ZEDx Rollout - The Five Phases Explained!

There are five phases of development; we are currently in Phase 1 - Internal Testing. This is the longest phase with tests ranging from small systems functionality to piecing together core gameplay mechanics and performance.

Alpha or Phase 2 begins once we have confirmed internal signals. This will be open to a small group of external users to collect feedback on gameplay, useability issues, engagement and UX. Early testers may join around October/November, but dates are flexible based on progress towards internal benchmarks. The date for the waitlist will be announced at the next AMA. 

Invites will be sent through a Google form, focusing on players who provide helpful feedback and are actively engaged. Players who have been negative or unhelpful won't receive early invites, despite their leaderboard ranking.

Phase 3 - Closed Beta is expected by year-end, leading to Phase 4 - Open Beta, and then full launch. The emphasis will be on thorough testing and quality before advancing phases.

Phase 5 = GTM!

In C2, the sprinter Glass Portfolio from MNP, mid-runner Wreckage from SSR-Thors-Pony-Palace, and marathoner Echolation from Dads Un-stable took out the first place on the track with well-deserved wins.
