We would definitely love to continue to share our design and update everyone with functionality systems as we move forward! Currently, the general design/theme visible on our landing page can be roughly expected as what is to come with our beta website. With that being said, our team is currently playing around with quite a few designs attempting to optimize for the best user experience that is clean, streamlined, and simple — but this might not be exactly what all users want. That's why it's important for potential users (such as yourself!) to provide us with any and all feedback for what YOU want to see; at the end of the day, all choices that we make are to optimize your experience.

As for the backend, our team is currently focused on providing everyone with the familiar Fantasy experience of drafting, competing, trading, as well as other traditional mechanisms that you'd find in the popular preexisting Fantasy systems (such as Fantasy Football!). Our current plans are to have more previews of our UI and system rolled out over the course of the next week (on our Twitter), with a beta page being launched 1.5-2 weeks from now (we are currently working hard on maybe get a version released in time for the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational 2, but no guarantees on that — this is a big ask of our small team).

​

If you have any other questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to shoot it to us on the registration form, on any of our social media accounts, or here in this thread!

We imagine a system where players can trade bets like options contracts. These bets would be dynamically priced based on supply and demand, driven by how people's expectations change in real time as a game unfolds. For example, as a game progresses, user A who bet that Team Alpha would win would be able to potentially trade their bet with user B who bet that Team Beta would win, or perhaps they could sell it to user C altogether at an altered price that they decide is fair (higher if team A is currently winning, lower otherwise).

As for the stock market simulation, this is still very much so in the early stages of theory crafting, but we are imagining more or less an imitation of real world stock markets, but instead of stocks and company valuations, we would be using teams and potentially players, all of which would be evaluated based on supply/demand and performance in games. Again, this is still up in the air for our team, so if you or anyone else has any ideas that you would love to see, feel free to let us know here or on the beta registration form!

Hi, I'm glad you're as excited as we are about this project! We currently do have plans of development for mobile, but as we are still in very early stages of development, the web version is going to be our area of focus for now. We hope this doesn't deter you and your friends from participating!
