Author: 0x9942c18de1b386d77828f79e4ebe4ed60bcd3fce
Update Status: On Time
Project Health: :green_circle: On Track

Introduction

Hello, in the third and last month of our grant, Decentraland Studios is happy to provide an overview of our achievements during this period.

Highlights

We are ready to deploy the new and latest features for our platform but have been temporarily delayed by last-minute technical difficulties. We will be deploying the new version of Decentraland Studios in the following days with these new features, as stated in our original proposal. Most of the screenshots you will see below are the final versions, taken on our development environment.

HIGHLIGHTS

  1. Dashboard for project management, for brands to efficiently manage their projects right from our platform. This streamlined process enhances project management, offering brands a more intuitive and comprehensive tool to oversee their collaboration with verified studios. See screenshot. In the screenshot, you will see the dashboard’s empty state implemented in the browser. Click here to see the design of a populated dashboard.

  2. Messaging System Deployment, where brands can seamlessly track their interactions with studios, eliminating the limitations of traditional email communication. See screenshot

  3. Polls for Data Gathering. We have implemented polls to gather valuable data about job listings and user preferences. During this stage, we will send these emails at the end of each project posted on our platform. See screenshot

  4. Studio Profile Redesign to provide a more visually engaging and informative experience, allowing studios to showcase their work effectively. See screenshot

  5. Contact button and form. We’ve introduced a “Contact” button on studio profiles, simplifying the connection process between brands and individuals. This feature allows visitors to initiate direct communication without leaving our platform. See screenshot

  6. Customized Banner: Studios now have the ability to add a customized banner to their profiles, allowing them to personalize their presence and make a unique impression. This feature empowers studios to showcase their individuality and stand out on our platform. Studio accounts can personalize this banner from the back office! See screenshot

We will post a new update once these updates go live, along with a report of the product decisions we’ve made to continue the project in maintenance mode.

Metrics for October:

  • Unique Visitors: 1.8K
  • Page Views: 13.6K
  • Leads: 72
  • Job Posts Published: 7
  • Job Posts Moderated: 2
  • Onboarded Studios: 3
  • Consultation Meetings Scheduled: 15
  • Proposals Submitted by Studios: 55

Blockers

While we have been progressing well, we did encounter a minor delay with the deployment and the submission of this report. We apologize for the brief delay, which will not extend more than a few days.

Next steps

We have decided to transition into a maintenance mode, not planning to add new features for the time being, but rather focusing on keeping the platform operational and running smoothly.
