BlockMonsters Public Beta - LIVE NOW! ???

In this announcement you will find information on how to play our public beta and which competitions you can join.

We will also move the public beta to our dashboard in the next days. In the next weeks, we will have various competitions for you (see "beta competitions" below), starting NOW. Sadly, BSC Testnet is currently having connection issues as our tests today have shown, I hope it will be fine again very soon as we depend on it.

How To Add BNB For Testing In BSC Testnet

This blog post will show you how to add BNB for testing in BSC testnet. What is Binance Smart Chain? Binance Smart Chain is a smart contract platform developed by the Binance Chain development team. It is a blockchain-based multi-asset wallet, decentralized…

- Blockmon Pass

→ A Blockmon pass would be available in our marketplace which increases the experience rate and running speed by 10%. It includes the chance on a very exclusive airdrop of any sort (Blockmon, TM etc.) and three Blockwatch charges. Also, it includes the option to enter the safari zone in our first city, where you will find tons of easter eggs, rare blockmons to catch, quests, tasks and achievements. The pass needs to be rebought every month with MNSTRS.

- Blockwatch Charges

→ Catching a Blockmon depends on luck, level of the Blockmon as well as rarity and health. Blockwatches can be charged with five different types of charges. A charge will only be gone when the Blockmon is succesfully catched. Different charges have to be bought on our own marketplace in MNSTRS as well. You will start the game with 1 free charge when you purchased at least one Blockmon.

- Guilds:

→ Guild leaders must pay a fee in MNSTRS to create a guild. Potential members need to either have a shiny Blockmon to join (once used for a guild, cannot be used for entering the same one again) or need to have one Blockmon of level 8 or higher. Each member also has to pay an entry fee. Guilds will have several benefits. The more members will play at the same time, the higher the experience bonus will be. The bonus is capped to a certain percentage. Guild halls can be purchased on the marketplace for MNSTRS

- Skins:

→ You will be able to put different skins on your Blockmons, this is probably not going to happen with the first 1.0 release, but its already planned. Skins can be obtained through achievements, season events, booster packs and more.

- Fountain of Wishes:

→ in our marketplace, you will find a fountain of wishes where you can add some MNSTRS to. At a random time, it will trigger and will reward a wallet with the total of MNSTRS collected (while 50% is burned).

- Shiny Utility:

→ catching and owning a shiny blockmon can be benefical for you! Having one in your first team and carrying him with you will give you a small experience boost as well as access to a few extra quests and achievements and increased movement speed. More benefits might be added shortly.

Nevertheless, the game will still provide you with a lot of items like evolving gems, potions, charges and many more surprises through achievements, easter eggs and airdrops, quests and tasks. Also keep in mind nothing is set in stone and changes due to technical difficulties or time management may occur. :)

Glad to see you here, in this update we would like to thank those of you that have reported bugs of the V2 to us and also give you a general game update. A short first preview of our map design will be available tomorrow in our Easter Egg hunt and we will release some actual walking footage of our first island next week too! (In the picture you can see our first arena boss by the way). Oh, and we will have a new „Create-your-Blockmon“ event next week too, make sure to get your creative mind ready. :)

1. Quick Game Update & Roadmap:Generally, not that many bugs were found. In terms of balancing, small changes will be made, especially to the buffs „Guarded“, „Guardian Angel“ and „Sleepy“. What's next? We are routing for a rather quick approach of public beta to actually test our servers. We will need to add a few more Blockmons (Jaguh, LinkMe and some others) as well as integrate some attacks, we will finish those after public beta and before P2E release. A new roadmap will be presented at the beginning of next month to Mid May, together with a new whitepaper that we will finish by then. Expect to have a launch consisting of map gameplay and the fight engine combined as we will route for the system „rewards through achievements“.

2. Utility Discussion, Our Ideas (not only for v1.0 Release but also for full game experience) – YOUR Feedback needed (I've tried to combine stuff so it's easy to understand and also left out details, those will be found in the new whitepaper):- Unlimited, Limited Boosters:

→ You will be able to buy unlimited limited booster packs for Blockmons. Limited unlimited Blockmon boosters will be unlimited, but for a limited timeframe. Therefore they are still limited since we will not announce when the boosters will be gone. Those booster packs will occur regularly with different Blockmons. 90% of these Blockmons will be catchable in-game, but some may not be or just very hard to catch. As an example, Blockmons that have been in a Booster pack in January might be in a new pack in April. We might also have several packs available at the same time, containing different Blockmons for your team. Again, those Blockmons will be limited since it could be possible that new packs will never include them again.

→ Next to those booster packs there will be limited and unlimited boosters for several crucial items, such as evolving stones or potions

- Various Usable Items

→ Our ecosystem will depend on several items. First and foremost, we will have five different healing potions, as well as a status healing potion. We will also include stats-strengthening items that for example increase the attack of a Blockmon by a certain pecentage. Those will all be available in our marketplace to purchase with MNSTRS, either in booster packs or just to simply buy. Need your ideas in this case too, we coudlnt decide if we should sell them or put them in those unlimited booster packs as well.

- TMs

→ TMs on the other hand, unlike potions and other usable items, will not be solely buyable. TMs will also only be available in booster packs. You will be able to change the attacks of your Blockmonster. TMs also have a certain rarity. Therefore some attacks might occur quite frequently while others will be rare. A Blockmon always has the same four base attacks when freshly minted. TMs can also be gotten through quests, achievements, airdrops or tasks.

