Paradise Tycoon is set to begin its Genesis Island presale on September 13th at 8 PM UTC. The presale is exclusive to Paradise Pass holders and those with 4+ coupons. The sale will run for 72 hours, with islands available for purchase using $MOANI tokens. All funds from the sale will go directly toward rewards for the Harvest Season.
This marks a major moment for the game, as the play to Airdrop event and presale lead into a new phase. The third and final season of the play to airdrop event began on September 10th, allowing players to earn $MOANI tokens by engaging with the game. This play to airdrop event provides a free level of rewards, but players can also purchase a Paradise Pass for even higher earnings.
The presale will occur in two stages. The first stage, starting on September 13th, will be limited to Paradise Pass holders and coupon users. The islands sold in this presale will be priced at a discount compared to the upcoming public sale.
Players who acquire these islands will be subject to the same release schedule as private funding round participants. This allows early adopters to secure these limited-edition islands before they are available to the broader public.
Paradise Tycoon’s Epic Genesis Island offers players a large, customizable virtual space within a vibrant ecosystem. These limited-edition islands provide additional farming areas and a variety of in-game resources, offering more strategic gameplay opportunities. Set in an exotic, natural landscape, the islands give players an exclusive opportunity to expand their territory and participate in a more immersive in-game environment.
Several updates for Paradise Tycoon were launched on September 10th with the start of the third and final season of the play to airdrop event. To begin, tools in the game will now have a lifespan, meaning players will need to manage their resources more strategically. Additionally, NFTs will play a bigger role in the game’s economy, offering permanent bonuses that tools can’t provide. Resource extraction will also be adjusted, limiting indefinite resource collection and ensuring a more balanced economy.
Other improvements include a new crafting system where players can learn blueprints and directly craft tools. Higher-level tools will be significantly more effective, and the game will introduce foliage regrowth on islands, requiring active management. Secondary drops from clearing foliage will add more depth to the game’s rewards system, and short video tutorials will be included to help guide new players.
Upcoming events include a fishing competition featuring unique fish like the legendary mahi-mahi, with real-time leaderboards and fair distribution of rewards.
The recent AMA session for Paradise Tycoon's Harvest Season took place on September 11th, 2024. Despite some technical issues at launch, the team was excited to share the event with the community. The team discussed many new features.
First, the Quest Board is this season's central feature, allowing players to view and complete various tasks to earn points and rewards. This board, developed in collaboration with Snack Solutions, enables players to track their progress through missions like Welcome to Paradise and Clean as a Whistle, which reward players with 1500 badges each.
Players can access the Quest Board by connecting their accounts via MetaMask or Immutable Passport. In addition to in-game quests, players can complete social media tasks to earn rewards, such as retweeting game announcements or following official accounts.
In addition to Paradise Tycoon NFTs, the game has partnered with several web3 projects, including Neo Tokyo, Wilder Worlds, and Earth Lizards. These collaborations allow players who hold partner NFTs to earn extra points and bonuses in the game. However, the partner NFT multiplier is capped at 2X, regardless of how many partner NFTs a player holds.
To enhance gameplay, several technical updates were implemented in the game, including adjustments to the crafting system and chat history. The growth rate of foliage on islands was reduced to make terrain maintenance easier. Additionally, issues with early-minted fishing rods were addressed, and a fishing tournament event is planned for the following week.
The AMA also clarified that new missions will be added regularly, and the NFT multipliers will be adjusted daily. Players can complete social quests, such as retweets, anytime unless they are time-sensitive. The team also confirmed that holders of partner NFTs will receive weekly badges, but their multiplier remains limited to 2X.
The team concluded the AMA by sharing their excitement for the Harvest Season and the future of Paradise Tycoon. Overall, with the Genesis Island sale starting on September 13th, and Harvest Season underway, the game’s ecosystem is set to grow rapidly, offering players new opportunities to earn and play.
