Devlog [02.08.23]
Sindonic - Feb 8th 2023 06:00NEWS
Hello, Sprouts!
As you have seen, we are back to work on the site. Users should continue to expect pages to change without notice and news updates or dev-logs. We are currently trying to condense old info that has been sitting on the site for a long time. This update is mostly quality of life and rule clarifications to improve the user experience.
Also, we have begun correcting typos and lousy punctuation across the site. We are still in progress, so don't hesitate to contact us if you are still looking for something. Users should expect these updates to make the site cleaner and easier to navigate. However, this is not a formatting or design pass. We still need feedback on our Navigation, Tabs, and Titles organization. Admins must complete the hubs and page contents before we can progress onto future visual overhauls.
Users should expect broken links, especially in items. Admis will complete the Item Catalog after we clean the site up. All items will be corrected and receive full flavor and descriptions this round. We will also be doing any visual overhauls needed to items if needed. After this, we will take some time to organize our internal archive, which is large and separated over multiple databases. All these changes are necessary for users before we proceed to other backlog work. We will update the community on our progress as we move into 2023.
