&ensp;

&ensp;

# FESTIGRAL 1.0.10 - Welcome to Festigral!

### One heck of an update, so much to explore...

Below is a list of all the things that we fixed. We probably introduced some more bugs along the way.........but we'll fix those eventually 😂

&emsp; &emsp; &emsp; - Current MAJOR Changes -

> **- Disabled Daily Challenges** To the 3 people who used them, we found the current implementation to be a bit buggy. For now, we have disabled them. Once we get them fully fixed and working, we will let y'all know.

> **- Find Out Your Owned Events** IDK why we didn't think of this before 🤷‍♂️. We now added a screen to see what events you own. This place also allows you to edit those events if you see fit.

> **- Details Events** We added some more information to event details. It should help you get a better understanding of what each event is and whether you want to enter.

> **- Leaderboard Now Looks Like Leaders** We changed up what the leaderboard pages looks like. We simplified the information being shown and made it a bit more visually appealing.

> **- Map Not Global** TOO MUCH ZOOM 💀. We limited the zoom level of the map to help focus on the playable area a bit better.

&emsp; &emsp; &emsp; - UI Changes -

> **- Changed The Starting Logo** Changed up what the logo animation does on login.

> **- A WHOLE NEW SKIN** We changed up the UI a little bit. Just a tad. Take a look around it and let us know what you think of it.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Still Out On This Drive

We will continue to made changes, push updates, and add new features to Festigral accordingly.

Festigral 1.0.5 update is here 🤘! We want to talk in more detail what we've change, what we've added, and what we've removed.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# FESTIGRAL 1.0.5

### One heck of an update...

Below is a list of all the things that we fixed. We probably introduced some more bugs along the way.........but we'll fix those eventually 😂

&emsp; &emsp; &emsp; Current Changes

> **- Added Updates Screen** When new updates got pushed out, there wasn't a way for y'all to know. We added a small intermediate screen to check if there are any updates.

> **- QR Scanner** Fixed MAJOR issue where events scanned with the event scanner were not able to be played. Events scanned are _NOW_ able to be properly scanned, entered, and played. They also properly show up in your all events page.

> **- Event Duplication Error** Instances where bookmarked events were duplicating on the "All Events" page. We have corrected this occurrence.

> **- Bookmarked Events** Bookmarked events now show at the top of the "All Events" page whenever you first load into the app. This wasn't intentional but it's now a feature.

> **- Improved Navigation** Navigation was difficult. We found that people simply don't know how to swipe right 😒. We added a simple navigation bar to the top of all the pages. This should make it easier to exit pages that you enter.

> **- Bank Card** It was a bit hard to view your account balance before. We added a Bank icon to the home page so that you can easily access and view your account balance.

> **- IPHONE - Keyboards** Proper keyboards should now show based on what input you need. Don't ask why that's a thing for IOS but now it's fixed.

> **- Shared Events** Sharing events now _PROPERLY_ credit the person who shares them. This is probably the most important fix of this update.

> **- Created Events** Created events now add a marker to the map based on where they start. For some reason they weren't before. While this is a convenience, it does look cool when the map is full.

&ensp;

Festigral 1.0.5 Patch Notes - Bug Fixes Galore


# INTRODUCTION

Preparing for the IOS launch has its challenges, but it's going to be worth it. We know that a majority of users in general use IOS, so it inevitably becomes our responsibility 😔. We want to make sure that those users have access to **Festigral** and all it has to offer.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# The Pending IOS Update

### For those apple eaters...

As we mentioned in the summary, we are looking to have the IOS version of the app available within the next 2 months 💪. While this might seem close, our dev team has been working overtime to make sure that we can hit that deadline.

We of course will give another update if that deadline needs to be pushed.

However, for all those IOS users out there, get excited because you're finally going to be able to join the **Festigral** universe

&ensp;

&ensp;

# When Specifically?

### So what's the hard date...

We are planning to have everything ready by September of 2023 🙏.

That being said, there is a change that it will be available before then. If that's the case, users who get provided an access code will be able to enter.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Why IOS?

### I thought this was suppose to be Android only...

Well yes, but after intense market research by our marketing team...we found that IOS simply has some _critical_ benefits 💰 that we can use right now as an early stage company.

While this might piss off some of you hard core Android users, we promise that we will do whatever it takes to keep both sides of the pond happy and cohesive. After all, it never hurts to bring on more enthusiasts to run events with.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Where Are We Now?

### Status update...

Currently we are in the final testing 🧪 phases of the IOS version of the app. We want to make sure that it runs flawlessly on all the latest devices. We also want to make sure that the more common IOS devices are able to handle the heat.

