نبردهای بین دسته ها یکی از مواردی بود که در آخرین جلسه برگزار شده بین توسعه دهنده ما در ماه سپتامبر تصمیم گرفته شد بر روی آن کار کنیم.

ما مدتها بود که قصد داشتیم چیزی را امتحان کنیم که بتوان مدیران را در یک دسته با کمک یکدیگر به یک هدف مشترک برسند، بنابراین آنها دلیلی برای گفتگو و برنامه ریزی در چتهای بین گروه و انجمنهای هر گروه داشته باشند.

ما امیدواریم که بازیهای نبرد علاوه بر کسب موفقیت در جامعه، بهبود یابد که برای این منظور ایده های بسیاری در مورد چگونگی بهبود قالب در فصول آینده دریافت شده است که در صورت موفقیت آمیز بودن این رقابتها اجرا خواهد شد. بیایید ببینیم چه موقع این مسابقات در روز جمعه آغاز خواهد شد!

در حین دیدار با توسعه دهندگان، ما همچنین کارهای خود را که در طول یک سال انجام دادیم، مرور کردیم.

در بهار امسال کارهای زیادی در مورد بهینه سازی موتور جستجوگر اختصاص دادیم که اساساً به معنای بهبود قابلیت پیدا کردن سایت ما در جست و جوی گوگل است. این کار شامل موارد زیادی است، از جمله افزایش سرعت سایت، اضافه کردن محتوای جدید به سایت یا انتشار صفحات موجود و همچنین یافتن سایت به طور آسان تر برای گوگل. در حالی که ما می‌دانیم که بسیاری از این موارد انجام شده برای هت‌تریک ممکن است برای شما سرگرم کننده نباشد، ولی خوب بود که در نهایت بتوانیم این کار را انجام دهیم و کندی سایت را برطرف کنیم که برای این کار مدت زمان کاری جدی صرف کردیم.

We didn’t see much immediate results, but as the summer went on things started to change. Together with some other changes we did, such as releasing new app versions and asking users to rate us again in the app stores, we were starting to see signup numbers that we haven’t seen in many years. This trend has been consistent for several months now, and we can actually say that Hattrick is again a game that is growing organically - growing before any marketing we do, such as banners or reinvitation campaigns to old users. We are not talking about huge numbers, but it is a clear reversal of the negative trend we have seen in the last few years and we are really happy and motivated by it! Thank you for sticking with us, and thanks to all of you that have helped make this change by talking about Hattrick and inviting your friends.

As for the coming plan, the increasing user numbers have led to a new “background project”, which is all about improving the game experience for new users. We are working on that now, and hope this will help improve the amount of new users that stay in the game.

This autumn, we will also launch the second set of new features for our National Teams. This time around it will be the official scout roles, and the ability for NT coaches to create large shortlists of players. The shortlists will make it easier for the NT coach teams to monitor the progress of the players, and to communicate with managers who own NT prospects, but they will also make the whole selection process around the NTs more transparent, as any player heading to the main NT squad will first have to be shortlisted. We also think that the shortlists will bring more regular managers in touch with the NTs, making it easier for them to engage in the NTs and in training the right players for them.

What more can you expect from us in coming months?

As we have already teased on Facebook and the Hattrick Developer blog, we are working on a big project to add new player avatars to the game. The new faces will be more realistic-looking, and be a complement to the current more comic style. You will be able to choose yourself what style you prefer. We are adding the new faces for various reasons! It was clear from the start when we changed to these faces back in 2009 that the community were divided on them. For some, they didn’t fit the feeling some users had to their teams, and to Hattrick as a “serious” game. In the last 2 years we have tried to really work through the site and the design to make everything fit together better, which caused similar feelings among some users who preferred to stick with certain styles for the match order form, skill bars and so on. Since we now have going user numbers again, we are really curious to see what completely new users in the game would actually prefer. If it is the new faces, bringing in this option could end up being quite an important decision in the long run.

You can also expect to see the ranking system we have worked on for the past year introduced in Hattrick. We will start by adding ranking information to some existing pages before we build new features that takes this data into account.

Beyond this, our aim is to keep a good development pace with some nice surprises along the way up until the New Year.
