SteemNova 2 proposals

Emperors! A new era is coming in the world of SteemNova, which we want to write about.

Remember that these are only proposals and I would like you to comment on them :-)

Big Bang Theory

Strategy online games have a problem - it's hard to start playing at some point. When you try to grow, other players start powerful galactic battles.

Unfortunately, we can't change it. We believe, however, that restarting the server will allow you to start exploring space from scratch.

It will increase adrenaline while playing.
Players who used bugs in SteemNova won't be able to use them because they're fixed.
It will be possible to create a new economy in the game.

New design

@sarmaticus has been working on SteemNova's new look for several weeks now. For this he uses new solutions that make it much more enjoyable to play the game on a small screen.

Tokens and Economy

You got Steem or Steem Dollars for playing SteemNova. It wasn't a big amount, because SteemNova is a free2play game.

However, we want to make people feel part of the community.

We have been thinking about creating a token on one of Steem platforms (Steem-Engine) for a long time. Of course, it may seem like a token like a token, nothing interesting.

We want our tokens (which you will receive for playing) to be able to buy various things:

Games on DGameShop (maybe on DGameMarket too, but we don't guarantee it)
Using in our projects (we are in an advanced stage of creating a browser game)
We are also thinking about improving your SteemNova account for tokens, for example:

Buying temporary improvements
Exchange for resources (Metal, Crystal, Deuterium, Dark Matter).

Buy ads on SteemNova, DGameShop / DGameMarket, HelloBot etc. (concept).

Of course, good players will get tokens for free, just like Steem and SBD now.

Steem Keychain?

One of the developers proposed to add support for Steem Keychain - a login tool. I think it's a good idea.

The events

We also want to introduce various types of events and anomalies from time to time. For example, a planet will appear in some solar system, you need to locate it and destroy the defense, for which the reward will be tokens / Steem / SBD.

The plan can also assume negative scenarios - due to the supernova explosion, half of the ships on the planets are destroyed.

Reduction/removal of free dark matter

Some people complained that obtaining DM in the game is too easy - just wait. In Ogame you can buy it or get it from exploration.

Some people suggest that it should be the same in SteemNova. Sell Dark Matter for tokens or from get for free from exploration.

Statistics

Applications such as Steem Apps show statistics on the use of applications on Steem. Unfortunately SteemNova although it is an active game does not send data to blockchain.

Converting the game to blockchain Steem is difficult and has drawbacks (e.g. long waiting time for transactions - in Nextcolony it's hard to send the fleet in 30 seconds).

But we can store different data, active users and so on. This will allow us to obtain current statistics from the game.

Support for new players

Catching up with the players is a difficult challenge. We want to introduce a system that will make it possible to catch up with players faster by providing them with more resources and dark matter to start.

For example, in the first week of the game you will get 500 metal and 500 crystal, but if you start playing after a month you will get 600 metal and crystal.

I hope I haven't forgotten anything. Remember that these are only proposals that we would like to implement, but we want to know your opinion.

Late reply but I'm good either way. New interface looks cool 👍
@markoslaw(54)· 2608d
I agree for restart only if ALL gameplay bugs will be fixed. Otherwise there is no point to do it. I am not going to play...
@arcange(79)· 2610d
Congratulations @intintedao! Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade for newcomers in the following categories:

- Pending payout - Ranked 4 with $ 5,49
I also upvoted your post to increase its reward If you like my work to promote newcomers and give them more visibility on the Steem blockchain, consider to vote for my witness!
@kriptonik(60)· 2610d
I like the direction. But separating the players, aka more playable uni, this will be a bad decision, we saw it not only the Ogame, but all of the gameforge games.
@alinalazareva(69)· 2610d
The design in this game will not solve anything. For no difference when I started to play in the game, there is initially a novice protection.
@potplucker(53)· 2610d
Its hard to defend the slow death of the game as it is now. It needs the new blood of active users. Still I would be bummed to lose all the growth that has been made in exchange for a game reboot with some new features. I never played OGame. Did read that they had a reputation system the put a stiff penalty for the huge well developed to attack small new forming accounts. idk sounds like some time and effort has be put into the replacement. Addition of private token is the way most seem to be going. That should be interesting. Best of luck switching to the new and improved.
@sarmaticus(62)· 2610d
Hmm,

has been working on SteemNova's new look for several weeks now.

That's a little too big words ;) I am self-learning about divs, and code and else by trying to made Steemnova interface a little more useable especially on smaller screens. this is how login page looks right now on my phone for example:

But dont think that i am a programer or that i am "dev" of the Steemnova2" :P

OK, so lets talk about SN2. First I would like to talk about 2 simultaneous Uni, as a lot of comments here talk about it. In my opinion it would be extremely bad idea. Maybe we should make poll about it, i dont know, but really it is the worst thing we could do. I understand that some ppl want to continue with their empire that was started, but, this will dived players base and make game less fun. What is more, it would be harder to have rewards for two Unis. What is even more, more is that it would be harder for devs to control and react for problems with 2 unis. Remember that this was never comerrcial projects, and devs didn't earn anything on this game (well maybe some upvotes from posts heh). Please lets abond this idea, and lets make one great Univers with new, better Steemnova.

