Building a 2nd Game in Clockwork Universe: Clockwork Evolved
Some of you already know about Clockwork, my spin on Splinterlands autobattler formula that runs on Immutable zkEVM. Game is live and well in open beta stage, all the features are in. Beta game state is still there because game still needs some balancing to do, that is something I can do well with some decent amount of players, players are hard to get in these market conditions. So while waiting for players I decided to build on Clockwork foundations, a 2nd game inspired by legendary Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Clockwork Evolved is also a browser game and Im really pushing limits what a browser game can do.
With Clockwork Evolved naturally players are more engaged with gameplay, I introduced 5 story chapters that explains this wild setting of Steampunk tech and Lovecraftian horrors. There are also non story related battle scenarios, 5 unique factions, each with 14 units and a Titan. There are spells to cast, Items and Artifacts to find, explore the map, gather resources and build your city. Heroes have their unique abilities and they gain new abilities and stats that buff your armies as they gather experience and level up. Any player who played Heroes will feel right at home with my game.
Well how is it an NFT Web3 game you ask? All NFTs from Clockwork are playable in Clockwork Evolved. So in free to play version of the game you can build base unit types, if you own their upgraded version card in your wallet then you can upgrade that unit into its stronger version (base version of units can still finish and win maps and story missions). Simple concept that increases the value of NFTs from the base game. No tokens, pure NFT utility. 1 NFT used in 2 different games. If your cards are leveled up they transfer their levels into Clockwork Evolved.
Most interesting part about this is that you can play Clockwork right now, you can build a collection and very soon use that collection in Clockwork Evolved. All you need is Immutable wallet which only requires email for login, game packs can be bought for IMX, Hive or HBD, individual cards can be bought on ingame marketplace for now just with IMX.
Game images are still early and subjected to change. Share this and join my Clockwork multiverse.
