YouTube Video UCBsOl5vtP6Ut-md5FAL0m5Q_Z4olbS4IXes Ascenders, an up and coming AAA blockchain game, continues to build and expand their influence despite market fear and looming recession. The game has partnered with GuildFi, a large Crypto Gaming guild, to give away 50,000 AGC tokens in a new limited time mode. 

Ascenders is an open-world story-driven game with a decentralized player-driven economy to deliver a new ARPG (Action Role-playing Game) experience. Built by Legendary Foundry Limited, the game is powered by Avalanche blockchain and features a dual token economy and NFTs created by players. The Ascenders ecosystem consists of various opportunities for competition and trade. Players can choose from various play-to-earn roles and specialize in them with its challenges and resources.

While the game is still in the development stage, Legendary Foundry has released a comprehensive combat demo to showcase the possibilities of the game. One of the more striking aspects of Ascenders is the quality of both gameplay and graphics. Below is a screenshot from my own time playing the Ascenders combat demo. 

In sharp contrast to other games in the Play to Earn genre thus far, Ascenders has the graphics and world building to rival many traditional games. 

If you want to learn more about the game and its various mechanics, Play to Earn has done a previous article diving deep into tokenomics, gameplay, NFT use, etc. 
https://www.playtoearn.online/2022/03/27/ascenders-releases-its-first-free-to-play-demo-with-a-1-million-agc-prize-pool/

Ascenders has also been deliberate with the organizations that they partner with. Guildfi, a major gaming guild in the crypto space, partnered with Ascenders to sponsor the Robot v. Human limited time event mentioned earlier. This partnership is only one of many, as this is the 3rd limited time event since the initial release of the combat demo in March. 

Previous Limited Time Events:
- Easter Egg Hunt Challenge
- Rolling Robot Time Trial 
- GuildFi Survival Challenge 

Partnerships

In addition to high quality gameplay and consistent building, Ascenders has been building out its investor showcase. Since the Avalanche summit in March, they’ve expanded their backers and feature industry names such as:
Paramount Capital 
Defiance Capital
Blizzard
Firestorm Capital

With the help of Paramount Capital, Ascenders has raised in excess of 6 million USD to act as funding while the company works to build its core gameplay and world. With these backers, it’s unlikely that Ascenders will fail from financial issues. As crypto markets flounder, this may become essential to success for game studios. 
 
With the potential for a bear market looming, teams that build good products and provide for their followers and fan bases will be in the best positions for success when markets inevitably return to a bull mentality.  Ascenders plans to ship their full game in late 2023, and if the early combat demos are any indicator, there is massive potential hiding in this ecosystem. 

The combat demo and any active limited-time events are available for PC and Mac on the official Ascenders Website.

Following an extensive testing period, and three successful land sales (with the top plot sold for over 1 million dollars), Mines of Dalarnia, also named MoD, released their game on mainnet on the 26th of April 2022.
The launch was a discrete success for the Mines of Dalarnia team and their community, after a bouncy start due to slow BNB transactions and some users having difficulties claiming their lands.

In the first week alone, the game got 8,000+ active players completing over 310,000 mining sessions. The team even had to set up special maintenance to pair up with the demand.

We finally got our hands on illuvium's private beta. No PvP yet, only survival mode is available, but the current version of the game is already beautiful and lets you get familiar with the different illuvials and their abilities.
Let's have a look at the gameplay, the roadmap ahead and the upcoming land sale information.

Illuvium: Zero Land Sale Info
This first land sale plays out over three days. With new batches of plots released every hour once it starts. Each sale batch contains 278 plots and lasts for two hours. This sale uses what the Illuvium team calls a declining price model, with the price for plots decreasing by 2.5% every minute. This leads to an estimated price reduction of about 30% after one hour.

Lands are generative NFTs and minted on IMX after purchase. Details of the plots include Element Sites, Fuel Sites, and Landmarks. The type of Sites and Landmarks generates randomly. But, the number present on a plot remains fixed, based on plot Tier. So within each tier, there will still be quite a bit of variety. And some plots will certainly be more valuable than others.

Tier 1: 3 Element Sites, 1 Fuel Site, no Landmarks, no production boost
Tier 2: 6 Element Sites, 3 Fuel Sites, no Landmarks, 33.3% boost
Tier 3: 9 Element Sites, 6 Fuel Sites, 1 Element Landmark, 100% boost
Tier 4: 12 Element Sites, 9 Fuel Sites, 1 Fuel Landmark, 300% boost
Tier 5: 15 Element Sites, 12 Fuel Sites, 1 Arena, 900% boost

Two Tier 5 plots will be auctioned off during a live stream event on Twitch. Interested buyers can purchase plots either with ETH or sILV2 (earned by staking ILV on the official site). The Tier 5 auctions only accept bids in ETH.

Don’t expect to get ahold of this land cheaply. Tier 1 lands start at 2 ETH, while Tier 4 lands start at 80 ETH! With the decreasing prices and staggered release, I would expect plots to be available at lower price points. But, with the recent frenzy over Otherside, we may see a land rush here as well.

Land Utility
Landowners earn revenue by producing Fuel, used for all in-game transactions. The value of Fuel will not be stable. Instead, the Fuel cost for all game actions will remain the same. Leaving it up to players to determine the appropriate value. However, the proposal outlines that the DAO can automatically change its contribution to the Fuel pool if the price varies by more than 25%.

There are three types of Elements and three types of Fuel resources. Landmarks affect production of the associated Elements or Fuel. And while owning a plot focused on one type of resource production may be an advantage in some ways, owning different types of Sites can help with converting resources. Elements and Fuel are used for item production, building upgrades and research. Research opens opportunities to create blueprint NFTs.

The team wants to provide many strategic options and decisions for the players. From placement of buildings (some work better together, others don’t) to resource management to working the markets to researching Illuvials. They seem to already have a decent foundation for developing several avenues of gameplay. And with potential ties into the larger Illuvial gaming universe, land plots could provide ongoing value into the future.
