The Galactic Hubs grant program is heating up in Season 2, as the Alien Worlds team approved six new games for development. With the goal of creating a diverse ecosystem of games that appeal to different players, these games allow Alien Worlds Explorers to use their NFTs and Trilium across the metaverse.

Another focus of this season is on community-generated content to enrich the lore and foster discussions among members of the metaverse. In addition, the team is committed to promoting long-format discussions among community members.

To achieve a thriving metaverse, strong tools and infrastructure are essential. Hence, the Alien Worlds team continues to support tooling development.

The projects currently in development in Season 2 are:

  • Battledome Syndicate Toolset: Restack.AI aims to enhance the Battledome game, the Alien Worlds metaverse card battler, by focusing on community integration and decentralization. The project’s goal is to develop a set of tools and processes that will improve player and DAO engagement.
  • Battlefleet Armageddon: An auto battler game set in space, where players control a fleet of ships from different factions. The free-to-play mobile game is asynchronous multiplayer, allowing players to battle against opponents worldwide.
  • Galactic Standoff – MVP: A mass multiplayer PVP strategy game within the Alien Worlds metaverse, where players can pledge allegiance to decentralized Starbases, upgrade and defend their bases, and earn power-ups to become the strongest Starbase.
  • Trilium Quest – MVP: An MMORPG set in an immersive open world with six unique planets, each with its own story and lore. Players can choose their starting planet and race and explore the universe, accept quests, fight monsters, mine for Trilium, and set up shops to sell items to other players.

The Galactic Hubs grant program is also funding several development grants, including:

  • Mission Notifications: Resolving a bot integration issue caused by Telegram’s ‘Topics’ feature, this grant supports sending mission notifications to Telegram and Twitter.
  • Unreal Worlds Lore: The Unreal Worlds animation project aims to continue the story of four characters in the Alien Worlds metaverse with high-quality art and intriguing storytelling.
  • A2 Boss Battle: The creators of Acryptia, TACO, will soon launch the A2 Boss Battle community event in the Acryptia card game. Players must complete a collective task, such as dealing 2,000,000 damage to defeat a monster.
  • Alien Worlds Community TV: The YouTube channel hosted by Brandon Parker features interviews with project leaders, syndicate candidates, community members, and deep dives into strategy and insider tips.
  • Alien Worlds Community Avatar Maker: A platform for creating, sharing, and earning from custom avatar designs, built on the WAX blockchain.
