<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>My Pet Hooligan takes web3 gaming up a notch and gives players creative freedom over their own experience and how they want to play the game. The core My Pet Hooligan gaming experience is encapsulated within the Interloop. The Rabbit Hole is an iterative and open world experience that sits in a wider Unreal Engine 5 metaverse architecture being built by AMGI Studios called Interloop.</p>
<p>The studio does an incredible job with their Hoolis, allowing users to motion capture themselves onto My Pet Hooligan characters and see their actions translated with detail.&nbsp;AMGI Studios aims to continuously build an interactive universe around the lovable but dangerous rabbits, and their latest Zuckbots attack is a step in a direction where The Rabbit Hole has more narrative for players to enjoy.</p>

<h2>Game Lore</h2>
<p>My Pet Hooligan is set in a world where anthropomorphic bunnies, once subjugated and forced to farm carrots, have risen against their oppressor, MetaZuckBot, the CEO of the nefarious ZuckCorp. These bunnies have transformed into Hooligans, each group forming distinct factions with unique ideologies and objectives. Some seek to disrupt their former overlord’s corporate empire, while others have been twisted by dark experiments to aid their former captor. Players are invited to choose a faction, such as the rogueish Punk Bunnis or the secretive Mutants, each offering unique gameplay experiences and strategic advantages in the overarching battle against ZuckCorp.</p>
<h2>Gameplay and Features</h2>
<p>My Pet Hooligan offers a variety of gameplay modes that cater to different player preferences and each one provides a unique experience.</p>

<p>Earlier this year, the game shifted from free to play to pay to play, priced at $9.99 for early access and $19.99 at full launch. Upcoming additions include mini games, extraction mechanics, cross chain payments, an AI chat system, and ZuckBots NFT companions.

<h2><b>1v1 Showdown</b></h2>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/900;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/mighty_action_heroes_new_image_8c7c4bdfb0/mighty_action_heroes_new_image_8c7c4bdfb0.jpg" alt="mighty action heroes new image.jpg" width="1600" height="900"></figure>

<p>The unique aspect of this game mode lies in its random rewards multiplier, adding an element of surprise and potential for substantial gains to each match. However, this also introduces a risk factor, as participants stand to lose their entry Gems if defeated. </p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/ui_challenge_match_morby_d52649649b/ui_challenge_match_morby_d52649649b.jpg" alt="ui_challenge_match_morby.jpg" width="1920" height="1080"></figure>

<p>The mode is accessible during specific, limited times, making each opportunity to compete highly anticipated. Matches are designed to be quick, lasting only 60 seconds, providing a fast-paced gaming experience that not only tests players' skills but also offers a rapid means to farm Gems. This player-versus-player (PvP) format emphasizes skill, strategy, and a bit of luck, appealing to those looking for a quick and engaging way to enhance their in-game resources, albeit with the inherent risk of losing their stake in the heat of battle.<br></p>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Big Time is&nbsp;a multiplayer action RPG where you team up with friends to adventure across time and space. Explore ancient mysteries and futuristic civilizations as you battle your way through history.</p>
<p>Every dungeon is procedurally generated, offering players precious NFT and non-NFT loot along their way while offering a special experience every time you boot up the game. Collect in-game items or hang out with friends with limitless environments and adventures that give you infinite replayability. </p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Big_Time_game_image_3_e490b3bb5e/Big_Time_game_image_3_e490b3bb5e.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AGCEtQAwdE9xo4qt0N3//01srQALYgAAVQAAWQAPYAAnZqMAN4EAN4Q9dLJyodR5q90mYaoaV6MARpRvoNMAo+z/r+v/m9Lwrtjr0vr/1Pr/3v//o9Puntb1ufT/AKd+h6qAhMObnZJ8h/XAuO6qoeylm8+Vk62YoX2gvwCKSlGyZWSvbW2XcHeNZ3GAbHmReYSRhpCqo6+rwtUAjHJ7lX+GZF9tnoiQiHyLsn2Aq4WKr3F15JSLt6euURtmMrikot8AAAAASUVORK5CYII="><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<p>You can queue up with a maximum of 6 players in your party, with different play styles to conquer dungeons. Each hosting various monsters lurking around it, with objectives you need to complete before facing the dungeon’s boss fight to gather resources, find rare collectible NFT items, and earn $BIGTIME tokens.</p>
<p>These objectives can vary from disarming bombs and collecting flowers to slaying certain types of enemies, which often drop clothing and armor items inspired by different time periods.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Players will first have to choose a starting class. Each player's experience differs based on the character class selected.  Pocketwatches allow players to switch between different classes. Pocketwatches for each class are used to save players’ progress as they level up.</p>
<h2>Classes</h2>
<p>En route to conquering dungeons and slaying monsters, you'll come across challenges and tasks that require specific skill sets to be victorious and succeed - here's a quick breakdown of each of these character classes:</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1500/537;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Big_time_6_classes_7cc40b7893.png" alt="" width="1500" height="537" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAECAIAAAA4WjmaAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAhUlEQVR4nGMItFTz1dfylRZRFtPSVDHTCTEPjY4pkMvsqGj+/f8bw9wk19o47xxXHT92kQAtg76s+K3d7TMjwtoz4ievnMeQYiAd62LsZ66ozcAgx8BrpCphq2Pk6+ZvZWojZ+LEoMjHIcXHIcXAwMDIziWowcbLKSAs7GrroqCqqaxlCAC0CR5HwkrL2AAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<ol><li><b>Time Warrior:&nbsp;</b>The Time Warrior is an aggressive, front-line fighter that wields melee weapons to deliver close-up carnage.</li><li><b>Chronomancer:&nbsp;</b>a powerful ranged damage class that uses magic to decimate its foes.</li><li><b>Quantum Fixer: </b>a<b>&nbsp;</b>masterful support class. Heal your allies, and bring misery to your enemies.</li><li><b>Shadowblade: </b>an agile and stealthy melee fighter, dealing death to those who stand in the way.</li><li><b>TechBlade: </b>a mix between the deadly Shadowblade class and the supportive skills of the Quantum Fixer. This class helps you heal your allies while also dealing significant damage.</li><li><b>BattleMancer: </b>a unique blend of the Chronomancer and the Time Warrior. Choose this class if you feel like going straight into the fray while also dealing elemental damage with your spells.</li></ol>
<h2>Enemies</h2>
<p>Defeating enemies across dungeons can provide you with collectable items and token rewards, with tougher boss fights typically stated as the secret behind the rare drops.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1400/648;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/674ea8afc206a14779c91e8116a6c5b9_6b17047e96/674ea8afc206a14779c91e8116a6c5b9_6b17047e96.png" alt="big-time-enemies.png" width="1400" height="648"><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<p>The game hosts a wide range of enemies from across time and various realms with large insects, robots and even a T-Rex standing in your way, each requiring a different approach to defeat and progress.</p>
<p>The studio is also constantly teasing and announcing new enemies and bosses to defeat, therefore the Big Time world promises endless replayability and challenging quests as the game development continues.</p>
<h2>Game Economy</h2>
<p>Diving into Big Time’s economy, it’s clear this isn’t your standard in-game economy. While most games like League of Legends or Fortnite have a straightforward approach where the game devs sell cosmetic items directly to players, Big Time flips the script. In this ecosystem, players have the power as the pivotal creators and traders of cosmetic items.&nbsp; These skins are digital collectibles that come with a finite supply, ensuring each item’s uniqueness and intrinsic value. Equipping certain items in the game can grant players access to exclusive game areas and portals.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1280/720;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/big_time_ingame_economy_468151f4ea/big_time_ingame_economy_468151f4ea.jpeg" alt="big-time-ingame-economy.jpeg" width="1280" height="720"><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<p>The $BIGTIME token is the core token of Big Time’s economy, these tokens are mostly available through gameplay. The scarcity of Hourglasses, necessary for producing $BIGTIME tokens, creates a fascinating dynamic. As the player community expands, the demand for $BIGTIME is poised to increase against a fixed supply, potentially elevating its value and impact within the game.</p>
<p>To understand the economic heartbeat of Big Time, let’s look at its value chain:</p>
<ul><li>Time Wardens are the creators of Hourglasses, essential for the generation of $BIGTIME tokens.</li><li>$BIGTIME Collectors use these Hourglasses to earn tokens through their gameplay adventures.</li><li>Crafting Aficionados (owners of Armories and Forges) utilize $BIGTIME tokens to craft Cosmetic Collectibles.</li><li>These collectibles are then made available on the <a href="https://openloot.com/marketplace?gameId=56a149cf-f146-487a-8a1c-58dc9ff3a15c" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">marketplace</a>, inviting a player-driven marketplace.</li></ul>
<p>Big Time's economy is considerably more complex, with Collectibles like Hourglasses and Workshops intricately linked to $BIGTIME and Time Crystals (a Web 2.0 currency). For more insights into this game's economy, feel free to visit our B<a href="https://gam3s.gg/big-time/guides/" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">ig Time guides</a>&nbsp;page.</p>
<h2>SPACE and Personal Metaverse</h2>
<p>Big Time's concept of a player base is called the Personal Metaverse, which can be expanded using Space NFTs. Players will receive their Personal Metaverse for free in the early stages of the game. and only the player and their friends can access their personal metaverse.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2406/1364;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/big_time_space_explained_45e8f068e3/big_time_space_explained_45e8f068e3.webp" alt="big-time-space-explained.webp" width="2406" height="1364"><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<p>On the other hand, SPACE is your personal piece of the game's virtual world. It's where you can build, decorate, and hang out with friends. Think of it as your own digital playground where you can connect workshops like Forges and Armories, and hunt for treasures like Cracked Hourglasses. You buy SPACE from the Open Loot Marketplace, and its rarity and size determine how much you can do with it, from how many workshops you can connect to the amount of decorations you can place.&nbsp;</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/1698;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/big_time_space_breakdown_38a044d8ad/big_time_space_breakdown_38a044d8ad.png" alt="big time space breakdown.png" width="1200" height="1698"><figcaption>Big Time</figcaption></figure>
<h3>Preseason Leaderboard Event</h3>
<p>Big Time's introduction of the $BIGTIME token, paired with a successful preseason <a href="https://gam3s.gg/big-time/guides/big-time-token-preseason-leaderboard-airdrop/" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">leaderboard event</a>, has led to the giveaway of 97,500,000 $BIGTIME tokens over three months. Participation begins with earning a point to enter the leaderboard, with multiple strategies to climb the ranks such as inviting friends, which grants you 50% of their points, alongside points for in-game achievements and crafting. The preseason phase is exclusive, operating on an invite-only basis, allowing players to extend invites to friends and earn bonus points based on their leaderboard success.</p>
<h3>Seasons</h3>
<p>Looking ahead, Big Time's global launch will introduce Seasons, offering a fresh influx of content that is expected to last every 90 to 180 days. Seasons will feature new cosmetic collectibles (both craftable and non-craftable), special events, and gameplay content, designed for both fun and competitive play.</p>
<p>Seasons highlights a community-wide race to craft a unique rarity cosmetic collectible, emphasizing collaboration and competition among players. Crafting these unique items requires accumulating thousands of lower-rarity collectibles, highlighting a joint effort of the Bigtime Players to finally craft the elusive Unique collectible</p>

