Hi @everyone
Our development blog #74 is out, you can read it here: https://galaxyfightclub.medium.com/dev-blog-74-982157671e80
We hosted some very exciting BAYC x GFC tournaments these last few weeks, with more information shared below! And as always, the bi-weekly only include a portion of the work we are doing, a lot of effort is devoted to building out new products which are not always fully shared in these updates for competitive and marketing reasons.
SUMMARY
a) Game and Web3 Development
- A little bit technical this bi-weekly, for those more interested in actual deliverables can skip to marketing and community sections!
- Photon Quantum 3 Enhancements: Addressed critical stability and performance issues in multiplayer interactions by collaborating with Photon support. Added Quantum webhooks for Photon Public Cloud, implemented input delta compression, and serialized RuntimeConfig and RuntimePlayer with JSON for improved server communication.
- Server and Matchmaking Optimization: Enhanced server performance through refined server-side code, improved resource allocation, and optimized data flow, resulting in reduced latency and faster response times. Overhauled matchmaking logic to ensure fair and balanced matches by considering player skill levels, recent performance, and latency.
- Client-Side Optimization with WebGL: Optimized game client using WebGL for high-quality graphics and smooth animations across a wide range of devices. Used native web languages to improve load times, performance, and ease of maintenance.
- Server Structure and Database Integration: Refactored server structure for better performance and maintainability. Integrated Redis for caching to reduce the load on the primary database and transitioned to MongoDB for scalable and flexible game data storage, ensuring faster load times and more responsive gameplay.
b) Business Development & Marketing
