Respect

5 min readFeb 16, 2024

Hello everyone,

First of all, we wanted to talk about the Telegram channel incident that occurred this week. One of our most beloved Mods, Dice, has quit the job due to a confrontation with an angry player. We beg you for respect and cordiality in our social networks.

We have a great community and we all make an effort to avoid these rude situations. We understand that as a player you have frustrations too, but please try to communicate them in good manners. Our Mods team are people, not AI, that put a lot of time and love into something that doesn’t compensate themselves with money.

Please, realize also that this negativity in our social networks is not good for the project. All the constructive feedback is more than welcome and helpful but being rude won’t fix anything. The result is that the project has lost a very valuable member of our community.

All the team of developers and mods wants to say a big thank you to DICE for his great work and support all this time. Dice was a wonderful colleague. Let’s learn from this and construct a positive and strong community to support the project.

Crypto payments status and Starter Packs

NowPayments integration is complete and we are now testing it. Payments with crypto will be re-open shortly, probably next Monday. For some restrictions on the NowPayments system we have to increase the price of the current Starter Pack to $5,95. The UM content will be increased accordingly.

Talking about Starter Packs for First Settler we are planning to add new types of Starter Packs so new players have a better chance to join the game faster. We are planning to offer a basic Land pack and a pack of starter recipes. Please feel free to share your opinion and ideas for new starter packs.

UMaster

Thanks for the feedback from referrals, specifically about the system of changing the UMaster. We are open to change if you don’t like the current method. Referrals are very important to grow the game and it is vital to protect referrals/UMasters.

We are thinking in a new system where players that contribute more have also certain benefits on the UMaster possession. However we still need to analyze further how to limitate it and make it possible. Please, feel free to share your ideas and proposals in our social networks.

NFT Burn and First Settlers update

Little progress this week. Definitely this is going to take longer than expected, we are learning that developing online games is much harder than standard games. NFT Burn should be finally ready by mid next week, we’re now dealing with UI polishing.

Apart from sharing some beautiful images, today we will explain how the loop of entering lands will be and how much it will cost for people who has not a land or who want to enter into another player land.

Entering Lands

Anyone can enter into a land by clicking on it and confirming the entrance cost:

Owner of the land: Free

Not owner: X UM depending on the land quality:

1 star: 50 UM
2 stars: 100 UM
3 stars: 150 UM
4 stars: 200 UM
5 stars: 250 UM

Entrance duration: The entrance lasts for 24h. If you exit the land for any reason, you can enter again for free during 24 hours.

Land’s Menu: When clicking on any land biome on the map, the land info and PLAY LAND button is shown in the mobilum, on top of the building information.

There you can see all the land info: photo of the land, land stars, list of biomes with rarity and richness, highlight of the current biome selected, land name (when land naming will be ready), total buildings in the land, total decorations in the land, cost of playing the land, Indicator of resources availability,..

Exit land: the land mode ends when the player selects another land or goes back to map in the menu. If the player closes the game, the next time he will start from the map, as if she would exit the land.

Persistence: at the moment the persistence of resources in the land is local to each player. However, the ecology and position of buildings are common data for all players.

Resources restoration: the available resources of the land are restored automatically with time. It takes 3 days (72h) to regrow 100% of resources. An indicator of the percentage of resources available is shown before entering the land. You can play a land with any amount of resources, but the cost to enter is the same.

New office

Still not in the new office, hopefully next week. We can share with you a photo of the new place where we are going: Parc Bit. It’s a natural environment out of the city, where only for technological companies. Great place to make games. It’s calm and there are plenty of free cute cats around!
