Hey Pig Herders,
We wanted to share some updates regarding the development of Piggericks.
We are working hard on adding features and fixing little kinks and bugs. And we released a new version on Friday that has the following improvements:
You can only add ETH addresses via Signature now
We used to allow any ETH address to be used, however this had the negative effect that some users were using addresses they did not control and then sent pigs to them. In order to avoid this we are now only allowing wallets to sign addresses so we know for sure users are in control of the keys to the address they use in the game.
In order to change the address associated with your account, there is now a disconnect button, vs just changing the text of the address. Likewise when you have not connected an ETH address, there is now a connect button, which will then let you sign a message to prove you control the address you are using.
We hope this makes everything easier and avoids users sending pigs to exchange wallets and such.
Strategically Select your Pigs
When you lose pigs in battles, you have more control over which ones are at risk now. It works exactly like it does with experience: The more you use a pig in your battle the more likely they can run away or die. If you do not use them at all there is no chance for you to lose them.
This gives you more control over which Pigs may go to your opponent and protect Pigs you do not want to lose.
New Game Type
We will shortly introduce a new game Type: Experience ladder. These games work exactly like the battles you are used to, except you cannot lose your pigs at the end of it. And conversely you can also not win any pigs.
There still however will be risk, as you gain experience with wins, and lose experience with losses. Both will be higher than in Battle for pigs mode.
We are eager to learn which game mode players will prefere.
We will update you as we improve the game further. Thanks for everyone who reported bugs and also thank you for being patient.
Stay tuned
We have much more in store:

Rehived. Not sure if I am fan of splitting the players at that time point.
