Holo healers!
A lot has been going on in the zingverse the past month. Amazing activity and contributions in our
Zingtober event that officially concluded recently. We'll be taking some time to look through all the entries properly and placing some of the best contributions in terms of innovation, artwork, style and consistency for our winning list. Along with giving all valid entries that fit our criteria achievement points for the 2024 Zingtober Achievement which the winning artist will have the pleasure of creating themselves!
Take some well-deserved rest for now, artists and thank you again for filling our community with amazing contributions during this event!
We also launched our Alpha Vials for sale last month, our official 2nd method of funding the project which started with a real bang!
Over 800 vials sold in under 2 weeks! To put that into perspective, that's almost 50% of our total marketcap in value before vials went live for sale, although the Vial announcement made for some new value flowing into our ecosystem and placing the zing value to $100k for a while as well!
That's great to see and has helped the project catch up on some backpay for the team and other expenses and we are ever so excited for our game to release in alpha and for everyone to get some sneak peeks into it while we focus on balancing and fine-tuning the looks of it while smashing bugs!
Talking about bugs, it's time to reveal some new creatures that'll enter our roster!
Do mind that these 2d versions of revealed creatures aren't polished yet as we've had to shift funding focus for the time being towards game dev. If you see some inconsistencies in quality/artwork it might be due to that.
Meet Cinella, a ladybug that'll be quick and agile while focusing on slowing down its opponents and decreasing their hit chance as if it wasn't hard enough to hit such a small bug to begin with!
Its evolved form, Cinelara will allow it to fly and learn flying abilities along with becoming more agile and hitting a bit harder with normal-type moves and further bug-type moves that'll keep opponents slowed.
Now we'll be moving into a new type of creature we haven't seen too much of yet in Holozing aside from the one dragon-type, ground-type!
Meet Glimmo, our first turtoise creature in our roster. Glimmo will focus on having a solid defense while also being quick on its feet with higher a critical chance! It'll also use its surroundings to generate attacks that'll make it harder for enemies to hit it by throwing sand at its opponent.
Its evolved form Gemino is an absolute unit focusing on defense and making enemy opponents attacks recoil by attempting to turn its back towards incoming attacks to only hit its tough crystals and deflect damage. While its attacks may not be as hard-hitting, its recoil will be one of the first moves that can make enemy creatures bleed some extra damage over many turns.
As some of our healers may know, our creatures will also come in the form of Holomax and Radiant versions of themselves, we're excited to announce them to our previous reveals. For the creatures above we have some awesome plans to make the radiant version of Cinella and Cinelara in gold-form, while Glimmo and Gemino will get a darker skin and of course holomax means the crystals will come in our vibrant holo-colors to really stand out for the healers who manage to capture the high rarity versions or level them up towards it!
Achievements
We also released
two new achievements last month and along with the Zingtober achievement we have another one in the making to release for our players soon.
