Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for: BattleMechs has officially launched on the Android Play Store! After weeks of anticipation, we are thrilled to bring this groundbreaking game to our community. A couple of weeks ago, we reached out to the BLOX community to gather input on the launch strategy. We asked whether the community would prefer waiting until all core features were fully developed or if we should proceed with a pre-release to kickstart $GEMZ mining. The community eagerly voted for the pre-release, and we were more than happy to deliver!
Launching this first version of BattleMechs, even with mining as the primary feature, is a major achievement for the BLOX project. As we’ve discussed in-depth within our Telegram group, early-stage projects face unique challenges when it comes to attracting partners and securing investment. Without a fully operational product, it’s difficult to demonstrate the true potential of the platform to external stakeholders. Now, with BattleMechs live, we have access to real data and metrics, which enables us to present solid statistics and performance insights. These numbers will open up exciting opportunities for partnerships and will give us credibility when approaching centralized exchanges for future listings.
This initial launch also lets us gather valuable feedback from the first wave of players, which will guide our development priorities in the coming months. Knowing where to focus our efforts, especially on gameplay elements and user experience, will help us build a stronger game that resonates with our player base. Regular updates will soon be rolled out, not only to refine the $GEMZ tokenomics but also to enhance gameplay balance and create an engaging, immersive experience for all users.
We’re actively working on additional features that will expand BattleMechs from its current state to a full-fledged, interactive game. Over the next few weeks, players can look forward to a range of enhancements that include everything from in-game rewards to clan support. Below is a sneak peek at some of the updates coming soon:
Add cosmetic, consumable and rune rewards
Players will be able to earn additional rewards from mining such as cosmetics, consumables and runes. These will be re-sellable on the in-game marketplace for GEMZ.
Implement NFT marketplace
The BattleMechs app will contain a built-in NFT marketplace on which players can sell their in-game items for GEMZ.
Introduce player-vs-player battles
Players will be able to battle other mechs and earn additional rewards.
Introduce player clans
Via the clans feature players can compete against other teams in massive tournaments.
Enable GEMZ withdraws
GEMZ will be withdrawable from the game directly to your Zilliqa wallet.
Excited? We definitely are! The feedback and enthusiasm from our community have been invaluable in getting us to this point, and there’s so much more to come. Be sure to follow our Twitter page for regular updates, upcoming release dates, and sneak peeks at new features as they roll out! BattleMechs is just the beginning of what BLOX has planned for blockchain gaming.
