Today we are very excited to announce the beta for our first dapp being released on the EOS mainnet. We took notice that all, by all we mean 100%, of games being released on blockchains were simply copy paste clones of games that already exist, and additionally many are also built on very unsustainable economic models. We wondered what it would be like if an original game was built on blockchain, with an economic model that was fun, simple enough for anyone to play, but still secure and liquid. Instead of just recreating something that already exists, could we craft a totally new experience using the blockchain and what would that look like? This is how we came up with HodlGod, the first ever turn-based battle royale game. You heard that right, this is the first, there are no others… yet.
What is HodlGod and What makes it special?
HodlGod is a battle royale title, just like Fortnite, everyone is battling to be the last man standing. However in HodlGod, winning is more than a bragging right, you are paid in cryptocurrency to play and win. While in-game you will be able to explore, fight monsters, find loot and find bonus crypto, but be careful as you can also run into other players. If you eliminate another player in-game, all of the crypto he earned from that match will be transferred to you. You may have the opportunity to escape during a match and keep all of the crypto you earned, but ofcourse if you are eliminated and do not manage to escape or win then all of your earnings from that match are liquidated. Each match can have up to 1000 players. Unlike most other crypto-games, HodlGod is not pay to win. Every player in every match starts with zero loot, and zero coins, there is NOTHING you can buy beforehand that will give you an advantage in this game.
The game also features a unique team building system integrated into the smart contract. Users will be able to start their own HodlGod team, or choose to join an existing team. Team owners can sponsor players for a guaranteed 50/50 profit split distributed between the player and the owner after every match. We see this as a great mechanic for community building and onboarding new users, as well as an opportunity for those that would like to turn their team into a proper business.
Also did I mention that this title will be free to play? Yes, you will be able to play and earn for free indefinitely as long as you have a Voice ID. Won’t being free to play ruin the economy though? Not at all, because the free to play lobbies will have significantly reduced rewards and with Voice ID we can assure that only real people are playing and not bots. Players will have the option to buy or stake to acquire credits for premium lobbies. The premium lobbies are where the real fun happens!
How do VOID Hodlers benefit?
VOID will be the primary driver for all of our app and product releases, including HodlGod. We love to show our appreciation to those that get on board early. A good example of this was our early bird staking dapp. Those that staked early are happy campers now that they’ve received their promised 2x return. Anyone holding VOID at the initial release will receive massive freebies for a limited amount of time. If you missed staking, you still have a chance to get on board now. Not leaking any specific details quite yet, just be ready :)
VOID is currently available for purchase on NewDex and WhaleEx .