<h2>Latest Updates (2025)</h2>
<p>In 2025, Big Time went fully free-to-play and open access, removing the invite-only barrier and making the experience available to all. The team also ran “Christmas in July”, a seasonal event with a 1.2 million $BIGTIME token prize pool, pushing players to complete challenges and rank on leaderboards.</p>
<p>The game’s core token mechanics are now clearer: $BIGTIME drops when you run dungeons with a charged Hourglass, and that token is then used in Forge / Armory to refine, craft, upgrade gear, and speed up timers. On the content side, the roadmap includes Seasons—periodic cycles introducing fresh collectible cosmetics, new gameplay, and competitive events every 3–6 months.</p>
<h2>How to Get Started</h2>
<p>Big Time is now free-to-play and fully available, so anyone can download and play right away. To get started, visit the official Big Time website and head to the <a href="https://www.bigtime.gg/download" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Download section</a>. You’ll be redirected to the Open Loot Launcher, which is the platform that hosts the game. Once the launcher is installed, sign in or create an account to begin your adventure through time.</p>
<p>After logging in, you’ll choose your first Pocket Watch, which defines your starting class and saves your progress. You can switch between Pocket Watches later to try different roles like the Time Warrior, Shadowblade, or Quantum Fixer. Jump into your first dungeon solo or with a group of up to five other players, take on randomized objectives, and defeat bosses for loot, cosmetics, and materials.</p>
<p>When you’re ready to build and craft, head to your Personal Metaverse, where you can connect workshops like the Forge or Armory to upgrade your gear. Players who equip a charged Hourglass can also earn $BIGTIME tokens directly from dungeon runs, which can then be used for refining, crafting, and speeding up upgrades. </p>

