As June began, the studio still had to watch its spending. After considering May’s market conditions and community response, the team needed to choose where limited development time should go first: more material to show, or a better experience for players already there.
BTC was near USD 31,500, and its rebound had stalled. The studio shifted its focus to keeping players engaged through gameplay. Some wanted more content they could present publicly; others argued that whether players started another match depended on how well the existing game played. The team decided to identify the points where players were likely to stop.
The choice moved attention from what else could be announced to why someone would keep playing. It set a direction for the next stage of work, but was not yet evidence of better retention. The team still needed player feedback to decide which parts of the experience to fix first.
