2021 has been quite a wild ride for Hexarchia. We started from a team of just four founders with a mission in mind to create a fun and addictive blockchain game for chess and strategy lovers and we became a global community of players with strong passion and a common goal: to make Hexarchia a game with no expiration date.
Although it’s not possible in a single article to wrap up everything that is happened in the past 12 months, let’s have a look at the main events that characterized our 2021.
April
In April 2021 Overdroid, the company behind Hexarchia, became the first Italian startup to develop a blockchain videogame.
This title comes with great honor and responsibility.
May
In May 2021 we launched our first Genensis NFT Giveway, the largest to-date. 100 Commanders were awarded 100 Genesis NFTs (10 Legendary, 30 Epic and 60 Classic) for their support.
June
In June 2021 we reached our first community milestones: 1000 followers on Twitter, 2000 newsletter subscribers and 500 Instagram followers.
Many of these early Commanders are still with us and we are immensely proud of them.
July
In July 2021 we were invited to attend the Ethereum Community Conference as speakers. It was the first international event attended by Hexarchia as a team and it was a great opportunity to get exposed to the crypto and NFT community.
Looking forward to be there in 2022.
August
In August 2021 we minted the Genesis collection, the first set of weapons of Hexarchia, on the Polygon blockchain. These NFTs will be playable in-game starting from the Beta and will largely affect play-to-earn mechanics.
What’s your favourite one?
September
In September 2021 we establised our first partnerships with The Metakey, Bankless DAO, Yield Guild Games and UNIX PlayToEarn.
Looking forward to do more with our partners in 2022 and establish new ones as well.
October
October 2021 was the month of the Hexarchia Warlords Pre-Sale. The Warlords are utility-tokens needed to enter the play2earn version of the game coming with the Beta in 2022.
They are usable already in the Closed Alpha, enjoy your time playing with them!
November
In November 2021 we were admitted to Cinecittà Game Hub Acceleration program, a prestigiuos mentoring program organized by Cinecittà S.P.A (the home of Italiam movie masterpieces), Sony/Play Station Network, Epic Games/Unreal Engine and ACER.
December
In December 2021 we launched the first playable version of the game, the Closed Alpha, where to earn NFT rewards. The best players of the week get Genesis NFTs for their ability to play the game.
This is only the beginning, let’s go Commanders!
What’s coming in 2022?
2022 will be a massively important year for Hexarchia. A detailed upgrade of our roadmap on the whitepaper will be shared soon, here you can find some of the main developments that the core team is already working on:
- Full tokenomics implementation.
- Beta and final game for PC release.
- Hiring new talent (Blockchain and web developer, game programmer, 3D artist and illustrator).
- Full website revamp with a more web 3.0 friendly experience.
- New partnerships and much more to be revealed,
Enjoy the end of the year with your friends and loved ones.
The Hexarchia Team wishes all of you an Happy New Year!
