Game Development Update: Journey to Open Beta + $10,000 Season 1 prize pool!
Hello future champions!
We're thrilled to bring you a roundup of the latest updates on our game's development progress as we draw ever closer to our open beta release. There's been a whirlwind of activity behind the scenes, and we're excited to give you a peek into the exciting new features and improvements we're bringing to our world.
Short form Promo Video: Coming Soon!
Our marketing team is currently working on creating a high-octane, fast-paced promotional video that will help to amplify our game's launch and tournament announcements across platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, and Twitter. This will give us short form marketing content to outreach to a huge audience.
Striding Ahead in Game Development
We're making significant strides in our game development. The attack buffs have been reworked to give a much higher impact in stat boosts. We expect to see them being utilised for crazy combinations! The development team's focus has now shifted to honing leaderboards and the ranking system.
In fact, we're expecting a fresh build by the end of this week, complete with several critical fixes that enhance gameplay:
• Tweaks to attack boost dynamics
• Email verification
• Tournament bug fixes
NFTs & Gameplay Incentives
While the launch of the game is at the forefront of our marketing push, we're not forgetting our NFTs. We're integrating these into our strategy by increasing the prize pools for legacy-only tournaments to give players compelling reasons to invest in our NFTs and also reward those who currently hold them.
Open Beta: The Countdown Begins
The countdown to our open beta release has begun. Our development roadmap targets completion by the 18th of August, keeping us on track for a August launch. As we get closer to this date, we plan to conduct final tests, engage the community for feedback, and finally announce the confirmed dates that our first season will start!
Rising the Ranks: League Features
We're also working on enabling functional leagues in the game. We aim to create a dynamic gaming environment where players can gain promotion or face demotion based on their performance. Look out for more information on the leaderboard and ranking changes that we aim to implement before the open beta.
Marketing Strategy: Quality over Quantity
Our focus has always been prioritizing the quality of the game itself over hype, however, now is the time that we open the gates to the world of Sacred Tails. With a focused approach, we aim to leverage influencers, sponsored advertising, and our short form promo video for marketing. Alongside this, we're promising substantial prize pools for the first Open Beta Season, aiming to make our game more fun, competitive, and attractive to players.
Weekend Beta Testing: Dive In & Win Prizes!
Exciting news for our community! We're conducting a tournament this weekend with the new build. This is scheduled for Sunday evening at 6pm UTC, and we're inviting our community to participate, provide us feedback, and stand a chance to win from a $300 prize pool in $ST ($200) and 1 free NFT mint ($100). It's an event you won't want to miss!
Open Beta Season 1: Get Ready for Major Prizes
And there's more! We're going big for our Open Beta. We're planning a prize pool of over $10,000, consisting of $ST tokens and Legacy NFT mints. Expect high octane, E-Sports style commentary for high stakes prizes. Rewards will be distributed based on final season rankings, individual tournament wins, and our World Series Tournament of Tails of which the top ranked players in the season will qualify!
Gameplay Content: Stay Tuned
Once the final game version is in place, we'll release a series of tutorial videos with gameplay walkthroughs and voiceovers to guide our players through the game. With various content that will be available on our socials for new and old players alike!