Outside of that, we are also finalizing several performance enhancements for both versions of the app to make sure that users have a better overall experience with the **Festigral**

&ensp;

&ensp;

# To Close Things Off

### AKA the closing paragraph.

When we are ready, you'll know. We hope that opening up to IOS and all the benefits it has to offer, can bring a much needed boost 🔥 to **Festigral**.

For now, stay safe and never forget that the streets are meant to be conquered.

### Updates and all...

Below is a general list of what changes have been made.

> **- Added A Lockout Screen** If the app fails to initialize certain functions, it could cause other parts of the app to crash. We added a way for the you to reinitialize the app up to 2 times, after that you will be prompted to give the app a break or try relaunching the app.

> **- Notify The User More** If added some more notification messages to be more transparent on what is happening and to let you know if something breaks.

> **- Added A Way To Reinitialize The Map** Added a button that shows up ONLY if a certain amount of map icons fail to display on the map. This feature is still in testing and PLEASE let us know if this is not working by emailing us at **contact-us@festigral.com**

> **- Fixed some issues with Daily Challenges** We are still testing this to see if everything got fixed, but daily challenges should properly update now every day. If you notice any issues please email us at **contact-us@festigral.com**

Festigral 1.0.3 patch notes.

The Festigral 1.0.3 Patch Notes


# INTRODUCTION

_Daily challenges are here, and they are here to stay._

The newest addition to Festigral, **Daily challenges**! A different way to interact with Festigral while getting those sweet sweet Festicoins.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# What Daily Challenges Are?

### The secret sauce...

To put it simply, **Daily Challenges** are simple and easy to accomplish activities that are granted every day ✨. They are made specifically to push you further into the realm of adrenaline and give that extra rush we all so crave.

They are 5 main challenge types that are currently active and we plan on adding more.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# The Challenge Types

### What to expect...

Are challenge types are simple and they can grant upwards of 15 Festicoins per completion. We’re playing around with that number but that’s what we’ve settled on for now. Let me take you through what each challenge type is for now 👇.

&emsp; &emsp; &emsp; Current Daily Challenge List

> **Max Speed Challenge:** Reach the maximum speed set. Reaching that speed will grant you Festicoins.

> **Average Speed Challenge:** Similar to the average speed event but not as structured. Reach and hold the average speed set.

> **Play 'X' Challenges:** Simple enough, play a certain amount of events per day. Once you play the set amount of challenges, the reward becomes yours. (HINT: You can play the same events 🤫)

> **Reach A Destination Challenge:** Reach a certain point on the map. Navigation to this point will NOT be provided. This provides an extra layer of difficultly while allowing for some cheeky city exploration.

> **Travel 'X' Distance Challenge:** Probably one of the easier ones to complete. This challenge can be completed simply by driving around. Yet another reason to get out there, play some events, and claim the city as yours.

&emsp; &emsp; &emsp; We plan on adding more in the future. Stay tuned!

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Reasons To Complete

### If we have to explain this then you might have a problem 🙃

While it might be redundant, there are several major reasons why you should take part in the daily challenges.

For a start, they provide an easy and fun way to get Festicoins. These coins can then be used to buy into future events and compound your earnings.

Daily challenges also provide a fun way to explore more of the city while finding cool places to get down and dirty. Sometimes you might not be in the best area to flex your horsepower, we want to give a little bit of a reward for finding unique and safe places where you can.

With the addition of newer challenges, we play on expanding this list as we see fit.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# To Close Things Off

### AKA the closing paragraph.

Daily challenges are a new and fun addition that can give you more things to do besides regular ol events.

Take them for a spin, complete all of them daily by yourself or with friends, and have fun doing so.

For now, keep enjoying Festigral, and remember to stay safe out there
while your proving that you're the best in town ✌️.


The Launch Of Festigral Daily Challenges


# INTRODUCTION

Art is one of the most fascinating and expressive forms of creativity. It can capture the beauty of nature, the emotions of people, the ideas of cultures, and the visions of imagination. Or in the case of Festigral, the shear wonder and excitement that comes with car culture and being an enthusiast.

Art can also challenge our perceptions, inspire our curiosity, and enrich our lives. While some art forms aims to reach those goals, the art on Festigral is made to do just one thing...

**Set the tone for what Festigral is about.**

&ensp;

&ensp;

# What We're Trying To Showcase

### It's Not A Phase I Swear 😭

Festigral is all about the art of having fun while being fully consumed in the act. Whether it's racing, dune jumping, mountain scaling, or something different entirely, Festigral aims to be that medium that brings more eyes and personalities to what you love to do.

