REALITY Newsletter - April 2024

Hello everyone! This is SHARI from the Community Team 🍚

Spring is a season associated with new environments and changes, such as new lives and new school years! Just as the saying goes, "everyone starts as a freshman," SALMON has recently joined the Community Team and after a few months, I think they're starting to get used to it.
So...! This month, I'll be in charge of the Management Newsletter, and SALMON will be handling the User Communication, so I'd be delighted if you could read both! Let's have fun together 🎉
And as for me, I'm also a freshman as a senior. I believe that "change equals growth," and while enjoying various changes myself, I hope to grow together with everyone! 💪✨

Now, I'm sure many of you have experienced being a "freshman" in various aspects of life, and REALITY is also constantly changing and growing alongside you.
Please continue to watch over REALITY, which will celebrate its 6th anniversary this year! 🌈
Now, let's dive into the latest changes in REALITY with this month's REALITY Newsletter!

Message from the Staff

Metaverse! (Greetings) I'm DJ RIO, REALITY’ CEO! 🦊

Recently, we have been actively promoting initiatives to support all the streamers on REALITY, such as the Star Liver Project and Supporter Badges.

However, with numerous events taking place every month, the workload for ensuring the smooth distribution of event rewards, including communication with prize winners and checking publication materials, has been increasing rapidly. Unfortunately, this has led to some oversights and mistakes, for which we sincerely apologize.

It is absolutely unacceptable for our mistakes to tarnish the opportunities for streamers to shine as “whoever they want to be.” We are committed to making improvements in our post-event processes to ensure that streamers receive their rewards promptly and accurately.

We will continue to evolve REALITY to become a platform where more users can live as their 'ideal selves.' Please look forward to REALITY this month and in the months to come!

Hello, I'm Sizu, a Product Manager in REALITY.

Starting from April, the new Supporter Badge feature has been introduced! 👏
As the one in charge of the project, I'm thrilled to see users making use of it! 🎉

With the Supporter Badge, you can automatically use it with the rank-on setting, so please make sure to use it!

Since we're here, I'll share some behind-the-scenes stories from when we were devising the Supporter Badge.

With the Supporter Badge, when you meet the conditions of exceeding the current Supporter Level in terms of watch time or number of comments, and send a gift corresponding to a level higher than your current level, you can level up all at once.
For example, if you're at Level 1 and achieve watch time and comments equivalent to Level 5, and send a gift equivalent to Level 5, you can jump from Level 1 straight to Level 5.

Initially, during development, we planned to display only the comment history of the last level when leveling up all at once.
However, as we were working on it, we thought, 'Wouldn't it be impressive if all the colored logs were displayed to show the whole journey?' So we decided to display all level-up histories in the comments.

After creating it this way, I thought there wouldn't be many instances of leveling up all at once... But recently, I found someone who leveled up all at once on X! Hmm, it's truly impressive...!
https://x.com/watage07/status/1783128554492002766?s=46 

I encourage everyone to try leveling up all at once with the Supporter Badge!
Well then, see you again in the next update! Bye-bye!

Hello! I'm Ikura, the Community Manager.

April brought announcements of major updates such as Avatar 2.0 and the Star Liver Project (for the Japanese server)!
REALITY continues to move forward as a service that allows you to express and aim for “whoever you want to be.”' Your opinions are invaluable to us in achieving these goals, and they are highly valued within the company. Specifically, the Community Team organizes your feedback and analyzes how many opinions were received, and how much enthusiasm they generated. We compile reports and hold monthly live meetings where all employees gather to review the reports.

Of course, we cannot fulfill every opinion (REALITY also needs to continue as a 'company,' and there are often cases where opinions are opposite), but we are always watching your feedback through surveys and other means!

On an unrelated note, I recently had a spectacular fall at home and injured my left hand pretty badly. It's quite painful, to the point where I can barely play games and definitely can't play the guitar.
Also, I had a dream recently where a time bomb was implanted in my brain and I was on the verge of death. Should I be worried about something happening to me in the near future...?