Best Casual Game

pixels cover.jpg

<h2>Overview</h2><p data-start="533" data-end="1006">Pixels is a browser-based farming and life-sim game that focuses on steady skill progression, resource gathering, and building a personal identity in a shared online world. The game is playable directly on browsers without needing to download anything, and players can join immediately with a simple account. The overall tone of the world is relaxed and cozy, but progression exists in the form of farming efficiency, crafting unlocks, cooking improvements, and land upgrades. The core idea behind Pixels is that the time and effort players invest in the game can be reflected in how their farms, skills, and identities grow.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW0UfAj0riU"><iframe style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jW0UfAj0riU" width="560" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></figure><h2 data-start="1706" data-end="1718">Game Lore</h2><p data-start="1720" data-end="2049">Pixels takes place in the <strong data-start="1746" data-end="1765">Pixels Universe</strong>, a world built from floating landmasses and farming zones connected through small towns, outposts, and traveling paths. Life in the Pixelverse revolves around tending land, gathering resources, trading with others, and uncovering the stories of the characters who populate the world. Story progression comes mainly through <strong data-start="2090" data-end="2100">quests</strong>. These quests introduce players to key regions and characters while gradually revealing more about how the world is structured and how its systems connect. The lore is not presented as a linear storyline but instead through interactions, recurring NPCs, and slow narrative developments tied to seasonal updates.</p><p data-start="2414" data-end="2755">Players start as newcomers who are still learning how to work with the land. Over time, they learn to care for crops, raise animals, craft tools, and interact with the local community. As the world expands, new areas and updates add more context to the universe, including how resources, land, and identity function in a shared social space.</p><h2>Gameplay and Features&nbsp;</h2><p data-start="3146" data-end="3473">Farming is the central activity in Pixels. Players plant crops, water them, wait for them to grow, and harvest them for resources. Crops are used to make food, complete quests, and trade with other players. Farming efficiency increases as the player gains experience, unlocks new crop types, and upgrades tools or land layouts.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1552/989;" src="https://img.decrypt.co/insecure/rs:fit:3840:0:0:0/plain/https://cdn.decrypt.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/pixels-game-03.jpg@webp" alt="Should You Play Ethereum Farming Game 'Pixels' If You Don't Care About  Crypto? - Decrypt" width="1552" height="989"><figcaption>Pixels</figcaption></figure><p data-start="3475" data-end="3815">Alongside farming, players gather <strong data-start="3509" data-end="3559">wood, soil, stone, and other natural materials</strong>. Some resource types are more common, while others require travel to specific areas or working on certain types of land. Progression in Pixels often revolves around unlocking the ability to gather more types of resources at a faster or more reliable rate.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1753/808;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/pixels_gameplay_3_5c3de07bf5/pixels_gameplay_3_5c3de07bf5.jpeg" alt="pixels gameplay 3.jpeg" width="1753" height="808"><figcaption>Pixels</figcaption></figure><p data-start="3843" data-end="4044">Pixels includes a <strong data-start="3861" data-end="3879">Cooking system</strong>, where players combine ingredients to create meals and drinks with different effects. These can restore energy, speed up gathering, or support longer play sessions.</p><p data-start="4046" data-end="4375">There is also a <strong data-start="4062" data-end="4085">Woodcrafting system</strong>, which allows players to craft furniture, tools, and decorative items. Crafting recipes often require <strong data-start="4188" data-end="4202">Blueprints</strong>, which can be found, earned, discovered through gameplay, or occasionally given out during events. Some crafted items have practical uses, while others are purely cosmetic.<br><br>Players develop skills simply by using them. The more someone farms, crafts, cooks, fishes, or mines, the stronger their character becomes in those areas. This progression provides a long-term sense of improvement without overwhelming complexity. The pacing is intentionally relaxed and focuses on gradual improvement over time.<br><br>The early portion of the game is guided by <strong data-start="4807" data-end="4825">Chapter Quests</strong>, which introduce core systems in a structured way. These quests help new players learn the world layout, understand farming loops, and unlock new mechanics without needing a tutorial wall of text. As players progress, quests become more open-ended and offer optional long-term goals.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1494/756;" src="https://cdn.skymavis.com/mavis-hub/assets/1733300066-image2009.png" alt="Ronin Market | Pixels Farm Land" width="1494" height="756"><figcaption>Pixels</figcaption></figure><p data-start="5138" data-end="5184">There are multiple ways to interact with land:</p><div class="_tableContainer_1rjym_1"><div class="group _tableWrapper_1rjym_13 flex w-fit flex-col-reverse" tabindex="-1"><figure class="table"><table class="w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)" data-start="5186" data-end="5608"><thead data-start="5186" data-end="5221"><tr data-start="5186" data-end="5221"><th data-start="5186" data-end="5198" data-col-size="sm">Land Type</th><th data-start="5198" data-end="5212" data-col-size="md">Description</th><th data-start="5212" data-end="5221" data-col-size="md">Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody data-start="5256" data-end="5608"><tr data-start="5256" data-end="5361"><td data-start="5256" data-end="5281" data-col-size="sm"><strong data-start="5258" data-end="5280">Free Land (Specks)</strong></td><td data-start="5281" data-end="5330" data-col-size="md">Basic starter plots used for farming practice.</td><td data-start="5330" data-end="5361" data-col-size="md">Limited yield and features.</td></tr><tr data-start="5362" data-end="5476"><td data-start="5362" data-end="5380" data-col-size="sm"><strong data-start="5364" data-end="5379">Rented Land</strong></td><td data-start="5380" data-end="5415" data-col-size="md">Larger plots leased from others.</td><td data-start="5415" data-end="5476" data-col-size="md">Better yield but requires giving up part of each harvest.</td></tr><tr data-start="5477" data-end="5608"><td data-start="5477" data-end="5505" data-col-size="sm"><strong data-start="5479" data-end="5504">Owned Land (NFT Land)</strong></td><td data-start="5505" data-end="5560" data-col-size="md">Player-controlled land with long-term upgrade paths.</td><td data-start="5560" data-end="5608" data-col-size="md">Supports advanced farming and customization.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure></div></div><p data-start="5610" data-end="5871">Not every player needs to own land.

Deadrop.jpg

<h2>The studio behind this game has abandoned the title and no longer shares any updates. The information on this page is as of the latest public information.</h2>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Deadrop, formerly known as "Project Moon," is an upcoming game developed by Midnight Society. It is a Vertical Extraction Shooter (VES) that blends the level design of an arena shooter with the scale of a Battle Royale and the strategic gameplay of an extraction shooter. Players can compete for the best drops or try to extract with their life and gear. The game is being developed transparently by Midnight Society's team of industry veterans and the community. Deadrop is expected to be a AAA game.</p>

