Hello to Pixelians and Earthlings alike. Features continue to roll out on the now live Rise of the Pixels game here on Hive. We'll quickly cover Seasons, Gadgets, and other updates.
RotP Seasons
Modelled after our Launch contests, Seasons are 10-day recurring events that track in-game actions and award points to Players. You can check your point total on the Leaderboard. After a 10-day period, an automatic raffle will happen, where 1 point = 1 raffle ticket.
🎟 Earning tickets is simple: just play the game! Specifically, we will award tickets as follows:
- For time spent creating games,
0.5tickets for every 3 hours (max 4 tickets for a 24 hour game). - Completing research: Mark One gives
0.5tickets • Mark Two:1.0• Mark Three+:2.0 - Any training:
0.5tickets - Successful referrals:
10tickets - Best game of the day (solo and small teams):
5tickets
🎁 Prizing will evolve as we test the system and get community feedback. For Season 1 (ending May 24, 2024 9:00 AM UTC), we will raffle off:
- $PXL tokens (which will be purchased from the Hive Engine market)
- Gadget Cases 😮
🎲 Gadget Cases
These new openable packs contain special accessories, RotP consumable items, as well as finite "reaction" objects.
Season 1 winners will be able to obtain these Gadget Cases but they will not be openable until we finalize the goodies they contain (we're actively working on it). As a teaser though:
- Special accessories can boost your NFT Workers even further.
- Consumables will give Players all sorts of temporary boosts or abilities.
- Game Reactions are cosmetics that will allow you to show appreciation (or vote) on other Players' creations...
Join our Discord to be among the first to know when these new items are live, and even help us come up with ideas for them!
