Dev Update — Gaming and Education
First of all we would like to say thank you to everyone who has stayed the course in light of everything crazy going down in the crypto market. We have absolute respect for each one you and seeing how well our tokens have held up to other more prominent tokens in the space is a breath of fresh air. Let’s get to some fun updates!
Staking
Just a quick update on Staking. As some of you have noticed we have crossed over 35million $ATK staked! We couldn’t be happier about this and early in the new year we will be releasing farming and other opportunities through this site as well. If you haven’t participated yet then head to https://staking.attackwagon.com and get earning today!
Arcade
Our arcade has taken on new life. We originally built the arcade as a means to allow our community to enjoy some basic fun games while we continue to build on our bigger projects BUT they have attracted some of attention in the space. We began mentioning to partner projects that we will be making our arcades available to white-label and re-skin as they see fit. Because of this we now have 10 waitlisted projects waiting on our initial white-label arcade release.
So, what does this mean? It means we have a little more work to do for release BUT it also means that our games will be helping support our tokens. When each project launches their white-labeled game we take a 5% fee of the tokens they send. These fees are taken in their token and exchanged for our tokens. This will provide liquidity, land revenues and also opportunities for larger future burns. We need to make sure these games are streamlined and ready for other projects to use them. The more success they have up front the more success our project will have as a whole.
Manaheart
Things are getting interesting for Manaheart.
As most of you know, Manaheart is Attack Wagon’s blockchain education tool. We are in the early stages of development for the game but we thought it would be fun to give you some looks at the early development and give you some ideas on the types of gameplay and mechanics around the game.
The game centers around Archon the Acolyte. Your adventure takes place in the Dying Lands. A darkness has corrupted what once was sacred. Now Archon must gather his friends and journey into the perilous wastes to gather treasures to heal the land.
Explore the dying lands, rid the world of evil and heal the Manaheart!
So how is this an educational tool?
We use in-game prompts and gamer terminology to subtly teach the basics of blockchain.
ie. For example you start your journey with nothing and have to gather the basic items any adventurer would need for their journey. Archon will find a backpack which will represent a crypto wallet. You place your items and treasures in this wallet for use. There will be enemies who want to steal your backpack. If you want to keep your items or treasures extra safe then you would add them to your hidden treasure chest(cold wallet) and not tell anyone where to find them.
This product has been a hit amongst investors and other projects looking for great tools to use to better equip their communities and followers. We plan on being at the forefront of crypto education guiding new web3 users and young people alike in understanding blockchain technology.
Game Roll-outs & Marketing
We’ve had many of you ask why we haven’t put As most of you have seen through this bear market we have been very conservative with our marketing/advertising and spending any money where it is not absolutely needed. This is purposeful as we want to make sure our games make the biggest splash possible and not just falls on deaf ears. Some of the best advice we’ve been given from our advisory board is “Advertise in a green market, build in a red”. We plan to stick with this model as we finalize and shape each of our products.
Now, this doesn’t mean we aren’t marketing and doing all we can to get our name out there. We are continuing to make partnerships, run competitions, and speaking at every opportunity we have to continue to build the Attack Wagon name. We have had many speaking opportunities lately and we are very grateful for them.
New Advisors
Last but certainly not least… we have been in talks with a handful of new advisors with decades of experience in the video game industry. Capcom, EA and Atari veterans. Over the next few weeks we will be filling out the contracts to bring them on as advisors and announce each person as the ink dries. We are excited to bring more info on this very soon.
Scrap Guilds
But what about Scrap Guilds?
We are still hard at work on Scrap Guilds bringing this game to life. Everything is coming along nicely in development but there is still work to be done before the Alpha release of the game. It’s not a sexy update but the work being done now isn’t the sexiest part of the job either. We hope to bring you more on Scrap Guilds soon as we get closer to an alpha ready version but in the mean time if you haven’t yet watched the trailer for Scrap Guilds yet then check it out here:
