HOLYBREAD ROADMAP - UPDATE (5/31/2020)
Welcome everyone to this week's Roadmap Update
It has been a busy week! There were bugs! Bug-fixes! Bugs back from the dead! And that was just some of the technical stuff.
We have also built up our team to a crew of 9 people. So what are all those people doing?
A lot of time this last week was spent building out servers, in-house communication systems, customer support systems, etc...
Q: But was there any work done on the game? I just want to play and collect loot!
A: Yes there was ! Let's jump into it.........
COMMUNICATION:
I know yesterday I said this post would be on @playbypost, but after feedback I received. We are keeping Holybread on the @simplegame account and moving our Play-by-post RPG (HIVEQUEST) over to @playbypost. So if any HIVEQUEST players have stopped by, head over to @playbpost for game updates.
EVENTS:
Our current event is the Great Breadcrumb Buyback

ROADMAP:
Any Milestones completed the week before will not appear on this weeks roadmap
1st Milestone:
Hive Migration
There is a portion of the team working on this daily. Nothing else matters to them! (Maybe sleep.... Maybe)
New servers & Databases have been created
Progress continues.
We are reducing the HIVE notice we are giving everyone for being completely off of Steem to 1 week.
HIGH PRIORITY !!! ACTIVE RESOURCES ASSIGNED
2rd Milestone:
Quick gameplay changes / fix
Fixed a bug stealing bread during item store refresh
Fixed a bug stopping recruit page from refreshing
COMPLETED !!!
3rd Milestone:
New Artwork for launch on Hive
-@wren1221 is driving this with artwork produced by @dksart
-This is actively being deployed. You should already see a new chest at the end of you Quests.
In Progress !!!
4th Milestone:
Economy Rework
WE are eliminating Breadcrumbs as in-game currency and reward for the Arena. A new tangible player reward more in sync with the concept of Hive as a blockchain will be introduced.
Make Gold more important to the overall game
Re-balance gold (how do you get it, what to spend on, costs)
In Progress !!!
5th Milestone:
Bigger gameplay changes that need minor code verus full refactoring of codebase
-NEW HERO CLASSES !!!
-We are going to be introducing the BARBARIAN & the BARD !!! With new items for the classes.
MED PRIORITY !!! RESOURCES WILL BE ASSIGNED AS THEY ROLL OF 1ST MILESTONE
These are our active Milestones. If you have questions about them leave a comment below.
Now we have other things coming down the pipeline. As our current Milestones roll off these will roll on.
--Rework the entire monetization of the game to support a sustainable company
--Replace Quests with Dungeons
--2nd Leaderboard (not associated with the Arena)
--Item system rework/overhaul
--Guilds
--New Potions
And off on the Horizon the weather is starting to change......
SEASONS will be coming to Holybread !
I want to continue to give a big thank you to all players for helping support HolyBread since its inception, without you we would not have this great opportunity.
I hope this addresses some of the issues you have and gives you an idea of where the Team wants to take HolyBread.
Is anyone interested in posts on the following topics:
-Game design : where are we going and what is the thought process behind it (Theory and Technical)
-In Game Economy : what is our current issue and strategies to fix
- State of the Game : Goal for the game & company. [answering the question. : are you profitable/stable]
Our goal is to be as transparent as possible with everyone. I know a lot of players are powering down Steem completey, if you have any liquid Steem your support on the Steem chain helps us generate revenue to get our plan implemented and moved over to HIVE.
