Copi Brief - Edition 1

Summary

Last month, we reached the final stages of solidifying our 90-day plan, and this month, we're in the process of implementing it. We have mapped out the next 365 days with both broad objectives and specific tasks for all team members extending through April. This comprehensive planning will result in an array of new playable features and significant advances in our marketing efforts. In the upcoming 30 days, our focus will include:

• Expanding Avatar customization options with additional outfits and hairstyles.
• Enhancing the inventory system to include props, icons, and programming.
• Developing Solace Land Plots for community engagement.
• Introducing Woodworking Buildings for crafting opportunities.
• Launching a Testers Toolkit, equipped with new custom tools to streamline the testing process.

Game release 0.2.23 “Let's Get Spatial” was released on March 2nd which includes the communities first look at the spatial player inventory system. Many items can be found throughout the Calido Resort area to interact with such as credit chips, Copi Cola cans, gold bars, and burritos. There is also a "Strange Cube" that only spawns once a day.

Our team is diligently at work, strengthened by the arrival of new members and ongoing improvements to our organizational structure.