<p>In 2020.b, 40 years after the Climate Wars began, population and pollution levels have surged, leading to the construction of massive self-governed city-states called REFINER STATES. These towers extract toxins from the stratosphere and export a concentrated form, known as SPACE DUST, which is highly addictive to the surrounding urban population. The lucrative trade of DUST has led to competing factions of Skins and Syns occupying the REFINER STATES, fighting against the Cleaners who operate the towers in a constant struggle for resources and gear.</p>
<h2>Vertical Extraction</h2>
<p>Deadrop takes a unique direction towards the battle royale genre, identifying the game's genre as a Vertical Extraction Shooter. An extraction shooter is a player versus player versus environment raid game, similar to Escape from Tarkov or Hunt: Showdown. In this type of game, players keep any loot they acquire during a successful match, but lose all of their equipment if they die. The term "vertical" refers to the game being set in a high-rise structure.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2000/974;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Deadrop_world_0d0df86ebf/Deadrop_world_0d0df86ebf.jpeg" alt="Deadrop world.jpeg" width="2000" height="974"></figure>
<p>According to a Midnight Society blog post, their primary gameplay objective is to combine the level design of arena shooters with the large-scale player count of battle royale games, along with the extraction-based gameplay mechanics found in games like Escape from Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Variants</h2>
<p>Each member of the Midnight Society possesses a distinct persona that is expressed through their VisorCortex, which also determines their rarity. In addition to their unique personality, Variants are equipped with exclusive armor, Call Signs, weapons, and backgrounds, making them unmatched in the world of Midnight Society. As night falls over The City, you approach your table and pick up your dark VisorCortex. With a magnetic force, you connect it to your visor's port, and it instantly comes to life, crackling with electric power. You put on the visor, and once again, you feel like your true self.</p>
<p>As a member of the Midnight Society, you will have a one-of-a-kind call sign and VisorCortex that you can call your own. By getting a Founder's Pass, you can enjoy a range of benefits that come with it. One of them is early access to game builds and weapon tests, allowing you to have a say in the development of the game. You will also have voting rights on game features, ensuring that your voice is heard.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/900;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Deadrop_agents_43fc254b43/Deadrop_agents_43fc254b43.jpg" alt="Deadrop agents.jpg" width="1600" height="900"></figure>
<p>As a Deadrop Founder Pass holder, you will have exclusive access to studio events, allowing you to get an inside look at how the game is made. Additionally, you will have first dibs on merchandise and future VisorCortex drops, giving you an edge over other players. Finally, you will have early access to Industry Guilds via The Eyes, giving you a head start in the game.<br></p>
<h2>Recent Updates&nbsp;</h2>
<p>DEADROP recently unveiled a teaser for a new game mode named Midnight Ride, which combines elements of car racing with shooter mechanics, offering a unique and thrilling experience. For their 2024 plans, the development team at DEADROP is shifting its focus towards more behind-the-scenes work, enhancing the game's visuals, implementing a quests and contracts system, and ensuring console certification to comply with rigorous release standards.&nbsp;</p>

Shrapnel Logo.jpg

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>The web3 gaming scene has an abundance of first-person and third-person shooters, with Undead Blocks, EV.IO, MetaOps, and many others leading the genre. This doesn’t mean there is no room for one more that can blow everyone away. Shrapnel steps in with a lot of inspiration from Tom Clancy’s The Division and promises to offer an unparalleled moddable AAA FPS game entirely on chain, using new capabilities to empower players to collectively own the game and its future roadmap.</p>
<figure class="media">
           <div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Zb2tvERAfI">
            <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Zb2tvERAfI" width="560" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
           </div>
          </figure>
<p>From the very beginning, Shrapnel has been vocal about offering its community a rich set of player-creation tools, combining combat, creation, curation, and connection into a community where players own the platform and act as an endless content pipeline for the game. In essence, this offers Shrapnel endless replayability as user-generated content backed by a strong community of creators can go a long way.</p>
<h2>The Zone</h2>
<p>Shrapnel pits players against each other in The Zone, where they fight over who can reach and extract the various valuable resources found around the area. Considering the importance of your mission, it is only natural for everyone to be hostile on sight. Prior to entering The Zone, you will be able to kit out your Operator with the necessary equipment, weapons, and loadout to complete the extraction.</p>
<figure class="media">
           <div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KNTVpHT-Xgk">

           </div>
          </figure>

<p>It is not as easy as it sounds as you might never see any of the gear you have equipped on your character again. Shrapnel offers all its gear components as NFTs, and the gear you begin the game with is lost once you die during the match. It is not as easy as it sounds because even after the kill, the loot isn’t fully secured yet.</p>
<p>The loot is yours to keep only after you have successfully kept it with you all the way through the match and took it with you to the extraction point. This makes you think twice before committing to any challenge or any enemy encounter you have in Shrapnel.</p>
<h2>Operators</h2>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:900/528;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/shrapnel_operators_a7c8c31f57/shrapnel_operators_a7c8c31f57.png" alt="shrapnel operators.png" width="900" height="528"></figure>
<p>Players can choose one of three Operator classes: Assault, Survivalist, or Infosec. Each one of them boasts a unique set of special abilities that can come in handy during battle. Depending on your playstyle, you can select the closest class to your preference and adjust it accordingly with the diverse equipment and gear available at your disposal.</p>
<p>Four main elements will decide the strength of your operator; Weapons, Armor, Consumables, and Technology. The below list breaks down each into more detail:</p>
<ul><li><b>Weapons</b>: Players may disassemble weapons for parts that they can use to craft customized weapons</li><li><b>Armor</b>: Armor provides defensive bonuses as well as utilities. Can choose armor from different sets.</li><li><b>Consumables</b>: These single-use items, such as grenades and med kits, are not tokenized, so they are not tradable with other players.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Technology</b>: Night-vision goggles, information-gathering devices, and other technological advancements assist players but are not consumed on use.</li></ul>
<h2>How to Get Started</h2>
<p>SHRAPNEL is currently in its Early Access phase. To start playing, you can gain entry by purchasing one of the SHRAPNEL <a href="https://www.shrapnel.com/marketplace/products/extraction-packs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Extraction Packs</a>, which come in three paid tiers. Each tier offers unique benefits, including exclusive in-game content, special perks, and bonus items to enhance your gameplay experience.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Parallel Studios is developing a trading card game called Parallel, which operates on the play-and-earn principle and utilizes NFTs. The game is being built within a decentralized ecosystem established by the Echelon Prime Foundation (Echelon).&nbsp;</p><p>The game's storyline is set in a dystopian future where Earth has become uninhabitable due to a cataclysmic tragedy known as "The Event," caused by a new form of fission using anti-matter as fuel. The radiation from this event forced humanity to flee to space, splitting into three expeditions to Mars, Europa, and the outskirts of the asteroid belt.</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fIw_kHqE2Rw"><iframe style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fIw_kHqE2Rw" width="560" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></figure><p>Thousands of years later, as each parallel of humanity prospered in their respective locations, they discovered that Earth had become a planet of pure, harvestable energy due to the maturation process sparked by "The Event." The other Parallels sought to return and claim the riches of Earth's newfound energy, resulting in inevitable conflict as they had been isolated from each other since "The Event."</p><p>Despite the ruin caused by the old humanity, they unknowingly sparked the next technological age, making Earth safe for all life once again.

