Cradles, an MMORPG with a different take on their game’s economic model, announced their plans to hold a two week open beta in March. Starting on March 15th, players can check out the world and fight some dinosaurs!

Players can explore the Cradles open-world, which is set in a prehistoric time not unlike the Triassic age.

As players build towns and learn new technologies, and achieve higher levels of governance, the in-game civilization develops and advances the world through era progression, such as from the Triassic age to the Jurassic age.

Uniquely, entropy in the Cradles metaverse increases with time — just as the real world does.

Cradles engineers have developed a brand-new ERC protocol for the game, called the ERC-3664, which will attach a time attribute to all of the props.

The game will let you use your VR device for an immersive experience, choosing from a wide range of species to play as.

The opportunity to apply for a beta spots for Cradles opens on March 1st and runs through March 10th. Look for a chance to snag a slot on their Discord server. We don’t have details on how many slots will be open. But with this being called an open beta, hopefully getting in won’t be too difficult!

This MMO promises player driven crafting, and a unique NFT staking system. Cradles will be a subscription-based service, so this beta may be one of your few chances to try the game for free!

The beta itself will only be open for two weeks, until March 30th. Cradles closed their previous pre-alpha test with a massive battle-royal, PvP event, giving rewards to the top players. They say that they plan for some sort of equally notable event at the end of open beta.

Cradles brings a feature from web2 gaming that we haven’t seen yet in the MMO genre of web3 games, monthly subscriptions! And with a starting price of $99 per month, I have to wonder if this particular feature hadn’t been better left behind! Unfortunately, by setting a monthly subscription, and for such a high price, Cradles is firmly placing itself in a spot where it will only be a play to earn game.

Cradles: Origin of Species

“All Life Deserves Shelter”

Created by time, life grows, experiences hardships, shines, and sings in the river of time. Then life ages, the shining light in the river sways and dims, the glorious song fades, and life ends abandoned, entombed in history.

Earth’s civilization is told only as an anecdotal footnote, tracing carelessly the tracks of the past and tracking indiscriminately the traces of the present. Is there no commemorative significance for those species lost to extinction and for the lives run their course?

They have borne witness to the passage of time, midwifed every reproduction of Earth, ushered in and interned the rise and fall of civilizations. As latecomers, we are obliged to build an eternal home for Earth’s previous masters, so that all life will be
remembered. Even if time abandoned the departed, we will retrieve them, memorializing them in the digital world. Those forgotten by time are reborn again in Cradles: Origin of Species.

Cradles is an MMORPG set in a world co-inhabited by humans and dinosaurs and features a living world throw grows and evolves over time.

Cradles includes a main city hub that functions as the marketplace and social scene. Outside of the city are adventure areas. Here players explore, battle with prehistoric beasts, and collect materials for crafting. The adventure areas will represent different, lost eras of time in the Earth’s history. And, of course, the more dangerous areas provide more lucrative rewards!

In Cradles, players acquire equipment, crystals, Civilization Flames. Players use Civilization Flames to light beacon towers, which give the player’s favorite civilization a boost.

Crystals are the main game currency. They are used to level up weapons, strengthen equipment, and make repairs. Crystals will exist as their own blockchain token. Players earn Crystals in daily quests and in crystal mines.

Interestingly, Cradles has chosen not to sell any NFTs! Instead, they will focus on providing value to their token (DRPC, or DRepublic Coin), and let players decide which NFTs are worth trading. Players will have access to a crafting feature, allowing them to use materials harvested from the adventure areas to make equipment.

Cradles will also have some sort of NFT staking / rental system and options for passive income.

Like many other web3 games, Cradles has big plans. These include a quest system, player governance, player-created experiences, land ownership, attacks by Chaos on the main cities, and more!

Fight of the Ages FOTA is a AAA metaverse gaming project which is under the hybrid of MOBA-RPG and integrated with MicrosoftMesh (MR) Technology

Introduction

In 2021, Blockchain has become an industry with the most impressive growth of more than 500% in total market capitalization, from 500 billion dollars to 2500 billion dollars. The reason for that tremendous growth is the advancement of large-scale applications in areas such as Web 3.0, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Non-fungible Tokens, and Gaming. As a result, pioneers and engineers are always looking for new applications to accelerate the development of Blockchain technology and Cryptocurrency.
Based on the development trend of this technology, soon, NFT and GameFi technologies will become highlights of the entire market with their practical applications. Non-Fungible Tokens open the possibility of storing digital assets to guarantee ownership, transparency, and integration of transaction capabilities on the Blockchain network. GameFi allows users to both engage in entertainment and generate monthly income by combining finance mechanics with the game industry. Therefore, digital property ownership is promoted amid the Internet era, becoming the second world of humankind.

