Any word on the big surprise reveal/development yet? It's been more than 3 months I think already since first the word came out about this. I hoped it would have something to do with a triple A developer or something else on this scale, but it's strange that nothing is being said anymore regarding this. Maybe because of the current situation of the market?
While the difficult market situation is not easy for any crypto project, it has no bigger impact on the development of the Xaya platform/ecosystem - Xaya team is working on all fronts to get this thing rolling. But it takes some time of course, you don't just create a game over night for example.
That being said, there is still no new information about the game Xaya develops on their own, but it's being worked on behind closed curtains. And there are other things to get done as well, like getting everyone their CHI from presale, bitcointalk bounty and Growth Engine campaign. It doesn't sound like very much of work to be done, but there is so many users, that didn't provide their CHI addresses and this always results in some distraction, which then causes some delays for the core work of developing the Xaya platform. Then you have the hardfork happening in some days etc, so it's not like everyone is bored
Soccer Manager Crypto looks like some closed beta early January at the moment and is very much anticipated by the community:

Thanks for the detailed response. I understand there are a lot of things that come into play in the operations of XAYA, but am glad to read that a lot is happening behind the scenes. I think I just need a bit more patience, in the end, good things take time to build
I have no idea what takes them so long or why they can't be arsed to distribute the CHI. Just keep getting on their nerves by opening tickets
