Tales of 2023 — Year in Review
It’s been a year full of trials and triumphs! As we look back on the year, let us remember the lessons we learned in 2023.
Fellow Knights, gather ‘round for a rewind through Forest Knight’s epic 2023 adventure! From the debut of our first season to exciting collaborations, Sanctum-of-mysteries to the spooky Halloween till the Winter event.
Embarking on a Thrilling First Season
The journey of 2023 began with the launch of our first-ever season, promising action and adventure galore. Crafting a competitive gaming environment is no small feat, especially with challenges like those faced by League of Legends and Valorant. We’ve prioritized community feedback and data analysis to adapt dynamically and provide you with the ultimate gaming adventure. The first season wrapped up with a spectacular showcase of battles, growth, and unexpected twists.
Unleashing the Monkey King and Eclipse Event
February brought the highly anticipated arrival of the Monkey King, wielding the incredible Shadow Clone ability alongside The Eclipse Event that took the town by storm and introduced a dynamic Lunar and Solar cycle. Collect Eclipse Lunar tokens, dive into event stages, and earn Eclipse coins for exclusive NFT items. The update promised thrilling gameplay and unique rewards for all adventurous souls.
ApeSwap Partnership
In a memorable chapter of 2023, we celebrated the launch of $KNIGHT Bonds, standing proudly as launch partners alongside ApeBond on QuickswapDEX. The fusion of Knight, Ape, and Dragon resulted in a legendary collaboration that resonated across the gaming landscape. Our community eagerly embraced this partnership, seizing the unique offerings presented. Notably, we crafted an exclusive Wukong Skin NFT, a limited edition reserved for our esteemed community. The first 500 participants in the $KNIGHT Bonds journey were rewarded with this special NFT, marking yet another highlight in our year of exciting collaborations and surprises.
Rock-Paper-Scissors Arena and Game-Changing Skill Power System
This month marked a significant evolution with the introduction of a rock-paper-scissors system in the arena and rooms, adding an extra layer of excitement. Forest Knight also embraced the future with the Skill Power System, replacing the old skill value system. This global rebalance, coupled with skill description updates, aimed to ensure fairness and elevate your gaming experience.
Guild Transformations and Easter Eggs
Guilds took center stage with transformative changes, boasting levels, exp, perks, and quests. Auto-updating features, a new leaderboard system, and a visually enhanced town made guild management dynamic and engaging. The Easter event offered two weeks of thrilling challenges and competitive guild leaderboards, while the town received a fresh makeover, providing a more immersive experience.
Mythic Heroes and Visual Overhauls
Introducing Damaratus, a mysterious and powerful hero, accompanied by a stunning Mythic skin. The Mythic skinline brought new life to heroes with unique models and captivating visual effects. Visual enhancements continued with significant improvements in VFX and the hero upgrade system, offering a more dynamic and responsive experience.
$KNIGHT Utility
Forest Knight is not only a fun Strategy game for mobile, it also has a deep economy metagame that is powered by the $KNIGHT utility token. And in 2023 we Introduced two major utilities to it starting with NFT Merge & DAO
Introducing NFT Merge
A core mechanic in the game is merge. Players can merge their equipment to create stronger ones. This is also the case for NFT equipment. These merged items can change your gameplay style, decide on a tight arena match, or help you reach higher levels in the campaign! To merge NFTs, the user needs $KNIGHT token based on the merge generation. The more merged, the more tokens are sent to the treasury which creates a positive impact on the whole economy with a semi-deflationary model
After the launch of the NFT Merge, a lot of NFTs were burned and over 1400 NFTs were merged into 4 Different Generations
Forest Knight DAO Revolutionizes Governance
Forest Knight DAO, a decentralized governance system, empowered players to actively shape the game’s future. Staking $KNIGHT tokens allowed active participation in voting on proposals, influencing in-game events, partnerships, and more. The Loyalty System and transparent metrics like Total Staked, Voting Power, and Rewards further enriched the player experience. Let’s shape the future together!
since the launch of DAO, we made 5 successful Knight improvement proposal
KIP:000: Establishing a Treasury Address
KIP:001: Enjin NFTs Migration
KIP:002: NFT Merge for Special Rarity
KIP:003: Monthly NFT Lottery
KIP:004: Game Lore Enhancement
