Hello Friends!
Development can often feel like a never-ending process that takes far more time than anticipated. Even when you plan out every detail, it’s easy to get caught up in the nuances of the task and find yourself spending more time and energy than you’d like. It’s important to remain patient through the process and remember that quality results often come from taking your time. Pushing forward without adequately assessing and planning can lead to a project that lacks the depth and detail needed for success. While the process may take longer than expected, it’s important to stay focused and trust it for the best outcome.
Over the last month, we worked on finalizing the 3D art while holding down some full-time work, juggling family, social life, and more. But, move forward, we did!
Today we are happy to say that the 3d Side of the first batch of cards (the Fighter) is finished! We have also done a test export of the JASON file, and our developer thinks they can work with it to get the cards onto HIVE! So again, WOOT!
Here is the test run of the cards from the Cloud Land.
If you are just learning about this project, you can read our announcement post here : @exiledrealm/welcome-to-exiled-realms-a-new-game-project-for-hive
About the cards to be minted...
Each of the 13 lands in the game will have 770 cards for a Total Standard card run of 10,010. Total Gold level of 2,509, Total Dimond level of 1,001, and Total Black level (the rarest and powerful) of 507!
With the test and mint looking good, and the developer says he can work with the ERC-20 Jason file and convert it into a file we can use on HIVE; we will do an initial run of 770 cards to see if they all process right, then do the entire image generating.
It would be nice to upload the 3d file and generate the assets from that 3d File as they are minted or programmatically, but that development will have to wait till later on in the production cycle. For now, they will be static images.
However, we will make the 3d File available when the game is launched, and people can then use it to, we hope, to make other fun versions of the game!
Next is to get the BEE tokens needed, and mint / upload the graphics and start the sales process on the cards, as we then begin work on the market and game in the backend. Exciting!
The game will have internal tokens (No surprise with that, right?). Let's talk about how the tokens work a bit more.
The game will have a player-driven economy, similar to traditional trading card games. At the heart of that will be the Treasure Token. $TT.
The Treasure Token ($TT) can be won in matches, bought, and sold on the open market.
By staking $TT, you will get a governance token called $ETT (Epic Treasure Tokens) that will enable you to vote on community games and in-game changes, much so a governance token.
All in-game buffs you can buy will be tied to the Treasure Token $TT; any in-game sales will happen with the Treasure token (except for the card NFTs that will be sold for HIVE).
Example: A player may earn 100 treasure tokens in a match but opt to spend 500 for a 24-hour + 1 buff to their treasure earning, so they can earn more over the next 24 hours.
This sort of in-game spending and buyback, we believe, will lead to good in-game commerce and a healthy economy.
We do want to give power to the people of the realm.
We would love you as a fan and a friend of the project!
If we sell all the pre-sale tokens, 50% of the sale would be powered up to start claiming account tokens and running community events.
The other 50% would be sold, and we would use those funds to pay for initial hosting and other much-needed equipment/skills/BEE tokens to take the project to the next phase.
We will also discuss other initial start-up funding if you have ideas!
We are on the ground floor here. Lol.
As we get ready to move into the next phase of the product, the listing of cards for sale, we are looking to work with someone to assist with marketing and community growth.
Some of the ask would be:
Marketing lead
As part of the team, you will earn a percentage of initial card sales (as the rest of the initial team has agreed to), and when we move into the more traditional business model with secure funding, you will be offered a paid position.
If you are interested, please get in touch with me on Discord ( jacuzzi#5037 ) to discuss more.
Every single day brings us closer to seeing our dreams come true! Every sunrise sparks hope and every sunset reminds us that we are one day closer to making this idea a reality. We may have our doubts, but if we persist and stay focused, we can make anything happen! With each step we take, we come closer and closer to achieving our goal. So, let us keep believing and pushing forward, willing to take on whatever obstacles come our way. If we remain determined, our vision will become a reality one day at a time!
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more updates as they are ready!
Cheers~
