As usual on Wednesdays, Luke and Heidi have arrived with new surprises and announcements from the Pixels ecosystem, and yes, now it can be called that, as the test version of the game has already been launched on Telegram. Find out this and more in the weekly summary of the OLAGG Pixels AMA.

New Systems and Mechanics

• Reputation System: New ways to increase players' reputation will be introduced, such as completing quests, interacting with pets, and participating in in-game events. This system will benefit the most active players and help combat botting. The change to reputation has also brought a change in the % that is paid in tax in the market, which is not limited to 1% of the VIP or 10% of the normal user, this score will vary depending on the dynamics of each player and their total reputation (more than 3500 points are needed to opt for 1%)
• Chapter 2.5: This update will focus on combating coin inflation and improving the game economy. Variable transaction fees based on reputation will be implemented, which will benefit the most dedicated players (it remains to be seen, there are already cases of players with less skills and playing time, paying less fees). As for a date for this update, the first change is expected on October 15th, as a promise from the team, after that, biweekly updates.
• Energy: Players will be able to buy energy directly in Pixels. It is not yet clear whether with coins or pixels, the latter option being the most likely, given the intention of giving utility to the token.
• Possible elimination of the community wine cellar and it is intended that together with the grills they become single-user.
• Industrial Limits: Limits will be set on the number of industries that can exist in each NFT plot of land to balance the economy, thus it is necessary to return to some mechanics that Chapter 1 provided.
• TB V2: An improved version of the task board is being tested, designed to be more intuitive and reward different levels.

Ecosystem Expansion

The long-awaited time for the launch of the Pixels game on Telegram has arrived, however, for now it is only in a test version, so the leaderboards should be reset in two weeks and start from 0 with a clear reward pool.

How to Play?

• Ir al bot

GO TO BOT

• Create an account, for now, you just have to verify that you are human and create a nickname.
• Start the race circuit
• There are two "controls" to move the character
• Clicking on the left side, you cross to the left and the same happens with the right.
• You have to be careful how long you hold it down, since you can skid or cross more than necessary and crash.
• Every object that is not a coin is an obstacle that makes the car explode, except for the moles, with which you must crush the largest one so that the others are hidden and you can continue.
• On the top left you can see the objective, there are two types:
• Number of laps
• Number of taps or clicks (you can play on both PC and cell phone, but in both it takes a while to load when starting)
• Every time you crash, the entire level restarts from the finish point
• At the bottom you can find the score, coins collected, information menu and settings

• New Games: We will seek to incorporate more games into the ecosystem, using $PIXEL as the only currency and sharing elements such as reputation and NFTs with the core game, in addition to potentially providing the opportunity for unique content between games.

Featured Questions and Answers

• Reputation: Reputation will be calculated dynamically, considering various factors such as level, completed missions, and activities in the ecosystem. We can also add having certain NFTs or other elements that allow us to recognize a real player.
• Bots: The team is working on measures to combat botting and protect the game's economy.
• Pixels Tap Track: The possibility of granting rewards to players who actively participate in Pixels Tap Track is being evaluated. (It is not intended for these first two weeks, THEY ARE TEST)
• Staking: Staking options will be explored to gain access to exclusive elements of the game. It is not enough to just get an APR, it does not add utility, real incentives are necessary such as early access to some NFT or event.
• Mechanics for higher levels: The game is currently obsolete once you reach high levels, for this, it is essential to add new dynamics that attract, such as merchant ships, etc. The commitment of the Pixels team seems increasingly clear, evidently not only because of what is happening within the Pixels world, but also because of the great competition that is coming in the entire WEB3 Gaming ecosystem, a great boom and acceptance is being evidenced. Therefore, there is still time for everyone to be part of this revolution, do not miss out on the opportunities that arise every day.
