SteemNova 2 proposals
Emperors! A new era is coming in the world of SteemNova, which we want to write about.
Remember that these are only proposals and I would like you to comment on them :-)
Big Bang Theory
Strategy online games have a problem - it's hard to start playing at some point. When you try to grow, other players start powerful galactic battles.
Unfortunately, we can't change it. We believe, however, that restarting the server will allow you to start exploring space from scratch.
- It will increase adrenaline while playing.
- Players who used bugs in SteemNova won't be able to use them because they're fixed.
- It will be possible to create a new economy in the game.
New design
@sarmaticus has been working on SteemNova's new look for several weeks now. For this he uses new solutions that make it much more enjoyable to play the game on a small screen.
Tokens and Economy
You got Steem or Steem Dollars for playing SteemNova. It wasn't a big amount, because SteemNova is a free2play game.
However, we want to make people feel part of the community.
We have been thinking about creating a token on one of Steem platforms (Steem-Engine) for a long time. Of course, it may seem like a token like a token, nothing interesting.
We want our tokens (which you will receive for playing) to be able to buy various things:
- Games on DGameShop (maybe on DGameMarket too, but we don't guarantee it)
- Using in our projects (we are in an advanced stage of creating a browser game)
- We are also thinking about improving your SteemNova account for tokens, for example:
- Buying temporary improvements
- Exchange for resources (Metal, Crystal, Deuterium, Dark Matter).
- Buy ads on SteemNova, DGameShop / DGameMarket, HelloBot etc. (concept).
Of course, good players will get tokens for free, just like Steem and SBD now.
Steem Keychain?
One of the developers proposed to add support for Steem Keychain - a login tool. I think it's a good idea.
The events
We also want to introduce various types of events and anomalies from time to time. For example, a planet will appear in some solar system, you need to locate it and destroy the defense, for which the reward will be tokens / Steem / SBD.
The plan can also assume negative scenarios - due to the supernova explosion, half of the ships on the planets are destroyed.
Reduction/removal of free dark matter
Some people complained that obtaining DM in the game is too easy - just wait. In Ogame you can buy it or get it from exploration.
Some people suggest that it should be the same in SteemNova. Sell Dark Matter for tokens or from get for free from exploration.
Statistics
Applications such as Steem Apps show statistics on the use of applications on Steem. Unfortunately SteemNova although it is an active game does not send data to blockchain.
Converting the game to blockchain Steem is difficult and has drawbacks (e.g. long waiting time for transactions - in Nextcolony it's hard to send the fleet in 30 seconds).
But we can store different data, active users and so on. This will allow us to obtain current statistics from the game.
Support for new players
Catching up with the players is a difficult challenge. We want to introduce a system that will make it possible to catch up with players faster by providing them with more resources and dark matter to start.
For example, in the first week of the game you will get 500 metal and 500 crystal, but if you start playing after a month you will get 600 metal and crystal.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything. Remember that these are only proposals that we would like to implement, but we want to know your opinion.
Like the idea of two games, SteemNova 1 and 2. Or maybe let everyone carry over their setup to the new game. Lots of work building an Empire and still new here. It would be too much for me to continue playing if my current Empire were destroyed.
I like the direction.
But separating the players, aka more playable uni, this will be a bad decision, we saw it not only the Ogame, but all of the gameforge games.
Its hard to defend the slow death of the game as it is now. It needs the new blood of active users. Still I would be bummed to lose all the growth that has been made in exchange for a game reboot with some new features. I never played OGame. Did read that they had a reputation system the put a stiff penalty for the huge well developed to attack small new forming accounts. idk sounds like some time and effort has be put into the replacement. Addition of private token is the way most seem to be going. That should be interesting. Best of luck switching to the new and improved.
big news !
great ideas, but iam not happy if the game restarts and all have to begin again
Let there be 2 games at once, the old SteemNova and the new SteemNova (SteemNova 2).
I might start playing again, if the server restarted.
I agree for restart only if ALL gameplay bugs will be fixed. Otherwise there is no point to do it. I am not going to play...
Great to see more game development on The Chain. 😎
