Brand new roadmap features paid currency and voice/video chat!

At Metaplace, we semi-regularly post development roadmaps.  We like to do this because it gives the community a glimpse into what we're working on and lets everyone provide feedback and get talking.  Plus, I don't like keeping secrets from everyone!  Roadmap time is always fun.

This roadmap is one that I'm particularly excited about.  We're going to be releasing integrated voice and video chat into Metaplace!  This will be really neat because having voice chat enables many more events, such as live performances and discussions without the need to type constantly.  It's also exciting that we've been in Open Beta for months now, and have learned SO MUCH from our community.  We're planning all sorts of great tweaks and fixes based on what the Metaplace beta testers have been telling us throughout the last few months.  Things like revisions to our play embed experience, new user starter experience, and Metaplace Central - our fun hangout place.

Another huge announcement in the roadmap is that within the next 4-8 weeks we plan to launch a separate and paid currency.  We'll be talking more about these plans in the future and will be holding discussion events to talk about the developments with this particular project.  Content creators rejoice, because within the next 6 months we plan to let you cash out of that currency.  Start making your creations on the Marketplace, because soon you'll be able to earn cash for them!

We'd love to know what you think.  Read the full roadmap and then post there or here and let us know :)
