Afternoon, ballers!

Welcome to the first ever fballers devlog. It will be a series of announcements posted on the website and informing of the progress we are constantly making. We believe that uploading regular devlogs on top of the ‘leaks’ occasionally shared on Discord will help you understand where we are with the project and also make you feel like you are in the loop because effectively you will be in the loop. In today’s devlog we will focus on what the devlogs are and how often they will be uploaded, current state of development and what you can expect to see next. Without further ado, let’s get to it!

The devlogs, their nature and how often they will be uploaded

As mentioned earlier on, the devlogs will be a series of articles published on our website focused on the current state of the project. It is hard to envision how long each article will be, some of them may be fairly long, others rather short. The main goal of each devlog will be to provide as accurate update on our progress as possible and perhaps disclose some of the next steps. This series will run simultaneously with the leaks, we are not replacing nor getting rid off the ‘leaks’ channel from Discord. The leaks will stay on there for those who are actively following our project, whilst devlogs will be published to the wider audience biweekly.

If you are not familiar with ‘leaks’ – it is a designated Discord channel where, from time to time, we publish screenshots of components you will get to see in the game. If you would like to stay up to date with the leaks, please join our Discord server.

Update on the progress of our work

First of all, we would like to thank everyone for their contribution to the project, we are extremely satisfied of the progress we are making as creators and community. You are the reason we are making this game and we love your input so far, please keep it going and help us grow the community. The baby steps we are making now may not come across as vastly exciting, however they need to be ticked off before we get to the point where our work is more visible to you. We can assure you that we are not slowing down and are constantly pushing the development forward.

As of now, we can proudly announce that 98% of the work on User Interface (UI) design has been completed and what is left to do is just minor changes/corrections which we will make as we go along. This could not have been achieved without our graphic designer who has done a terrific job when it came to designing the app based on the specs provided. It took us a while to find a perfect man for the job and it also took some convincing, but it was definitely worth it. HUGE THANK YOU, we know you are reading this!

You have already seen quite a bit of his work, but this is not everything, there is still plenty of content that we have not published yet, so stay tuned. We have also taken into consideration security aspects and decided to initiate implementation of the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to ensure all your accounts stay as protected as possible. We care for our users; we care for your security and privacy and we will do our best to make sure all those aspects are taken care of from our end.

What’s coming next

The next devlog will concentrate on more technical aspects and essentially deliver an update on the progress of development from coding perspective. We will attempt to make each article unique in a way, so that you don’t get bored of them too quickly, hopefully tune in for a little bit longer than first few devlogs and give us some feedback along the way. We are also working on a simple onboarding process in preparation for the testing stages; we would like to collect as much data as possible before we start testing our game and for that we will need you! Please keep following our social media channels and join the Discord to stay informed.

Kind regards, team fballers
