Arcade Colony and Moon Karts (Lets Dig In)


[All Image Disclaimers Located At End Of Post]



Today is the day that I decided to look into what Arcade Colony and Moon Karts is all about. As I type this I know next to zero about Moon Arts other than Arcade Colony created and launched it. As with most my Hive Related searches I figured if I'm going to spend time researching then I should put my findings into a post. So that is what is happening. The question now becomes where do we start that research. As always I search the Hive Blockchain to see if there is any associated profile names linked to the project I'm researching. Sure enough Arcade Colony has their very own Hive account named (yup you guessed it) @arcadecolony. So this post will be about all the info I was able to gather from that specific Hive Profile. I think the best way for me to do that is highlight the posts created by the project and leave a snippet under each URL link that will lead to the full details of the original post. Hopefully for those interested this will save them some time when doing their own research. We will skip the introduction post of Arcade Colony as its just a post that says "Hello World" with a single image. The follow-up post was much more interesting and contains much information.



Official Arcade Colony Quote

The Invennium Corporation, a 100% subsidiary of Splinterlands, is thrilled to unveil its new gaming platform, Arcade Colony, accompanied by the launch of its inaugural game, Moon Karts!

Invennium Corporation announces the creation and launch of Arcade Colony and Moon Karts

Moon Karts – The First Game:

The inaugural game on Arcade Colony is "Moon Karts," a Web3 play-to-earn kart racing game built with the Unity Engine. Players can purchase packs to collect drivers, karts, and accessories, which enables them to compete in multiplayer races. Moon Karts introduces an innovative earning system through leaderboards, skill-based rankings, in-race coin collection, and a referral program. The game allows up to six players to race at a time. On the track are coins, which if collected can earn token based rewards, but be careful! Your opponents have the ability to shoot your vehicle to slow you down, knock you off course, and empty your kart of precious coins you hope to earn. Will you make it to the Moon or will you be sidelined and lose your rewards? Click the highlighted link to read more.

RentMoney's Thoughts On All This:

I have more research to do but I am intrigued. This seems like a fun game to play. On the surface the Moon Karts game seems to have that Mario Kart vibe which I'm sure the creators were going for (Which is great) who doesn't like Mario Kart. The most recent post from the official @arcadecolony Hive Blog account was published on 06/25/2024. That post detailed all one needs to know about pack openings. I haven't dug into that post yet as I'm still unpacking all the other newly acquired information detailed in this post. If I decide to purchase a pack or two you can bet there will be a follow up post to this current one with all the juicy pack opening details in it. If you are interested in visiting the official announcement for pack openings you can do so by clicking the following highlighted URL: Arcade Colony: Moonkarts Pack Opening.

I'm super happy to see they are still at it and working hard on the project.
For some time it really felt like it got abandoned.

I agree, it can be a little confusing and I had to log in multiple times as well. It's likely we just aren't use to navigating the site. I explored the site but hit a roadblock when was told to confirm my email. I will do that in the upcoming days.

HomePage: https://www.arcadecolony.com/
Market Link: https://www.arcadecolony.com/market
Packs Link: https://www.arcadecolony.com/packs

You can get to the packs section after log in and clicking the shop icon top of page. Drop down menu will display the different packs you can purchase. Moon Kart packs are called Centauri. Doesn't look like allot sold in the months they were available. I don't have much info on the game other than what I shared in my post. I still got allot of researching to do myself. Personally I might purchase a pack just to see the opening process and make a post out of it so others can see the process. Might be best to explore the marketplace first, pick up what-ever affordable items are needed to play, test the game and then decide. I also have no clue the size of the player base either. I have yet to purchase anything but I do plan on giving the game a try when I have time to.

Hey there, the Bilpcoin team just wanted to give you a virtual high-five we manually curated this post.

Their attempts to intimidate and silence their critics are equally concerning. The use of downvotes as a means of censorship is a clear indication of their desperation to maintain their grip on the narrative. But it's not working

The Hive community has been plagued by a rise in spam accounts sharing stolen content. Many of these accounts appear to be linked to a single super farm that we've exposed @memesandstuff superfarm and we believe a prominent whale may be behind it

A Call to Action Against Downvote Abuse on Hive

Bad downvotes on Hive are a growing concern that must be addressed. These downvotes not only discourage users from sharing their real thoughts and ideas but also damage the community as a whole, we see many walk away

https://peakd.com/@buildawhale/activities

https://peakd.com/@themarkymark/activities
https://peakd.com/@usainvote/activities

https://peakd.com/@adm/activities

The Buildawhale farm scam has been a topic of concern for us, and we've exposed it. However, despite our attempts to bring attention to this issue, it seems that no concrete actions have been taken to address it. This lack of response is puzzling

Let's discuss a more serious issue that affects all on Hive. The prevalence of bad downvotes on Hive is a major concern, and we urge you to speak up if you've been affected by it. Don't be afraid to share your experiences speak up
