After half a year of development… the CryptoPets team is proud to announce the Beta will be coming mid-June.

Expect a teaser trailer coming out later this week! Stay tuned.

If you’re just hearing about the CryptoPets project now, you’ve found us at the perfect time — there’s still a chance to get early member perks! Details on the Early Community Member, Beta Participation, and Beta Feedback Rewards are coming out in the next few days.

The trailer packs a punch (ba-dum-chssh.)

GAME SYNOPSIS

You’ve heard of everything from kitties to alpacas to shrimp on the blockchain. So what are CryptoPets?

CryptoPets introduces a polished gaming experience and has created its economics around player participation. Most importantly, we’ve put in months of development and were able to take our community’s feedback into consideration. What we have learned over the course of that development has been critical to preparing us for the next few months as we ready ourselves to launch the game.

We’re proud to unveil some of the first footage of the CryptoPets mockups. Here’s a first look at our ANIMATED marketplace from the CryptoPets Alpha featured down below:

As you can tell, there are many more pets than the five we’ve formally unveiled. We can’t wait for our community to meet all the creatures that’ll make you dig up your trashed crypto-filled hard drives and give us your shitcoins. Be sure to be on the lookout for official pet releases coming soon!

WEBSITE UPDATES

Our website is being updated to reflect the latest changes to the game. You can currently see a placeholder for our new landing page. From here you’ll be able to enter the Beta, read the game development update logs, and contact us. Tired of using the Spankchain platform, come have some good wholesome family fun with your CryptoPets ;)

“Own What You Play” is the ethos that drives CryptoPets. With the power of the blockchain, gamers can now totally control the unique assets that give life to their favorite games. CryptoPets is leading the way with player choice.

Users are rewarded for investing their time and effort into the skillful mastery of their pets, allowing them to become more formidable competitors!

CryptoPets allows players to build a squad of up to three pets, opening up new paths for dominance, and giving players a multitude of options for battle strategy.

FIRST CONTEST: PRE-BETA STICKER CONTEST

If you’ve been tuning into our community channels, you should know our Sticker Contest is a great chance to get a head start on being a Crypto Master. The #CPStickerContest has been going strong thanks to some kickass artwork from our community members. We had DOZENS of entries, so selecting the final contestants for the bracket was pretty difficult. The contest has been a success so far, and the competitors are inching closer and closer towards the final round! Be sure to join our Telegram and Discord channels to stay up to date with the latest contest news and announcements on how to win free pets.

The official bracket is up! The quality of the submissions was remarkably strong, so pairing the brackets was pretty difficult!

Some of our submissions were really cool. Repping the brand!

Yes. This is what we think Mark Zuckerberg would look like if you were to photoshop his face onto our shirt and add arms.

Featured on Gamepedia

Just today we’ve been informed that the CryptoPets wiki has been created on Gamepedia. Gamepedia has nearly 5 million articles written across 1900+ games from over 1.2 million contributors. This is a huge win for CryptoPets to introduce our game to the ever expanding gaggle of gamers beyond the traditional realm of crypto.

Gamepedia is a platform to feature our community’s questions and contributions. So please help us to create a strong online presence here!

New Office Opened!

Featuring CryptoPets team members Blake Richardson, Luke Bateman, and Mitchell Opatowsky

The CryptoPets team opened a new office at Alley, DC at the Washington, D.C. location. The office will soon be a testing spot for Verizon’s experimental 5G network. We love what the Alley team has done to host us, and couldn’t be more excited for the months to come.

Final Words

Development is looking strong from our team. We couldn’t be more excited to show off the game we’ve been cooking up. Stay tuned for the bigger announcements coming up.

All jokes aside, thanks to the community who’ve stuck with us through development. Your patience will pay off!

With a hug from your friend that lasts just a little bit too long,

The CryptoPets Team
