This Week in Crypto Games: 'Hamster Kombat' and 'Catizen' Delay Airdrops as 'Notcoin' Launches New Game
The crypto and NFT gaming space is bustling with activity, and Decrypt’s GG is here to keep you updated with the latest news. Here’s a roundup of this week’s biggest developments in crypto and NFT gaming:
New Notcoin Game Launch:
Notcoin and Lost Dogs Collaboration: Notcoin has partnered with The Open Network (TON) NFT project Lost Dogs to launch a story-driven game. In this game, players will vote on decisions that shape a six-week-long narrative involving characters from the Lost Dogs NFT collection, who will gain special powers and become “celebrities.”
Earning Tokens: Players can earn Notcoin tokens and a new in-game token called WOOF by interacting with squads, inviting new players, and developing strategies. This follows the recent announcement of Notcoin’s “fresh start” with Lost Dogs artwork.
Hamster Kombat Airdrop Delay:
Launch Postponed: The tap-to-earn game Hamster Kombat, which planned to launch its token on TON in July, has delayed its token generation event (TGE) and airdrop. The team is still finalizing plans for the large-scale airdrop.
Milestone Achievement: Despite the delay, the game reached 300 million players, as announced by the developers on Twitter. The roadmap indicates that the airdrop is still in the “upcoming” section.
Catizen Airdrop Delay:
Charity Controversy: Catizen, another Telegram-based game, delayed its token launch due to feedback regarding a $100,000 donation to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA has faced criticism for euthanizing animals in its shelters, prompting community backlash.
Suspended Collaboration: The developers, Pluto Studio, have temporarily suspended the collaboration with PETA and are addressing challenges encountered during planning. No new launch date for the TON-based token has been announced.
Key Takeaways:
Busy Week for Crypto Games: The crypto and NFT gaming space is seeing a lot of activity, with new game releases, token airdrops, and strategic collaborations.
Community Feedback Matters: The delays in airdrop events for Hamster Kombat and Catizen highlight the importance of community feedback and the challenges developers face in navigating these issues.
Notcoin’s New Game: The collaboration between Notcoin and Lost Dogs brings a fresh, interactive gaming experience to the community, emphasizing player participation and decision-making.
