DAO – Governance
This has the highest priority!
They discovered an issue with determining vote weight:
- People tend to stake multiple times
- People will want to re-stake their POLIS emissions back into the contract
- Knowing people will stake multiple times, the team anticipated difficulties with accurately measuring vote weight. So they are now implementing changes, which will lead to a modest delay.
Target date: end of February
There is also a team focussed on global polish.
This is a new division, and their effort will be perpetually ongoing.
Primarily: cleaning up tech debt and taking into account user feedback
Kicked off the development of their own market program.
More intuitive user interface, more gamer-centric approach (think in-game auction houses)
Target date: Q2 2022
CREAM
Major project and subdivided into 3 squads:
- mining & extraction
- crafting & materials
- (new!) space exploration feature (using ships in different ways than just putting them into SCORE)
Target date: July
UE5
A lot of the visuals they shared and will be sharing are subject to change!
4 phases (David) – dev process flow
- discovery: talk about what the project is, what it should be doing
- exploration: wireframes, prototyping
- validation: use prototypes and community feedback to help the team understand how we use those features
- production
Target dates have been removed from the roadmap.
going forward: Inform on the phase the project is in. Before they release any dates, follow the process of the dev-workflow and then share the confirmed date.
