----- You thought we were slacking, didn't you?? 😎 Among all the other things, we have been working on PVP for the past few months and we *(intentionally)* barely published any sneak peeks. But now it's the time to start getting you excited... 🔥 #### WEN LAUNCH? - PRIVATE ALPHA TESTING with a group of hardcore fans -> `THIS FRIDAY` - GATED ALPHA LAUNCH -> we are currently on track for the `MAY 31ST` 🙌 #### At what stage we're at...
- `HIVE LOGIN` integrated into the PVP game. ![pvp__web.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cryptoshots.nft/EoncpNH2g8VVXatpe6ruByh4xjtE3gRgPdGpLD5ghAJRh4rjYwZ8gcoUhP6ouyPcWRA.gif) - `GRAPHICS OPTIMIZATIONS` - adjust your settings based on your device performance _{Since it's a browser game, by the default the game will start with the lowest graphics in order to allow players with old machines to run the game smoothly. If you have a more modern machine, you can maximize graphics for your best gaming experience:} ![settings.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cryptoshots.nft/23t74yPCzSn4nXwZ7ffj7jTj6y6n24XGzXbkaRNoEQjEpmJGUdRjMjNCT3roKBvKz8Gc4.gif) - MATCHMAKING & `TEAM DEATH MATCH` game mode We currently support up to 8 players per room. If some players are missing, bot enemies are enabled.

_{(Spectator mode is still being worked on)}

- `MATCH LEADERBOARD` ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cryptoshots.nft/Eo44icStBwqz8CepyUsQbmXRYXFzK2b6pawj2nPkoCvUksRV2x89FvCNAvJrPvNpvvg.png)

- `MATCH RESULT` ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cryptoshots.nft/23tkfguMTXm6aHsekUKX2oSonKhJzzNrYyZNP5wWJXDttsBWNy9MrVzRCBubd18rWqaSt.png)
----- ### How to play? https://play.crypto-shots.com _{=> PlayAndEarn PVE game already available, PVP coming next!} **NO DOWNLOAD REQUIRED**. This is a browser game. PROS of this strategic choice:
- Much broader audience. It's easy for us to go cross-platform (mobile and VR) without having to rewrite the game.
- We don't have to feel the pressure of [games like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvrRCBlTmDE) with near real-life graphics. Good luck running that on a browser 😛
- you can't compromise your machine as it [often happens with downloadable games](https://www.beyondidentity.com/blog/getting-hacked-through-video-game). Browser game are sandboxed to your browser, [which is much more safe](https://superuser.com/questions/1366768/can-a-malicious-website-access-the-contents-of-files-on-a-computer). ----- ### NFTs and tokens The game is already connected to the Hive blockchain, thanks to all the work that we did for PVE. As you can see in the first gif, Hive users don't need to pay $FOOD and $GAS to play. That will be the case until our Spaceships (aka land) will launch on Hive too.
_{Note that the FOOD and GAS payment will NEVER be mandatory. Doing so only unlocks your full earning potential.}
HOW TO ACCESS THE ALPHA? Once we launch it towards the end of the month, and until we release the public beta, to play early you'll need to have both our Hive shields! (force fields) *{ no other requirements and the game will be free-to-play too once in beta }*
_{All our previous weapons have been modified to allow us to create amazing animations for PVP.} ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cryptoshots.nft/23t7B7YS9Po5QNuonHLfHNuYQu1eYGuW51GP9MweGJpoRpjPRUbd2JrFnwam16CkJC734.jpg)

Please note that in the images above and in Friday's alpha testing we are using placeholder characters and weapons. Once in BETA...
- PVP will use the Characters and Weapons NFT already on the [secondary market](https://hive.crypto-shots.com) (we're not a money-grab game and we want to reward previous buyers).

- PVP will adopt the same travel mechanics (land) and the same maps (land) in use in PVE. Our 4th map is already being worked on! And [Hive Lands are launching this month](https://peakd.com/hive-190697/@cryptoshots.nft/land-sale-on-may-29th-map-parts)!

![ezgif.com-video-to-gif(1).gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cryptoshots.nft/23t74xqzUyXKvFdrUywYb1LNZXrB8S7xgWznk1nHmcgPqCmMYpiipbzqqAEYfiMwywSxx.gif)

- PVP will issue our token [$DOOM](https://hive-engine.com/trade/DOOM) as gaming reward! 🪙 🪙 🪙 _{*(NFTs required to earn gaming rewards)*}

What are going to be the new NFTs for PVP? Skins for weapons and characters! Ready to brag about yours? 😎 🔥
