Weekly Recap 01/02
Hello Miners and Sandfam! How are all you doing? Has 2023 been treating you right? We sure hope so, at least we’re doing our part to contribute.
The year has just started and in only 1 month, over 75 SAND has been distributed during the Lucky Miner streams. If we keep this track, we should reach by the end of the year near 1000 SAND distributed on live streams. Not bad at all!
Since we’re speaking about SAND and live streams, today’s Lucky Miners already have their prizes sent out to their wallets! A big shoutout to @Badhornet, not only because he is one of the very few owners of a Diamond Pickaxe, but also because he won 18.8 SAND on today’s show! This ranks him directly into #1 Place in both General and Master Mining leaderboards!
Continuing the topic of SAND prizes, this Friday (03/02/2023) there will be a Geology Fun Fact Quiz!! Which makes the first Learn to Earn type of event we host. This event will happen on Discord and it will be live streamed during the normal show (3pm UTC). Everyone is invited for this event, you don’t need to own any NFT to participate. All you need is to be there and know those Fun Facts on the tip of your fingers, the fastest answers will get extra points!
For the most knowledgeable Miners, there are a few prizes for the top places:
1st — Gold Pickaxe NFT
2nd — 25 SAND
3rd — 10 SAND

Apart from leader boards and SAND prizes, we also have the usual game dev updates. Let’s see what we have for this week:
🏔️Map optimization complete.
🏔️Trading logic fixed.
🏔️New Trade Quest added.
🏔️Misty Mountain experience completed.
🏔️New website development.
🏔️Logic and asset experimenting in expansion.
Sooooooooooo… It seems like it’s finished! Can’t believe we are actually saying this after all this months! Maybe we should have had an announcement only dedicated to this announcement, you might think. But since the game will now undergo to a lot of Sandbox tests and reviews, we want to hold up that one for later.
Map optimization is concluded, there are still a few things that could go out of the map, but from the results we got on test maps, the optimization threshold is almost at it’s limit. As for the trade logic fix, players can no longer trade 2 resources at the same time, there is a new Quest with the purpose of guiding a new player to correctly use the scale, giving proper instructions and warnings.
The new website is under works as well and it’s looking sharp, all we can say right now, is that it’s going to be huge milestone. You will witness a new era being born here at the Pickaxe Master.
There is more happening on the back than what can be shown and we are sorry for that, on the right timing, things will start to roll out — 2023 is going to be an amazing year, full of releases and new features in the ecosystem.
But one week at each time, let’s get into that mining cart and enjoy the ride! LFM!
