December Report 2022
Summary
Dear Community, through this press release, we would like to greet and welcome the new members that have joined our community and have given more life to this project. As the Deviants Factions team, we have been working on the development of new features, tournament structures and interaction systems regarding payments and rewards. Since all of these, have been in a testing period, we offered you a special rewards for the beta phase. Even though that may bring slight imbalances in the internal economy of the game. However, this testing period is coming to an end and with it comes a more definitive and functional structure in the game model, which brings several changes associated with it, as described below.
Economy
The main change in this matter, will be the rebalancing between the entries and prizes of underground tournaments, always leaving room for organic growth in the number of players without generating large disturbances in the circulating token and its relationship with the market price.
The entries to underground and factions tournaments will be paid in a direct way (without a pre-requisite ticket), they will have a fixed price and composed by VOL and xDEV related to the DEV market price.
Tournament mechanics
Playground and Street tournaments will have a progressive character from daily -> monthly, the way to participate in them will depend on the acquisition of their respective tickets and a contribution in VOL as an entry payment. The following figure explains the process in more detail:
Achievements and Challenges
Recently the achievements system was implemented with several tasks to complete, these tasks are permanent in time and are completed only once with their respective rewards. There is also a system of challenges, which are periodic. Daily, weekly and monthly challenges, designed to complement our street tournaments and provide a better game experience based on objectives.
Among the rewards of the challenges are the tickets necessary to play the Street tournaments, among other related prizes.
Factions Training
The factions tournaments previously announced, suffer a slight modification in their format, they will have the same character as the Underground tournaments in terms of entry fee (they will no longer need a ticket) in this way everyone will be able to participate in each of the different tournaments of the series. These tournaments will take place on Wednesdays - Fridays - Sundays at the same established time. The first place of the tournament will have as prize a silver, gold, or diamond pack respectively. That also implies that each tournament will have a different entry fee according to the prize given. The factions involved will be rotated every 4 weeks, starting with the inhuman faction and ending with the owner faction, keeping the same requirements already known in terms of deck building.
Tournament Participation
There will be a change in the scheduling of the tournaments and from now on the tournaments will have as a requirement a minimum number of participants to be able to take place. If at the time of the start of the tournament that number is not reached, the tournament will be canceled and the entry will be automatically returned, always being able to participate in the next tournament of interest. Issues
A new set of cards is being prepared to complement the existing one and will allow to create many more combinations in search of the most deviant deck.
Also $DEV rewards are about to become a reality and more detailed news about it will follow soon.
Last but not least
The above explained will remain so for an indefinite period of time, we have been building non-stop since we started, and now it's time to operate our systems. This will be the way we approach the bear market, therefore, these will be features we'll be using until the winter passes, being the card set and the DEV release, the last implementations for Deviants Factions, until further notice.
All this in view of the fact that we did our best to face the bear market, where we highlighted facts such as:
Survival and overcoming the Terra crush.
Migration to a new blockchain chosen for its GameFi orientation (ImmutableX).
Neither the development nor the creative team is altered during the whole process.
The game was delivered in record time, meeting the pre-established goals.
Many liveops features were implemented (Tournaments, achievements, challenges, different tournament configuration modes, etc.).
A lot of prizes were distributed in the tournaments.
Big discounts were made in the store. Some of them to absurd levels.
Alliances were made with several of the big players in the ecosystem such as: ImmutableX, Tokentrove, Gamestop, among others.
Airdrop of more than 500,000 NFTs to a little more than 250,000 wallets.
We were always attentive to our community trying to solve their requirements and needs, we generated instances of participation (community activation), we had a content creator (breevie), whith whom we created all content requested from the community and for newcomers into our ecosystem.
All this while facing the worst bear market in the history of web3, but unfortunately our resources for development are exhausted and the few remaining resources will be used for maintenance. Since we are sure of two things: The bear market will not change soon, but it will not last forever either.
We appreciate the support of all community members, especially our dedicated tutors who have always been there to lend a hand, the feedback we have received from the community has been invaluable, we remain open to the organic growth of the community around a game that aims to entertain and we hope that these difficult times will be more enjoyable playing Deviants Factions.
Sincerely,
Deviants Factions Team
