becomes a perpetual war against the bots, so we need to move with intention so that global friends can play together as much as possible, while also making sure we deliver a stable, enjoyable experience for the highest possible number of users. Just last night a player asked for ping added in game (tab to the in-game Leaderboard), and today it is there. So what's next? 💣Tournament Passes are coming this week, which will “finish” the rollout of our paid services and provide a smoother paid access point providing “unlimited” tournament play for most users who may not be interested in the DEGEN side of things. Check recent discord announcements for the complete details of the Game Modes and this week’s prizes. 💣Tons of small QoL improvements in the works. 💣A new website design that improves the visual experience and delivers a more clear store experience. 💣We have new maps… lots of new maps! 💣Team Modes coming… and soon! 💣Custom Lobbies so you can design your experience how you want, with who you want! …and lots more I can’t talk about quite yet… All of this is ALREADY BUILT and will be rolled out in succession as we build momentum. Thank you for your support, and keep blasting, DEGENS!
