The hard part blatantly: Exode needs more investment to push forward, especially for a great front-end developer. Right now the gamers are the only investors here. Newbs are going to want to see a fancy-looking site to dig any deeper or buy packs.
Most other 'games' have investors, often 5 or more. These investors end up being the only ones that get profit in the end. Simply because they dump the coin right into the early growth period. Normies look at a game, see the various investors, and think it's a hopeful sign - but it's usually the opposite! The blockchain game marketplaces are too often too soft for investors to cash out while the game is just beginning to gain traction.
Exode is fighting to move forward without taking an investor. Elindos is under a lot of pressure to get the game looking better, so he can promote it more effectively. We need people that want to actually play.
The unfortunate issue is money - a front-end developer ASAP. Needs to make the website more visually appealing to attract players. Newcomers don't easily see what we know. Wildly enough, most gamers will just look at the website and invest if it 'looks cool'. That's it!
Exode already does have a reasonable amount of content. Enough to sell more beta. Also, a great outlook for the future. So much about Exode is just right! The problem is, we need to bring more people in. We can't do that without it all looking top-notch. A site developer will lead a lot of people to research the potential of Exode further. But we need to catch their eye first! A fancy website is an initial attraction we need now. I bet Elindos spends too much of his time on design when his skills are better suited for other things.
The player page is a great idea. The Exode community is smart and strong. People love to show off and receive views + interactions. Displaying achievements and all sorts of things. It's a great idea, but again, it's something in need of a gifted front-end developer while Elindos does what he's good at.
Crypto winter is real. Exode is trying to raise funds at a time when everyone else is, but for very different reasons. Exode is trying to get off the ground with the basics. Others are trying to raise capital to save themselves from their ultimate fate - failed (completed?) ponzis. Small gamers have been abused in other games. They don't know how to figure out what is honest and real vs a literal scam. It's true, many games are fundamentally scams. It takes a lot of digging to see it! The thing is, they look good on the surface. You really have to pop the hood to see that they're scams! Most people don't take the time...
Seems Elindos needs something to happen within in the next month or 2. Really, we need to sell the beta. To do that, we need a front-end developer. One way or another, he's going to get the help. Let's hope we can attract new players before he's forced to look for an investor. It's come so far...only lacking a key person to make the site look amazing.
