Hey everyone!
A quick update on things before tomorrow's Roadmap.
GOLD Rebalance
The ongoing economy rework's next phase continues. Expect to see repair costs for increase as we rework the calculations after the loss of Breadcrumbs. Also increased gold cost for Potions but reduced top line Bread Cost.
The shopkeeper/item costs/buyback prices will be next. Max gold for a player will become a thing of the past.
COMBAT
In the last 24 hours combat has moved up our list of things to rework. All the way to 1st or 2nd depending how you look at it.
2 big changes you will see coming are LUCK/CRIT will be reworked & abilities will NOT STACK. As we are testing abilities on item SETS, stacking is BROKEN. Expect to see it removed very, very soon.
Now some players said they want a longer time on the roadmap to make adjustments. This is your warning that abilities will NOT STACK. So if you team is 3 Hero's all with Enemy Life reduction. You may want to think about some other Hero's.
A $10 USD & A $5 USD Hero sold in the last 36 hours so the market for Hero's is picking up. It was basically zero for many months. (The marketplace stream in discord is broke right now, but these purchases are recorded on my account on the Blockchain if you want to verify)
POTION UPDATE
Min-rework today, Check them out!
The GOlD / Bread prices are adjusted. The top potions are reduced from 50 Bread to 25 Bread (Bread is still on sale in the Bakery)
New Flavor text was added when you click on View Details.
Also in today's post picture you will some of the New artwork that is in the game (but undiscovered) for some new items.
ARTWORK UPDATE
Some players are not happy with the new EPIC item artwork. We all know artwork is subjective but we are working on making the Trident easier to see. (Due to player feedback)
The marketplace interface is being rewritten to make item pictures more of a focus, so you can enjoy the artwork.
Good looking games are more fun to play!!
Currently in game items are Normal or Epic. All non-epic items were given what we are calling COMMON artwork.
The new item types will be COMMON, UNCOMMON, RARE, EPIC & LEGENDARY. We have only released the common artwork as the only items in the game are COMMON. As the rework wraps up you will discover newer item's while questing along with new artwork.
SKINS for Items are coming so you can change up the look of your items
As always thanks for playing!

We love to get BEER & BRO Tokens in the comments!
For those of you who read the whole article. I am also working on a Tavern where you can have "Bar Fights" & do a little wagering.
After the redesign, the most important and least defined aspect of this game is the monetary part. Playing the game should be profitable for the players, or they will switch to other games. The concept of a game that requires a significant amount of time, as is the case here, is applicable if the game offers either great quality and satisfaction, or if the game is profitable. Holybread is neither at the moment. Friendly advice is to develop this aspect of the game as soon as possible.
It is currently possible to buy the currency 'bread' for liquid assets or by delegation. However, that transaction is not possible in the opposite direction, which makes investing in bread meaningless. Also, the currency 'gold' has no value except in the game. Even with the transfer of value from gold to bread, there is no monetization because bread still remains a dead end. Currently, the only way to make a payment in this game is to sell heroes or assets to another player. The economy of the game is one-way. All investments in the game are directed towards the creators, while all monetization from the game are directed from the player to other players. The first goal of the creator should be to balance this concept.
The monetization of participation in the game by voting on the comments on the Hive blockchain is not direct. Hive voting is not a division of liquid assets created by playing the game, but a division of Hive currency created by mining. Game has no influence on Hive mining nor on Hive value. The possible impact of the game on the value of the Hive currency exists only if monetization is possible in all directions. As things currently stand, it is not possible to recoup the funds or time invested in this game.
As Always thanks for the feedback.
We are currently the only Free to play game on Hive. It takes no investment. You can just log-in and play.
While other games you have to spend money to start. (Splitnerlands, dcity, Exode)
I have to disagree that our game takes a significant amount of time, however we are working on things that will make daily "upkeep" take less time.
Our design philosophy is to make a fun game with a strong community that will onboard more users to Hive to play with us.
Our company goal is to become sustainable so we do not collapse like so many other games. We are just getting started.
We would love for players to come on this journey with us, but you if you are looking for the highest APR on a so called "investment" our game may not be a good fit for you.(at this time)
If you want to be part of something that is building out some unique aspects of blockchain marketplace's we would love to have you.
We are not your traditional blockchain gaming company.
We never ask our players for an Up-front Investment to play.
We ask our players to play with us
We are moving from a P2W (Pay-to-win) model to more of a Freemium model. This type of transition takes time and we are only just at the beginning of it.
yup, potions become really cheap with gold earlier.
But few things are needed.
Rewards for top players is coming.
Burn Value of Hero's is in interesting concept. We may do that as an Event.
