| Geek Month: Special New Release! Participate in the Open Beta! | |
| Posted by JT_ on May 16, 2013 4:52 pm | |
| Today we are starting an open beta for a new game on P3! What does open beta mean? Well, while we have tested this game pretty thoroughly, it's possible you may run into a few bugs and other minor issues. It's also possible, as we see people playing this new game, that we will make changes to how the game works. That is why we are calling it an open beta-- it's done and ready to go, but we need your help to be sure it's awesome! If you DO notice a bug, it's extremely important that you either send me (JT #3) a PM with the information, or post in the Bugs area of our forum. We want to make sure to fix everything ASAP! Welcome to the Dragn's Hoard! It's a giant pile of coins and gold bits, collected by a dragn! (As we all know, dragns love shiny things and gold coins definitely apply.) But beware, there are dangers lurking in the form of traps! (More on this in a bit!) The New Energy System This game will also help us introduce a new system-- Energy & Gold Energy! In order to play Dragn's Hoard, you will have to spend some of your Energy. At midnight every day, all users receive a FULL refill of Energy. For normal user accounts, this is 40 Energy. For Premium accounts, it is 80 Energy. Think of this Energy meter as a daily freebie that you can spend, but you cannot keep it. If you don't spend it all, it will disappear when the next full refill comes. In addition to the Energy, we also have Gold Energy. Gold Energy does NOT get reset every night-- think of it as your own personal stash that you can keep, similar to Puma Pence and Tiger Eyes. This is why it starts off at zero. There will be items you can use to increase your Gold Energy (you'll see!). Gold Energy is ONLY spent if you run out of the free daily Energy when trying to click on a coin. There will be no warning that you are using Gold Energy (other than your Energy meter being on zero), so keep that in mind when you are playing! You will notice there is now an Energy Meter in your Currency area at the top left (it should be a nice purple bar). Over the course of the day, as you spend your Energy to play, your Energy meter will go down. Every hour, your Energy Meter will increase by 2 so long as you have not hit your Max Energy (40 for normal or 80 for premium). So for example, if your max energy is 80 and you spend it down to 70-- over the next 5 hours, your Energy will increase by 2 until you hit 80 again (or if midnight comes around and your Energy is refilled to 80 automatically). NOW-- onto the actual game play! There is a HUGE grid filled with gold coins. The object of the game is to uncover as many of those coins as you can, in order to find the prizes hidden under them. Who doesn't love prizes?? :D Dragn's Hoard is similar to Minesweeper, but also incredibly different at the same time. You can play Dragn's Hoard with as much or as little strategy as you like, so it is not quite as punishing! You will NEVER hit a game over, until YOU decide to start a fresh grid. Hopefully you will find that no matter your skill level, you can have fun and win some prizes. The HOW TO PLAY information below is also on the game page itself, so you can reference it at any time. HOW TO PLAY STARTING To begin your game, you can click on any Gold Coin (  ) on the grid. So many options!MOVING Once you have clicked your starting Coin, you are able to move to another Coin on the grid. This Coin must be directly adjacent to your current Coin (colored green). If you move to an unvisited Gold Coin ( ), it will cost 2 Energy. If you move to a previously visited White or Black Coin (  ), it will cost 1 Energy (yes, you can backtrack to visit another path!).CURRENT LOCATION Your current location Coin is marked with a  Green Coin.TRAPS & HEAT MAP Traps exist on the board, and the heat map will give you an approximate idea of how many moves away a trap could be from your visited coins. If you stumble upon a trap, ALL the coins in a radius around the trap will be immediately destroyed (they will turn into Black Coins). A Red square indicates you are within a radius of 1 from the Trap; an Orange square indicates you are within a radius of 2 from the Trap. The heat map will only take into account "hidden" traps-- not any that you have already sprung! GAME BOARD - This coin is unvisited. Who knows what awaits beneath it? - This coin has been visited, and you received a prize! - This coin has been visited, and was completely empty. It also indicates a coin blackened by a Trap explosion. - An exploded Trap! You cannot click on these, since it is much too dangerous.PRIZES Puma Pence, items, and some surprises... The only way to find out is to play! NEW GAME At any time, you can choose to reset your hoard and start a new game. This costs 5 Energy. Your current hoard will be completely erased, and you will be presented with a brand new grid full of Gold Coins. Want to play? CLICK HERE!!!! or check out the GAMES page! |
