Novopangea, the immersive fantasy universe comprised of six distinct realms, is about to witness a monumental event. The popular creatures of Novopangea are soon to be unleashed into the wild, marking the first major feature release that will herald the separation of each realm. This article delves into the captivating creature game loop, the assets they bring, and the release timeline.
Creature Game Loop: Scavenge and Thrive
The creature game loop parallels the popular skilled worker loop in Novopangea. Players will use OBSD to send their creatures into the wild to scavenge for resources. The rarity, level, and type of each creature will determine the abundance of resources it returns with.
Each creature boasts unique characteristics, including size, weight, level, and luck, all of which influence their scavenging prowess. They may return with a combination of energy, building materials, food, and even an NFT. As realm-specific resources are introduced later in the year, creatures will predominantly focus on scavenging for their native realms.
After their scavenging expedition, creatures must be fed and allowed to rest within a Creature Farm. Each creature has its own rest time, ensuring a dynamic gameplay experience.
Expanding Your Creature Arsenal
At the outset, players can send up to five creatures into the wild simultaneously. Two spots will be unlocked initially, and players can acquire three more by using $NOVO. However, unlocking additional spots will come at an increasing cost in $NOVO.
Players can have more than five creatures, but only five can be sent scavenging at any given time. The rest of the creatures will either be resting or stored in the player’s wallet.
To use a creature, players must have access to its realm. This means the creature either needs to be from the player’s home realm or they need a Travel Pass or Mythic staked to gain access. Similar requirements apply to Workers.
New Assets (NFTs): Creature Cards and Creature Farms
Creature cards will be available in various rarities, ranging from Common to Mythic. Each card can be leveled up to Level 10. The creature card frames and attributes can also be used during PVP (player versus player) battles in the future.
Creature Farms function similarly to Residential Buildings, requiring one plot of land and capable of resting two creatures at once. Players can upgrade their Creature Farms to improve their capabilities.
Creature Release Timeline
The creatures will be released in realm-specific creature packs, each realm receiving 500 packs. The packs can be acquired using $NOVO (100 packs) or fiat (400 packs). Each pack will contain a single Level 1 creature card of random rarity.
Initially, the Creature packs will debut on the Novopangea NeftyBlocks drop page and can be acquired exclusively using $NOVO. Players holding a Novopangea Founders Passport PFP will enjoy whitelist access, enabling them to claim a pack for 1650 $NOVO. Each whitelisted wallet will have the opportunity to claim 2 Creature Packs per realm within a 48-hour whitelist period.
Following the whitelist phase, all players will have the chance to obtain creature packs using $NOVO. Additionally, any remaining packs will be made available for purchase in the NOVO SHOP using fiat at a price of $19 USD.
