More About Alien Worlds?

Alien Worlds is a decentralized metaverse running primarily on the WAX blockchain but also has connections with the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain blockchains. At its core, it is a strategic, exploratory, and competitive platform that allows players to earn rewards in the form of Trilium ($TLM), the game's native cryptocurrency.

By participating in various activities such as mining and completing missions, players can acquire TLM and use it to control competing Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), stake for governance, or purchase NFTs that represent digital land, tools, weapons, and more. 

Web2 and Web3 Developers 

The initiative seeks to provide a sustainable business model for developers in both web2 and web3 gaming spheres. Galactic Hubs specifically targets indie game developers interested in merging Alien Worlds' lore with their gameplay, incorporating Alien Worlds NFTs to offer a unique twist to existing games.

Game Genres

Interested developers are encouraged to explore a variety of game genres for integration, including Berzerk, Endless Runner, Gallery Shooter, Never Ending Dungeon, Fallout 3 Hacking, Autochess, and Tower Defense. Each genre presents opportunities for creative interpretation and integration with the Alien Worlds universe.

Trilium ($TLM) Tokens

One of the primary benefits for developers joining the Alien Worlds ecosystem is the ability to leverage the existing Trilium ($TLM) token. Developers can utilize Trilium ($TLM) tokens to reward players within their games and cover operational costs such as server maintenance, content updates, and community management.

Additionally, games integrated into the Alien Worlds ecosystem will be featured on the Alien Worlds games portal, providing increased visibility and access to players within the community. For developers interested in participating or seeking further details, the Alien Worlds website serves as the central hub for information regarding the grants program and integration process.

This initiative marks a significant step in expanding the reach and depth of the Alien Worlds metaverse, offering developers an exciting opportunity to engage with a vibrant community and leverage the unique features of the Alien Worlds ecosystem.

How to Get Started Playing Alien Worlds?

1. Create a Wallet: To begin, players need to create a WAX wallet. This wallet will be used to store TLM and NFTs acquired within the game. Alien Worlds' web browser login also has a built-in feature that leads the player to create a WAX wallet.
2. Acquire a Starter Pack: New players are provided with a starter pack containing a basic avatar and a shovel tool. This kit is essential for starting your mining journey in Alien Worlds.
3. Choose a Planet: The metaverse consists of several planets, each governed by its DAO. Players must choose a planet to start mining TLM.
4. Start Mining: Use your shovel to mine for Trilium on your chosen planet. Mining success and rewards depend on the type of land and tools you possess. Players interested in acquiring more game assets for further game progress might be interested in purchasing tools, lands, and other assets on the Marketplace.
5. Participate in Governance: By staking TLM to a planet, players can become members of that planet's DAO, allowing them to vote on governance issues and influence the planet's development.