The game revolves around the Parallel Studio's NFT collection, which focuses on the five factions or Parallels that make up the game's narrative. Players compete against each other using decks of collectible NFTs, and the game operates on the play-and-earn principle, with players owning the NFTs and deriving value from them through staking, card sharing, market activity rewards, and other means.</p><p>The game rewards players with PRIME tokens, which are the utility tokens of the Echelon ecosystem and can be used for value transfer, rewards currency, and governance participation. To play the game, players need at least one complete deck consisting of 40 cards, which can belong to a single Parallel or a combination of Universal cards that can be used in all decks.</p><p>The game features several modes, including The Ladder, where players face off against each other one-on-one, and Sectors, which allows players to build an initial 30-card deck and progress to the next battle if they win, with the option to replace some cards within the deck. The rookie queue is a training ground for new players, with access to immutable rookie decks that can be customized as they progress.</p><p>If you're familiar with traditional trading card games like Hearthstone, you'll find that Parallel incorporates classic TCG mechanics with its own unique twist. The game features a variety of keywords and abilities that may remind seasoned players of those classic dynamics, yet it brings fresh strategic depth and challenges to the table. Abilities like "Assault" supercharge units like the Unseen Commando after dishing out damage to opponents, while "Armed" gives units the upper hand by letting them strike first in combat. "Defender" allows units to block incoming attacks, safeguarding your key players. The "Muster" ability kicks in when a unit hits the field, ramping up your strategic options. There are also "Pacifist" units that, although they can't attack, can still defend if paired with the right abilities. "Decay" adds a layer of strategy with a ticking damage effect from Earthen cards, and "Attuned" toggles units between active and dormant states, creating timing challenges. Lastly, "Shielded" units dodge the next targeted effect, potentially thwarting your opponent's plans.</p><h2>NFTs and Blockchain&nbsp;</h2><p>Parallel sets itself apart in the trading card game (TCG) landscape by harnessing the power of blockchain technology, which not only empowers players with genuine ownership of their digital assets but also offers unprecedented freedom in trading these assets. At the core of Parallel's appeal are its cards, which players can buy, sell, and trade on the game's dedicated <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://parallel.life/cards">marketplace </a>using the in-game currency, $PRIME. Each card is distinct, featuring various levels of rarity and cosmetic effects.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1902/827;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/parallel_cards_c7033b7965/parallel_cards_c7033b7965.png" alt="" width="1902" height="827" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAECAIAAAA4WjmaAAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAAAh0lEQVR4nAF8AIP/AAQDBxwbGUNHPY2VoJRdWZ1SQHF4b76Ban5hXGBXWQAUExQ5OTaFiIWBfn1YOTlgMy1gX1ZaQz9TQURQRkkACxkhIS43Lz1Kp6qxiWVTJiwnQFRTlKOlgJGTYWhmAC4/T0pVaUVRXu/+/4ViWFZNQIGkoGFtbU5VVUFDQc85KybsEdvkAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"></figure><p>In addition to cards, Parallel has other collectibles.

These Keys can dramatically affect gameplay; for example, some increase $PRIME earnings, grant access to exclusive content, or provide additional strategic options during matches. This includes the Overclock Key, which rewards win streaks with more $PRIME, and the Multifold Key, which amplifies the effects of NFTs in your deck.</p><h2 data-start="130" data-end="159">Latest Game Updates (2025)</h2><p data-start="161" data-end="619">Throughout 2025, Parallel focused on making the game easier to start and more meaningful to play long-term. The starter progression was reworked so new players unlock Paragons and faction tools just by playing matches, letting them build functional decks without needing NFTs. Parallel League continued to evolve into the core competitive mode, with ranked seasons that clearly track improvement and seasonal rewards tied to performance rather than grinding.</p><p data-start="621" data-end="1144">On the competitive side, the year was defined by the Parallel Prime Championship circuit. The season opened with the championship event in Las Vegas and continued through a structured calendar of Opens, Minors, and Majors across the year. Smaller Opens provided accessible entry points for emerging players, Minors served as stepping stones, and Majors offered the biggest prize pools and direct qualification paths. The system made it easier to follow storylines, rising players, and faction trends throughout each season.</p><p data-start="1146" data-end="1576">PRIME rewards and NFT-related bonuses were also rebalanced to keep the economy stable and competitive integrity intact.

Champions Ascension Cover.png

<h2>Overview</h2>

The game brings with it a high stakes adventure <a href="https://gam3s.gg/genres/fighting/" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">fighting </a>gameplay and rich lore of the characters living within Massina's world.&nbsp;Engage in gladiatorial combat as your chosen Champion strives to bring glory to his or her House in Massina. Whether you become forgotten in the Ministry of Bone, or ascend as an Eternal, your fate will be determined by violent clashes between the essences themselves.&nbsp;</p>
<figure class="media">

<p>Develop your own story, and influence Massina. Collect, train, equip, and manage your own stable of brave and brutal gladiators.&nbsp;In Massina, they worship the god of combat. Blood on the sand symbolizes sacrifice, as legends are made in the Colosseum Eternal. With taverns, games, adventure, and political intrigue, you will be able to make new allies, venture into Massina, and experience an immersive world.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Champions NFTs</h2>
<p>The world of Massina revolves around Champions NFTs. Players will start off new characters as grunts and have to ascend them to challenger, gladiator and finally the eternal tier where they can become an NFT.&nbsp; As you fight in the arena, you will earn essence and other resources needed to level-up and ascend your champion. Players can also earn Gold through arena victories and holding Prime Eternal NFTs. This currency is key to various in-game activities, from summoning Grunts to crafting Essence Crystals.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1280/720;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Ilgra_Ascension_GIF_6493ebd648/Ilgra_Ascension_GIF_6493ebd648.gif" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/ACQXBzwqGlxLOmRnVFxMO1xKPpR9Xm5WNmlQMVpCIwBKOSJJNSBCOzOJinaScVB/ZVy/n4lKOycVBwIcEQAADQAAEQEANi0rk459pXdRhF1KzbSnVkIyFwAAGw8CAB4QACYWAC0qK6SpfsarU6B5RL6jl1ZALCkSAB8QAAA0JiI/NSpOaGC3zJX//5L/56LWq5uQcF9NNicyJyUAIy03TmBqVXeEYW1ncVIsh2M9xIxsqXJWeFVHRTU07v47yZgAPn0AAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure>
<p>Due to the fact that each part contributes to the Champion's abilities differently, this makes battles always feel fresh, as each Champion will be able to gain or lose different advantages based on the Family and Class it belongs to, as well as the essences of its parts. In addition to 12 Families, there are 6 Classes, 2 Families per Class, and 7 Essences that each Champion derives its power from. Their breakdown can be found below:</p>
<h5>Essence</h5>
<ul><li>Life</li><li>Arcane</li><li>Death</li><li>Fire</li><li>Water</li><li>Earth</li><li>Air</li></ul>
<h5>Class</h5>
<ul><li>Demon</li><li>Beast</li><li>Celestial</li><li>Humanoid</li><li>Dragonkind</li><li>Undead</li></ul>
<h5>Evolution</h5>
<ul><li>Challenger</li><li>Gladiator</li><li>Eternal</li><li>Prime Eternal</li></ul>
<p>The Prime Eternal are the highest tier of champions and what all players in Champions Ascension should strive to have. They are a collection of 7622 NFTs that are all unique and no more will ever be minted again. They bring special perks for their holders, namely daily rewards, and having the strongest Divine combat parts.</p>