- Burn Mechanism & Marketplace

→ We will have our own marketplace which will cost a few MNSTRS to use for each transaction. Any sell, buy or trade within our marketplace in MNSTRS will burn a certain percentage of MNSTRS instantly, hence decreasing our supply and strengthening the token. There will be a reward system on our site which will reward you for using the marketplace,

- Buybacks

→ some booster packs might rarely be available in BNB. We will use those to get funds for marketing, further development and buybacks

Blockmon Update – 17.04.2022 – Utility Discussion ?

⚠️⚠️⚠️ V2 Fight Engine Release Time Update ⚠️⚠️⚠️

We will release the new V2 version of our fight engine tomorrow at around 4pm UTC! We have tested the build and our new system works as intended. I will livestream for an hour when its live and basically almost throughout the whole night (this will be a special event, make sure to join for some events and fresh gameplay)! More information released tomorrow ?

Blockmon Update - 30.03.2022 ? V2 IS COMING!

Welcome to yet another Blockmon Update where we will finally announce the date of V2 as well as other important bullet points to read through!??

1. V2 LAUNCH ?

The ETA of V2 Beta Launch of BlockMonsters will be 10.04.2022-12.04.2022! So its less than 2 weeks away! In order to show you what it will look like, a small peak of some attacks and states is added as a video above (keep in mind it's level 1 and you will be able to choose your Blockmon level in this new version). We've added new animations to almost all attacks, buffs/debuffs, rebalanced the whole system, changed the APs, added other animations, [...]. Keep in mind, we are working on background animations as we speak, as well as finishing the other attack animations for those attacks who are not inside the V2 version. :) Please stay around in Discord for streams on our V2 version, we will need a lot of feedback, especially on our new attacks!

Meet Qoltark, the evolution of the fear-inducing Pirate-Parrot Quilect! ??

This flying ghost type Blockmon is every bit as menacing and scary as its predecessor. As it grew, Qoltark abandoned its crew of rogue pirates to go on a solo mission. Some say there was a mutiny on deck, others say Qoltark destroyed the entire boat in a fit of rage related to his original capture... but there's no way to prove either of these stories true.

What we do know is Qoltark is not to be messed with. Beneath that cloak he has huge wings that are ribbed with boney horns that can do lethal piercing damage. It has a ghostly, razor sharp tale that's reminiscent of a scythe, and like just like the grim reaper, when Qoltark attacks with that you can be sure that death and destruction are afoot.

V2-wise we might be able to give an ETA shortly, working on some server-related issues at the moment and rebalanced the attacks which were too strong (e.g. no attack will have 100% accuraccy, unless a buff, like e.g. Sniper, has helped to do so). We will reveal some of our closer utility plans in the next weeks. As a little leak for one of several MNSTRS utilities - attacks will consist of base attacks (weak-strong) of 8-12 attacks for each type. In total we will have more attacks available, which will be part of our new unlimited, limited boosters that will come in shortly AFTER P2E Launch. So some attacks might even only be available in a specific timeframe (see explanation of limited, unlimited boosters). Furthermore, we made sure that some attacks will only be available in quests or achievements! Therefore you will be able to MODIFY the four attacks of your Blockmons with NFTs that will be burnt after being used. This is one of out many complex utilities for $MNSTRS, more will be revealed here soon and also available in our new whitepaper that will be published via notion.

In addition, I would like to congratulate Luna and Rudz to their new position as Head CMs as Jaguar has gotten a real life job offer that he had to accept, as you may have noticed he has been pretty busy within the last weeks/months and therefore he wont be able to work on this important area. We wish him all the best, and im sure he will be around here and then. With Rudz and Luna we will have two experienced Blockmon Mods structuring the mod schedule and making sure that our beloved community knows who to talk to if any problems occur. Therefore, we believe our mod team is ready for the storm, are you though?

Automatic surprise wins are set to every 2 weeks from Monday on, so basically every Monday night every two weeks, it will slowly hand out the surprise wins (apart from Jaguh who will be handed out by Kayne). Therefore the bot will hand out more than 3000$ worth of MNSTRS next Monday. As the system is new, if you miss any funds, message HHH directly if you still miss them by Wednesday night!

Meet Drakovein #147 - the Flying / Fire Legendary Blockmon ? Drakovein is one of the legendary Blockmons located in the Arnindon Region. It's so rare that the entire population of the Arnindon Region considers it a myth. ? Nobody from the Arnindon Region have encountered Drakovein before so nobody knows how tall it is neither how heavy it is!

Meet Ovocrypt #116?

The lovable little cryptic-type Blockmon that resembles an Owl that mated with an Android... In fact - there's rumours going around that say that's exactly how Ovocrypt came to be! This Blockmon may look kinda cute and unsuspecting - but make no mistake - Ovocrypt poses a true threat to any that may dare to cross it. ?

Ovocrypt has some of the most sophisticated and impenetrable defences of any Blockmon? - able to shield its body by compressing into a small, metal ball that not even bullets could pass through. In this state - Ovocrypt can stay protected whilst it launches advanced psychic attacks directly into its enemy's mind - even able to hack into the very emotions of Trainers and Blockmons alike and cause them to feel great mental pain and suffering, as well as deep inner torment and disharmony.
