Members from all departments are playtesting together to make sure gameplay feedbacks are collected and addressed to pave the way for a hopefully less buggy experience for external play-testers. Which then allow us to collate more meaningful feedback from all of you!

With our technical infrastructure, gameplay and game analytic systems in place, we are ready to be building together with our community while being qualitiative and data-driven.

We have invested alot of efforts into ensuring product data analytic is solid. Here are some of the sneak peeks into our internal product dashboards. We are able to drill down to the tee of each individual Player, their progress, health loss, items acquired, augments chosen etc at each and every encounter.

Let me start with a phrase I spotted from the community “Sipher is busy shipping offline & online!“, special thanks to @Bard_Eth for this as it pretty much sums up what the last few months have been like for Ather Labs. It has been inspiring to see the effort being put by everyone in the team for our upcoming game Sipher Odyssey. But it’s not all fun & games, we’re also hard at work behind the scenes building innovative products with the power of AI (can’t wait to share with you soon), shipping your well deserved merch whilst also developing our official merch, and giving back to the community. I am equally as proud of reaching company milestones such as the 650 hours of breast cancer research funded, all thanks to your support. As we blast off into the next phase of Sipher Odyssey, we will continue to find ways to enhance your experience in and out of the game. I’m excited to see you all in action soon and stay tuned for exciting times ahead!
