Auria | Decentralized Club 💎

Yes a minute for the community to digest

Next question….

Q2. Can you elaborate on the gameplay ?

Andrey Gustomeaov

At its core, Project Hive is a turn-based RPG, featuring PVP and PVE battles. Players will craft NFT equipment and in-game abilities, which are called Protocols. Winning will reward players with IGT, HGT or SOL

Core principles of Combat system:-
Low barrier for entry

-The game will feature 1v1, 3v3 in the game’s PVP and PVE modes — and also 3v1 Boss PVE Battles

-Player has to create or purchase CyberConstruct (in-game avatar) to start playing the game.

-CyberConstructs equip various NFT items (armor & weapon)

-Players will create a unique character build, using NFT-based equipment (armor & weapons), as well as Protocols of their choice

-Each piece of armor and weapon is a one-of-a-kind item, with a unique set of attributes, basic stats and attributes, based on their combinations

-Players will acquire Protocols by playing through the PVE campaign.

Our vision is the Protocol system will allow players to build vastly different decks, and experiment with Protocol synergy, allowing for in-depth customization

Energy charges

CyberConstructs have a limited number of available energy charges which restores on a daily basis. For PvE battles, the energy charge is used by default when entering the arena and can’t be turned off. In PVP fights player has to specifically use the energy charge prior the opponents search to be able to claim the reward and rating. Otherwise, the PVP fight is considered as a training fight and won’t provide both opponents with any benefits except player’s personal skill and experience growth.

Class System:

There is no traditional class-based system in Project Hive. Players gain the initial class skills by equipping CyberConstruct with weapon and armor pieces of the same set. After that CyberConstruct should be considered as ready to play and acquire its class.

Weapons and armor pieces from different sets can’t be equipped together outside the certain class. However, CyberConstruct can change its class simply by equipping a different set of items.

Additional skills to be acquired by playing PVE campaign. Any class can gain access to any skills except class-specific ones. We believe that such system will bring a huge number of different builds for experiments as well as let players keep their individuality.

Classes:

The game will feature 4 class Archetypes, and 22 Classes within them.

The Archetype defines the general specification of the character — a Tank, a Damage Dealer, etc

The Class will specify the individual gameplay features of the character.

Battle System

The core gameplay mechanics consist of two types of battles: Player vs Player and Player vs AI.

Participation in daily in-game PvP/PvE activities is the primary source of IGT.

The game will feature 1v1, 3v3 in the game’s PVP and PVE modes — and also 3v1 Boss PVE Battles.

PvP actions available in the game:

Arena battles with randomly selected players among the same rank

Territory Wars for taking control over the specific locations (Hive cells)

Recurring in-game events

PvE actions available in the game:

PVE chapters

Recurring in-game events

Epic Boss Battles

I think that’s enough about gameplay 😀

Wow woww wow😍😍

Next question…..

Q3. Can you tell us about the Avatars and Custodial Staking as well?

Andrey Gustomeaov

NFT avatars — This Is our first and most important collection.

We got only 3737 pieces and it will never be more

NFT avatars got really great utility

Such as:
A unique in-game visual aura for the player’s character model

You allready can check it in the game

In-game attribute increase

Access to the Whitelist of the governance token, holders of which will have a significant impact on the game’s future

Access to both custodial and non-custodial staking, which are at its core Airdrops for the game’s IGT tokens, with sizable pools.

Access to additional promotional events for the community

Access to the Whitelist for purchase of Starter Packs — which will include a CyberConstruct and a bundle of armor and weapons

NFT holders will receive a WL spot in the mint of СyberСonstructs (playable NFT characters). Cyberconstructs’ Starter Packs numbers during the mint will be strictly limited. New players will have to purchase or rent CyberConstructs and equipment created by existing players in order to start playing the game.

So, about our staking

The user can stake NFTs and get IGT. The higher the NFT rarity and the more you stake, the greater the revenue.

Non-custodial stacking is already active and many holders receive their rewards. You can see for yourself, just visit our website on the staking page.

Today we are launching a custodial staking. There will be even more daily rewards there. But there it will be necessary to lock NFT in smartcontract.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that the number of slots for stacking is limited and this has additional value. Only 25% of all collection in each rarity can be used for stacking in the custodial pool. So don’t miss the chance to take advantage of the limited offer.

And one more thing about IDO private round allocation

All NFT holders will got allocation in the private round for the purchase of the most important token in the game HGT. The higher the rarity and bigger the quantity, the greater the allocation.

If you are following our announcements, you have probably already seen the allocation table. Well, this is also a very profitable offer and another reason to keep our NFT avatars.

Btw, soon we will launch an upgrade

2D avatars -> 3D avatars

Done

Auria | Decentralized Club 💎

Impressive 💯

Q4. What is the utility of the $HGT token and how does one acquire it?

Andrey Gustomeaov

HGT got really great utility, such as: crafting, staking, win2earn, voting system, gambling

Crafting
requires players to spend HGT to create late game equipment. Also, you’ll need HGT to craft premium playable characters with in-built stats

Staking
Is very common. In Hive we have a dual token system, so staking won’t affect inflation of HGT in the long run.