However, the Internet currently allows us to experience a flat world, with a simple interactive interface and a focus on information storage mechanisms. Therefore, experts formed the concept of Metaverse to expand the Internet platform into a place capable of interacting with virtual reality. Blockchain and Cryptocurrency are introduced to perfect this technology to maintain security and, more specifically, to store digital assets (such as Virtual space, Digital artwork, and Online Services). NFTs will become the core technology in the Metaverse world when it can identify the ownership of digital assets or allow the trading of assets right in the Metaverse world through trading centers based on Blockchain technology.

It is from here that the need to form creative worlds with Metaverse technology has led to an outburst. Fantasy worlds are becoming more realistic than ever, allowing participants to experience life in various styles. Users can transform into inhabitants of the new world, with the ability to experience breath-taking vistas or perform tasks they have never done before. Besides, the demand for shopping and owning digital assets will become more significant than ever. Games will not only be interactive on 2D or 3D graphics platforms, but they will also allow players to become heroes or favorite characters directly. With the above arguments, the demand for a gaming platform to integrate Metaverse and NFT technology is becoming stronger and stronger.

FOTA is a Triple-A MOBA Game project owned by Meta DJINN PTE.LTD and based in SINGAPORE, with a fantasy universe inhabited by many races throughout the universe. In the world of FOTA, NFT Technology is optimized so that users can feel the possibility of owning valuable digital assets during the journey. More than just a MOBA game platform, the development team has also introduced economic mechanisms and democracies through the DAO. With a view to turning this Metaverse platform into an ever more realistic universe that integrates Microsoft Mesh (a Microsoft Corporation platform pioneering in creating the most immersive Metaverse experience.)

The history of the FOTA Universe

In the early days, the universe was an infinite space covered with darkness, there was an evil entity called the Darkness. And then one day, the most destructive explosion ever happened, bending all space-time, tearing the silence apart, pushing back the dark and ushering in an era of mysterious chaos.
The energy from that explosion reshaped the universe and gave birth to two opposite realms – The Physical and the Spiritual Realm. Those two realms coexisted like two sides of the same coin, bringing the universe back into balance. From here, there were contrary concepts giving explanations for the dawn of all creation: the light and the dark, life and death… The explosion was later called the Big Bang, Aether – or “Creator” – was the name given to the energy source it generated. The reason for the name “Creator” was that Aether sent energy throughout the universe to urge on the advancement of all creatures, allowing life to flourish wherever it reaches. In the Spiritual Realm, the first rays of light in the explosion were shaped and linked together to form a beautiful land known as “The Greenland – The Land of Eternity”.

The pure energy of Aether slowly turned into the soul, and thus the first living things – The Omni – were born. For being closest to the Aether, the Omni possess supernatural power and the Eye that can see things, create space. Besides the powerful Omni, there is also the Dragon – mysterious and long-lived creatures which were born from the primordial light. All have made the Greenland extremely flourishing and they are all aware of their race’s great responsibility in protecting, maintaining, and developing the universe’s balance. Thus, many Omnis have used their power to open Space Bridge in search of new lands, track and guide native races to use Aether’s energy to push the advancement of their worlds. Therefore, the Omni are worshiped as the gods of the big universe. However, the Omni realized that due to the boundary between the two realms, they could not communicate directly with other races in the Physical Realm. Beings on the Physical Realm, on the other hand, did not know how to unlock the hidden spiritual power within their bodies, so these creatures are far inferior to those of the Greenland – Omnis and Dragons. As a result, the Omni have found many ways, trying to communicate with the Physical Realm but all are very limited.

As opposed to the Greenland of Spiritual Realm, the Physical Realm is consistent with the laws of nature, with the physical body. The Aether energy in each being is very little and not everyone can feel it, except for magicians, no one else has this kind of power. These magicians are born with the Eye, which allows them to sense and use the power from Aether, they come from many races but mostly the Human on the Earth – the dominant beings in the Physical Realm. Those magicians gathered together and built The Sun Temple to train and control the power of Aether, they called it magic and let other inferior creatures take advantage of it with complex spells. Passing through many hardships, only the most powerful magicians could interact with the Omni and usher in a new era for the Human and the Physical Realm.

