Holo everyone!
Yesterday we opened up a few threads in our Discord's #suggestions channel.
Today I figured there's an improvement that could be made to make this activity more rewarding and incentivized for anyone wanting to participate!
Before we go into the idea, let's give you a quick rundown on what this is all about.
As you know, we have 3 classes of healers coming up in Holozing; Nature, Ocean and Light. Their healing abilities will come from that "element", with nature healers starting out with spells like "thorn shield" while light healers have "sacred shield" and ocean healers have "healing rain". The healers will also have some synergies with certain creature types, for instance the Ocean healer will be more efficient at healing up water and ice type creatures while also granting resistances to their friendly creatures when fighting those types!
Anyway, our healers won't have stats on their own when they are minted, they'll mostly be cosmetic until you start equipping them with items and gear which will increase their base stats!
Therefore, we will be doing a generative NFT collection with the Alpha Healers. This means that for all 3 classes and two genders, when you mint a healer you will randomly receive a gender and class and the looks they have will be randomized to build the final outcome.
A quick preview from our Discord channel #resources:
These are the default looks of the healers and how they'll be represented in 3d:
but when you go to mint the 2d nft of the healer, the hair, pose, colors, accessories, background, clothing, etc, may look slightly to very different based on how lucky you are! For instance the Ocean Female Healer from the screenshot above in the middle of the second row can go from looking like a version of that to something like this:
While most will attempt to stay true to the original looks and only slightly vary, some rare ones will be golden, diamond and even holo-colored as shown above!
What we want the community to help us with is give us ideas of what other assets to include and for which healer classes!
Thus we have opened some threads in the #suggestions channel to give everyone a chance to participate and recommend different assets for us to consider adding. This'll help us to make sure there's as many unique things for each of them so that when they're minted, no matter the supply, they'll be unique to mints from other players!
Here's an example of a suggestion I made for the ocean class healers:
We are even working on some common healer background themes as we're wanting to allow players to mint the healers as soon as possible!
even some rarer backgrounds with more details befitting the classes!
Okay so how would this be more fun and rewarding for participants putting in some time to come up with some cool suggestions?
Users could post their suggestions as snaps in the holozing community snap page: https://peakd.com/c/hive-131131/snaps, then link the snap to our Discord suggestions channel to make sure we won't miss it! This way if you propose something we really like we can give it an upvote as a thanks!
So if you have some cool ideas, either for all healers or maybe just for one of the genders or one of the classes or maybe even one of the genders of a specific class, feel free to snap it and paste the link to the appropriate thread in our discord!
This will help us a lot to focus on turning the suggestions into layers for our generative NFT collection of healers and save us some time from looking for ideas to include ourselves! (We have a lot of things to do)
Anyway, let me know what you think of it all! Thanks for reading and participating, those that do!
More development!
So nice to see a developer not only open for suggestions from the public, but rewarding them for their input. Other games are released and you simply have to take what you are given.
If is bringing the game to life for me a little more with each variation and I can’t wait to see the suggestions & entries! Maybe I will be able to participate too.
HOLO!
That's cool that you are getting input from the users. I like that idea a lot. I think there are some really creative people here on HIVE, so you should get some good ideas!
It's nice to engage the community on this! Looking forward to read some of the suggestions here. Hehe!
I'd love to see some cool eyewear, like sunglasses or laser eye vizors or whatever of that kinds xD
But just regular black frame dark sunglasses would be the coolest to have an option to equip on a sunny day. Or as the RNG generator goes, I will probably end up with pink frame yellow glass reading glasses :U
What about holo-colored glasses?
Oh yeaah! I'd take thoseeee :D
They are beautiful😎
Wow! These healers with the backgrounds look really nice!
It's kind of hard for me to think of unique assets that have something to do with their class and isn't too obvious like a hat, shirt, glasses or earrings.
But I'll keep it in mind. If something comes up I'll share it.
We'll take those suggestions too, just try finding something you think would fit them all or specific classes. There are no "wrong answers" really, I mean, obviously don't spam and suggest bad stuff on purpose but certain things could always give us new ideas and improvisations from there!
The healers look so beautiful as they are, I don't even know what could make them better :D
I wouldn't want to see them get too cluttered with accessories, but if we can choose what to equip and not then for a photoshoot we could get them to how we like
Maybe my idea would be to add wrist accessories, like watches and wristbands.
Thing is at this time in-game items you acquire won't change the way your NFT profile pic is, it's more like "how your healer starts out" when you mint it, some may already come ready with a capture device in the pfp and with rare items and accessories, but when it comes to the game it'll be a different thing.
Similarly with 3D the pfp's won't reflect on it as it'll be way too much work and cost for us to get into handling at this stage of the project, however in the future once we start dabbling with other genres of games we may look into getting all that done too!
Watches and wristbands sound great, especially for the versions where hands are more visible, such as these ones for instance:
Make sure to suggest some you think may fit a certain class/gender well and provide some references if you can find them and we'll give it a consideration for our healer artist to include! :)
I think most wrist accessories would fit well on both genders, but for classes I don't even know. I guess wristwear is quite universally fitting for all, with only a few exceptions.
I found these on google that I thought would be cool on Holozing healers
A futuristic watch
This spiky wrist thing
This diamond bracelet would be more suited for female genders
First one's a great one definitely! As for the last one, keep in mind many will be using healing gloves as that's a requirement to cast heals on your holo creatures^^
btw, if you wanna add each suggestion one at a time you could "snap" them here: https://peakd.com/c/hive-131131/snaps (it's a hive comment basically but snapped into our community), then you could simply copy the link of the snap and paste it in our discord server under the suggestion channel so we have them all in one place and can go over them properly while casting some votes!
dang some of these look amazing! I love the idea of generative NFTs that should have been a massive thing in the last bull run but never seemed to really take hold. Artwork looks to be improving and shaping up nicely. Any updates on the core game itself and possible release in 2025?
Wow I love these different styles and backgrounds a lot! Will give it some thoughts if I have any idea for different ones I will share them for sure..
The ideas and designs of each of the characters and Holos are extremely impressive, I am very happy to see how much effort they put into creating a good video game and the designers and illustrators are doing an amazing job.
I love the idea; I hope I can participate and that you like some of my proposals.🙏💕
please do! :)
Thank you
Nice initiative, let's see if I can come up with some ideas
Gathering ideas that the community can contribute is spectacular maybe I had thought of a necklace or something like that
I hope to be able to participate
I would love to participate, I'm going to think a lot about several ideas.
It is great idea to take suggestions and ideas from holozians... In this way you will have plenty of suggestions...
Holozing will going to be great in future, eagerly waiting for it's Launch..
The art looks like it is coming along nicely. Cant wait to see the final game one day.
!PIZZA
I am excited about the developments in Holozing. I need to think about the suggestions a bit more. Even if I can contribute a little, it would be a great pleasure for me.
I'm happy to see these developments happening around here.
wow so beautiful and impressive. good to know your a good developer
The healers picked want to have the same similarities with avatar. For me no suggestion cause it is just perfect others might have great ideas though
