Exodus: goodbye world Alpha Developement and migration to beta

​In the rapidly evolving landscape of Blockchain gaming, "Exodus: Goodbye World" stands out as a beacon of innovation and engagement. This pioneering game, built on the Decentraland platform and integrating with the Polygon blockchain, is set to redefine what we expect from blockchain gaming experiences. As we edge closer to the Beta targeting July 2024, let's dive into the journey through its Alpha stage, which began on June 20th, 2022.

The Skill Odyssey
"Exodus: Goodbye World" embarked on its Alpha journey with the introduction of the Woodchopping skill, setting the stage for a meticulously planned rollout of diverse skills aimed at enriching the player's engagement. This rollout followed a strategic sequence: Fishing, Mining, Cooking, Forging, Workshop, Combat, Farming, and finally, the Apothecary Skill set for release at the end of April 2024. Notably, the innovative Mobile Crypto Mining feature is planned introduction for April 20th, further integrating into Decentraland in May, leveraging the game's in-game cryptocurrency, MetaMoney.

Transitioning to Beta - The Reset and Preservation
As "Exodus: Goodbye World" planning it's transition to its Beta phase in July 2024, it ushers in a new dawn for its dedicated player base. This transition will see a reset of all player skills and most in-game items earned throughout the Alpha stage, marking a fresh start. However, in a move to honor the time and effort invested by players during the Alpha stage, all full shards, pieces of shards from each skill, all event items (with the exception of event resources & tickets), and notably, the Thanksgiving 2022 pumpkins, will be preserved. Moreover, all NFTs earned through events and the Alpha Shoppe from the NPC Silas will seamlessly transition to the Beta phase, ensuring that these valuable assets remain in the players' accounts. This includes the Santa Hats and Gold Santa Hats.

Bridging to Blockchain - A Two-Way Street
A groundbreaking feature of "Exodus: Goodbye World" is its fluid integration with blockchain technology. Items within the game, while existing as game items, can be bridged out as blockchain items, facilitating their transfer or trade on platforms like OpenSea. This dual functionality not only enhances the efficiency of transactions but also significantly reduces transaction costs associated with blockchain gas fees. As blockchains become more efficient it will be possible to have life blockchain transactions within the game.

The Road Ahead
Post-transition, the development team's focus will shift towards refining the user experience based on player feedback. This encompasses adding animations, adjusting XP rates, and rebalancing the economics of items and drop rates. The team is committed to creating a more engaging environment through easier and more challenging content, introducing quests, and continuously developing the game.

Conclusion
​"Exodus: Goodbye World" is not just a game; it's a foray into the future of gaming, where the traditional meets the blockchain, and communities are built not just in-game but around the game. As we look forward to the Beta release, the excitement within the community is palpable, with players eager to explore the enhancements and continue their journey in this vibrant Metaverse.
