When will Influence's TestNet launch?!

Test Influence, have some fun, earn some SWAY

Introduction

Over the last several months, the team has been heads down, cranking away on moving Influence from its original home Ethereum to its new forever home, StarkNet. This has been a long journey with plenty of twists and turns, but we are happy to announce that the journey has been completed and everything from here on out will be built on top of StarkNet.

Why StarkNet?…Because it will allow for Influence to scale with the community and support thousands upon thousands of players at a single time within the game client.

But enough about technology and the developers (even though they are incredible and all their hard work is greatly appreciated)…

You are here because you are a fan of Influence, or maybe a friend told you that you needed to check out this new hip “Blockchain Game”.

Well, the wait is nearly over!

Prepare for launch!

The date is fast approaching and we want to ensure EVERYONE is well prepared and has the resources to be ready to test out Influence.

The previous article discussed what’s in store for Influence’s TestNet launch coming August 29th.

However, let’s give a brief recap…

TestNet Features:

• Bridging assets between Layer 1 and Layer 2

• Minting asteroids on Layer 2 (StarkNet)

• Adalian recruitment (creating new Crewmates)

• Crew management User Interface

  • Slotting in crewmates

  • Assigning a captain

  • Inspecting details/roles/jobs

Final Notes:

1. If you are brand new to the blockchain you may want to skip over the bridging of assets within the test client, as this is likely going to require some additional effort and education.

2. Remember, that the event starting August 29th is within a test network. This network is known for occasionally being fairly slow, and with the number of users, we anticipate on the first day we ask you to kindly be patient with it. This is out of the team’s hands.

3. If you’d like to provide feedback please join Discord and utilize the #feedback channel.

Have fun, play around, and thank you for participating!
