What if you want more gameplay packs, but won't have the time to use them all?
What if you are more a player-investor?
I am happy you asked! ;)
We want to make them interesting for all categories of time and players at EXODE.
Renting: Contract Packs!
We are studying this option:
placing some of your packs for rent.
- it will use our advantaging "activate" toggle, where you activate the toggle in your collection and then it's made "available". No need to decide on a price.
- there will be a section in our new colonization to rent these "gameplay packs".
- it comes after we deploy the ones for Aramea, and as a test for these packs.
- we are unsure about the automatic pricing and duration, we consider to propose two durations, one of 2 weeks for small usd and another of 6 weeks for bigger usd.
- this offer is made as an advantage for WEB2 players only. This means it will use our web2 sale process where we act as middleman.
- if we act as middleman this means they pay USD on one side and you get crypto on the other.
- listing a contract pack for sale is still possible in this concept and continues the rent without interruption: new owner will take benefit of the next rent.
If we target this method this is to also make sure that renting becomes an additional revenue route ; but does not yet compete with purchasing.
So it is made as a feature for people who do not have access to purchasing it, and you can still list it for full sale in WEB3 separately if you want. What you can't do, is list it for rent and then use it for yourself at the same time when it's rent.
We put that feature in our plans after:
(1) our two gameplay launches and (2) our beta booster opening.
"Aramea bundles" (renting bundles of cards) is also an idea we want to explore first.
This is because agents provided by these bundles could be very interesting to use the value of a gameplay pack you would rent.
Taking both sounds very complicated for a player, so our solution may need some ways to access assets to play these packs differently or more easily for rent.
But at least you know our plans now!
In addition to good sale value, and good rewards, we will experiment with contract pack renting starting with these, because some investors would not have time to play them, also they don't attack a specific supply of cards at first (unlike Faction Contracts for instance).
Don't forget to take these packs
Ice Worlds and Fire Worlds (and the currency pack in shop) will know a price increase.
Their price increase is pushed to Friday to give you a little more time to learn about this "contract renting" feature and allow investors to take notice.
For now you can still take them at 89 USD (instead of 99).
They will come at +10 usd on Friday!
Very quick breakdown of the latest news
There were many news so here is a summary.
If you kept up with all our news, there is nothing new to read below, but for others we'll do our best to give a breakdown.
Distribution (results of this Summer)
Some distribution efforts were done after the release of our explanatory video. First hundreds of visits and activity determined a path for EXODE: where it must exist also as F2P.
Colonization
A new model of colonization gameplay is being made around a worker approach.
Simple to play, compatible with F2P, WEB2 and WEB3, and all possible expectations from visitors.
We have deployed new packs to fund it:
the Ice Worlds and Fire Worlds procedural missions.
These are contract packs but with gameplay:
using gameplay released in October, our Colonization Challenges.
Colonization Challenges
Colonization Challenges is a mode in testing since October.
ETA for next update this month (around mid-november).
ETA for full launch with rewards on December 1st (or possibly Dec 8th in case of issues).
Ice Worlds and Fire Worlds:
also launch the same day with their full rewards.
That's all for our summary!
