Status of The Great Battle

Game Mechanics

I am creating this thread to get some information regarding The Great Battle.

It has been delayed a few times, including just recently which has had an impact on the vote for doing another re-roll on alchemica in land parcels.

There was also some discussion in the last weekly hangout on how Pixelcraft will be launching a new mobile game first before the first Great Battle in the Gotchiverse so that there isn’t a churn after the first event.

I have kinda realized given that we don’t have the Gotchiverse Game Bible Chapter on liquidators we still know fairly little about The Great Battle. As far as I am aware we also haven’t seen any screenshots or video footage.

A couple of questions I had:

  1. Given the mobile game hasn’t been created yet, and it looks like development is in the very early stages what is the target quarter for the launch of The Great Battle in the Gotchiverse

  2. How many simultaneous players will The Great Battle be able to support at once?

  3. Will the Phaser Game Engine and the backend custom networking solution that has been built support players across different regions of the world playing together at once with minimal latency so that the game is playable in a single game instance?

  4. Will there be an anti-botting solution in place?

  5. Will all of the weapon wearables be usable in the first Great Battle? Will wearables that are not weapons have any utility in the Great Battle?

  6. Will traits be enabled for the first Great Battle?

  7. What can liquidators do? Are they all the same enemy type or are there different variants?

  8. How can liquidators and Gotchis spend Alchemica during the Great Battle?

  9. Will we have walls and towers before the first Great Battle?

  10. Can PC Studios share any screenshots or videos on the progress of the implementation of the Great Battle?

Everyone feel free to add your questions.

Thanks jarrod for raising specific questions regarding the great battle. Questions I’d like to add are:

-Will the great portal area be active before the great battle as the last line of defense?

-Will the liquidators be able to damage installations of the farmers requiring later repairing?

-Are there any player rewards planned to be spent for the event in the form of a leaderboard for best k/d, most damage, most healing etc. for different roles among aavegotchis or liquidators?

I think these would be good to know, in particular, from PC:

" 2. How many simultaneous players will The Great Battle be able to support at once?

  1. Will the Phaser Game Engine and the backend custom networking solution that has been built support players across different regions of the world playing together at once with minimal latency so that the game is playable in a single game instance?

"

Is it even possible to have a huge number of players doing it at once ? Or was it a bit of a pipe dream and we should pivot from the idea ?
