After some time without the chance to comeback to M4L due to some emotional and personal issues, the team is happy to announce we will keep working on our products (M4L and VFTLAB)
Theres something we observed in our time away and is simple that our actual bussiness model is not viable for the long term, is not scalable, is not even profitable to be a self-sustained model. You can even look on the transactions and see @liuke96player was buying VIBES from his own pocket to sustain the project.
So we have 2 options:
- Leave the project and lose every progress we made.
- Learn from our mistakes and try a new business model.
If you are reading this we chose the second path, and what's best will be the funniest path possible to keep going forward!
Our team already has experience with blockchain gaming and developing videogames, you can see we haven't stopped working on @hashkings since the 1st day, and is that developing a game gives to the team a really big amount of passion, space for creativity and is a really popular use case for tokens.
But this will require some clear points, we will stop eventually the VFTLAB website as will be the core coin on cryptostellar, anyways you can still minning it until we announce his final day, we will give a period of time to let people withdraw their coins from the VFTLAB staking system. Regarding M4L the tribe will keep working without ads and the tokenomics wont change at all.
So is our pleasure to announce Cryptostellar, a new branded game on HIVE that will use VIBES and VFT as their protagonists. The mechanics are still under reviewing but the central idea is simple and would work like this:
The basic idea is a mining game with various NFTs and cards craft mechanics.. We will be changing the concept until we have something with an unique personality. In fact we are thinking in instead of mining you will be able to beat galatic monsters with music instruments that will act as weapons.
But for practical purposes we will use the base idea to explain this post.
You will be able to use VIBES and VFT to acquire:
- Avatars: required to play the game
- Lands: Players will need to start mining on lands, so you can be a land baron and set a tax for miners.
- Tools: Used to the mining activity with different stats that will have an impact on your activity,
A simple way to see how this would work is with an example:
Let say you are a landowner, you can set a tax for all the miners using your land plots and collect VFT/VIBES and special NFTs in a ranking for the best land barons
If you are a miner, after you get your avatar and you first tool you will be able to get either:
- VFT
- NFTs with tools, which can be a better NFT or which you can use into the forge.
Plus the rewards in the ranking which is based on a stat that will be in the tools called GD (Galatic Dust), which can be NFTs, VIBES and other featured tokens.
Spaceship
Besides the mining base mechanics, you will be able to build and upgrade a spaceship that will provide your gameplay with better features for your mining and will allow you to start crafting cards.
You will only need to start chasing the fancy parts of your new spaceship through mystery boxes which can include other prizes like tools, tokens and in some cases these new spaceship parts, by mergin and burning you will be able to craft the ultimate spaceship and its upgrades.
Crafting Your Own Cards
The second phase of cryptostellar will be focused on a trading card game which will be an extension of the base game, is the same case with raids from hashkings. We love to build layered games, that may work individually but still have synergy within their economy.
With this said, we are already working on the game so is not necessary any presale for now. We will be posting our advances on the development through tweets and posts in our official media.
