Sorry for the late update, we are still working on the base game and were very busy finishing things up, which has not yet been released and thus no Dash version is available. We are still in the beta test and plan for a release by the end of February 2022 and then will include a dash version too and update all the apis we created last year. Most updates on the game progress and the beta test is happening on discord or telegram, but we will update here and on all MyDashWallet social media once things are ready to come out. https://discord.gg/ePz4phSvDu
 
In related news, there was a lot of updates on the MyDashWallet bots running on all social platforms, pretty much all of them had some api changes and fixes needed, plus there is some more work with supporting newer features, commands. this was not planned, but we keep things running and while it is very annoying to be shadow banned on telegram and twitter, we think it is important to work on those things asap as well.
- Telegram shadow banned the bot in early December and after trying several fixes, we gave up and just created a new account and relinked everything to it.
- Twitter api was updated in January, we got both api account blocked in January and read-only shadow banned banned in February and instead of creating a new account, we talked to support and updated our developer account and now are in good standing finally. With the new api requests also go down to a few per day instead of constantly asking twitter on new updates.
- Discord had some library updates as well plus there is some new features for commands, there was some downtime early February, now works well again
- While twitch is not used much (we will use it ourselves when the towers game is out), it runs much more stable now and doesn't need our interaction anymore
 
The integration of Towers and Dash IAP also turned out to be a double-edged sword for me. While I appreciate the efforts to improve the gameplay, the execution seems to leave room for improvement. Interruptions at crucial moments are frustrating and really interfere with the overall enjoyment.

I'm curious to know if the development team is aware of these issues and if they have plans to address them in future updates. As dedicated players, it is very important for us to provide constructive feedback to ensure a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience for everyone.
