Side note on the new videos:

One thing about Blobosphere (the blobs planet): it is obvious that blobs are 100% based on humans, but the planet being shown wasn’t originally thought to be Earth to dodge obviousness.

Azeem (the video artist) replaced the blue planet used in the videos with a recolorized Earth. After giving it a thought, it made perfect sense to remark the blobs resemblance with humans by including Earth as their home planet instead of trying to hide it.

So, +1 to obviousness.

Bugs And Fixes

• Android app: We discovered that the performance issue in the Android app is caused by Android’s webview. We profiled it and the performance degradation seems to be caused by something in the system that messes up between network requests: 

The web version is almost ready, just needs some quirks for adapting to phone displays. Then it will be used to replace Android for the time being.

• iPhone app: It seems the webview doesn’t have the same problems. We just need a few more days to get to it.

Twitch chat support: Still working on it. Will roll out very soon

New universes: Eduardo finished making the characters of “Spiral of the Damned” and “Tavin|DAX”. Boards are being created. Before the next build, both universes will be released without storybooks. They’ll basically be dungeons like “Clash on the swamps” and “Pits of the fallen souls” until the storybooks are made.

Next release schedule:

We’ll try to have it done and released during the next week, most likely during the weekend, and include the announcement in the next newsletter issue.
