Give us your feedback

“We’re listening!”

This is one of our mottos. Toornament is an ever-evolving platform fueled by both our passionated team and our community. We’re
constantly adding new features, ironing out bugs and tweaking
performances.

We recently got great feedback from our community, be it local organizers, power users or video game developers. Here are some examples of requests we get and how we respond to them:

Tweaks

Let’s update, upgrade on an existing feature. Example: resend the acceptation mail for participants who didn’t respond yet. We’re also boosting our tournaments’ capacity from 128 to 256 participants.

Minor features

Some features are easy for us to implement and commit. Don’t hesitate to ask for them! Example: getting the AM/PM time format alongside the 24 hours format displayed in the widget.

UI/UX

Are there areas where you think we could improve the way you interact with the dashboard, from new arrangement to ? Example: We were proposed (with a nice drawing) a new visualization grid for the admin rights panel.

Long term projects

Yes, we’re working on new major features and these take time. Don’t be shy to ask for big things. We’ll always discuss them and see how they could fit in our roadmap… Or maybe, maybe we’re already working on them? Example: Free For All format, Participants score reporting.

Impossible stuff

Just kidding, nothing’s impossible! Some projects are sometimes simply out of our reach. For example, getting advanced statistics for all supported games like we have for Dota 2, LoL or Blood Bowl 2 doesn’t only depend on us. The games themselves have to allow some access to their own data, through APIs or match IDs. Ask your favorite game developer!

Of course, we can’t answer all the requests and some take much more time than they seem to take. Plus, we already have a packed roadmap ahead.

But we’re always thrilled when some of your feedback open our eyes and influence our work.

So next time you have feedback and requests, fire us an email at [email protected]! We’re also very reactive on our Twitter account, @toornament.
