On Track
Introduction
Welcome to the fifth grant update from Decentraland Alternative Explorer project. This team has the main goal of developing an explorer version using two different technologies:
- Bevy targeting to Desktop
- Godot targeting to Mobile
As secondary objectives we have:
- Make reliable explorer-agnostic tests to ensure the well-working of new explorers
- Develop experimental builds on VR and Web using Godot
The project is progressing as planned.
Highlights
General highlights:
Last month, we focused on the application’s reliability. We prepared both explorers for the testing sessions.
We published a Open Beta for Play Store for Android, and we have a closed Beta for iOS.
19 march we had the Mobile Testing Session for Android, you can see it here: Testing Tuesday Protocol Squad - March 19th.mkv - Google Drive

Next steps
As everything seems to be on track as planned, the public roadmap in DAO Expanding Decentraland Platforms · GitHub contains what we’re working on.
Save the date! We have planned a live test for 9 april for the Bevy explorer for Desktop (Windows/Linux/Mac) and a showcase for the VR version!
April is the last month for the proposal!
We are going to focus on the stability of the platform, improve the visuals, fix bugs, and have the experimental VR version!
