Summer 2022 event
Posted on July 19th, 2022
The hottest place to be in 2022
Introduction
Hey there, It’s been about a months since the last blog post and in that time we’ve been hard at work making BitWorld, specifically the mountains and the backlog of bugs and features we’ve had for quite some time now.
But the biggest thing we’ve been working on is the Summer 2022 event.
Yes that’s right, BitWorld is having it’s first event since the demo launched.
Lets go over the structure of this event and some new things coming this patch.
Land ahoy!
In this event you’ll visit Farfair Island, a small island removed from the mainland.
You’ll be able to go to this island as soon as you complete the tutorial.
On this island you’ll be able to enjoy diverse scenery and help the locals prepare for their upcoming festival, you’ll also be given a boat to traverse the waters around the island. You’ll encounter some familiar monsters looking to take some time off as well as some new monsters.
Finding the balance for events
When exploring the island, doing quests or killing enemies you’ll stumble upon tokens, these tokens can be traded in to get cosmetics, emotes or items.
By using tokens instead of traditional reward systems players will start working towards the rewards as soon as they step upon the island, not only that but they’ll also be able to prioritize the rewards they want to get, of course you’ll be able to obtain rewards outside of the token shop for completing quests or beating bosses, but the main rewards lie within the shop.
We plan on keeping the token system with future events, we’ll need to tweak the prices and rewards to avoid month long grindfest to get every cosmetic or even worse, a single cosmetic. We’d love to hear your feedback regarding this system so we can finetune it to perfection.
BitWorld, but now with added bling
As mentioned in this blogpost, BitWorld now has cosmetics!
There are 4 cosmetic slots: Helmet, Mask, Body and Hair.
There are also 2 types of dyes, one for hair and one for armor, you can use these to customize your equipment even more!
You can change your appearance at mirrors scattered around the world so each player can stay dripped out wherever they go.
That was about everything that I wanted to share for today, we will keep working on BitWorld to make sure the final game will be in your hands as soon as possible.
Oh and one more thing, all cosmetics unlocked through this event will carry over to the BitWorld release, this includes: dyes, cosmetics and emotes.
Catch the lightning
