Are you ready for Battle, Adventurer?

Dear Crabadians!

Today is the momentous day that marks a new era in the age of the Kingdom of Crabada, where history will be made!

The Battle Game launches today, 15 May, at 11:00 PM UTC! 

The launch of the cross-platform Battle Game will serve as a gateway for many new participants to experience Web3-enabled gaming!

With Crabada and Swimmer Network (Subnet) spearheading the charge into the future of Web3 gaming, doors for brand new opportunities will be opened for many to take their first step into the Web3 space as we introduce a new dimension of fun and accessibility to the broader audience!

Crabada aims to set the pace for Web3 games with the launch of its much-anticipated cross-platform Battle Game!

The Battle Game will be available on the following platforms

• Android
• Windows
• MacOS
• iOS (pending App Store review at the time of publishing this article)

New game modes and features!

• Battle Mining/Battle Looting
• Adventure Mode
• Discipleships

The Battle Game vs Idle-Game Experience

The Crabada cross-platform Crabada Battle Game

Immersion and Experience

The Crabada Idle-Game was an open beta release, and was always meant to be a prelude to the Battle Game. However, it garnered way more attention than we had initially anticipated. For that, we are extremely thankful for the overwhelming support received from our partners and the community! Thank you all! We’re just getting started!

The launch of the Battle Game will signify a shift in our focus toward providing our players with a fun, accessible and frictionless gaming experience in Crustaco Bay!

The Battle Game flaunts an improved user experience that caters to both new and existing players, including the availability of the game on widely-used smart devices such as Android devices, iPhones and iPads.

The ease-of-onboarding for Disciples will encourage new participants to easily immerse themselves in the world of Crabada, and expose themselves to the exciting new world of Web3 gaming, by simply installing the game on their preferred smart device.

Our goal to build a fun and immersive game also means we will start to pivot ourselves from the Play-to-Earn narrative into Play-and-Earn, where the gaming experience matters as much, if not more than the incentives it offers.

In return, players will be better incentivized for their mastery and knowledge of the Battle Game.

The Battle Game is a Auto-Battler

Our vision for Crabada has always been for it to be an idle game, which means that you’ll be able to play it anytime, anywhere with minimal disruption to your everyday life.

The Crabada Battle Game aims to co-exist with even the busiest of schedules, and be interwoven into a player’s everyday life.

In the Idle-Game:

• Mining Expeditions: 6 times a day, estimated 20 hours (Most players would realistically only be able to manage 5 Mining Expeditions each day)
• Using Reinforcements: Required to be on standby throughout the day

In the Battle Game:

• Battle Mining Expeditions: ~6 hours to complete 6 Mines
• No need for reinforcements

In addition, players can choose to go on Adventure Mode to gather Crystal Shells and level up their Crabada, or unlock new Special Mining Zones to collect potentially rarer Materials! Sounds like a whole lot of fun!

Become a Mentor with Discipleships

With the Battle Game launch comes Discipleships! Discipleships will be built natively to support the Battle Game using a Sub-Account System.

Note: Disciple Accounts can only be used to play the Battle Game.

We believe in building up a strong community on the foundation of education and mentorship. The aim of the Discipleships program is to introduce new players to the exciting Kingdom of Crabada, and encourage them to be a long-term part of the thriving Crabada ecosystem.

This is how easy it would be for a Disciple (new player) to start and immerse themselves in Crabada once they find a mentor:

Sub-Account Management

Main accounts (Mentors) have the ability to create Disciple Account, and retain full control over the assets in these accounts.

Creating a Disciple Account

• Disciple Accounts (Sub-Accounts) can be managed from the Marketplace
• It costs 1950 $CRAM to create a new Disciple Account
• Each Disciple Account will come with a default of 9 Crabada slots
• The number of Crabada Slots in a Disciple Account can be increased by spending $CRAM (250 $CRAM for 3 additional Crabada Slots)
• Crabada need to be transferred to Disciple Accounts for Disciples to use in the Battle Game

Exciting Roadmap

In efforts to transition towards the more gameplay-focused direction of a Play-and-Earn game, we will be constantly building and adding exciting gameplay experiences for players to immerse themselves in.

Here are some of the areas that we will be focusing on:

Economy v2 

Materials earned in v1 of the economy can only be used to craft Food and $TUS.

MMoving forward, we will start with improving the infrastructure to bring materials on-chain, enabling p2p trading of Materials on the marketplace, and new crafting-related features such as:

• Crafting spells and equipment
• Using Materials as part of Breeding

Furthermore, more game modes and content will be built around 

• Land
• PvP Game Formats
• Play-Together (Cooperative Gameplay)

The Triple $CRA event

To celebrate the launch of the Battle Game, we will be holding a special Triple $CRA Rewards Event, which will last for a period of 14 days, starting from 18 May, 7:00 AM UTC to 1 June, 7:00 AM UTC.

The $CRA rewards are as follows:

• Idle-Game: x3 $CRA
• Battle Game: x5 $CRA

Revised Incentive Structures

$CRA rewards in the Idle-Game were meant to be a temporary incentive to reward players who played our beta product. This bonus period has been lengthened multiple times past its original expiry.

With the launch of the Battle Game, the time is ripe for the Idle-Game’s bonus $CRA rewards to finally be retired, as we transition to a more sophisticated economic system in the Crabada ecosystem!

The bonus $CRA reward period adjustment will take effect following the Triple $CRA Rewards event, which ends on 1 June, 7:00 AM UTC:

• ALL $CRA rewards for Idle-Game will be stopped
• ALL $CRA rewards for Battle Game return to 1x (do note that $CRA rewards in the Battle Game are non-permanent bonus rewards)

Additionally, there will be a readjustment to the Idle-Game incentive structure as such:

• 4 weeks after the Battle Game launch, on 13 June, ALL $TUS rewards from starting a Mining Expedition in the Idle-Game will be reduced by 15%
• The balance between Idle Game and Battle Game will be closely monitored over the coming months and Idle-Game rewards may be further readjusted in the future as more data is collected post-Battle Game launch

The Idle-Game, however, will continue to be supported for players who desire a more decentralized game experience.
