I regularly met with the product team to listen to their long and short term goals for an MVP rollout. Initially, there were a lot of blue sky ideas for complex gaming mechanics and aspirational goals for rewards. Candy listens closely to loyal fans on Discord, and many of these suggestions were informed by this. It was great to make note of these and do early ideations, but inevitably they were out of scope for this deadline, so they were marked as “bud” ideas to revisit later.
While the stakeholders continued to finalize the finer details and mechanics, we at least agreed on the core elements needed for the MVP design. The Candy League page should display points, tiers, UI displaying their progress, and eligible rewards.
