Spielworks, a leading blockchain startup specializing in gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions, has launched Season One of its Wombat Dungeon Master NFT game.
The release brings new functionality to the multichain game, including an equipment management system and character progression mechanics.
Season One follows the public beta test, which began on December 15 with over 4,251 unique players logging in to play the game.
The launch started off with a Genesis item pack sale, which was met by an overwhelming response from the community, as all the packs sold out almost instantly.
Blockchain gaming has become a major driving force in the recent growth of the digital assets ecosystem.
According to an annual industry report by the Blockchain Game Alliance, blockchain games account for around half of the entire activity on the blockchain.
As the gaming industry continues to grow, experts expect the play-to-earn model promoted by blockchain games to become the new standard for the mainstream gaming market.
Spielworks’s Wombat Dungeon Master game allows players to explore dungeons, winning NFT loot on the way.
Season One adds varying duration for dungeon runs, which always stood at 24 hours in the beta version.
It also adds more RPG elements into the gameplay.
Players can now equip their Wombats with various NFT items, such as lamps, hats, and digging tools, before sending them on an NFT treasure hunt into the dungeon.
These items will give your wombat additional experience points, allowing them to level up.
The items have a direct impact on the effectiveness of the dungeon run by increasing your wombat's stats:
- Items can increase your wombat's mining power which results in more NFT rewards
- Increase the amount of experience gained during a dungeon run
- Reduce the time your wombat has to spend in the dungeon.
Items vary in level and rarity, and players can combine multiple items of the same type into a single and more powerful version.
Wombat Dungeon Master's Genesis Item Collection Sold out in a Second
To celebrate the launch of Season One for Wombat Dungeon Master, Spielworks held a Genesis item pack sale.
50 Diamond packs and 500 Basic packs were offered, with each pack containing multiple items with varying rarity.
The packs sold literally a second after the sale went live, pushing the Genesis item collection into the Top 5 rankings on the WAX platform shortly after the event.
Wombat Dungeon Master & Play-to-Earn NFT Gaming
Available on EOS and WAX blockchains, Wombat Dungeon Master brings idle NFT gaming to the play-to-earn (P2E) space.
Players will also earn NFT's and tokens minted by multiple projects partnered with Spielworks.
It features an idle style, RPG gaming mechanic seen in regular gaming.
Players who are familiar with flash games in particular (from the days of Newgrounds, Armor Games and Kongregate) will feel right at home when trawling through the dungeons with their customizable wombat.
Being able to earn NFTs and tokens also makes the game more enticing for gamers, allowing you to make an income whilst playing.
With its simple gameplay mechanics, Wombat Dungeon Master gives users a taste of NFT staking and can serve as a gateway into the larger world of NFT gaming.
Spielworks and their partners plan to build out a robust NFT gaming ecosystem with Play-to-Earn systems and familiar gameplay mechanics.
Adrian Krion, the CEO of Spielworks shared his comments on NFT gaming:
“NFT games are a rapidly expanding market, and visibility is crucial for sustaining their meteoric rise,”
The CEO continued to say:
“Wombat Dungeon Master brings just that to the table, while also granting more utility to NFTs players already hold with its staking support.
We are thrilled to see how many players joined the public beta and look forward to bringing gamers more gameplay elements and features in future updates.”
Final Thoughts
Wombat Dungeon Master brings a novel approach to the Play-to-Earn space, bringing an idle, RPG gaming experience where players can earn NFTs and tokens for exploring dungeons.
