Clash Of Streamers | News & Progress Report March 2022

in LeoFinance2 years ago (edited)

I'm going into my 10th month playing the Mobile Blockchain NFT Play2Earn Game Clash Of Streamers and I continue to make a monthly post with some development updates along with the personal progress I'm making.


Clash Of Streamers Development News

A lot happens each month when it comes down to the development of the game and each evening there is a stream on Athenelive Twitch channel 20:00 (Belgian Time) with the latest news which I tend to put on in the background. Here are some of the things that happened since the last update...

1. Move to Polygon
This by far was the biggest update last month as the entire project moved over to the Polygon Chain to fix the ridiculous Ethereum Gas fees problem the devs were facing. The move includes everything from Exported NFTs the the 2 main coins of the project PRPS & DUBI. So Everything has been forked over to Polygon and websites like Dubiex.com, the G4G Store now connect to that chain. The NFT Burn wall site still needs to be fixed.

They are also working closer with Polygon which should help the adoption in the crypto space as right now this is still almost fully not existing even thoug Clash Of Streamers is already one of the biggest crypto games out there in terms of the player base and the revenue they are generating.


2. Advertisement, Funding & Returns On Advertisement
They continue to advertise mainly on Facebook and they did also find a way to get extra funding for this to speed things up. Right now it's a matter of getting to a point where their ROAS (Returns on Advertisement) are optimized again to get things really going. They also knowingly produce very cringy advertisements since it looks to work as they stand out. They reached front page on reddit /r/shittymobilegameads (Link) and it's really funny. I do kind of agree that they are scam ads but I guess taking somewhat of a backlash of them doesn't weigh up against the downloads they generate resulting in actual players that stick to the game because it is quite addictive.


3. GUBI Replaced By PRPS
So they introduced Gubi a couple of months ago as a coin that could be cashed out for the in-game Currency Crypton as a temporary measure to avoid Ethereum Gas fees using the Binance Smart Chain. 1000 Crypton can be exchanged for 1$ of PRPS with a minimum of 500 Crypton and when it is sent to an address that has no MATIC, they will also send a bit of that to it so players instantly are able to transact without needing to go through the hassle to manually get MATIC for transaction fees.

They will also use earnings in the game to buy the PRPS they are giving to players that cash out Crypton. That PRPS will come from the buy-wall and buys will be done on the background. This means that levels will get cleared making the price of PRPS go up as the game gets more popular and players cash out Crypton.


4. Crypton Boost Nerf
As a result of changing DUBI to PRPS, they were forced to nerf some of the deals offered in the game since 25 Sale Points alows players to buy the most expensive deal in the game for free. Some of these deals included 8000 Crypton which made it just way too profitable for smart players. This is a general trend in Play2Earn gaming where everything starts out way too optimistic as they underestimate how far players are willing to go to exploit the system. Early players can get full advantage of these opportunities. The way I see it now, a lot more nerfs and changes will be needed going forward as it is still way too easy for free2play players that have the only intention to milk as much money out of the game using all the tricks in the book. There was a final Pre-Nerf Boost that gave 8000 Crypton and 1000 VIP EXP for 25 Sale Points to give everyone who had a ton of sale points saved for these kinds of deals in the future to still get it one last time.

Right now the most Crypton you can get from the most expensive deal is 5000 and most of the 0.49$ deals also saw a reduction from 80 Crypton to 50 Crypton while still containing 1 Sale Point. This nerf makes it so that exporting NFTs became quite a bit more expensive and Crypton in circulation more rare making it so that pet Skins have gone down in price a bit.


5. Clash Of Streamers vs Thetan Arena

The image above shows pretty much shows the difference between a profitable sustainable game (Clash Of Streamers) and something like Thetan Arena which despite being a fun game more goes by hype creating a Pump & Dump which is not sustainable because they are not profitable enough getting all their players and investors wrecked.


6. New Game Value Mechanics Brainstorming
The devs are improving things always with a main focus on one thing moving to the next one once it is optimized. On of the things that they are now brainstorming about is how to give players more incentives to get to the point where they can export Heroes or Pets on top of the burnwall that already is in place. The idea now is to take all 5% fees collected from trades in the Auction House or players that gift Crpton to others and ditribute those passively to players that own exported Heroes or Pets. Right now, it is still only possible to export MAX Level Heroes or Pets but this will be changed since the transaction fees on Polygon are so low.


PRPS & DUBI Update

PRPS & DUBI are totally unaffected by the swings in the crypto market which is great during the bad times but. They are stablecoins that are designed to always slowly but surely go up in value and that is exactly what they have been doing for years already now with no reason why it would change.

The value of PRPS & DUBI gained stability since they are now a lot more prominent in the game while the Buy & Sell walls are paired up with USDC on Ploygon instead of ETH on Ethereum. It is now also affordable for regular users to invest in the game by buying PRPS and locking it up to get 4% yearly in DUBI which instantly can be sold into the 10$ buy-wall that is put up on Dubiex.com. Both PRPS and DUBI also have a liquidity pool on Quickswap

These are the Token Contracts

PRPS (Polygon): 0x972999c58BbcE63a2e398d4ED3Bde414b8349eB3 DUBI (Polygon): 0x950e1561B7A7dEB1A32A6419FD435410daf851B0

a full overview of on-chain activity can be found on prps.moe

  • PRPS Level 270: 9.53$ (Dubiex) [Last Month 7.01$]
  • DUBI Price: 10$ (Dubiex) [Last Month 9.18$]

All in-game deals can be bought at a price of 1 PRPS / DUBI = 13$ which offers a great discount and much more profitable way to get into the game with an eye on long-term earnings.


Personal Clash Of Streamers Game Progress

I continue to make good progress even though I got most already out of buying a lot of colored and rare skins which boosted my account a lot. My main focus remains on saving up Crypton in order to export my first Pet and I'm close to that all while staying stacked on exclusive skins avoiding to use those to get more crypton. I did also increase my VIP Level from 5 to 6 and it likely will take quite a while to reach level 7. I also got 2 more Level 11 Heroes and now am up to 6 of them. My saved Crypton went from 36k to 169k despite using all my sale points on the pre-nerf boost and the Exclusive Skins.

I did just buy 2 TTTT vouchers last month at a time when Gubi traded at a big discount and also managed to make 112$ on a risk-free trade buying 400k gubi for 0.789$ selling it 23 days later for 1.0685$. These trading opportunities where you are able to play low liquidity in the trading pair which creates situations where there are premiums and discounts all the time versus the peg are unfortunately no longer available. I did manage to get around 160$ of profit out of those which I see as part of playing the game being profitable with it.



Conclusion

Things continue to go great with the game and I continue to have fun with it even after playing for 10+ months by now. One of the great things about it is that the game doesn't force an obligatory grind onto players and 10 minutes each day gets you most of the progress. The initial time with the game was fun learning how everything works and now it's something of a fun break each day without ever having the feeling I'm missing out or that I still need to grind the daily quest. I would say that we still very early with a lot of opportunities left and everyone that is interested in trying the game (Free2Play) should check out the Community Sign-Up Deal that I'm still offering. The game is fully Free2Play also and best played on Mobile (Scan the QR Code on your Phone). I'm looking to having my first pet exported next month!