The art that we use to bring about that vision is a step in that direction. We're always looking for that splash of inspiration that helps us appreciate what we love doing more. The downright 'otherworldly' scenes and environments that our imaginations create. The spark that gets us all excited inside to try make recreate what we see in the real world.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Where We Get Cool Artwork

### It ranges really…

At Festigral, we want to stay open about where we get our artwork. As it stands, that means keeping our options open and always looking out for top talent artist and new emerging technologies.

We converse with an every growing list of artists from across the globe to help create some of those crazy scenes that you see on our app and website 🌆. We also use several different online image generators to both help with getting ideas for what we want our artists to create, and to help pad out our growing image catalog.

We know that using image generators has its ‘stigma,’ and that’s why we at least want to make it clear to y’all so you don’t go all crazy when you find out some of our images are generated.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Will you plan on selling them 🤔

### For the right price, of course.

When it comes to artwork done by our artists, we’ll need to have a conversation with them to make sure that they are cool with having their work sold, and what compensation will look like. Since we work with people all over the globe, that might take some time. We will definitely let Festigral users know when that happens though, and any sold images will be labeled as such.

As for our generated images, if there is enough eyes on it and enough people say they will buy it…who’s to say that we can figure out a price that makes sense 😗.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# A Sample Showcase

### Just a tease 😜

# The Social Media Craze

### Yes we’re on those.

You can find some more on our social media 📸. Check our the social links at the top of the page to get directed to each social media pages.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# In Closing

### Aka The Closing Paragraph.

The vibe we’re trying to create is ever important, and the artwork that we use to create that atmosphere is just one of many ways of achieving that. Artwork alone isn’t all what we’re going to use though.

In the near future, we will employ, create, and showcase other atmospheric elements and elements that will help further bring the vision that Festigral is. Stay tuned!


An Exercise In Image Generation

An Exercise In Image Generation: What Our Art Means For Festigral


# INTRODUCTION

Anything you create goes through phases, and the MOTORCLASS is just
the first phase of many for Festigral 👀. We’ll keep this one short
and simple with explaining what the **MOTORCLASS** phase is and what it
means for you as the player.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# MOTORCLASS: Definition And Examples

### Just incase you need a refresher.

&nbsp;

#### MOTORCLASS

&emsp; &emsp; &emsp;/moto.classs/

> NOUN: The first sector of individuals Festigral plans on
> supporting.

> _Example: That player is definitely playing the motorclass era of Festigral. You can tell because they are only playing on road events._

&ensp;

> NOUN: The current designation for the group of enthusiast Festigral currently supports.

> _Example: Dang, Festigral’s motorclass stage is fun, but I wonder when they are going to add support for people who are into climbing or biking?_

&ensp;

&ensp;

# What MOTORCLASS Currently Supports

### The Current Ins And Outs...

While Festigral is going to grow into more than what it is now, our
whole team needed to decide who and what we are going to introduce
first. Since we all happen to be car enthusiasts, we decided to start
there.

Thus, the MOTORCLASS stage was born. Festigral’s event types as it
stands in version (insert version num) offers support for anyone who
owns a motor vehicle 🚗.

All events take place on some sort of road, and you generally need
some sort of vehicle to compete in associated events.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# MOTORCLASS Expansion

### What We Plan To Do With It.

We plan on bringing consistent updates 📈 to the players of Festigral.

These updates will consist of everything from community requested
features, new events and event types, bugfixes that is either
discovered or brought to our attention, and much more.

We will continue to improve Festigral in support of MOTORCLASS until
further notice.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Future Expansion 🙏?

### Hint...Yes, Just Not Yet.

The short answer yes. We want to cater to as many enthusiasts as
possible.

Our plan is to bring fun, engaging, and competitive event types to
those audiences whenever we decide it’s the right time to do so.

We just need to justify that expansion first. From our POV, there’s
not really a point in sinking time, effort, and money into building
tools and entertainment for an audience that isn’t there.

That however will VERY quickly change if y’all show that sweet sweet
support

&ensp;

&ensp;

# To Close Things Off

### AKA the closing paragraph.

While the MOTORCLASS stage of Festigral may not cater to everyone at
the moment, the groups that are intrigued by it will have a whirl of
fun.

That being said, it’s always good to check back with us to see if we
decide to make any game breaking changes, or add support for the group
of enthusiast you consider yourself to be.

We also plan on releasing a plan of how we plan
_(lol so many plans)_ on expanding Festigral and the milestones
that need to be reached in order to do so.

For now, keep enjoying Festigral, and remember to stay safe out there
while your proving that you're the best in town ✌️.


