Perion is excited to announce a Pre-public allocation of US$50,000 into Sidus Heroes in-game SIDUS (US$25k) & SENATE (US$25k) tokens (Trading at a value of $400,000 and $1,250,000 respectively, as of 21/12/21). The ambitious Sci-Fi MMORPG represents a bold move forward for the play-to-earn ecosystem, introducing a robust and comprehensive roadmap, complex economy and a wholly player driven governance model

Owing to the Sidus team’s development of proprietary WebGL and HTML5 software Sidus will be playable directly in browser on PC, MacOS and Mobile without requiring any downloads or specialised hardware. Perion sees Sidus as a key game in the evolution of the play to earn landscape and is a strong proponent of equitable access to quality titles

What is Sidus Heroes

Sidus Heroes is a space MMORPG set in a vast futuristic universe. Both NFTs and fungible tokens come together to form a base of playable characters, economic systems, a robust player-driven governance model and a highly detailed class system. Players will form communities with members of their starting space station, coming together as a collective to allocate resources, allowing them to craft ships to explore new worlds, face new challenges and ultimately grow their foothold within the system

Gameplay

Gameplay is the single most important factor in determining any games future success. Sidus gameplay is attractive before considering the additional layer of play-to-earn mechanics and Web3.0 integration. Players will have the chance to own and trade a huge number of game objects, clothes, images, spaceships, pets and even planets — all as NFTs. These items and the game’s native tokens come together allowing users to play, stake and receive income. Sidus will play host to two native tokens, being the SIDUS (gaming token) and SENATE (governance token)

Governance in a digital world

Sidus’ heroes proposes an in intricate political system whereby players will come together to form parties and councils, win elections, and make decisions on behalf of the broader in-game community. The governance model is underpinned by the previously detailed SENATE token, and will add a deep layer of player-driven narrative to the overarching story of Sidus

Player driven economies — the cornerstone of NFT gaming

The Sidus economy involves a complex economic flywheel revolving around various classes, in game fungible and non-fungible assets and labour types attributed to player classes. Each gameplay vertical is underpinned by deep logical systems that create endless room for player connection and interaction. Ultimately, players will have several different earning opportunities within the game as job roles are highly and deliberately specialised, creating a need for interaction across the player-base

TL;DR — Why Sidus?

  • Ease of access: Sidus Heroes utilises advanced, proprietary WebGL / HTML5 technologies and hardware acceleration, achieving amazing in-browser graphics. Sidus will be directly playable in the browser on PC / Mac / Mobile without requiring any download or specialised hardware -Accessibility is a major selling point when considering the underlying labour markets within NFT game economies and their reliance on inclusion of a broad range of participants across the socio-economic spectrum
  • Vast universe & collaborative gameplay: Sidus is truly a multiplayer experience, requiring broad based social interaction and collaboration in order to achieve success. With the recent emergence of GTA roleplaying servers and tailored role-playing Minecraft servers, player driven worlds are at the forefront of the modern gameplay experience. Perion sees this as an inevitable next step within the blockchain guild landscape and something that will drive engagement with the Sidus universe
  • Player driven economy: Sidus leans into recent developments in both the NFT gaming and crypto-landscape at large, proposing deep governance models, digital labour markets, community driven economies, and a shift from the siloed value extraction model of web 2.0 micro-transaction titles. The gameplay is exciting, immersive and rich in possibility. Sidus proposes a range of different mechanics including exploration, battles, building, trading, crafting and more within a futuristic open world setting

The Sidus Heroes genesis NFT collection is live and available on Opensea (https://opensea.io/collection/sidus-nft-heroes). Owning one of the NFTS enables players to access the closed beta, launching January 10th, 2022
