💥 Company Updates 💥


Words From Wizards with Farpetrad - Land

  • Launching Land 0.5
    • Static map with a region/territory legend so people can figure out where their plots live in Praetoria.
    • Redeem your plot/region/tract claim tokens for individual "un-surveyed" deeds
    • Location won't matter as much as the quality of the plot
    • Market functionality after the new year


  • 1.0 will bring surveying
    • Code is almost ready
    • Will be able to take deed and see its rarity whether it is magical, occupied etc. or see if you own a Castle or Keep.

Words From Wizards with Matt - Land

  • Land is one of the biggest things we've ever done

    • A game within a game
    • DEC is core to the economy of the game
    • Next 6-9 months - buildings and resources
    • Land is one of our top priorities

  • Economy of the game:

    • Over the last 6 months we really figured out how to make the economy of the game work
    • An awesome plan that just takes time to build
    • DEC - more stable valued currency
    • All additional value goes into SPS through the burn mechanism
    • This is innovative - a different way of building a stable token
    • It all comes down to demand for DEC - land will bring this

  • How DEC will be used in the land expansion

    • When phase one is out - surveying - option to spend DEC to increase chances of getting more rare plots and resources - the DEC will be burned which goes to benefit everyone in the ecosystem - that's where the value comes from.

  • Keeps and Castles

    • Magical hubs that connect all the land areas
    • Marketplaces will happen through the keeps and castles
    • The owners will benefit via fees
    • Everyone will manage their resources for different tracts and regions this way
    • Trading across different areas
    • It will be better to concentrate your plots in the same area so that you don't have to work through so many different castles all over the map

  • There will be opportunity for automation

    • Claiming rewards
    • Adding to a liquidity pool
    • Building options - upgrades
    • Storage for resources

  • Future - travel and transportation

  • End goal of land - the land is not just about showing off - it will actually produce assets...cards that players will need assets for which there is real demand


Guilds and Brawls with Cryptomancer

  • Just begun to tap the potential
  • A new project for brawls and tournaments - changing from editions to introducing card sets

  • Sets will organize by type of border rather than the specific edition of the card
  • So you will be able to use your Chaos legion reward and promo cards in the modern format
  • Same concept will apply to Brawls

Brawlhalla with Weirdbeard

  • Talking to players to get suggestions on what to build next
  • Creating a backlog that we can implement
  • Battle Pass idea is getting traction in the company
    • A way to be rewarded for already playing the game
    • Gets people to interact with parts of the game they normally don't interact with
    • Increases the fun factor
    • An achievement system
    • Lasts an entire season
    • Inexpensive


More Words From Wizards with Matt

  • Soulbound set of reward cards
    • Not sellable....moving away from farming and more about building up your card collection
    • Bots won't be able to farm
    • Increase your account over time
    • Will be harder to get these cards and get them to max level
    • You can only get these cards by playing
    • This makes people want to play more
    • More player agency - makes the game more skill based
  • New player experience - season rentals
    • Show players a simple option to rent an entire collection of bronze level cards
    • Highlight the fact that renting goes to other players - can make people want to own assets to rent as well
    • Improve the tutorials

  • Guild alliances - a higher level where guilds can ally together
    1. Will help with larger groups that we want to bring in the game

    2. Opportunity for more DEC sinks. More benefits if you donate assets to your guild.

  • Increased use of Gladiator cards - currently specific to brawls - create a new ruleset where people can use Gladiator cards
  • Around the Rebellion time - A new ruleset idea to add more than 6 cards to your team
  • Working on the roadmap for all these things to put out next year
