AMA insights: game updates from Lead Producer
First of all, a big thank you to all Riftwardens who joined our recent AMA session with Lead Producer Andrew in our welcoming Discord community , and to those who couldn’t make it but continue to support us. Now, let’s get straight to the key points.
Here’s a recap of the main topics that were on your minds and we covered during the session:
Summer Combat Test
Our primary focus is on delivering a fully-updated combat system, which is at the core of our gameplay. This summer, we are launching community tests featuring the first group of heroes. You’ll have the opportunity to acquire these heroes, fight enemy teams, and experiment with various combinations. As the testing progresses, you’ll be able to merge heroes to increase their rarity and power. We plan to roll out frequent updates, introducing Gear, Skills, Leaderboards, and additional heroes. Hero balance will be an ongoing process, ensuring that all heroes become valuable additions to your roster. Invitations to join these tests will be extended to our alpha testers, those who have been waiting for invites, and purchasers of our boxes.
Reflections on Last Year
There are reasons why we decided to laser-focus on combat aspect of our game first, we aim to deliver only a high-quality product Second, as you may know, the previous year was really rough both for the crypto industry and gamedev. Sadly, we had to reduce the size of our team to be able to survive. Good news, we were able to keep the core team: even though there were no paychecks for a couple of months, we never stopped our work. Now, our team slowly grows back to make sure we have all the key fields of expertise covered That’s why our strategy is to build essential parts of our game first, so you can enjoy it.
Clan Wars
Many of you asked what’s going on with the clan wars short answer: we’ve seen you liked it, but it was not always clear how to play that’s why we decided to prototype a simple app. Please don’t worry, it’s not going to stall our progress on Riftwardens: “Clan wars-related tasks are at lower priority, yet we believe that allocating some resources there will be a nice bonus for our community
Future Plans and Roadmap
Adventures: We are building with a bigger picture in mind. Riftwardens isn’t just another NFT autobattler; it’s part of a grander plan. Combat is a component of Adventure Mode, a roguelike campaign and our main PvE gameplay framework. Our goal is to make these adventures endless and ever-cons, artifacts, spells, and traits.
PvP Arenas: For those who love to compete, we will also offer PvP Arenas.hanging, allowing you to develop your own style of adventuring with different team compositions, gear, poti
Shattered Realms: Adventure Mode and PvP Arenas are part of Shattered Realms, a strategic-level gameplay inspired by classic MMORPGs like WoW, EvE, Albion, and Ultima Online. Here, you can cooperate with other players to conquer new worlds, build cities, and craft the necessary weapons, artifacts, and items for adventures and arenas.
User-Generated Content (UGC): We plan to provide our community with internal tools such as a map editor and adventure editor. This will enable everyone to create content, with a system in place to fairly reward creators for their contributions to the community.
Mobile Version Update
Many people have been curious about the status of My NFT Wars: Riftwardens on mobile. Recently, Andrew attended the NFC Lisbon conference to connect with our friends from the Blockchain Game Alliance and other industry leaders. For this event, we created a local, off-chain build specifically for demo purposes.
At the moment, our team is prioritizing the development of the web version. However, we plan to release a mobile version for a broader audience in the future.
Next AMA Sessions
We truly enjoyed our recent AMA session and appreciate your participation. Despite some technical issues prevented us from capturing the full video, we’ve agreed to hold more AMA sessions to address your questions and discuss various topics such as project plans and development. To ensure everything is properly captured, probably we’ll use Twitter or Telegram instead of Discord. In any case, we recommend you follow all our socials, as we have exciting new activities coming soon!
IDO Update
Our CEO, Max, is fully focused on preparing for our Initial DEX Offering (IDO). Once everything is set, we will make an official announcement. Stay tuned!
We’ll also keep you updated on the development of “Clan Wars” and “My NFT Wars: Riftwardens” and we’re excited to play with you soon.
Your support is invaluable, riftwardens, and we can’t wait to share more exciting news and updates with you!
