Top Highlights

Social posts now support a richer multi-image viewing experience, with stronger embed validation behind the scenes.

User discovery got a meaningful upgrade through faster search, better direct-match ranking, and clearer suggested-creator prompts.

Canvas became more rewarding and more stable with edition-holder bonuses, better boost guidance, smoother refills, and a more reliable bucket flow.

Moderators can review draft gated games more easily, while private game session handling got more dependable for players.

Wallet and trust flows were tightened up with safer HERESY max-bridge behavior and an updated 18+ Terms of Service requirement.

Social Posting Feels Richer

The social experience now does a better job showing context, media, and conversation detail.

  • Posts with multiple images now open in a dedicated viewer that makes browsing media feel much more natural.
  • Reply embeds and social previews carry more useful context, so conversations are easier to follow without losing your place.
  • Extra backend validation landed alongside these upgrades to make embedded social content more reliable.

Search And Discovery Got Smarter

Finding people and interesting activity should feel faster and less frustrating now.

  • Global user search was fixed so the right people show up more consistently.
  • Direct search matches now rank higher, making name-based lookup feel more precise.
  • Suggested creator messaging and follow prompts were cleaned up, and Analog Distortions gained a live explore feed for fresher discovery.

Canvas Added Momentum

This week combined progression improvements with quality-of-life polish for active painters.

  • Edition holders now receive paint bonuses, adding a stronger sense of progression and reward.
  • New boost prompts help surface those edition perks at the right moment instead of leaving them hidden.
  • Refill feedback was polished and bucket drain behavior was stabilized so the core loop feels less brittle.

Game Access And Moderation Improved

Teams reviewing games and players opening private experiences should both hit fewer rough edges.

  • Moderators can now preview draft gated games more directly, which should speed up reviews before launch.
  • Private game session cookies were refreshed more reliably to reduce access hiccups in protected game flows.
  • These changes support a smoother handoff between publishing, moderation, and actual play.

Wallet And Trust Flows Tightened Up

A few targeted fixes this week focused on preventing avoidable friction in sensitive flows.

  • Maxing out a HERESY bridge action now reserves gas instead of risking a stranded transaction.
  • Key wallet and sign-in calls to action were given better contrast so important actions are clearer on screen.
  • The Terms of Service now explicitly includes an 18+ age requirement to better reflect platform policy.
