Keeping you updated on Kaneva | News for your Virtual Life

Hello All Kanevans, time for another Kirt Asks, where you are the expert, not me.  And that has never been as true a statement as with Ka-ching!, the new craze in the virtual world of Kaneva.  What I mean is, I am no expert at Ka-ching!, in fact I am just the opposite, but I love playing anyway.

I am having a wonderful time hanging out at the Ka-ching! Lobby, chatting it up and sharing tips with all the other players who are so pumped up on adrenaline from their last game, we can’t even type straight!

What I have learned is there are games within the game!  You gotta hand it to Kanevans and their creativity; give ‘em one game and they turn it into many games (have you been to a Dance Competition lately?).

So here is the Kirt Asks:  What games within the game have you heard about?

Here’s one I was invited to last night:  One on One Coin Race.  Create a game, just two players, lock it.  Use the in-game chat to confirm readiness and commit to no shooting, collect coins only!  Start the game and see who collects the most coins.  This is my type of game, since I am a terrible foam dart shooter!!

Here’s another one:  Two on Two Collector / Shooter.  One coin collector and one foam shooter on each team.  The shooters should hunt the opposite collector, or protect their collector, or both.  Hint:  collectors like to get the energy shield before dumping coins, so a shooter should locate themselves strategically for this.

So post a comment here and let us know your favorite game within the game, so we can all have more fun in the Ka-ching! arenas!

So you made that wonderful suggestion on how things could be better in Kaneva….what happens next?  Does your suggestion get lost in a myriad of other suggestions, or buried because it doesn’t have a lot of thumbs up votes on the Kaneva Ideas page?

Well friend, let me alay your fears!  We actually read all of your suggestions every week and go back and revisit them often.  While some may not work into our roadmap of what we are trying to create, or may not be feasible from a technical standpoint, most ideas we see make us all sit up and take notice, or may be a wonderful reminder of something we had wanted to do but for some reason or another had not done yet.

Below are some of the suggestions from the Kaneva Ideas page that we have implemented so far.  Also included are ideas we were already working on that were already part of our roadmap or things we knew you wanted from your previous feedback:

A better avatar creation system:

While this is not a complete list and not everyone’s idea is suggested in the list of implemented suggestions, it is a good starting point to show that we do listen, we do care and with your help we will make Kaneva a great place for all involved!