<p>The current alpha stage of Champions Ascension focuses on multiplayer PvP modes such as 1v1, 3v3, and Free-For-All.&nbsp;As Champions ascend through tiers, they unlock Feat Cards, special abilities that can significantly impact battles, such as instantly recharging dashes or inflicting a bleed effect on opponents, adding strategic depth and unpredictability to every fight​. There's also a dungeon fight against the crocodile boss "Old Sally", with the promise of more PvE modes down the road as well. Your goal in each mode is the goal of every champion, stay alive and finish off your opponents.</p>
<p>The major factors that affect the battle for each champion are...</p>
<p><b>Family:</b> dictates certain aspects of a champion's traits, including speed, health, damage, movesets, and the Fury of the Titans ultimate.&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Essence:</b> A champion's core essence plays into how much damage you receive and take from other essence types. Each essence has an advantage against one other type of essence.&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Parts:</b> Each champion that is ascended to the Challenger tier or above will have 5 part abilities. Each part provides the character with a unique special attack that is power rated based on the part's rarity and level.</p>
<p><b>Environment:</b> Lure enemies into traps or knock them into lava to deal massive amounts of damage.<br></p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1280/720;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Darulk_Lava_Pull_GIF_f9f6de08e8/Darulk_Lava_Pull_GIF_f9f6de08e8.gif" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAPoAAAD6AG1e1JrAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/ALecgr2jimpXSsSyn//15f/r4PjXxfrfx4t1XisSAAAyGgBLMBgiAABKMBzBo4Hjvp69nX+YfWNxVTtEKxMAOycQXUUqjXFTim5Sj35lmYRxknlfh3Rsc1xWTjMiAFJDKk42I4hoUJR5dHxlYJ5tYqZOPoZGOmQ3LUgpJAAjBwA4JAlJMBmKcVZUT0doWF18QT9bAAA5AAA4AAAAIhUEKxwLIgkAKxYAOCEWKRYRJx8lIxgiGwoOMAAA8PY84W3Yfw4AAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure>
<p>Each PvP mode also has a hardcore option in which you can earn the game’s premium currency of gold. Be careful though, if your champion dies in hardcore and isn’t eternal, it will face permanent death. Once dead the champion is only good for sending to the butcher to receive bone, used to craft and purchase other items.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Butcher_chop_0af6aeb928/Butcher_chop_0af6aeb928.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/ADQ1QKSbjCYfHUMpI+/Qov/6zSsfGSEbHHlyco+GgwADAAALAwM4MDAlGxtzaGVVRUEyIyROQD8tJSOqo6AAAAAAFQkLNCgqQS0r1LKqypaMw5mNRDMyHRcYwsLHAAsGBzkhIkcgI0AbHW43NJBNRqx9cR0XGGBfY/P1+wAmGxpxWFJGIyNBGRtSKShgQTtZQjxJOTViVVK0rawAKhoaYEhIKxYbGAAHJBMYLBogJxsgKBogcl1ihm1yeMk1gzhQniwAAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure>
<p><b>Ascending to Eternal NFTs<br></b></p>
<p>As you recruit new champions, they will start out as Grunts that can ascend through the ranks to challenger, gladiator and eternal tiers. To level up your character you must battle and earn the essence of your opponents. Essence can be consumed raw to gain XP or crafted into crystals that can be traded to other players for crypto, or consumed for additional bonus XP.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both crystals and scrolls are needed to ascend your champion to the next tier. These items can be earned or crafted in game. You can also trade these items with other players on the marketplace.&nbsp;</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/crystal_marketplace_screenshot_0cc73c0bef/crystal_marketplace_screenshot_0cc73c0bef.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/ADw6MhkYFBANBQoQBwIJAgMGAQEEAAAFABkZFx8gHgAcGRQtO0Kj0P/7i/D/qP//yP//3P//zf/jtMJlg0oANDEqR01OjJS7xmij/JHP/6/S/7zs/7vqx6GWXVwvADQxKkFMTovI65HN9IXOrWevc36942aUY5G0tHKMzQA9OTBaaGKo5vio3PKe2r6Y1qKh3fKRqZGfu7tzgbAAJSUcOSspcTZcODlMMTw6NjUoaDFXNjxRNEZVMD1HulxTfhsbEEwAAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure>
<p>Each tier you gain will give your champion more power and also applies bonus XP to your account’s progression of Chrono XP. The higher tier your account is, the more rewards you earn.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ascending your champion to become Eternal will be a tough road. Once there you can transmute your champion into an NFT. Keep them for special bonuses and glory, or sell your powerful champion to other players, the choice is yours! </p>

<h2>Gameplay and Features</h2>
<h4>Core Gameplay Loop</h4>
<p>Pirate Nation’s gameplay revolves around energy management and exploration in the procedurally generated Infinite Isles. Players use energy to send pirates on quests, gather resources, and engage in combat, all of which reward experience points (XP). As pirates level up, they unlock new abilities and become capable of completing more difficult tasks, including higher-level quests and bounties. Additionally, gems can be used to speed up quest timers, replenish energy, or replace missing resources for quests, allowing players to earn more XP faster, which in turn leads to higher pirate levels</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:931/580;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/pirate_nation_combined_1_d319a87bf9/pirate_nation_combined_1_d319a87bf9.png" alt="" width="931" height="580" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAABJ0AAASdAHeZh94AAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/AFRsbIWShQA3Uw1GXxdMXTJVYmV5dQA0UR1VdV6LnwBxjZLC28oiVG0ZTWgANVMJPl8lVXAiVGo3aIElXIEAqrGx8vzuU3eFE0JdAC1IADRNFkJdF0RaN192CkFcAISMh9Xb0UBdbhI8VgAaMxRJaStdfwAaMwAiOwAjPAAYMT5OX2QAEy0eQFUABiY0SlU4VWk0SV4yTWIAJ0MACiEuOEtRAAUiEDFFAAUiAAAEAAknsYrWvpXkrYq0upA3qxLUGS0AAAAASUVORK5CYII="></figure>
<p>Pirate Nation’s card-based combat system features five elemental affinities (fire, earth, lightning, air, water) and five expertise types (accuracy, speed, damage, evasion, health). Each pirate's unique combination of these traits determines their combat effectiveness. You can upgrade your ships to introduce new cards and enhance combat performance. The game includes both player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) modes, allowing you to test your skills against AI-controlled enemies in various quests or compete against other players in real-time for a competitive edge.</p>
<p>A key part of the combat system is the Gauntlet mode, which offers normal and hard difficulties with different rewards. Completing gauntlet challenges earns you Command Rank, unlocking trading and other in-game benefits. Deck building is vital for success, allowing you to create custom decks that align with your pirates' elemental affinities and expertise types. This strategic element lets you tailor your approach to different combat scenarios. For tips on gauntlet enemies and deckbuilding, the <a href="https://piratenation.taverns.world/deckBuilder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tavern Deckbuilder</a> is a helpful resource.</p>