In order to maintain the universe’s balance and prove their role, the Omni began to teach the Human to utilize the power of Aether and unlock their hidden power. The first human magicians, led by The Omni, evolved to a higher level and became The Elf – lived under the guard of the Omni, they worshiped and lived their lives in the manner of the Omni. From here, the Earth flourished and became the greatest Middle-Earth that history has ever recorded, thanks to the Great Magic at the Sun Temple.
The interaction between the two realms appeared to be a beautiful dream bringing prosperity and balance to this universe from now on, no one knew it was just the calm before the storm. At that time, the Silver Serpent – the most powerful king of the Earth, with ambitions to rule the realms, had given the order to carry out horrific experiments on the human body to explore the Aether and master its power. Then, he realized that the Aether energy would strengthen their natures, skills and make them stronger than ever, the more energy they absorbed, the stronger they became. Those who were stripped of their Aether would soon become mindless zombies who just took orders from others. This incident led to chaos on the Earth and war broke out between two sides – One side were the Elves and magicians fighting against the brutal evil, while the other side were the cruel king and the fallen magicians – who wanted to use Dark Magic and search for ruins of the Darkness.

Besides the never-ending war against evil, there was a group believing that magic would bring disasters to all living creatures and finding ways to eliminate it out of this universe. This group was called the Keen, they developed a wide range of advanced machines with destructive power as terrifying as magic and were willing to kill anyone possessing magic as a way to save their universe. That just made everything go from bad to worse – there were more wars and wars lasting for centuries and leading to long-standing feuds among many sides.
With the chaos on the Earth, there was a conflict in the world of the Omni. One side tried to protect the Earth beings as well as find ways to solve everything peacefully, the other side said that the Earth had gradually corrupted and needed to be eliminated to bring back the balance for other worlds. The conflict occurred, those disgruntled shaped the course of history by destroying the Earth alone. Then, right on the Greenland, a battle took place between the Omnis, without the support of the Dragons, the group of disgruntled Omnis was quickly defeated, stripped of their power and banished from their homeland forever. After this failure, those Omnis became more and more negative and they were devoured by envy and hatred towards the Greenland, they believed that their race, the Omni, were the most powerful beings in the universe to conquer all life.

After being exiled, they wandered around the realms and then arrived at the deepest part of the whole universe – The Nightmare – where the light could not reach and everything here was all in utter darkness, this was also where the evil entity the Darkness resided after the Big Bang. Those lost Omnis soon absorbed the dark power here and slowly turned into a new race called the Demon. They named themselves Lords from Hell, accompanied with the dark creatures born of fire and dust of the Darkness – The Beast, with its bloodthirsty nature, the Beast quickly became ruthless killing machines, the right hand of the Demon. Now, the Demons are just waiting for the chance to avenge their old feud with The Omni and begin their quest to rule all realms.
Without a shadow of dark, the real Omnis has learnt of the existence of Demons and Beasts, they offered alliances to not only the Dragon but also the Elf and Magicians on the Earth, ready for the next fight of the age.

The Demons were not less than that, they came to the Earth, bestowed dark power from the Darkness as well as conciliated the fallen magicians to their side, turned them into an army known as the Orge. Unlike the Elf, the Ogre gradually became an obsession for all creatures on the Earth. They kept gathering more heretics and performing ritual sacrifices in order to summon thousands of fearsome monsters to devour the Human. This moment glorified the horrors of the worst war in universe history, known as the Dark Moon War, every creature rushed to war for one, singular purpose: to be the last one to survive and claim the Aether for themselves. A new era is about to dawn!

WORLDS

Out of this wide, wide FOTA universe, there are many other worlds yet to be explored. But the battle for the Aether still takes place on three worlds in the Unity Saga:
The Greenland: The Land of Eternity, where was once the birthplace of the Aether. The Greenland is home to god-like creatures known as the Omni and Dragon.
The Earth: The Ultimate Civilization. Here the Elf, Human and Keen live together and receive the Omni’s preparation for the dark days ahead.
The Nightmare: The Darkest Night, a wasteland of FOTA universe. Cold, dark and cruel, exactly what this world is called – nightmares; only the darkest creatures like the Demon, Ogre and Beast can survive here.

