Dev Blog

We are excited to share with you some updates on what we've been building.

• Our website is undergoing a full upgrade to give it new features and a more user-friendly look. We believe that this will enhance the user experience and make it easier for gamers to navigate the website.

• Our official bot "CARV Go" is now activated on the Discord server, and we plan to apply it to various external servers to power their operations. This will allow us to expand our reach in the web3 space.

• We are also working on some new features for our CARV Pass, which will be released soon. We believe that these new features will make our product even more beneficial for our customers.

• Our mobile app is actively undergoing UI and feature revamping. We understand the importance of having a seamless mobile experience and we promise to deliver on our objectives to the mass community.

Expanding and Powering the Ecosystem

Firstly, we are glad to report that our recent attendance at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) has been a success. GDC is the game industry's premier professional event, which allows us to connect with a wide range of industry professionals, from game developers to investors and beyond.

On another positive note, we have been making valuable connections with top-tier projects in the web3 industry. For instance, just last week, CARV and SPACE ID announced our mutual partnership, which was followed by an eagerly anticipated live show on Twitter Space.

And we're furthering efforts in onboarding more games onto CARV Portal. With over 10 diverse events going on at carv.io, we have curated two of our top picks to showcase the range of experiences our platform has to offer.

Summoners Arena: Into the SA World, E4C Difference Day

Industry Insights

On March 30th, the fifth episode of CARV TALK went live stream on Twitter Space. Squiddy from Champions Ascension and Fafa from FlowGPT explored AI, web3 and gaming together with us.

Community Highlights

After two months of undergoing stealth training, four new leaders, namely Tex, Jealousy, Dairycow, and David, have teamed up with Burnny and Lynarya to spearhead the CARV Guardian program. Together with 30 other guardians from different parts of the world, they will be contributing to a comprehensive gaming hub.

The CARV gamers' community is always a hot destination for game partners. The Puffverse team joined our community last week and shared the gameplay of the upcoming updated version, with more playable maps in PuffGo and interlink between multiple play modes. We co-hosted the Tearing Spaces cross-community tourney for everyone to have fun. We also played ZOIDS WILD ARENA, World Eternal Online, The Walking Dead: Empires, and Putt Party.

As we wrap up the newsletter, we would like to leave you with something to expect during the Hong Kong web3 festival. CARV will be uplifting exposure with a special agenda. Additionally, we are currently whipping up something thrilling with E4C!

Stay tuned for more updates.
