B: Business Development & Marketing

The month of march is packed full of action!

Our Discord Server has seen many updates.

We have once again drastically improved the new user experience by adding a new onboarding feature to the GFC Discord.

New users are immediately able to choose which kind of notification they would like to receive and guided through a handful of steps to help them understand Galaxy Fight Club and the structure of our Discord.

We really made sure that our onboarding process and sequence makes sense and is easy to follow, considering the complexity of our project.

The new elements also include some new channels that our existing users might not have seen before, like the #onboarding channel which has the first of many videos for a more personalised welcoming message from our team.

There are still a couple of missing pieces to the entire Discord experience that we want to provide to our community, for example the addition of the weapons library and other indepth guides and tutorials.

We are working on a weapons library which will be available on the tutorial section of our Discord server soon.

We started sharing a couple of these as a preview on Twitter!

Considering the amount of weapons, these took a long time to put together but we totally see the need for these in order for players to be able to see the weapons in action and decide on which weapons they would like to use in the arena.

For our existing and engaged community members, we also have a surprise!

Say ‘Hello’ to Alphabot for our Battlepass Holders!

We are starting to give out whitelist allocations and tokensale allocations to holders of our Battlepass NFT and we are kicking it off strong!

This very first Alphabot giveaway gives you the chance to participate in the public sale of the Blockgames $BLOCK token.

Very anticipated project and make sure to check it out if you’re a Battlepass holder and enter the raffle on Discord!

In addition, we’ve also been invited to a few Twitter Spaces over the past couple of weeks!

Seedify / Seedworld invited us once again to their Mondays space to talk everything gaming and in this edition — Battle Passes as mainstream monetization tool.
