GM optimism!
On behalf of the DFArchon team, I am excited to announcement that we have reached Milestone 1 of Dark Forest ARES project, which received an OP grant in Season 5, Cycle 22.
In this post, we detail what has been delivered and what’s next. We encourage everyone, especially those interested in innovative game mechanics, to join our community, try out the game, and share your feedback.
What is Dark Forest ARES & DFAres v0.1 Round 3?
Dark Forest ARES is a community-run development of Dark Forest. We periodically conduct development and game testing activities, experimenting with innovative game mechanics and gathering feedback from real players.
From March to May 2024, we worked on the development of DFAres v0.1 Round 3. In May, we held a six-day DFAres v0.1 Round 3 game event on the Redstone mainnet. Over the course of 144 hours, we attracted more than 240 accounts to participate in the game, with players submitting over 240,000 transactions.
What we delivered
-
We introduced the Pink Bomb and Kardashev artifacts and adjusted the functionality of existing artifacts. These changes maintain game balance while allowing for more complex player strategies, thus enhancing game depth. The Pink Bomb releases an explosion that destroys all planets within a pink circle, making it a powerful weapon for attacking enemies. When activated, the Kardashev artifact creates a blue circle within which all planets can instantly transfer their energy to the central planet, making it a powerful tool for resource management.
-
DarkSea NFT Trading Market Update: We updated the DarkSea trading market for in-game artifacts (NFT721), allowing players to trade artifacts freely.
-
Bounty Hunter System: We implemented the Bounty Hunter system, enabling players to post assassination bounties on specific planets. Players can attack these planets to earn bounties.
-
In-Game Resource Trading System: Players can now purchase planets, spaceships, and planet skins, allowing them to acquire the resources they need to better compete in the game rankings.