About changes.

Restart is good, but not enough, I think, that the best change we could do for game is to install in it some trigger that would eventually shot down Universe. in chat with @mys he proposed that we should add new special very expensive building that when it will be finished it will end the game. This should also be made with change of the reward system. The main reward should be for player, and his alliance who will build this. I in the other hand thought about something more dramatically like special event triggered by detecting that there are for example more than 50 Death Stars in the game. The event would mean that there will be deployed a massive alien fleet. And players have to choose if they wont to defend this fleet or to fight with it. Fighting and winning would mean that the Uni is still active (and waiting for next trigger for example with 200 DS), defending it and winning would mean that the Uni stops. In this case, there is no need to change the way of rewarding ppl. But i like more Mys idea. either way we need to make game have "seasons", so there will never be again problem with endgame time when fleets of thousands DS are flying in universe what is absurd, and IMO not very fun, at least for most players, also it would give better chance to have a chance to earn 1st reward.

Lets go to the Tokens thing. I dont understand it clearly. Or maybe we dont have many details here :P so i dont know. Why pay and earn in new token instead of steem? I was thinking some time ago that it would be fun if we would make DM a token, and it would work similarly to token that was implement into the SteemMonsters game. It can be named like you want :P just making new tokens to buy DM is hm waste of time? Just convert DM into token! :P BUT to make this happen and have some logic, for me at least, we should introduce more changes in the game itself. So the token should be used to buy resources, IMO it would destroy ingame balance. It should be used only for buying "chest". The chest would give us some random cards that would be used to activate and upgrade our officers (so also boosts). Cards should be users property and it should be written on the blockchain. There should be like it is in SM, possibility to convert cards into DM. Buying temporary boost with DM would be ok I think. Of course it would be great if with DM (or how else we name it) we could buy in some shops, or in other games, I support this very much :P And: "good player will get token for free, i am against it." DM should be or bought on the market, or earn with exploration system (like it is earn in SM with fightings), maybe with fewer numbers, and even less probability then it is now. It could lead to bot abuse if we would give token for "good players". Explorations also can be abused by bot farms, but with bot farms we need to handle either way. With bot abusing ranking i mean that greed will lead that ppl instead of playing for fun will made bots that will play for them just to earn something, it would kill a lot of fun in game.

Steem Keychain - great, but not instead of steemconect. You cant use steemkeychain on the mobile phone.

Events are great, but I suppose that they will be menage more or less by human, are you prepared for that? :> :P

Statistics - great, but keeping some useful data on the blockchain is not enough in my opinion. We should really make this cards :P

Support for new players - good, but i think more important for new players would some guide which will show new ppl how to play this game and what they should do, and this "tutorial" should contain some rewards system (DM and resources), like it is in all nowadays games.

OF COURSE i know that this is easy to write about everything, but not so easy to make such changes. BUT if we really want SN2, we should make this properly, so we won't have to make SN3 in next year :P But maybe my thinking is wrong, and we should improve what we can now, and next things we will change when the right time comes ;)

@jeyf123(69)· 2611d
great ideas, but iam not happy if the game restarts and all have to begin again
@cyemela(65)· 2611d
Like the idea of two games, SteemNova 1 and 2. Or maybe let everyone carry over their setup to the new game. Lots of work building an Empire and still new here. It would be too much for me to continue playing if my current Empire were destroyed.
@rkcreative(47)· 2611d
big news !
@thehive(70)· 2611d
I might start playing again, if the server restarted.
@deanlogic(64)· 2611d

We also want to introduce various types of events and anomalies from time to time.

I like the idea of missions for earning tokens and making things interesting for little players who would get obliterated if they attacked a larger team/player.
@jeanpi1908(65)· 2611d
I am really exited for this steemnova 2.0

Let there be 2 games at once, the old SteemNova and the new SteemNova (SteemNova 2).
@novacadian(65)· 2611d
Great to see more game development on The Chain. 😎
@nutritree(55)· 2611d
You could just use the battle token. I look forward to small screen improvements.

@cahlen(74)· 2611d
I'd be fine with starting over on a new server as long as the old server stayed up.
@nutritree(55)· 2611d
You are talking about creating a new universe. I am not against it but the current universe is still very young where many improvements can be made. I see times off on my reports and bad grammar would be a good start.

There are so many large inactive players that I recently started and grew a big fleet in a short period of time. Sure, there are some big players but if a new player knows how to fleet save and doesnt make enemies then they will be fine.
