Being aware the state of the Sandbox, the platform could be at an all-times low right now and it would be surprising if it didn’t reflect here on the Pickaxe Master. too We’re not going to sugar coat it, although the current state, we have to say the game has been a success from our point of view.
- Game is solid and running for hours.
- Occasional disconnects and bugs from TSB side, not from the experience.
- Game has been un-cheatable so far.
- Game economy been stable.
- New features and mechanics have got good feedback.
The Pickaxe Master is now a leading brand/game in The Sandbox, this one is for the OG’s that have been in the server for almost 2 years to remember where it all came from and where we are today. The Misty Mountain still stands as a reference and state of the art when it comes to Sandbox advanced logic, map and character design, game economy and game optimization. All the hard work has not past un-recognized, culminating into getting a Sandie’s Award for “Best Team/Studio” of 2023.
This is what we have to focus, on the progression, development and excellence we keep bringing to the ecosystem. Our metrics are your satisfaction, how you are enjoying the game and how you feel welcomed and integrated in this community.
So, although right now the number of players is globally significantly smaller than it used to be, compared to Alpha Season 1 and 2, we are sure that there is going to be a new gigantic wave of players towards the end of this year and throughout 2025. — Our goal is to keep pushing forward, the same way we have did until now. — When this wave arrives, they will find us here, that will have all this story to share.
