When you want to enter Everdome’s metaverse environment, you will see that you have to download our experience launcher. But why is this?
There are several reasons why we use a launcher, but the most crucial aspect to understand is that this approach allows us to most easily iterate, change and improve our experience on a constant basis.
A launcher is, at its most basic level, a desktop app for downloading and launching games. Everdome has been working hard on our launcher and client environment build - now reducing the file size to 4GB - lighter than ever and faster to download.
Every time our team drops new areas and features, or even simply fixes a few bugs, it means we release a new version, called a build. When our build is complete and tested inside our staging environment (basically a test center so we can make sure that our fixes and changes work) - this is then updated inside the launcher.
This is why sometimes when you reopen the launcher, it asks you to download Everdome once more - as it means that a new build is ready for you to explore.
However, updates and releases are not the only benefit of using a launcher. It also serves as the shop front for the experience.
In the classic web2 gaming world, launchers are often used to collect and store user data. As Everdome progresses, we will build out our launcher to help engage, grow and target old and new audiences to our digital world.
Now optimized to ensure our experience build is lighter than ever, we also recently added a video showing what you can find inside Everdome.
Our Launcher is the shop window for Everdome, and we will be further improving the UI to ensure more people continue to download and open our experience. These can include:
- Promotional actions to increase conversion
- News on latest events inside Everdome
- Choice of builds & better navigation elements
- Incentives to share the launcher and invite others
You can find our launcher here, so jump in and take some time to explore the different areas of Everdome. Don’t forget to share the link with others - the more the merrier inside our new digital civilization.
