I continue to play and grind my way up in the Mobile Blockchain NFT Play2Earn Game Mobile MiniGames while keeping up with the development. This is a monthly update and how things are going along with the personal progress I'm making...


Development Updates

Things continue to go quite slow right now as the focus of the team and the main dev seem to be spread over different things right now instead of putting full priority on the game. While there were almost daily updates in the past about the game and the improvements that were being made on the Athenelive Twitch channel, for the past months this has shifted totally to AI-related streams which at the start picked up some virality but by now this has dropped quite a bit again. Personally, I'm not interested in it whatsoever and just see it as months without real updates on what's happening with the game.

Recently there was a small update on the project on the Singularity Group Website [Link]. To summarise this: basically, they have issues to keep covering the costs to run the compound and have put their focus on taking care of this in several ways from selling the Hot Reload for Unity as a service [hotreload.net] where they are self-reported to have 2000 active licenses sold already, to doing the Athene AI Show [Link] and having new deals in the game that only can be bought in the app store indirectly reducing the utility for PRPS & DUBI. They for now stopped running ads as they are not profitable and working to improve that while having changed the name in the meantime to fit the narrative of the stream. The aim is still the bring back the DUBI Buy-wall and keep supporting PRPS & DUBI but in the short term there likely isn't going to be much light in the darkness.


New Game Update Patch

There has been a new game update mostly including a new tutorial and also adding a couple new buildings without anything fundamentally really changing. These Buildings were added

Giving Works Building This building tries to highlight the charity goals with some profiles of people from the Phillippines that play the game and made some money which kind of rubs me the wrong way as an investor and player as it's indirectly saying 'we dump tokens helping to get the price as low as it is now'. The building also adds new deals bypassing the dynamic where PRPS or DUBI can be used to do purchases in the game and has a tab where all the volunteers are highlighted to bring in some sympathy for the entire project.

There is now also a separate building for the Pet Guardians which is a nice improvement as it's much more clear now what they do giving players more incentive to level up and understand how it all works. The daily attraction of pets also moved there.

Also, there is a new Unlock Upgrades Buiding with future Minigames and features that will be added to the game.


Personal Thoughts & Plans

Along with most of the community that has invested quite a bit and been in the game from the start, I'm also starting to really get worn down by the entire situation as it's just frustrating to see a game that is this good with actual a solid long-term token omics model (at least compared to most other crypto Play2Earn games) while at the same time, 100% of the focus is just put on ROAS (Return On Advertisement), while token prices, game economy, community engagement, organic growth, and overall exposure in the crypto space are totally neglected which put us in the place we are right now.

This said, I'm still long-term bullish on the game and the tokens and it's painful to see PRPS at the price that it is right now and I so far see it as my biggest misjudgment in any coin performance right now as It being at least somewhat stable around 5$-10$ really was my worst case anticipated scenario. All the mistakes that were made how things played out so far for sure put a massive hit into my trust in the capabilities of Athene and the team. I still consider the price of the Token dirt cheap right now compared to what they have but it it were to be that things stabilize and get more toward what I see as the real value, I will start reducing my exposure.

In the meantime, I do see right now as potentially a crazy time to grow and I aim to export a lot of Exclusive skins which I see as the best assets in the game since their Crypton generation never depletes while they can be sold. This if the ability to exports with PRPS or DUBI actually gets fixed as it is broken right now. 10% of their generation also is spread to players that have a plot in Land (Gent) which I aim to make one of the best available and highest-wanted to get on in the entire game over time. Right now there are 5 spots free with the only requirement to log in daily as that is needed to trigger the earnings.


PRPS & DUBI Update

Both tokens still can be used at a price of 13$ and 26$ in the online Mobile MiniGames Store despite the fact that they are trading at a massive discount. What seemed to be a 1.3$ peg was broken this month with PRPS going as low as 0.75$ now sitting at just below 1$ reaching new lows and a continued 10-month downtrend since the DUBI Buy wall was removed

(*** Naively assuming Buy-Wall will be put up again as it has been down for 7 months now with the gap growing to a point where it's not realistic to come back anytime soon)


These are the Token Contracts

PRPS (Polygon): 0x972999c58BbcE63a2e398d4ED3Bde414b8349eB3 DUBI (Polygon): 0x950e1561B7A7dEB1A32A6419FD435410daf851B0

a full overview of on-chain activity can be found on prps.moe

  • PRPS Level 270: 0.99$ [Last Month 1.31$]
  • DUBI Price: 1.98$ [Last Month 2.65$]

Right now there is no reason for prices to go up as the demand isn't there and it's mostly a patience game anticipating for the team to put the buy-wall back at some point.


Personal Clash Of Streamers Game Progress

I'm still playing daily trying to increase my passive Crypton earnings and building my community in anticipation for the game get back into player expansion when the problems are fixed and advertisement starts again.

I also feel like I kind of reached the end-game and don't have that much to do anymore in the game aside from managing my community and trying to get all my land plots filled. While it's hard to actually promote the game right now, anyone who wants to understand how to potentially earn should check this article (Link).

Conclusion

It is still a tough time right now for Mobile MiniGames but I guess those that keep believing will get rewarded the most once things start turning around. It is really frustrating though to see how things have turned out so far especially given the actual potential of the game. There is just about enough things done for me to continue this series of posts but I might put them on pause if development continues to slow down.
