Alien Worlds NFT P2E Game

If you think you know everything there is about Alien Worlds, think again! The game’s engineers and designers just dropped a massive update.

Alien Worlds developers recently finished a substantial list of gameplay improvements, including the reduction of load on the WAX blockchain and other APIs and nodes.

Alien Worlds is an NFT-oriented metaverse on the Ethereum, WAX, and Binance Smart Chain blockchains. The game centers around exploration and mining.

It features land ownership for players to acquire, use of minions to fight battles, collection of tools and avatars, and earning crypto. Co-founders Sarojini McKenna and Michael Yeates developed the game.

Alien Worlds is consistently one of the top blockchain games on DappRadar ranking charts, with more than 7.6 million players ever and more than 9 million plays per day.

In this article, we will focus on unpacking the latest Alien Worlds updates as there is a lot to go through.

The Alien Worlds Vision

The Alien Worlds metaverse hinges on NFTs and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). 

With that in mind, the game’s vision is to allow players to travel across worlds and mine Trilium (TLM), which is the game’s utility token that is also a multi-chain token. 

Meanwhile, staking is a feature so you can participate in the in-game planetary governance in the metaverse. The more players who stake their TLM on the planets, the bigger the reward pool and the more everyone can earn.

In short, Alien Worlds is a mining adventure, sci-fi game with multiple DAOs, tons of NFTs and multiple passive earning opportunities.

Technological Enhancements

In late 2020, Alien Worlds surged in popularity in the play-to-earn blockchain gaming space, featuring team-oriented gameplay, land and utility NFTs, and mining on planet DAOs. No one could’ve ever imagined the rate at which it grew.

Blockchain development means building on novel technological areas. Testing and experimentation are necessary to achieve genuine innovation in crypto gaming. Alien Worlds engineers and developers understand this. 

With that, it involves several troubleshooting, breakthroughs, and lessons. Each engineer and designer enhance the game’s technical aspects to “breathe new life into the unexplored.”

Alien Worlds is making history and paving the way for others to follow.

An elevated experience

The Alien Worlds team recently completed a significant batch of updates and improvements to the game.

The overall results are an “elevated experience”. They are as follows:

  • synchronization across devices
  • improved dashboard features
  • better NFT management options
  • faster login, loading, and navigation

These updates lessened the load on the blockchain, highlighting the devotion of the team to continually craft the Alien Worlds metaverse into their vision, a vision of a higher gaming experience.

Improving the metaverse experience

According to the Alien Worlds team, every upgrade, enhancement, fix, and improvement intends to create a frictionless Alien Worlds user experience. Thus, they want to build atop a more efficient and fortified infrastructure.

A substantial reduction of the load on WAX is a result of the collective effort of the Alien Worlds team to make these improvements. To illustrate, a rough estimation of 40% of load was reduced on all data feeds, such as Missions API, WAX history nodes, MetaMask API, and Atomic Assets API.

Here is a summary of updates and improvements to Alien Worlds, focusing on three areas: Mining, Missions, and General Improvements.
