Large orders allow backers to customize a Legendary Card and have it illustrated by our artist @shinoXL.
In addition to that, the new character is added to the booster collection; this way all players benefit from all this! So far we have two legendary cards implemented that way.
And the first is Captain Cranium, a fearsome pirate.
Who became this card:
Captain Cranium is a great option if you want to go "the Albator way"; being the best Space Combat Officer at the moment. He also turns your Origin to Criminal which means you can recruit Criminals in your crew.
However that comes with a tradeoff: with Cranium pirate ways, you can no longer recruit your military, science or any other restricted faction crew!
People with Syndicate contracts have a way to use him interestingly too.
Many Syndicate cards are also criminals.
Please follow exodenews to learn more, as they published more about this!
But as you can see: with a Secret Agenda, a violent behavior and a low morality, Captain Cranium needs to be kept entertained!
This card is part of the booster collection and can only be found in boosters.
Please remember this is alpha and stats are not final.
What else is going on in eXode?
The playable alpha was updated three times this week with new features and fixes.
The collection page and market too received updates every day, bringing in important fixes and security updates.
Yet two thirds of our time is also spent on the card collection this month. This is because of the two amazing events we are setting up, with Contract opening (extremely soon now) and Booster opening.
We are rolling in some final art, adjusting stats, spending a lot more time in collection design, and meanwhile we don't forget the playable alpha updates - making EVAC closer to the experience we want it to be! Because at the end of this month, it's HIVE rewards time!
Also next week; playable cards put in your game.
Games are now launched from your collection and initiated on the blockchain. This broadcast will receive your play cards in the next days.
==============================================
Please note that this version is not the one valid for Evacuation rewards - the score and demo is here for fun and preview and maybe to get you some training.
Things will become real by the end of this month!
==============================================
EXODE is a space colonization game on HIVE.
Playing it needs a 8 USD Starter and the game accepts HIVE coins, STEEM coins and Paypal.
It is currently in playable alpha. We are still two weeks in its alpha and many features will be added in May. You can discover the game with its concept video or its alpha footage!
More information about EXODE can also be found on our website, our Discord, or multiple posts such as this one about our epic characters, or this trailer made by a fan, or this review or this one .
There are many other reviews I like, such as this one too from @blueeyes8960 . It was from April and we added so much since!
Need some directions? @jacobpeacock made a tutorial here.
Need more? feel free to ask on our Discord!
Wow! This is magnifique! I'm without words...
There are some pretty amazing criminal cards, but what about the good guys!
You know, Space Paladins.
In space theres no good guys.
You have made @cranium famous! He certainly deserves it!
Awesome new card! Since I have the Syndicate contract, I hope to see him show up in arsenal!
Amazing! I wish I could also have such cool card) But i guess it is possible only to some millionaire player)
The card is there in all boosters!
Legendaries have a 1% chance to come out.
Count your boosters, every 20 boosters, there is a 'fair chance' (fair being some kind of odd word with random rolls, I know I know, sometimes it's better to have more boosters just to make sure).
I meant the card with my nickname :) But thank you for statistics)
You just gave us the idea to create a player reward somewhere, like a yearly ranking, a very special tournament involving all players or something, that could involve a new card at some point.
Thanks!
Maybe "The Stranger" will appear someday!
Thank you for creativity! Of course I will try luck in such tournament! Anyway, I know some Special Person in exode discord that can create some "Stranger Navy leitenant")) You know what I mean:) Of course,it won't be legendary but should be epic ))
Completely agree with @steemmillionaire - simply amazing! 🤩
One question: How big an order is needed to put a custom card into production? Also how much creative freedom is given to the “benefactor”? I.e. did @cranium choose the perks himself or just that it should be a criminal-combat related setting? :)
Sorry if these questions are answered somewhere already 😅
Thank you @eshawn!
This process was refined actually thanks to our first backers in April who suggested it. So it's something made also thanks to player feedback.
For the creative part (mechanics and choice of theme) we can get into much detail or actually just listen to some direction or generic theme and work from there. So it is flexible!
@cranium gave us a direction: he picked a theme!
I worked with the theme to make sure the card was good, original and not 'breaking the starbase'; in this case I felt I was entrusted with the quality of the card so we could proceed on our own.
For the offer it is public, was announced in April and also detailed on wiki here.
It is not only about the cost of making a new card. It is more about replacing a discount by something different than a discount. At some point, discounts can disturb the market in "finding its fair value" so it is interesting to set something else.
In short words we have discounts (20 % at 400 boosters), then 30% at 3k usd, and the next step (5k) is replaced by that instead of an additional discount.
This is an idea that makes everything stronger, expanding the collection, the game features, and giving a nice value to the backer as well.
It is also a huge commitment to the longterm value and success of the game, of course. So it often needs to understand where we are going with EXODE.
I find this offer perfect in all aspects, but again it first came as an idea to replace a discount with more creative value for all.
Thanks for taking your time and writing a very informative answer :)
Love the idea and can definitely see a fun potential in replacing discounts with promotions like this!
Happy coding ;)
Pretty boy. This is how the process of creating history takes place. It's nice that I was able to leave my mark in one more place. Now I do not need to choose who will be my favorite card.
So nice tribute to Cranium! and also another amazing artwork by @shinoxl, I'm already a big fan of him.
Thank you my friend! Its much appreciated!😀
