⚔️ SKY STRIFE IS LIVE! ⚔️
We’re starting the world off with plenty of free matches and the season pass mint at a fixed price of 0.03 ETH.
The mint lasts for 72 hours (ends May 4 at 4:00pm UTC)

Let's take some time to talk about orbs (🔮), the ERC-20 lifeblood of the Sky Strife world.
There will be a fixed supply (🔮100 million) of orbs at the launch of the world and more will never be minted.
But what exactly are they and how do they work?
Let’s dive in 👇🧵

Season 1 of Sky Strife begins tomorrow on Redstone Mainnet.
This season lasts from May 1 at 5pm GMT to May 31. It includes a 72H Season Pass mint (0.03 ETH each) and matches created every 8 hours at 2a, 10a, and 6p GMT.
To get you prepared, let’s cover the basics. 🧵
⚔️Season 0 of Sky Strife is officially over! Thank you to all of our players, tournament-organizers and participants over the past three weeks!
We'll be taking a short break, and are coming back on January 8th for a new Season! See you then!
1/ ⚔️FINAL TESTNET SEASON!?⚔️
The time is here — Season 0.3 will be starting next week on Tuesday, March 19, 2024 8AM GMT — but this will not be any ordinary season...

⚔️ New year, new Sky Strife Season!
Get ready for Sky Strife Season 0.1, starting on Monday January 8th on the Redstone Holesky testnet!

1/ ⚔️ We have some MAJOR updates to Sky Strife coming for you next week! This might be our biggest upgrade yet, so don’t miss it. New battle mechanics, new units, and a brand new map await!

Amazing work! Behold the power of all of Sky Strife's data being exposed by default.
Excited to see how the data evolves in the upcoming Season on Mar 19 👀

Remember the Dutch Auction mint of Season Passes in Sky Strife Season 0 in which we saw about 40 Season Passes minted — and prices surging to over 20k Holesky ETH?
Before Season 0.3, starting next Tuesday, March 19th, we’ll be running a one day playtest this Thursday with two one-hour timeslots available to play and test out plugins!
-First timeslot: 9AM ET / 1PM BT
-Second timeslot: 9PM ET / 1AM BT
🚨Attention players: last night we put Sky Strife into maintenance mode due to persistent issues around loading the game. The crux of the issue is that the Sky Strife world has grown very large from the amount of matches that have been created. These are good problems to have!

This week we’ll be focusing on the headless client (and beyond). Read on to learn more about how you can use it to mod the game!
1/ ⚔️ Sky Strife 0.2 is ending soon!
On Thursday February 29th at 5PM ET, Sky Strife will be winding down for a break. This means you only have a few more days to play with the new units and new combat.
Our next playtest is right around the corner, tomorrow at 10:30am EST. Looking forward to seeing some new players fight it out for the Ember Crown! ⚔️👑

<Beginner Guide for Sky Strife Season 0>
In light of our

competition later, we have decided to put forth a beginner guide for new and old players.

Too lazy to watch? We summarized it below 🧵
(1/4)
Next up in the Testnet Hall of Fame we have the creators — the top 5 wallet addresses with the most matches created throughout all testnet seasons.
I wonder if we'll see them doing the same on mainnet...
7/8
Oh — and you may be thinking...
“Did you just choose a random emoji as a placeholder during an early playtest, name them orbs because the community started calling them that, and then decide to launch with it?"
We can neither confirm nor deny.
3/ As we prepare for launch we will be running weekly playtests on an ETH testnet—every Friday at 10:30am EST. You can expect rapid changes in gameplay and UX during this time.
The bonus: your feedback will be extra valuable in these early stages of development!
AA24 demos just wrapped. A huge amount of technical and creative energy produced 22 amazing hacks built over two days. All talks recorded, but this alpha cannot wait. Let's go!
1/ Our upgrades to Sky Strife are going live TONIGHT! We will have some planned downtime between 11PM ET-12AM ET to deploy the upgrade, and then you will be able to experience the new units, new counter system, and new map for the first time!
A short clip from a battle between

It turned the tides in Velorum's favor and resulted in a win ⚔️

We'll be hosting bi-weekly office hours with
@Kooshaba
every other Thursday starting February 8th at 7pm ET, to explore building plugins for Sky Strife!
Join our Discord to call in!
We've got a playtest coming up in 30 minutes! ⚔️
Made a quick balance update: counter-attacks are now stronger across the board to decrease the attacker's advantage.

A major reason Sky Strife was even built onchain in the first place is so it could benefit from the permissionless, open nature of the blockchain.
Sky Strife is fully open-source, built on MUD (), and already has developers building plugins and…
First up, we’re releasing in-game chat (!!), powered by

Check it out if you're interested in the game or are looking to create custom clients and plugins!
2/ We plan to iteratively transform Sky Strife into an Autonomous World with resources, logic, and an economy that can be freely built upon.
The community will be able to develop onchain games, rulesets, and mods in the world Sky Strife is set in: ███.

Our intention with the Sky Key is to turn the "admin" access of a developer into a transferrable object.
In the future it will allow us to pass the Sky Key and the control of the world onto the community.
This is true autonomy — a game becoming owned and controlled by the…

This season, the Season Pass will be 0.03 ETH and will be available to mint for 72 hours after launch.
Season passes are soul-bound NFT's minted at the beginning of each season. They grant access to exclusive matches, maps, heroes, and more.

Win matches and you’ll find yourself building up orbs (🔮), the ERC-20 backbone of the Sky Strife economy.
The only way to earn these orbs is from playing matches. Not even the Sky Strife team has access to orbs outside of winning matches.
1/8
Let's take some time to talk about orbs (🔮), the ERC-20 lifeblood of the Sky Strife world.
There will be a fixed supply (🔮100 million) of orbs at the launch of the world and more will never be minted.
But what exactly are they and how do they work?
Let’s dive in 👇🧵
Sky Strife Season 0.2 is ending in 24 hours! Be sure to get your last matches in before we go dark at 7pm ET on Thursday / 12am GMT on Friday.
We’ll be returning on March 19th and running until March 29th, so get ready for an action-packed Season 0.3!
If you have a Season Pass, you can play anytime! And if you couldn’t snag one this time around, go play in the next round of free matches at 12am GMT or 12pm GMT!
This is also impacting Sky Strife matches, so we need to stop the games until there's a fix. We will be extending the Season Pass mint window to account for this downtime and will send an update as soon as we have more details.
⚠️ The Redstone Holesky testnet sequencer is currently suffering some downtime. We will keep you updated as we work to solve this issue. Apologies and thanks for your patience!
2/8
Orbs have the sole purpose of creating matches in Sky Strife. It costs 🔮100 to create a match and each match will give rewards to players based on their rank.
Total rewards range from 🔮500 to 🔮0 depending on how many matches have been played in the past 7 days. More…
As much as the team loved to see it, we wanted to make sure some more users got the Season Pass this time around so we could see what the ecosystem was like with more holders.
