🚨 Chapter 2 is now live 🚨

We can’t believe it’s time for Chapter 2! We’ve been building with you for more than two years and everything we have learned together along the way made this launch possible.

Chapter 2 is all about making Pixels more fun to play while introducing new systems for the game’s sustainability.

The game might look familiar at first, but when you peel back the layers you’ll discover a whole new game. Chapter 2 is all about progression! Not only is the game more fun but there is a lot more to do in between levels to make the game your own.

Pixels is already the biggest Web3 gaming company, now it is time to scale to become the biggest gaming company. Here’s to the next chapter, the next 10 million players, and to you!

🚨 Last update before Chapter 2! Here's what's in it...

GUILD ROLES CAN NOW BE ASSIGNED 🤗

WHAT’S IN THIS UPDATE:

Guild leaders can now assign roles to Guild members! 🎉

Here’s how it works:

1. Obtain a Shard: To join a Guild, a user needs to acquire a Shard from the Guild they are interested in. More information on this below!

2. Pledge Your Shards: The user must pledge their Shards to the Guild. This step signifies their commitment, as a user can only pledge to one Guild.

3. Role Assignment: After pledging, Guild Owners and Admins can assign roles to the user: Admin, Worker, or Member. Note that the Supporter role is for those who own a Shard but haven’t been formally accepted into the guild by a leader or admin.

If a land is associated to a Guild, the Landowner can define which role has access to what. For example, the land in the image below can only be accessed by Guild Members, Workers, Admins and Leaders.

EVERYTHING ABOUT GUILDS:
What is a Guild?
Guilds in Pixels are a new way for players to come together in gameplay, competing for in-game resources and territory. You can think of them as sub-communities within the greater Pixels community.

There are now 5 roles associated with a Guild: Supporter, Worker, Member, Admin and Owner. Guild Owners and Admins can decide who gets what role, and be in charge of their own governance.

What’s coming:
In a future update, Guilds will also have their own Task Board. Users will have to work together to complete these tasks as they will be much harder than the current individual-based taskboard.

Additionally, Discoverable and Contestable Lands will be introduced in future updates that guilds can discover and compete over. Stay tuned for more details!

Guild Shards:
What is a Shard?
Owning a Shard is your way of supporting a Guild. The Supporter role is given to all members who buy a Guild Shard.

Guild Shard prices follow a bonding curve. Guild Shard prices are set by a bonding curve, meaning as more Shards are purchased, their price goes up. For instance, the first Shard costs 1 $PIXEL , and the price increases by 1 $PIXEL with each purchase. Conversely, if a Shard's current price is 10 $PIXEL , selling it will get you 10 $PIXEL and drop the next price to 9 $PIXEL .

How to purchase a Shard:
To buy a Guild Shard, sign up for a Guild's Request List. This allows guild leaders to view your request and potentially give you a whitelist. Once you're on the whitelist, you'll have the ability to buy Shards for that Guild.

Guild Leaders: the WL feature is optional. If turned off, anyone can purchase your Guild’s Shards.

How to sell a Shard:
To sell a Shard, go to the related Guild's page, where you'll find the option to sell it.

$PIXEL & GUILDS:
Shard purchases:
When you buy Shards with $PIXEL , the currency is locked into the Shard's value. Selling the Shard unlocks the $PIXEL . When you buy a Shard, there is a 10% fee: half goes to Guild Leaders and the other half to the Community Treasury.

Guild Leader’s cut:
As said above, 5% of the buy price goes to the Guild Leaders. It is up to the Guild to decide how to allocate these funds.

HOW TO CHOOSE A GUILD:
What kind of player are you?
Are you interested in community building? Being part of a large community or a small one? What kind of gameplay are you interested in? What are your goals?

Your answers to these questions are key in finding a Guild that aligns with your interests. Then, join our Discord, ask around, and meet new people to get a feel for what works best for you!

Farm Land Associations:
Landowners can associate their NFT Farm Land to a Guild. These associations will be important in future Chapter 2 gameplay. NFT Farm Lands will provide access to higher-tiered resources. Guilds can restrict access to their lands, allowing only members entry. These associations are shown on the Guild's dashboard page.
