Updates

We’re hopefully going to do meetings more regularly (once a month?) if Cam doesn’t leak everything
Builder apps are open go apply
Daily quests
  • How many people actually do all their daily quests?
    • Positive feedback! People don’t actually do them all but want to see more…
    • if there are more types most people would be more likely to do them
    • Add a reminder in chat that you have daily quests to do
  • What are more daily quests you’d like to see?
    • Some ideas we’ve had: short fetch/delivery quests, riddles to find specific locations
    • Hidden Mickey quests!
    • More delivery quests
    • If you complete all your dailies you get an additional ride multiplier for the day
  • Potential feature suggestion: Let people passively work on dailies, don’t have to click to activate them so they can work on all/any at once
1.17 update → 1.19 update
  • Still being worked on, a lot of it is visual stuff that’s gradual (not one big release date)
  • It’s difficult to keep the server performance up while performing these upgrades, but still trying to gradually figure it out
Ride captions are coming very soon to more rides
  • We have a team that’s working very hard on adding them!
  • Goal is that all rides will eventually have captions
  • All currently finished captions, to be added soon:
    • Ariel, JC-Ash, JC-Cam, JC-cheezypop, JC-Mina, JC-Smom, Lincoln, Peoplemover, RSR, Astro Orbiter, BTM, Gadget's Go, Jumpin Jellyfish, Space
We're working on the shop changes we teased last call
  • Hoping to have it out before end of August
  • Doing more price balancing soon too
  • Storage item prices are going up… beware
Boosters
  • Releasing global and personal boosters on buycraft
    • Global boosters: everyone on the ride with you will get the booster
    • Personal ones follow you to any ride
      • If you activate a personal booster and then log off, it’ll wait for you to log back on to continue counting down
  • Voting booster
    • If you vote on all sites you’ll get a booster for next 24 hours
  • Weekly booster
    • Every week you get to claim 1 booster that will activate on a ride for the duration of the week
    • DVC+ get 3 weekly boosters
  • All of these types of boosters will stack on one another, except for ones from the crate
    • Can stack global and personal boosters
  • Purchasing a personal booster from the store will allow you to pick which ride it’s for, but those gotten in-game will be for random rides
Minigames
  • Minigame ideas brainstorming in thread in #meeting-chat
  • One lobby, anytime the game ends it will be available and a DVC+ can start hosting a new one
    • Eventually, there will be more lobbies so you can make private party games (later, will not be released with everything else)
  • One minigame that’s coming soon: Red light, green light
    • On Main Street, banners will turn red and green (do not fear, this will be colorblind friendly)
  • The goal: quick party games to play and then move on to a new round
Chatting about future plans
  • Mouske wants to work on Animation Academy because that would be cute but. no promises on it coming soon
  • Perhaps parades too but lighting in Minecraft is scary
  • New merch dropping soon??
  • Matt discovered a way to make it so the player is locked to face forward in a ride (will be toggleable)
  • Pin boards/pin trading (“take a pin, leave a pin”) always in the works on the long-term back burner
  • Actual pin books releasing at some point
    • Place a pin in the book to “collect” it
    • Potential small prize for collecting everything, like a title or something
    • You will be able to change the pins that are in your pin book
IF+ (coming August 3rd)
  • No longer based on you needing to have DVC, just adds a + to the end of your current rank name
    • Do not get all of DVC perks
      • Most DVC+ perks will move over to all IF+ players, but speed may be moved to DVC
  • New perks:
    • First person ride POVs on many coasters!!!!
    • Ability to use /afk on all servers
      • Won’t display in chat, but will show in tab (and potentially above your head)
    • Ability to raffle items using /raffle
      • New command to raffle off an item to online players and randomly draw winners
    • Exclusive above-head chat bubbles when you speak in public chat (/settings)
    • 5% shop discount -> In-game shop items will cost 5% less for you!
    • 3x 6hr random ride boosters (1.3x) (redeemable weekly)
    • Custom spawn location (any warp)
    • Same price, available for more length options, probably 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year packages
    • Removing the 2x monthly unique items
  • Exclusive prize for those who had DVC+ prior to the switch to IF+
What do people want to see next?
  • Toggle-able setting for confirm button on Magic Crate
  • Characters that just walk around and get on rides (during their releases)
  • New crate animation perhaps?
  • Revamp of VIP pins perhaps
 

Questions

  • Will Mojang’s chat reporting system come to IF?
    • No, we backport (support older versions) so we won’t be able to support this 1.20 feature
  • What will the maximum amount of boosters be?
    • However many categories are available, you can stack one of each type of category of booster (e.g. vote booster, personal booster, …)
  • Where’s the Retro server been?
    • There have been some technical issues but it’ll be back soon (not down because of PotC)
  • Will you be able to spectate minigames if you’re joining late?
    • If you get eliminated from a game you will be able to spectate, not sure if there’ll be a way to spectate if you were late to join
  • Will there be a player limit to minigames?
    • Goal is to support as many people in a minigame as possible
  • If I buy DVC+ now and make it an auto-renewal, will it automatically switch to IF+?
    • Yes, if you have a subscription now you will not need to cancel it
  • What is Cam’s favorite color?
    • Blue.