<p>Exploration is a big part of Pirate Nation. You can dive on quests across the Infinite Isles, find hidden treasures, and fight creatures. The world is procedurally generated, so every quest is unique. Completing quests and bounties rewards you with items, resources, and XP, essential for leveling up your pirates and ships. Players can build settlement buildings, like the Shipwright, on their islands. These buildings act as player-owned businesses that other players can use for a fee. Building and upgrading these structures adds depth to the player economy and offers more ways to earn resources.</p>
<p>Pirate Nation hosts global events, such as world bosses and team-coordination challenges, introducing new mechanics and rewards. The game also has gacha experiences, where players can win exclusive items and skins through events like the Wishing Well.&nbsp;PvP was introduced as part of the game’s most recent updates, allowing players to create or join PvP lobbies using a code-based system. PvP battles pit players against one another, Future updates plan to introduce leaderboards and more balanced rewards.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2039/1014;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Voxel_Group_Selfie_dec131dc29/Voxel_Group_Selfie_dec131dc29.png" alt="" width="2039" height="1014" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAFCAIAAADzBuo/AAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAApklEQVR4nAGbAGT/ACc6VT1HXk9YbmJwiWKAqlV5qXmQraOvtHmPojtcfgB9k723w9WgsMiDl7+Sormeq72irsS6vcO7vcWarcgAGRICUEI2ZlI1OSYjbEkqhG1EVklDNywhHBgRGxcXAB8AAE8iAGg0AI9mM1kiAI53T4hcNodcImpIATwcAADy0Yv41pH/5KD/7aX/3pr/9a//9q3/7qj/4Zzv0IzEx0izIxsjkAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="></figure>
<p>Pirate Nation supports user-generated content (UGC) and modding, letting players create and share new gameplay experiences. This openness encourages creativity and extends the game's lifespan. The game's modding platform is permissionless, meaning all game logic and data are publicly available onchain for anyone to build on.</p>
<h2>NFTs and Web3</h2>
<h4>Founder’s Pirates</h4>
<p><a href="https://marketplace.proofofplay.com/nft/game.piratenation.piratenft?chain=mainnet" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Founder’s Pirates</a> are the premier NFTs in the Pirate Nation ecosystem. Initially, owning a Founder’s Pirate was the only way to access the game. These NFTs are unique and offer exclusive benefits, such as special quests and early access to future games. To accommodate new players without diminishing the value of the original NFTs, the game introduced Gen1 Pirates, which are soulbound and free to mint. While Gen1 Pirates allow new players to join and play, they do not provide the exclusive benefits that Founder’s Pirates offer, maintaining the prestige and value of the original collection. A more precise explanation of these NFTs differences is explained in this infographic.</p>

<h4>$PIRATE Token</h4>
<p>$PIRATE is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum Mainnet used within Pirate Nation. Players can convert $PIRATE to Gems, used for various in-game activities like purchasing energy and speeding up quests. The tokenomics of $PIRATE aim to empower the community, with most tokens allocated to players and ecosystem pools. Staking $PIRATE and Founder’s Pirates NFTs earns players Proof of Play Points, rewarding early supporters.</p>
<p>Pirate Nation's economy is fully onchain, ensuring transparency and fairness. The game uses three types of currencies: Pirate Gold (soft currency), Gems (hard currency), and $PIRATE (ERC-20 token). Players earn and spend these currencies through various in-game activities. The economy balances free-to-play and play-to-earn models, allowing players to trade resources and items on the <a href="https://marketplace.proofofplay.com/nft/game.piratenation.tradeablegameitems?chain=apex" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Proof of Play Marketplace</a>.</p>

Every hero, accompanied by their sidekick and summoned creatures, contributes a distinct set of abilities to the battlefield. At the moment, only two champions have been revealed; Bolgar and Locke. We take a deep dive into the lore and history of each character.&nbsp;</p><h4>Bolgar</h4><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1080/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/bolgar_3e586a09ea/bolgar_3e586a09ea.jpg" alt="bolgar.jpg" width="1080" height="1080"><figcaption>Wildcard</figcaption></figure><p>Bolgar, originally known as Neralis, was once the prince and heir to the throne of the Saering royal family. As a young boy, he was betrayed by his jealous younger brother and cast into a deep crevasse while playing in the woods. Within the crevasse, Bolgar encountered a bear cub, and they engaged in a fierce battle. Both sustained injuries, and their blood mingled, creating a magical connection that caused them to fuse into a single being - they became "werebeared."&nbsp;</p><p>Bolgar was drawn to the sport of Wildcard. His ability to recognize the unique talents of other creatures and incorporate them into his gameplay made him a formidable strategist. Bolgar's deep understanding of his teammates allowed him to become a better leader, as he embraced his role as one of the champions in the Wildcard arena.</p><h4>Locke</h4><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:4096/4096;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/locke_97f405b04e/locke_97f405b04e.jpg" alt="locke.jpg" width="4096" height="4096"><figcaption>Wildcard</figcaption></figure><p>Locke is the rising star of the Chronian Wildcard team. As a former lead techno-engineer, he was responsible for creating many of the robots and upgrades used by the Chronos Royals in battle. Despite his background, Locke always dreamed of playing Wildcard himself and even developed his own unique ability, Chronowarp, in case the opportunity ever arose.</p><p>Locke's chance finally came when King Valla announced "open tryouts" – allowing any citizen of Chronos to compete against Prince Boone for a spot on the Wildcard team. The tryouts were a mere facade, as King Valla intended to appear egalitarian, assuming no other Chronians could possibly defeat his son. However, he was in for a shock when a masked man in a flowing techno-cloak appeared, wielding the never-before-seen Chronowarp power, and consistently defeated Boone.</p><p>Frustrated, King Valla demanded the mysterious contender to reveal his identity. As Locke removed his helmet, the crowd recognized him as the lowly engineer and celebrated him as the new champion of the people. By Valla's own rules, Locke was promoted to the Chronos Wildcard team, displacing Boone from the major league. This turn of events left the entire royal family humiliated and Boone enraged.</p><h2 data-start="100" data-end="120">Decks and Summons</h2><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/W_Ilcard_deck_7e0b35e3ad.jpg" alt="WIlcard deck.jpg" srcset="https://assets.gam3s.gg/xsmall_W_Ilcard_deck_7e0b35e3ad.jpg 64w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/thumbnail_W_Ilcard_deck_7e0b35e3ad.jpg 245w, https://assets.gam3s.gg/small_W_Ilcard_deck_7e0b35e3ad.jpg 500w" sizes="100vw" width="500"><figcaption>Wildcard Deck&nbsp;</figcaption></figure><p data-start="122" data-end="547">In Wildcard, your deck determines the lineup of summons you can call into the arena during a match. Each summon has a defined role — some hold the frontline and soak pressure, others deal burst damage, provide ranged support, or disrupt enemy positioning. Your Champion fights in real time, while your summons help control space, create openings, and shift momentum, making deck choices just as important as mechanical skill.</p><p data-start="549" data-end="975">Building a strong deck is about synergy with your Champion’s abilities and your teammate’s playstyle.

This tool allows players to connect globally, participate in collectible challenges, and earn unique rewards and badges.