HEROES

Entering into the FOTA Metaverse – A 3D Space, each player will become his unique heroes to start the journey. Each hero is born with his own power, story and mission.

Satashi Monsters(SSM) was born that way, It all starts in the world of NewHera, a fantastic world with species that lived in harmony. As time went by, magical creatures began to appear and upset the planet’s balance, forcing more and more residents to live in villages or closed kingdoms. Your job is to prevent the arrival of enemy hours at different points on the map, for that you have more than 100 types of towers and different abilities.

Satoshi Monsters

We, as a team, grew up playing defense games. With that in mind, we had a desire to create something with that style of gameplay and add a powerful blockchain technology.
Satoshi Monsters (SSM) was born that way.
The game itself starts in a world named NewHera. A world where species used to leave in harmony. As time went by, some magical creatures began to appear and upset the planet’s balance, forcing the residents to run away and live in closed kingdoms. Your job, as a player, is to prevent the arrival of those enemies. You can count on more than 100 types of towers to help you out in that mission.

Get your towers and help us. You will be rewarded with cryptocurrencies whenever you manage to defeat a horde of monsters.

Gameplay

The Goal

NewEra is split into more than 150 villages. Whenever a horde sees a village they proceed to attack it. You have to defend your kingdom’s villages and destroy the hordes before they can do any damage.

How to Play

Satoshi Monsters is divided into multiple game modes. At moment we only have one of them available. It’s called “Farm Mode”.
To play this mode, your first step is to acquire a team of towers. They can be bought via the marketplace. After that you have to control their energy, placing them at rest or playing them at the field, in order to optimize their strength.

One of the other games will have different gameplay.
At the beginning of the game, you will get to choose one type of element and three towers of that type. Each element changes a lot in gameplay and how you need to play with your towers in order to optimize them, over time you will be able to equip up to eight types of towers in your deck.
This mode will have a big strategy factor with little luck influence.

Rewards

Winning is great, winning cryptocurrencies is even better!

Of all systems in the game, the one we allocated the highest amount of time was the development user’s rewards.

Our rewards are based on the liquidity of our SSM token since all purchased towers generate 90% liquidity for the ecosystem, the more users the game gets, the greater the gains.

You can have access to the token in advance, it’s always good to remember that tokens from this category of games reached more than 1000% valorization after the game’s release.

THE FARM

Concept

Idle Game
Farm mode has unique gameplay that combines the traditional tower defense rules with idle. With that in mind, we created a game that required little user interaction but a high yield. Each map is composed of a horde of minions that can vary in number and strenght (based on the number of towers you own).

Farm is powered by SSM with various tools to improve performance.

How To Play

To join the game is necessary to acquire towers. You can have the number of towers you want, but you are only allowed to place 15 towers on the map at the same time.
Whenever you enter a map you are placed in a land. The number of monsters that appear and their strength are calculated based on the number of towers you have in play. You need to COMPLETLY destroy the horde of monsters to get the reward. A small % of that reward is given to the land’s owner.
To create a balance between investment and rewards, we created a system where the number of monsters and their strength increases as the number of towers you have in play goes higher. Since the rewards are based on the number of monsters and their strength, your rewards get higher as well. With that in mind, you need to have 15 towers to unlock the full potential rewards of the map.
With this balanced implemented, the average time of completion of a map is nearly the same wherever your amount of towers is, making it viable to start playing the game with a few amount of towers.

Tips to optimize the towers:

– Your energy can’t go over 100%, therefore avoid leaving your towers resting when you reach that number.
– The collective is much stronger. Always prefer to load your towers and attack together.

This you need to know when playing:

– Multi-account is ALLOWED. This means you can have more than one account playing at the same time. – Be aware that countermeasures might be applied to avoid boting.
– Multi-login is totally FORBIDDEN, you cannot use the SAME account on 2 devices at the same time. You will be banned if that happens.
Any problem call Support! Good farm!!

Economy

Infinity algorithm

Satoshi Monsters was developed with the goal of having a long life. With that goal in mind, we developed a new algorithm called Infinity.
Infinity operates based on market movements. It reads information from the liquidity pool during an INTERVALS of time. If there is a strong change in the value of the currency, it will analyze the next trend and the market stability. If the market is stable, it will proceed to the changes in-game.

We took as an example other algorithms and their failures and create a better and more refined one. UNLIKE a well-known algorithm, this one prevents sudden dumps/exploits on the currency, making it more stable and reliable.
