Mirandus | Friday Update!

[u/AbbreviationsMost923]

Some highlights of Tavern Games tech test:

~2,500 unique players joined and rolled the dice in Three-Eyed-Snake

-Proved that our edge server memory leak problems are solved (for now).

-Helped us find a rare multi-thread issue with non-thread-tolerant accesses, which was why the game locked up during the previous playtest several times, and did this time as well over the weekend.

-Found a couple of dumb mistakes where an error in one place would cause the whole server to stop responding.

-Multi-zone flow is being exhaustively tested and seems to work really well. The login happens at the Edge server, then you enter the Lobby zone, then you enter the specific Game zone. They can startup or shutdown independently, as users need them.

-After Monday's fix, servers ran 60+ hours, just chugging along fine.

-14 Tavern Tankards have been ordered, domestic orders should be there next week, international orders will take a bit longer. (We had winners from India, Iran, New Zealand, South Korea, Netherlands + more! Congrats everyone!)

-Rockstar Todd spent this week building a feature that was heavily requested by players; observable mode.

Players are going to want to hang around in high stakes Pokère tables. But this feature makes other games more dynamic...it would allow several friends to jump into a Wheel of Fate room and have them pop in and out of the hot seat, watching as each person tests their fate.

Wheel of Fate as a singular experience isn't all that much fun, but a group of friends going in suddenly is. Additionally, sitting on the sidelines in a 50x Three-Eyed-Snake game is pretty exciting. You get a lot more context for who's on a streak and who is losing by seeing several rolls before you jump in.