Star Atlas Cover.jpg

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Star Atlas is a large-scale space MMO built on the Solana blockchain and powered by Unreal Engine 5. Developed by ATMTA, Inc., the game aims to merge high-fidelity space exploration with a fully on-chain economy. Players explore the galaxy, pilot ships, mine resources, and engage in both strategic and real-time combat. Its gameplay is divided into two major experiences: the Unreal Engine 5 client, where players can directly fly and fight in real time, and SAGE, a browser-based strategy mode that operates entirely on-chain. Both experiences work together to form a persistent, shared universe that evolves with player actions</p>
<p>The world of Star Atlas is centered around the galaxy of Galia, where players choose from three factions, MUD, ONI, or USTUR, each representing a unique culture and technological philosophy. Within this setting, players build fleets, establish trade routes, and compete for control of valuable territories. The game supports multiple risk levels, from safe zones suitable for beginners to high-risk zones where losses are permanent but rewards are higher.</p>

          </figure>
<h2>Game Lore</h2>
<p>Star Atlas takes place in the year 2625, in a region of space known as the Galia Expanse. After a devastating event called the Convergence War, peace was temporarily restored under the newly formed Council of Peace, which unified the three dominant factions, MUD (augmented humans), ONI (a coalition of alien species), and USTUR (sentient androids). Although the factions coexist under the council’s watch, tensions remain as each side secretly expands its influence across the galaxy</p>
<p>At the center of the ongoing tension is Iris, a mysterious planet said to contain infinite energy and rare materials. Its discovery once sparked the Convergence War, and even now, it remains sealed away by the Council of Peace. Despite the treaty, factions continue to maneuver for power, while pirates and rogue groups operate in the shadows, destabilizing trade and security.</p>
<h2>Gameplay and Features</h2>
<p>Star Atlas combines large-scale strategy with real-time action. Its core design allows players to switch between Fleet Command, a top-down strategy interface for managing ships, mining, and logistics, and Unreal Engine 5 modes, which provide hands-on experiences like dogfighting, racing, and first-person combat. This dual-system approach lets players oversee their galactic empire from a strategic level or personally pilot their ships in cinematic encounters</p>

<p>In SAGE: Star Atlas Golden Era, every resource and activity exists fully on-chain. Players can mine, craft, transport goods, and engage in interstellar trade with others through a decentralized marketplace. The system uses real-time blockchain logic to track assets and player decisions, making each action part of a transparent and persistent economy. This mode appeals to players who enjoy management and long-term planning.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the Unreal Engine 5 client focuses on skill-based gameplay. Current playable modes include SURGE, a multiplayer deathmatch; Racing, featuring high-speed ship competitions; and Dogfighting, where players engage in combat using their own ships. Project Galia serves as an exploration mode that connects these activities and allows travel between planets. Each mode ties into the player’s progression and contributes to the broader Star Atlas universe</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;object-fit:contain;" src="https://assets.gam3s.gg/Star_atlas_game_image_9_5c38afbfc1.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" data-placeholder="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAGCAIAAAB1kpiRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAxUlEQVR4nAG6AEX/ANDW2Pn7+f7//sfO0rK/xbK/x9bd48rU2b7K0czW3gC2vLzR0tG6wcGJhYKWlpXAyM3//v7w9fPT1tP28fEAn6anmKCho6+yOTU1g3Zu6u3q5OXk0Nnbys7O19fZAHKCh29+g0dLTw4AAGNgYLK0tHiAg2hwcoiLi5uipAB/jJR7iJBKSk01MzQ0LzAkICFAQEJOTlBwcnesuLsAvbu7yMfHu7u7jYyMn5ycq6mpv7281NHQwsHBvr28cZhzAnAp1wcAAAAASUVORK5CYII="><figcaption>Star Atlas Content Image</figcaption></figure>
<p>Ships play a central role in both strategy and action. Each class serves a purpose—from miners and freighters to bombers, fighters, and bounty hunters. Some specialize in combat, while others focus on support tasks like refueling, repairs, and cargo transport. Owning and upgrading ships unlocks more opportunities across different game modes, allowing players to build fleets that fit their preferred playstyle</p>
<p>The galaxy itself is divided into Safe, Medium, and High-Risk Zones. The Safe Zone focuses on economic and social activities with no combat losses. The Medium Zone offers higher rewards but introduces some risk. The High-Risk Zone, planned for future updates, will include permanent destruction and rare resources, offering the greatest potential for both profit and loss</p>
<h2>Building and Crafting</h2>
<p>To thrive in the Star Atlas universe, players must build a variety of structures—from mining rigs on remote asteroids to sprawling space stations serving as trade hubs or military fortresses. Each construction project requires specific resources and blueprints, which players can acquire through exploration, trade, or combat victories. Crafting plays a significant role in customization and progression, allowing players to create unique ship modules, weapons, and personal gear, each with its own stats and abilities.</p>

<h3>NFTs and Blockchain&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Star Atlas features a peer-to-peer marketplace where players directly trade ships, gear, and other in-game assets. Each item in this marketplace is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), ensuring true ownership and unique asset security, which bolsters both player trust and asset value.</p>
<h4>Token Utilities</h4>
<p>The game economy is driven by two primary tokens: ATLAS and POLIS.</p>
<ul><li>ATLAS is the main currency for transactions within Star Atlas, used for purchasing items and covering fees. It is inflationary, designed to expand with the game's economy.</li><li>POLIS is the governance token, giving players voting power to influence the game's direction and rules. This token is deflationary, aiming to provide long-term value and governance influence to its holders.</li></ul>

<p>Every asset, from ships to land and equipment, exists as an <a href="https://play.staratlas.com/market/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NFT </a>on Solana.&nbsp;A key part of its system is the deflationary asset model, where ships and items can be destroyed or consumed through gameplay, especially in high-risk zones. This gradual reduction of asset supply helps balance the economy and maintain value over time. All actions in SAGE, such as mining or crafting, are recorded on-chain, while assets remain usable in the Unreal Engine version. Players who prefer a simpler experience can still focus on gameplay without diving deep into blockchain mechanics.</p>
<h2>How to Get Started</h2>
<p>As of 2025, Star Atlas remains in a controlled access phase, with new gameplay features gradually rolling out to the community. The game can be wishlisted on the<a href="https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/star-atlas-bead34" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Epic Games Store</a>, which will be the main gateway for future public access and updates.</p>
<p>Players can currently experience early gameplay through Surge, a competitive faction-based mode focused on fast-paced combat and multiplayer testing. Surge allows participants to earn points for their faction while helping developers fine-tune the game’s balance and performance. In addition to Surge, the team has launched <a href="https://gam3s.gg/star-atlas-holosim/" target="_self">Holosim</a>, a free entry version of the SAGE experience. Holosim lets players explore the strategic and economic systems of Star Atlas without needing a wallet or blockchain setup. It acts as an introduction to the game’s resource management, crafting, and exploration mechanics, giving new players a way to learn the basics before stepping into the full ecosystem.</p>
