Happy New Year Hive! The RotP open Beta, available to all players who purchased at least a Game Dev License, is going great. We have a lot of new features released for testing. If you haven't already, join dozens of other players and be one of the first to discover the Pixelverse.

Catch up with the Pixelverse in our blog.

New features

This is a short list of all new updates released since our last beta progress post:

  • 🎁 Passive rewards, per pack, for all current Players 🎁
  • Based on community feedback: a new recruiter is available 🎉
  • Everyone now has 15 reputation in Beta to test the new recruiter
  • You can now select male and female in a fusion (the match will have to be on the last name, or eventually the nickname)
  • All sorts of minor UX/UI fixes
  • Discord notifications contain some more details when packs are opened
  • And finally: the main game loop! Game creation is now live for testing! ✨

🎮 Game creation notes for Beta

Making games is the main action within Rise of the Pixels. After all, you're running a gaming studio! Equip your NFTs, choose your team, get creative with titles, and allocate resources wisely. Highly rated games will generate a positive return of $PXL tokens over time ($PXL rewards are not active in Beta!)

Because this is Beta, there are many things to keep in mind. TL;DR: game creation currently does not offer full functionality. Details:

  1. Part of the game rating algorithm is disabled. This means the game rating will have much higher randomness compared to the final version that will be used in the Main Game. We decided to do this because we don't want people to reverse engineer the rating system during the Beta and have an edge when the game goes live
  2. To better verify how different parts of the system work, we disabled AI rating and review generation. But this will be enabled soon!
  3. Reward Testing is not included in this release and we'll probably do a Beta reset before enabling it in the next update. In other words: your games will not generate $PXL_BETA.
  4. Reminder: Game creation cost and rewards on Beta are not real so feel free to experiment. Try and break stuff too!

What should I know?

  • The Beta is a way to collect community feedback and improve the game before the official release
  • None of the actions performed on this Beta website have an impact of the main game. This includes (but not is limited to) opening packs and creating games
  • During the Beta you can test the gameplay with a number of packs higher than the packs actually purchased on the official shop page
  • All Team Members and Accessories you receive from opening packs on Beta will not be real NFTs and will not be reflected in the actual game after the official release
  • The Beta environment use a fake token named $PXL_BETA. This token is not related at all with the main PXL token that will be used in the game. You cannot withdraw the $PXL_BETA token
  • After joining the Beta you will receive 2x the number of packs you purchased
  • If you purchase more packs after joining the Beta, hit the Accept & Join button again to see your new packs (2x) reflected in Beta
