Mobile MiniGames: Play & Earn | News & Progress Report April 2023

I continue to play and grind my way up in the Mobile Blockchain NFT Play2Earn Game Mobile MiniGames while keeping up with the development. This is a monthly update and how things are going along with the personal progress I'm making...


Development Updates

Last month a lot happened but at the same time not much at all. What this comes down to is that the overall vision of the main dev remains unchanged meaning 100% is bet on the ROAS (Returns on Advertisement) with an eye on bringing back the 10$ DUBI Buy wall all at once in the future when they can, funded mostly by the money they potentially will make from other projects. The main dev also right now is putting all his focus on AI while the team is still improving the game which seems to go at a much slower pace compared to where it used to be.

There Discord Community called CoS Pro's where the Bigger Investors / Whale Players / Big Community Leaders / & some team Members & Devs are grouped uo however really started to get fed up with a lot of basic aspects that were just completely being neglected. So a survey was done with many things we like to see changed, improved, and implemented which was delivered to Athene. While the game fundamentally is in a good state, when it comes down to pumpamentals, general exposure, community, token prices, social media activity, general communication, game updates, ... it has been a complete amateur nightmare which highly frustrates nearly everyone who is invested in one way or another. This was needed to finally get an update stream (Link) outlining the current direction.

This kind of cleared the fear that we are getting screwed over and scammed while at the same time didn't really bring an outlook of any improvements anytime soon. At this point the best case scenario is crypto to get back in a real bull run which spikes interest in Play2Earn gaming and makes running ads profitable again and them being able to sell the hotreload.net they are running to Unity for a couple million or the new customaisolutions.io they offer to bring in some bigger clients to bring back the buy wall somewhere next year at best.

While I personally understand the direction and approach where they have limited resources, I would do things differently similar to how things were suggested in the survey from the CoS Pro's Discord.

Right now for outsiders who look into the game and the tokens, they look totally dead. Changing the name 3 times just in the hope to get 1% better ROAS did a lot more harm than good.

  • Change the name back to Mobile MiniGames. The change to Athene AI Heroes is just stupid and almost as bad as a name as Clash Of Selfies which at some point they wanted to name the game. I get that it gets more people that come across the AI stream to click and install but the cost of confusion and damage it does to the brand recognition is not worth it.

  • Bring Regular Updates on Social Media. Right now there is zero activity on Social Media which makes the game look dead and discourages everyone in the community to write, talk or make videos about the game. Just a weekly update post with what is going on already would do a lot. I saw there were intentions to have automated posts on PRPS/DUBI burns which would be a nice start.

  • Fix Coinmarketcap / Coingecko Listings & Charts. Literally, every meme shitcoin is able to easily get a listing with a proper chart on Coinmarketcap yet after 2+ year PRPS & DUBI look like a complete dead shitcoin because of the token split way back. And all this wile for the longest time, Athene claimed that investors only care about 'chart going up' and PRPS was going to be a stable coin that only went up due to the token dynamics.

  • Start Chipping away at PRPS/DUBI Prices. The promise of bringing back the 10$ buy-wall at some point more feels like a way to stall instead of a realistic option. At least athene understand that they need 5 to 10 Million as everyone is going to dump into it rightfully so. Everyone in the CoS Discord agrees that they should start buying back tokens with profit they make after covering their costs now already at market prices which is just a way more realistic and cheaper plan to restore things over time.

  • Liquidity Pool Provider Incentives. the 15k liquidity pool is still a complete joke and it should not be that hard or require that many resources to have some kind of reward program in order to boost liquidity

  • ... There are so many other things that can be done to get back some momentum that don't take up major resources and gets the community going again. Right now everyone kind of is accepting the situation but as time passes by and especially if the crypto market would get hot again it's just a matter of time for frustrations to grow and there to be another uproar as the crypto aspect of the game continues to be totally neglected.

Conclusion: The game is not dead by any means but no changes can be expected anytime soon as the plan remains to bet everything one ROAS and to bring the Buy-Wall back at once in best case somewhere next year. At the same time, this can be said since the start of the game and we are now over 2 years further with everything only having gone down the drain.


New Game Updates

After months of downtime, it's now finally possible again to use PRPS & DUBI in the game to export stuff. That was the only real change made to the game this past month and nobody really knows what is next.


PRPS & DUBI Update

The tokens are still in the same situation as they are totally neglected aside from the fact that they give a massive discount in the game to buy deals. These tokens get burned and there has been an increase in this lately. A total of roughly 85k PRPS has been burned this way which doesn't include PRPS that was burned by locking it somehow. This still is only 1.2% of all tokens in circulation and 0.57% of the total supply so it's not moving the needle yet.

Potentially, right now could be the time many in the future could look back on as the one of the best times to build your account and get assets in the game.

(*** Naively assuming Buy-Wall will be put up again as it has been down for 8 months now with the gap growing to a point where it's not realistic to come back anytime soon)


These are the Token Contracts

PRPS (Polygon): 0x972999c58BbcE63a2e398d4ED3Bde414b8349eB3
DUBI (Polygon): 0x950e1561B7A7dEB1A32A6419FD435410daf851B0

a full overview of on-chain activity can be found on prps.moe

  • PRPS Level 270: 1.13$ [Last Month 0.99$]
  • DUBI Price: 2.21$ [Last Month 1.98$]

Right now there is no reason for prices to go up as the demand isn't there and it's mostly a patience game anticipating for the team to put the buy-wall back at some point.


Personal Clash Of Streamers Game Progress

I'm still playing daily trying to increase my passive Crypton earnings and building my community in anticipation for the game get back into player expansion when the problems are fixed and advertisement starts again.

I'm close to reaching Level 300 and I just continue to reinvest what I earn mostly by exporting Exclusive skins as those keep their crypton generation power while they can be sold later down the line. While it's hard to actually promote the game right now, anyone who wants to understand how to potentially earn should check this article (Link).

Conclusion

It still kind of sucks to be a Mobile MiniGames player right now as the neglect toward the game and the economy isn't close to coming to an end anytime soon from what it looks like. Long-term however, I still have good faith that the buy wall at some point will be back which should lift all prices and earnings to a level where it was worth to keep going during these hard times.