The Motorclass

The MOTORCLASS: The current state of Festigral


# INTRODUCTION

_It’s time to introduce to the world, **Festigral**. The perfect tool for
enthusiasts to create, manage, and play events in your area._

With a unique take on a no nonsense feature set, a few hidden secrets
scattered around, and a desire to be something more than just an app,
Festigral makes it easy to find and attend the best events in your
city.

While the current release version is still in alpha and is only
accessible via invite, we’re excited to share how Festigral can bring
a unique experience to both creators and players alike. Let’s get
started!

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Create Local Events, Play And Compete

### The Fun Is Just Getting Started!

We wanted to do something new with Festigral.

Most events apps are simple in nature, they help you create an event,
and then maybe help you remember about that event…months after it was
supposed to happen. Festigral is different. We wanted to create
something that brings the excitement of either making or hosting an
event, but also the satisfaction, thrill, and enjoyment of being able
to participate in that event immediately, without having to wait for
it to start.

**So we did just that**, and combined the best of both
worlds to bring an experience that will satisfy both those needs.

That being said, events get stale, and you don’t want to deal with an
app that always forces you to see dead events whenever you open it
(looking at you Facebook 😑).

We created a system that keep the event list fresh and unique to you
so there’s always something to do whenever you log on. These are
broken down into app challenges or user creations, and are constantly
being updated based on their type.

Events expire after a certain amount of time and players of those
events get a couple goodies whenever that happens. What are those
goodies you ask?

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Festicoin

### We Promise It's Not A Stupid Crypto Coin.

**Festicoins** run this whole show. Think of them as Festigral’s in game currency and your overall player score.

All events on the app are paid with Festicoins, and you can obtain
them by either paying for a pack, receiving them as a reward for
winning events, or playing daily challenges.

The more coins you have, the more events you can play or create. That,
and it helps us keep this whole show on the road. Speaking of the
road…

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Localization

### Everything revolves around you.

It doesn’t make sense for you to find this really cool event halfway
across the country…and they only be able to play it by driving out
there to physically participate 😭.

So we made the entire event pool localized to you. The playable region
will be automatically calculated once you create an account, and new
regions with their corresponding events will only be accessible if you
are within that specific region.

It saves us both a bunch of hassle and helps keep things closer to
you. This also has the advantage of being able to find other local
enthusiasts to compete against or make friends with after the event
you’re playing expires.

But what if you want to be a creator…

&ensp;

&ensp;

# The Creator And Their Perks

### Is This The Overpowered Class?

The one downside of creating a platform that allows people to create
and play events…is you need people to play the events. This plagues us
as the makers of Festigral…but also the creators that make events for
others to play.

That being said, there are very beneficial reasons why you would want
to be a creator on top of a player.

Making events on Festigral is simple, just visit the event creation page and customize how you want your event to be 📝. But unless you get people to visit your event, it might just end up being a 1v0.

So we designed Festigral to be sharable, and it’s all thanks to QR
codes. When someone scans your event’s QR code with the built in
scanner and then end up entering your event, you’ll get a small
percentage of what they paid to enter.

The more people that join your event with your share code, the more
you can earn. This is on top of what happens when your event expires.

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Prizes, Prizes, Prizes 🎁!

### Let the reward flow to you.

Because we wanted Festigral to always be fresh, events need to cease
to be…at some point. But that’s not a bad thing.

If you’re the owner of an event that expires, you get a small
percentage of the overall competition pool.

It adds incentive to create popular events, on top of being the player
that wins it all. Speaking of that…

&ensp;

&ensp;

# The Winners

### For those who don't have a skill issue.

FESTIGRAL IS A GAME, and games have winners and losers.

The losers unfortunately don’t get anything once the event expires (no
free handouts for those who can’t meet the cut).

The winners however, might as well be treated as a god 🥇. Winners
(yes, their can be multiple winners) get a massive percentage of the
competition pool that will be directly accredited to their account
once the event expires.

They will be notified via email, or they can just check out the app to
see if they won or not. The more you win, the more events you can
play

&ensp;

&ensp;

# Some Words Of Encouragement

### AKA The Closing Paragraph.

This is just a small taste of what Festigral has to offer, and this is
just the beginning.

We’re currently in the “MOTORCLASS” phase of Festigral. [Find out more about the MOTORCLASS phase](/updates/the-motorclass).

Give Festigral a try and see if you like it or not. Share it with your
friends and make it go viral (we’ll personally reward you with
something cool if you help us get more people onboard).

But most importantly, we want you to have fun, and enjoy Festigral
safely (or don’t, were not your parents ✌️).