This mechanics motivate community for a long term hold and effectively reduce circulation supply

Win2Earn
is what opens a road to cybersports and gamblers community

Playing tactical fights in Hive is like playing poker or chess games.

is a vary convinient for players and easy to use.

Provides players with additional reason to holf HGT rather than trade or spend

So we got many locks and burns in game mechanics

Thats why HGT tokenomics really great. You can check it in our WP

Done

Auria | Decentralized Club 💎

Great!!!

Moving on to our last question of this segment

- IDO for our governance token HGT in june

- CyberConstructs sale in july

- First demo multiplayer game release — soon

Btw, we allready have a playble Beta

You can download it on our website

Next question…..

Q.2 As we have Lot of P2E strategy based games are coming into the market & to survive in such competitive market projects need to upgrade themselves on timely & regular basis. What Project Hive have planned to stay competitive in this P2E dynamic market?
Twitter question from @miyamee11

Andrey Gustomeaov

We see some issues in the market and we can give them some solutions

Features: Gameplay

Issue:

Don’t offer gaming experience, instead they create gamified farming system that allow little to no actual gameplay.

Solution:

We are creating an actual gaming experience. Blockchain, DEFI and NFT techs are supporting the ecosystem as a whole, rather than becoming the only reason to get involved with a project. We aim to create demand for the in-game assets, farmed by guilds and regular farmers. We are creating numerous game mechanics to make players engaged and hooked, getting back to the game every single day.

Features: Assets

Issue:

Most GameFi projects use either low quality 3D assets purchased elsewhere or 2D pixel graphics.

Solution:

Every asset including 3D models, environments, VFX effects and animations of AAA-quality are created by renowned artists from scratch. Every single avatar and item is an NFT asset, meaning they can be collected, enhanced and traded using our own NFT marketplace.

Features: Economics

Issue:

Game economy is fully dependent on the constant inflow of new players. Unbalanced supply/demand curves of in-game assets/tokens trading.

Solution:

We understand who our audience really is. The game is built for both heavy spenders and regular players supporting demand for the in-game assets. We are not only creating an innovative project with challenging game modes, gorgeous visuals and entertaining game mechanics. By introducing win-to-earn mechanics we are also providing players with an outside source of income that won’t affect inflation rate of in-game tokens.

In simple words

we are making a game

By cryptoenthusiasts and gamers for cryptoenthusiasts and gamers

Next question…..

Q.3 for Clan System,it is usually when players regularly play together in one or more multiplayers games.So can you tell us the makeup of your Clan System?Will there be some kind of gaming competition in the Clan System? And what will be the system for players to withdraw their rewards, will it be necessary to link to a specific wallet to enter the game?

Twitter question from @viangul

Andrey Gustomeaov

In Project Hive, players can create or join a clan to participate in Territory Wars, PVE boss fights and receive in-game bonuses for clan membership.

Any player can create its own or join an existing clan.
A clan can has a limited number of members, growing with each Rank

Clan members in game activity ranks up their clan
All members receive certain advantages depending on clan’s rank.

Clan War is a recurring bi-weekly multiplayer PvP event. Clans fight with each other to take control over a particular territory (Cell in Hive). Conquered territory provides passive income rewards for a winning clan.

Only one Cell is available to conquer at the time of release. However, the number of Cells will grow eventually, based on the marketplace activity. All Cells are formed due to the amount of fees received from company’s funds invested in different outside staking pools. Those fees are paid to Cells holders on a bi-weekly basis.

Prior the game launches, our team will fully fund the initial Cell’s staking pool with funds collected from HGT sales rounds. The first Cell rewards will be paid in SOL as a first pool of team’s choice.

Part of fees from operations on the marketplace got transfered into the different outside staking pools. DAO community votes for a pool of choice for every cell, except the first one. In the end, our community will decide to lower the risk and reward, or maybe high risk cells will appear eventually with insane potential gains.

New Cell forms after a certain amount of fees get collected from the marketplace trades. The amount is subject to change due to a DAO voting event.

Cells ownership resets bi-weekly. The number of Cells will always be limited, while the player base will constantly grow. Clans have to join a Bidding Auction, to get an opportunity for a fight.

Bidding Auction is a time-limited reccuring in-game event with real-time bidding mechanics. All clans are allowed to bid regardless of their rank or number of members. Top two bidders for each Cell will fight each other in a Clan Battle. After the fight is over, the winning clan receives both bids minus a small fee, from the winner and loser. All other bids return to bidding clans. The Auction process is a part of the Clan Contract mechanics.

Thank you

Questions Asked by our Decentralized club members during live session to Project Hive team!

Q.1 [ Gutierrez04 ]
You say that “there are ONLY 3737 NFT AVAILABLE AND THERE WILL NEVER BE MORE”, but really why limit to this amount? and also will a certain amount of NFT be sold in stages? Or will they really launch all of them on the market at the same time?

Andrey Gustomeaov

There are only 3737 pieces in our first collection. We are very grateful to our holders and give them great advantages. The following collections will also be limited in number. But players will be able to craft new NFTs in the game and sell and lease them to new players. This is a very cool opportunity. We call it my little Empire 😀

Q.2 [ Robot2.0 ]
