Rise of the Pixels Launch Events: Over 2,000 $HIVE in prizes

Rotp Launch Event Hero v2.png
 
The Rise of the Pixels Beta roadmap and testing is complete!

🎉 We are ready to go live, with full PXL rewards. 🎉

But before we do that, we’re giving Beta users—new and old—a chance to reap some nice rewards. After that, another round of prizes to celebrate the new game.

🗓 Target launch date: Monday, April 22nd.

  • Pre-launch event & raffle: Monday April 15 to Launch (one full week before launch).
  • Post-launch bonuses: 48 hours of increased PXL rewards (for all). 72 hours of discounts on Recruiters (these improve the stuff you get from opening packs, for a price).
  • Post-launch event & raffle: Either 72 hours or one week after launch (we will ask the community their preference)

 

🎁 Prizes and how to get ‘em

Here’s the current prize pot for two events and raffles:

  • ⭐️ A total of 1,200 liquid $HIVE
  • ⭐️ 120 8-bit packs (worth ~1100 $HIVE at current price)
  • ⭐️ Limited special accessory NFTs (only way to win them is Events!)
  • ⭐️ Studio Avatars (a new thing! Stay tuned for more info)
  • Prize pool may change based on community input: we've considered less HIVE and more packs, for example

Note: the four RotP team members are not eligible for packs or $HIVE (but they could possibly win the fancy new NFTs).

There will be daily prizes for both the best and worst games (based on in-game rating). To maximize chances here, you’ll want to be creating a few games per day.

But the big raffles will be based on a Leaderboard score. Your score represents the number of raffle tickets you’ll have when the Launch Events end. For the pre-launch event, super early adopters will get yet another advantage, and last minute Beta users can sneak in too.

Draw dates and exact prize distribution details to come in future posts—but the bulk of the prizes will be in the post-launch event (we’re thinking 200 HIVE and 20 packs for pre, 1000 HIVE and 100 packs for post. NFT prizes will likely be in both events).

Earn points (both events) by:

  • Creating & releasing games. All past games in Beta count (pre-launch event only)!
  • Doing research actions. All past research in Beta counts (pre-launch event only).
  • Doing training actions. All past training in Beta counts (pre-launch event only).
  • Buying & opening 8-bit packs, including any you bought in the past (see below for details).
  • Re-blogging specific RotP posts on Hive (including this post!)
  • Early adopter bonus: every Beta reset you’ve “suffered” through gets you points! This only applies to the pre-launch event and raffle.

Point details:

  • Each 8-bit pack purchased = 2 points (counts for both pre- and post-launch events!)
  • Each 8-bit pack opened = 2 points (only counts for the post-launch event)
  • Each game released = 2 points (both events)
  • Each research action = 1 points (both events)
  • Each training action = 0.5 points (both events)
  • Each post reblog = 10 points (for specific posts during the events)
  • Each beta reset endured = 10 points (pre-launch event only)

📈 Post-Launch bonuses

All players will enjoy increased $PXL rewards for 48 hours after launch. The Pixelians are just so excited to buy Earth inspired games, it seems.

Also, certain Recruiters will be offering $PXL discounts for the first 72 hours after launch, which will improve your pack drops. The strategy here is pretty simple: start making games ASAP at launch, earn extra $PXL, and then decide if you want to take advantage of the Recruiter sale.

Reminder: switch game sites at launch!

We’ve been using a completely separate server for the Beta test. The pre-launch Event will be on the Beta site: (beta.riseofthepixels.com), but the post-launch will be on the Main site: (riseofthepixels.com)

So, once we launch on April 22, you'll need to log in to https://riseofthepixels.com (remove the beta. from the URL). There should be many redirects and notices on the old Beta site to help remind you too.

📙 Rulebook update

While the Event is happening, the Team will be busy making final changes and updates to the Rulebook, so that you have full documentation on how to play the Live game with its rewards and tokenomics.

Full game feature reminder

Here’s all the stuff that is ready to go on the 22nd:

  • ✅ Open packs (use recruiters to improve contents)
  • ✅ Team members fusion (combine NFTs for higher rarity; only way to get Mythics)
  • ✅ Equip accessories (improve Game rating by equipping)
  • ✅ Game creation (core game loop)
  • ✅ Real rewards (The HE token $PXL will be live at launch. No premine or founders share)
  • ✅ Research projects (create NFTs that impact Game ratings)
  • ✅ Team member training (change worker traits + an alternative way to gain XP)
  • ✅ V1 market conditions (bonus sales for games that meet fluctuating market conditions)

While we’ve done a lot of testing in Beta, it is still possible that bugs will crop up. Please report any issues in our Discord’s support channel! Not every element of the Rulebook is live—just what is listed above. If you have any questions, the Discord is the place to ask.

Only found this project a while ago, but it's looking good. It's mining game, which normally can be quite dull. The decisions that are involved in getting good ROI with this game are more complex and interesting than most, which puts it ahead of most of the rest.
