A lot of time has been spent testing and tuning the holozing:wilds game lately, so much so that I'm starting to get tired looking at the game, lol. And here I wanted to participate in it when it officially launched, but maybe that is the goal of a developer and tester, to test it thoroughly to the point where you hate it and leave it to others to enjoy playing it.
My attention has also been split a bit recently as more has gone towards scrobble.life, we're doing quite a few overhauls and honestly I'm just happy I am able to do these myself these days with the help of AI than having someone I need to pay and constantly ask to tune things differently.
A lot of things that have been kind of abandoned due to dev abandonment are being looked at now to see how we can fix it. One of such things has been the way we curate accounts, it has require a lot more manual overseeing than necessary and a centralized need to use discord, which in the case that it'd cease to exist would've left us quite unable to perform the job properly. Thus we're doing some work to have another way to do things that doesn't rely on a centralized chat platform. We're quite excited for this as in the same go as we return to needing less manual input and time spent to make sure the authors are good to get voted on, we may even open up the doors for outside contributors to become curators not by applying, not by having connections with some other curators/their communities, but by the way they go out and look for posts to nominate and curate. This is something that many like to complain about, that curators aren't doing a good enough job, that authors are being ignored, etc (even though most stats prove otherwise), so now you'll have the chance to do the work yourself and even get rewarded for it, transparently and publicly.
Another thing that's been a big cutoff for us has been our onboarding project that relied on hiveonboard.com to operate, we'll be looking at other existing projects here soon (demotruk's web of trust, pharesim's hiveinvite and even keychain directly) and potential tooling to make it work for the way we wanna incentivize our onboarders who spend a lot of time and effort to actually guide newcomers which has proven to have a great effect on retention: https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@demotruk/ocd-leading-the-way-in-user-retention
Point is, we're back to looking at some of the root causes that made some things discontinue and now have the tools available to allow us to fix them ourselves, which I'm very grateful for.
I'm trying out Holozing.wild; I'm still getting used to the game. I think I've caught several creatures. In my country there are many power outages, so when I can I check it out and try to catch creatures.
I am active on scrobble.lifeAnd the idea of curators seems great to me. That we can all get quality content.
Greetings, I'm keeping an eye on the updates, especially regarding Scrobble. It's the project that most interests me because of the reviews, the music, and the books. Very interesting.
Hello I'm trying to enter scrobble.life and I can't tell me to try later
Can you try again please?
Okay, I was able to log in. I loved watching a documentary video; I thought it was just music. I loved this option.
I'm really pleased that scrobble.life is making great strides. Excellent work.
