This started as a simple plan to give users ownership over an NFT that actually *did something* in-game from a pixel MMO to a massive studio spending years crafting a beautiful unique universe.
On another note, we think it’s finally time to start sharing some more lore. Follow our X, this month we began posting daily from internal art showcases to Treeverse lore. And this includes bigger threads talking about the major changes you can expect in Season 2.
Expect more of these in the month of December!

Reward chest added
Over 30 tasks of bugs related to quests were fixed and merged
UI
Continuing implementing the new UI while replacing the existing Nova implementation
UI Audio
Support for having custom UI for PC vs mobile
The following panels had major updates, but there were also many changes, visual improvements and bug fixes applied to many other panels
Shop, Party, Dungeon complete, Gathering, Crafting, Skills, Statistics panels
Polish & Bugs
Remains is an important focus as we approach beta. The closer we get the more important this becomes. Too many to list but a couple to note,
Interactions in particular got a lot of focus last month, with updates to positioning, mount behavior, moving, and multiple interaction behavior
Immutable is finally working again on android
New Visual effect rework which hopefully fixes the last remaining client loading lag
Going Forward
The main focus of the team is Season 2 as we grow closer. We are still working on content implementation and a few additional features before launch.
We will keep everyone updated on socials once we have a date set in place and how exactly the launch will work.
As mentioned previously, there will likely be one more progress reset after this Season before an official longer launch, however this time around you will have the opportunity to contribute for exclusive items that will carry on post-S2.
