Exploit: Zero Day's "Acid Burn" alpha release is finished! It was a big one that included a slew of bug fixes and new features. These were deployed in small batches as we worked on "Headless Swarm" and the Rosette Diceless Companion. Here's a bit of what that included and what's coming next for EZD.
New Features
We added:
- The ability to replay puzzle solutions and share those replays
- The option to scale up puzzles to 150%, which is helpful for accessibility and touch devices
- A listing of Featured Systems on the homepage
- A way for folks to close their accounts
- Design improvements around cluster and system listings and account avatars
Bug Fixes
Notable fixes included:
- Adding a "verify email" button for new users so that email client link checkers didn't use up the one-time validation links
- Cleaning up some issues with scryp awards from home clusters
- Fixing up some long-standing "ghost" node issues
What's Next
We move now into the "Razor" alpha release phase. As before, this will roll out in small chunks. The scope may change a bit as we work, but we're keeping this fairly small, as we'll be moving into beta after "Razor" is complete.
"Razor" will probably include:
- Cluster thumbnail images
- A one-time-pass node in puzzles, which has been discussed on the forums a few times
- Some further encouragement to create home clusters
- Redesigns of the system page and the store
- More fixes!
We're really looking forward to knocking this out. As "Headless Swarm" finishes, we're moving towards a smoother, more welcoming experience for both new and veteran players.
