Hey everyone! This is the start of a new maybe possibly reoccurring publication I'll be making in which I gather the juicy juicy deets scattered by Gods Unchained Executive Producer Daniel Paez on a mostly-weekly basis. (https://blog.godsunchained.com/2022/10/06/meet-the-team-daniel/)
❓❓"But rckmtl, isn't this silly?" you say. "As if an Exec. Producer would even be paying attention to a Discord, let alone hanging out and chatting often enough for us to need this article, right?"
And then I shake my head, smile coyly and point down to the huge info dump below.
🌊Catching Daniel randomly in the chat as he pops in out of seemingly nowhere has actually been one of the better ways to get bits of questions on specific details of GU projects answered. (or searching his name every few days is handy to do too)
He's been doing it long enough now I feel confident it's an approach he'll be continuing and that leads us to the reason for this series-
📚📰This information is important and highly desired by many. A -lot- of it is pure fresh alpha almost shocking in the ease it's imparted, compared to on other platforms where the same questions have received only silence or vague "soon... soon? yea, soon"'s.
But a huge portion of the playerbase not only is unaware of these direct-from-the-top infos being dropped, they don't even ever go into GU gen chat as it can be quite a chaotic place compared to the more manageable Community Run Discords.
And even for Discord regulars it can be easy to miss a few posts or to have trouble following a thread of conversation that took place over hours. Or sometimes the question asker deletes their post; leaving things open to misinterpretation when trying to review. It's also hard to share the info with friends; who wants to be hunting down post links all day when they could be casting spells in a match instead!
So now, all the info is in one easy-to-reference-and-share place, wooo! I've started with the most recent past week. Going forward I'll be doing both new weeks as they are needed and catching up on archiving the backlog of danielPosts.
And don't worry, the rest won't have such a long intro; that's just this once!
One important last thing to note is that I have presented these posts without commentary to allow a more natural reading. This series is not meant to show or disavow support of any kind. It just is.
I will respond to questions in the comments though if anyone has them or wants to hear my take on any of the infos.
👉p.s. keep an eye out for The Weekly Dev, posting not long after this!

Once ready, I'll link the companion piece to this-👨💻The Weekly Dev👩💻which will collect any useful or interesting things the devs and other general GU team members share.

Well done! 👏
🤗
Awesome work! Really glad to hear him say that the ranking system "sucks" because it does. Looking forward to a fix.
I came into yesterday's CoM as they were discussing this, but if they just hide the display of names in game, then all the power players using GUvrs to deck peek will still be peeking.
Overall, though, I think Daniel is moving us in the right direction. Very excited about that.
wrt hiding names, they have said they would also be closing the api(endpoint) so that info wouldn't be in the logs anymore.
Also- Thanks!!! I should have the companion article up by this afternoon
