Alien World is pretty old game and it kind of brings a lot of memories when it was new back in time. And now the game has matured a lot. With the changes in the NFT items and the various models for the revenue rewards system. The game has changed a lot in terms of the graphics, NFT and the upcoming roadmap changes are in the process too.
Recently they decided to go in the direction of the land ownership economy.
Almost every planet in the Alien World is going to have a land. And there is going to be a finite land. You would be struggling to get the pixel purchased if you have limited budget to buy those land NFTs. But overall the direction is letting people control the space. And who knows they may allow some in game activity to be performed which could generate more revenue for land owners.
Each land purchase could get the trillium(in game token) allocation and it is position to earn revenue for being used. But as of now we are yet to find out how there would be a strong use case for the land and the pixels that we have there. I think more slots get purchased and more people experiment with the lands in the game that would give us some idea.
They also maintain one NFT Google Sheet where you can get idea on the technical details here.
You can also get an idea of the blueprint before investing your hard earned money into the alien worlds economy.
Now coming back to the reality of these type of the land updates. I hope it's not cash grab. Most of the game dev studios and the updates are in that direction. Since pandemic a lot of gamers are not rich. Neither are the content creators, writers in the game niche. Most of the game with NFTs are turning out to be cash grab with the land economy and that is a worrying trend.
