Project Hive is a project for crypto enthusiasts and gamers by crypto enthusiasts and gamers.
This project can be called an entire cybersports metaverse, which is built using blockchain technology and combines the “Play-to-Earn” concept with the best practices of the traditional gaming industry, including but not limited to an exciting single-player PVE story, competitive multiplayer PVP battles and clan wars, as well as character development opportunities, a unique crafting system and an in-game marketplace.
Project Hive began development at the very beginning of 2021, and as of mid-August 2022 has a beta version that is available to everyone. The game is scheduled for release in late 2022. The development team is represented by guys with backgrounds at Netflix, Nintendo, Microsoft, Intel, Marvel, Philips, etc.
The ability to earn by playing the game is realized through the use of the Solana blockchain. Thus, there are two tokens in the game.
HGT (Hive Governance Token) is a governance token, i.e. the main game token. It can be used, for example, to buy NFT, participate in DAO, etc. It’s also built into many game mechanics and can be earned in-game, but it will be quite difficult to do so. Also this token can be earned by Ambassadors of the project (about that in a separate article). At the time of publishing this article there was no TGE, so HGT token has not been minted yet. According to the developers’ plans, this should happen in early autumn. Its maximum supply will be 18 billion tokens.
The second game token is an in-game token called IGT (Immersion Generation Token), which is not limited in issue. And it will be easy enough to earn it in the game. It can be used for the development of in-game characters or sold on the exchange. Also this token can be earned by the owners of the first NFTs (more about that below). As of the date of publication of this article, the IGT token has also not been minted yet.
The models, environments, and animations in Project Hive are created from scratch. You enter the world of robots to fight for the title of the best and earn rewards! Items in Project Hive are NFT assets that are fully owned by the players, which means they can be collected or traded on the marketplace.
Project Hive’s first NFTs are Avatars:
These NFTs are multifunctional. Let’s see what exactly the usefulness of Avatars is:
- they allow you to improve the characteristics of your in-game character;
- they give you access to unlimited use of the game and extended in-game content, replacing the Battle Pass;
- allow you to earn in-game IGT token just for holding avatars in your wallets;
- give you priority access to whitelists to buy HGT token as well as starter game packs;
- give a bonus to the Ambassador’s income (about this in a separate article), etc.
Let's talk briefly about Project Hive Gameplay.
Project Hive is a turn-based RPG, featuring PVP and PVE battles. Players will craft NFT equipment and in-game abilities, which are called Protocols.
Winning will reward players with IGT, HGT or SOL.
To start the game, the player must obtain a CyberConstruct. The CyberConstruct must be available by default to anyone who has a game avatar or has purchased a Battle Pass.
After that the CyberConstruct can be equipped with NFT-based equipment (armor & weapons), as well as Protocols, so in this way every player will be able to create a unique character build. Each piece of armor and weapon is a one-of-a-kind item, with a unique set of attributes, basic stats and attributes, based on their combinations. Players will acquire Protocols by playing through the PVE campaign.
An important aspect is that the CyberConstructs have a limited number of available energy charges which restores on a daily basis. For PvE battles, the energy charge is used by default when entering the arena and can’t be turned off. In PVP fights player has to specifically use the energy charge prior the opponents search to be able to claim the reward and rating. Otherwise, the PVP fight is considered as a training fight and won’t provide both opponents with any benefits except player’s personal skill and experience growth.
Project Hive will have a rating system consisting of 8 leagues:
-Iron League (35–31 ranks);
-Bronze League (30–26 ranks);
-Silver League (25–21 ranks);
-Gold League (20–16 ranks);
-Platinum League (15–11 ranks);
-Diamond League (10–6 Ranks);
-Hive Master League (5–1 Ranks);
-Legendary League.
Ranks will be earned on a seasonal basis. The higher your rank – the better rewards you receive at the end of the season. Then a new season starts and the players start all over again.
In addition, Project Hive will have a clan system. Players can create or join a clan to participate in Territory Wars, PVE boss fights and receive in-game bonuses for clan membership. A clan can has a limited number of members, growing with each Rank (clan members in game activity ranks up their clan). All members receive certain advantages depending on clan’s rank.
This was a brief overview, from which we can conclude that Project Hive will offer players a very diversified gameplay, in which every fan of good games can find something to his liking, and most importantly, can earn by playing the game!
