🌒 Mega Moon Monday: July 2023
Happy Moon Monday to all the beautiful Wolvez and Gapes 🐺🦧 across the galaxy. As the non-fungible world seems to be crumbling all around us, there are a few steadfast builders still showing no signs of stopping…
We’ve been hard at work making improvements and new features across the Game and they’re ready to see the light of day. Let’s dig in 👇
📝 tl:dr
- Troops: build armies of mercenaries to bring on Base Raids and defeat previously impenetrable Homebases!
- Troop Machines: build and upgrade Troop Machines to unlock more powerful versions of your Troops
- Battle Royale: a brand new winner-takes-all game mode where we all fight to the death! (in final testing stages)
- Profile Control Upgrades: We’re upgrading your Settings and Profile portal to give you more control, and allowing us to add new features more easily
- Better Onboarding: We’ve lowered requirements for new players getting started with Objectives, and have added new instructional UI to help people find their way around
- Newly Indexed Projects: From Tyranz to Chimpers, Nakamigos to Reepz, stack your Squad with some of your new favorite collectibles!
- New Website underway: We have begun the journey towards a stunning new Website that combines the Wolvez, the Game, the Galactic Apes, and upcoming developments like The Blobs and Stardust.
🤺 Troops & Troop Machines
A brand new game mechanic allowing players to build armies of meddlesome mercs to bring on Base Raids — ranging from Super Swole Squad agents to Medics.
The corresponding Machine related to a particular Troop is upgradeable, allowing you to train more powerful versions. Note that each Level corresponds to greater power but also higher costs and time to train.
Here’s a break down of each:
Mercenary
Recruit Mercenary wolvez to create a fearless battalion of melee units. Note that upgrading your Merceneary Wolvez Hideout will unlock higher level Mercenaries, (the higher the level you choose, the higher the training cost).
Super Swole
These beastly figures are akin to a Melee Tank unit that will absorb damage for the rest of your army to do their best work.
Anti-Rat Squad (ARS)
The ARS department unlocks your ability to reign down terror from the skies — a ranged unit that pick off enemies while your Super Swoles keep them busy.
Medics
Although these Troops won’t help much in damaging an opponent’s machines, they will work tirelessly to heal other members of your Army while they fight the good fight.
And the key to it all… Barracks & Cadet Dorms
Similar to how the Mainframe works, the Barracks is your central hub for all things Troops related: the higher the level of your Barracks, the more upgrades you unlock.
As for Cadet Dorms, think of these as a place for your trained Troops to hangout — the higher the level, the more Troops you can train and bring with you on those epic raiding missions!
🔫 Battle Royale
A brand new mini-game is in the Final Testing stages and will be added into the Game in an upcoming patch.
But what is it? If you were around in the Allowlist phase of Star Wolvez, you’ll remember the days of Battle Royale — a cutthroat mini-game where players ready up before a battle of epic proportions unfolds until only one winner is left standing.
This will be our first move towards introducing more significant prizes into the pool that goes beyond just Resources including: NM-8 (animation) chips, Hoodies, NFTs, and ‘Raffle’ tickets (to be explained at a later date).
Metaverse HQ Machine
Any MVHQ holders out there? You’re in luck. The all-new Metaverse HQ building grants the owner quicker upgrade and build times as well as lower upgrade and build costs!
Pretty OP…
⚙️ Profile/Settings Upgrades
General housekeeping reporting for duty 🫡
A much needed upgrade is being pushed into production in an upcoming patch that gives you more control over your Settings and Profile. We’re excited about this one because it helps us to unlock UI space for future improvements like multi-wallet support, renaming yourself, and Alliances.
🆕 Better Onboarding and Lower Barrier to Entry
We’ve made our first set of upgrades to the onboarding process for new players that includes:
- Allowing people to complete Objectives without needing any NFTs yet (i.e. the ability to get a feel for the game, and start earning and deploying some Neon Gold and Space Elixir)
- New contextual prompts to help understand how to get started (i.e. doing Objectives, setting your Squad, and acquiring a Mainframe) (Please note that all players will see this on first login so don’t be alarmed!)
🤝 Newly Indexed Projects
We’re gearing up to go crazy with indexing projects into the Game — which can be both a long and processing intensive exercise—with 50 projects earmarked for indexing in the coming month.
Our goal has always to build an interoperable game that incorporates NFTs holders from all walks of life to jump into the Game and start playing with their favorite collectibles.
Most recently we have added the following friends:
- Chimpers
- Nakamigos
- Reepz
- Beasts Genesis
- XTREME PIXELS
- Utility Wen
- Ghost Child: Bones
In the Works
🖥️ New Website
Let’s be honest, we outgrew our current website a long time ago. We now have the glorious Galactic Apes and Monkes in the mix, a fully operational game, and a ton of cool stuff coming that all deserve their own space.
As for now, the Homepage is completed and we are working on pages for all of the different aspects of the ecosystem. It’s beautiful, it moves and unravels as your scroll and we can’t wait to roll it out!
Battle Pass
Finally, right?
Defense and Attack Logs
A way to go back through the history of your Base Raid activity—whether it’s a raid you undertook, or someone else’s attempt on your Homebase.
