Echoes of Empire — A Proposal

Echoes of Empire — A Proposal

by | Aug 12, 2021 | Gala Games

As part of our master plan to empower players by building the largest decentralized network of games in the world, Gala Games is happy to announce the next game for your consideration to join our ecosystem: Echoes of Empire!

This game is breathtakingly beautiful, cosmic scale strategy adventure at its absolute finest. EOE’s amazing art and style alone would have had our attention. Other factors such as depth of story, exquisite design, a unique world and limitless possibilities made Echoes of Empire absolutely perfect for the Gala Games ecosystem. This is why we submit for the approval of our node operators the following proposal.

Project Name: Echoes of Empire

Game Developer: ION Games

Genre: Strategy/4X

Node Drop Mechanism: Up to 8.5% of all NFTs/Tokens Dropped to Node Operators based on the number of nodes online (More Nodes = Heavier Drops)

Final Release Date: Estimated Q2 2022

In a distant future within a galaxy not unlike our own, humankind has expanded well beyond their terrestrial origins and set up a sprawling empire that touches the darkest corners of the galaxy. This great empire has prospered for over a millennia, ruled by the oldest, continuous hereditary monarchy in known history.

In a moment, this celestial renaissance was suddenly torn asunder. The Emperor has died under suspicious circumstances. His vast colonies and outposts, ruled by generations of cosmic high-born, are engulfed in a galactic civil war, and you, a member of a small aristocratic family at the edge of known space, are thrust into the burgeoning conflict.

Pledge your allegiance to one of the warring factions. Explore, trade, build an armada, consolidate your power and look to leave your mark among the stars as the next galactic emperor.

Learn more about the world of Echoes of Empire in THIS POST, written by ION Games, the developers of the game.

4X Strategy

4x is the abbreviated name for a subgenre of strategy games in which players win by Exploring, Expanding, Exploiting, and Exterminating. Because of its vastness and limitless possibilities, space is a perfect example of a 4x game setting. It is full of endless danger, incalculable unknowns and limitless conflicts. 4X games encompass complex interaction between players, whether it’s waging war between guilds, player trade, raiding bases or capturing mines. This complex and intricate world is a perfect platform to create an enticing NFT strategy and offer players a wide spectrum play-to-earn gaming within the EOE world.

Multiple Layers of Ownership

In Echoes of Empires, players will mine resources on their own planets. You’ll also be able to issue mining permits to other players, renting out the right to mine your land for passive income. Upgrade and expand your base to create epic spaceships of your very own.

The complexity of 4x strategy allows additional reward structures to exist around social elements, like Guild Token and Royal Peerage. Guild Token will enable you to form a Guild. The larger your Guild, the greater your chance of becoming the most powerful house in the galaxy.

Land Claim — Venture into the foreboding galactic frontier of Maffei and claim your place among the stars. You can harness exotic resources, expand your intergalactic empire, or construct the greatest Armadas. Only the most powerful will ensure that their legacy endures!

Guild Token — A Guild’s authority comes from three mighty houses within the Maffei Galaxy. Will you form a Military Guild and empower your legions and armadas, or a Guild of Commerce that will give you access to new markets and enhanced trade presence? Perhaps you will give rise to a Noble Guild, expanding your sphere of influence, and receiving even greater treasures as tribute. With the power of your Guild behind you, you will be ready to face the galaxy!

Royal Peerage — Declare your Sovereignty! As is your privilege, guide your grand dynasty as it expands throughout the Maffei Galaxy. Claim lordship over your sector of space as a member of the Royal Peerage, accumulating favor and generating more influence and power for the future of your people!

Gala Games Goes Galactic!

We are extremely excited to bring you such a massive and player-empowering game as Echoes of Empire. We believe it will be a 4x strategist’s dream, as well as an incredible and compelling experience for first-timers.

All you node operators, make sure to cast your vote in the next 3 days, and stay tuned for more updates from Echoes of Empire and the team at ION Games.

Mr. Puddles is Making a Splash

Mr. Puddles is Making a Splash

by | Aug 12, 2021 | Gala Games

The newest Town Star NFT helper drops Thursday, August 12th!

TL;DR

  • Mr. Puddles drops tomorrow 8/12 @ 5pm PST in the Town Star Store
  • Early Access (1st 24 hours): 50% OFF!

Have you played Town Star lately? The weekly competition game of town and city builders is the flagship game from Gala Games, but it’s also a brilliantly designed challenge of strategy and competition from some of the same people who brought the world Farmville 2.

The beauty of being a blockchain gaming platform is in the freedom we can provide to gamers everywhere. The game is free to play, but players are also free to give themselves advantages by partaking in the various NFT items of the ecosystem. In Town Star alone, you can buy stands to continuously produce wheat and sugar, or you can buy a Water Tower or Fountain to provide passive water to your crops. You can earn an in-game boost to your whole town’s speed by deploying Mirandus-Themed Town Star skins. By owning helper bots such as ElfBot and SaltyBot, you can even raise the bar for labor in your town.

The newest bot to join the cast of Town Star characters is Mr. Puddles, the Waterbot. He operates similarly to the ElfBot and the SaltyBot, taking a particular interest in one resource: Water. Mr. Puddles emerges from his home as soon as there’s water to be delivered and a place to deliver it. He’ll take water to your fields, building sites, livestock ranches and industrial buildings, and he’ll do it much faster than the farmers, builders and workers on your land.

Mr. Puddles carries water faster than his uncle, Buggy Mr. Puddles.

The Sale

Thousands of Buggy Mr. Puddles NFTs were recently distributed to players who experienced tech problems during the first week of the May Mayhem tournament earlier this year. Now it’s time for a new NFT sale event for the squeaky clean, shiny and new Mr. Puddles.

Thursday, August 12th at 5pm PST.

Total Supply: 15,000
Distributed to node operators: 5%

Early Access — 50% off!

The first 24 hours of the sale will be considered early access, with all Mr. Puddles NFTs available for half price. After the 24 hour early access window, the price will increase to full retail for the remaining Mr. Puddles supply.

Early access is 5pm PST August 12 to 5 pm August 13.

The lower-than expected price of Mr. Puddles may come as a pleasant surprise to many of our players who may have missed NFT opportunities in the past. After receiving and responding to customer feedback, the team felt that it was time for a more affordable Town Star NFT. Mr. Puddles provides that without sacrificing incredible usefulness and an easy in-game advantage to those who use him. He is a helpful fellow.

Remember of course that Mr. Puddles (like all our NFTs) is a player-owned asset that can be traded between players or listed on Opensea. You can get your very own Mr. Puddles for half price starting tomorrow at 5pm EST. You can even pick up more than one, ensuring that you’ll have a dedicated robot water workforce in all your future Town Star towns. Talk about a game changer! Here’s a sneak peak at the Mr. Puddles Mirandus-themed character skin, which will be included in next week’s release of Pack 10!

Be on the lookout for a hot new Town Star surprise item drop coming very soon. This one will give new meaning to the phrase “player empowerment.”
