[Build Update - Finally!!!] The new Blog is here!

Hey awesome people!

We were finally able to get a stable first draft of the new BLOG feature, which outs all your hashtags in one place and allows you to drag and drop them in your blog post.

So the new BLOG stuff goes like this:

  • All new UI for the BLOG feature
  • All hashtags are displayed in the left side column and they are scrollable
  • Drag&Drop hashtag to Title and Extra Hashtags space
  • Right click used tags to put them back in hashtag cloud
  • New Hashtag values! Some hashtags give you units, some give you reach (influence), some give you both

We STILL need to do a lot, like...

  • Adding tooltips and guides. We do not explain at all that you need at least one hashtag for the Blog Title, and that you can combine the extra tags in powerful ways
  • Filters don't work, they are just there to remind us to do them
  • Posting a blog should be done with a lot more bang. We will make it so you get a little report to understand the impact of your blog post
  • Overall color scheme and fonts needs a lot of love
  • Would be real cool to have some hashtag cloud animations and dynamism, also to drag and drop a tag back, there is a lot of finesse we hope to add

Of course the build also has a bunch of bug fixes and optimizations but those are boring to talk about and its our job to hunt and fix anyhow.

Next Build should have a new Time mechanic (we are converting time in a sort of currency) and also an updated Travel system where you no longer return to the airport after visiting an objective - you just go to the airport when you need to fly out of the country.

We really really look forward for your feedback!

Hugs & Love
