Hanoi, Vietnam, Feb 18, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Recently, Heroesoft Inc, an experienced development company, start an exciting whole new NFT game. It is the first MMO RTS game ever in the market, bringing A New Concept of Earning in the Blockchain World. That new approach promises to bring multiple profits, even triple than usual GameFi.

Enjoy unique gaming experiences while earning multiple profits

NFT games in the past 2 years are no longer strangers to the Trader & Investors community, but there are too few games on the market accessible to genuine Gamers. Because most of the original NFT games only attracted players who wanted to "make quick money", the plot and gameplay did not catch much attention from real players. Heroes of the Land brings back the memories of old traditional legendary games in the market such as army building, territory expansion, defense, protecting resources like Heroes of Might, Magic 3, Rise of Kingdoms,...

More than just investing and making money, the structure of this product is also a great bridge linking the development of quality real-time strategy games and increasing the experience for the NFT series. Promising in the future, it will change the prejudice about NFT gameplay and appeal to gamers that are more traditional.

Realistic 3D graphics NFT game - Heroes of the Land has high tactical and political value, simulates a practical economic model, bringing a new concept of earning in the Blockchain world. For the first time, one GameFi has three characters for three separate roles, as they have three ways to play to earn so that players can get triple profits than usual.

Unique Game Play experience throughout the game

The special feature of Heroes of the Land is that players can experience gameplay throughout the game with different game battle modes, like many strategy games before, that is PvP, PvE, MMO: Clan vs. Clan, Tournament/Guild.

In addition, players can also choose other features such as launching a war to expand territory, summoning new heroes, upgrading heroes & lands statistics, land conquering, construction building, farming & hunting.

According to Nhan Nguyen, CEO & Co-founder of Heroesoft: "I have been always enjoyed my spare time playing Rise Of Kingdoms. Many of my friends have been fans of this old-school game too. Sometimes, I looked around and thought: "Why don't I bring this billion revenue game model to the NFT world?" Then the next day, I gathered some of my old friends and my talented team as software developers, senior designers, game publishing managers,... I shared the idea of the project. We had to make an MMO RTS build on the blockchain"

The beta test will be released in Q2-2022. Heroes of the Land is available to play on many platforms: computers, tablets, Android, and IOS.

A New Concept of Earning in Blockchain world

As you can see, casual and basic mobile games have been becoming more mainstream, players spend hours binge-tapping on the phone screen playing Candy Crush Saga or PUBG but they are not able to earn money from it. Meanwhile, other players choose the concept "Play-to-earn" which has grown in popularity in the last 2 years. With that model, not only to play, players can get income as a full-time job during Covid-19 times.

Heroes of the Land promises to meet all different audiences' requirements to participate in this game. Through their monetization for 3 characters, those audiences can earn real money in many ways that fit their demand and ability:

At first, Free Players may fully immerse themselves in the role of Worker. Those players are known as having entry barriers that have little capital or do not want to invest in the game right from the beginning. With Heroes of the Land, they can freely mine resources in-game such as gold, wood, and stone to start earning. Then when they want to earn more, they can upgrade their skills, use resources to craft and sell NFT items to Invest-gamers (mean the Hero character) through the Marketplace.

Invest-Gamer is looking for potential game projects that will allow them to dive into the hard-core epic world while making a profit. Once they got any NFT Hero though buying Hero box in Heroes of the Land's Marketplace, they could join different game modes such as Game battle (PvE, PvP, Clan vs Clan, Tournament/ Guilds war), summon new Heroes, upgrade Hero statistics, land conquering, construction building, farming & hunting.

Then the game has Investors in the Lord character, who are knowledgeable, have a rich background of projects so far, quick to grasp market trends. These investors who have money but do not have much time on playing games, the quickest way is to obtain NFT Land and afterward, they could begin the process of receiving long-term passive income from Workers and Heroes who live in their land. The Lord also has special power in launching the war to expand their territory, when they successfully registered the new land by attacking NPC, they can sell this asset on Marketplace to maximize profits.

Noticeably, you can join the game in 3 roles at the same time. Thanks to this, you have multiple ways to earn multiple profits, even triple than usual GameFi.

Heroes of the Land Main token

HOL Token: HOL is the main token of the game Heroes of the Land, developed on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) technology platform, according to BEP-20 standards. The structure of BSC allows players to develop on decentralized application dApps – exchange of P2P tokens without intermediaries. Currently, BSC is compatible with EVM and combined with Metamask wallet, Defi Trust Wallet, Imtoken. Users can transfer ETH to BSC with fast speed and 20 times lower fees than Ethereum. Currently, the token allocation has a total of 2,000,000,000 HOL but has not been launched yet. More information about HOL tokens will be announced through the official Heroes of the Land social channels.

Ruby Token: This token is unlimited, used in-game, and is received through daily quests in-game such as Resource mining, PvE, PvP, Clan vs Clan,... RUBY tokens are used to upgrade the Heroes and Land statistics, craft items.

The burning of HOL and Ruby tokens is required for almost all in-game activities. Along with the growth of the community, the demand for two tokens will increase. Consequently, their value will be stable over time. With their anti-inflation mechanism, we can ensure the investment of early investors.

The talented development team can make the dream game come true

Heroes of the Land is formed and developed by experts who have experience in the field of Blockchain technology and Game development:

Nhan Nguyen, CEO & Co-founder of Heroesoft Inc came from a famous global software company and had a deep knowledge of the Blockchain technology; Dung Nguyen, COO of Heroesoft Inc had 10+ years as a Game Publishing Director; talented and experienced development team are all come from popular companies. Before Heroesoft Inc entered the Blockchain field, they had been involved in many action mobile games for the worldwide market and formed nearly a hundred online and offline games

Also in the early stage, they luckily have strong backers support them, such as Kyber Venture, Raptor Capital, Tomo Chain, HUB Global...

Hence, Heroes of the Land has enough potential to become a complete and quality long-life game cycle product in the NFT game market from now on.

Chicago, February 17, 2022 - Accursed Share announces the auction of the Master Series, the first NFT collection by photographer-to-the-stars Frederic Auerbach, starting on February 17. To participate, you must be in possession of a Process Series NFT from the Auerbach collection. Mint here.

“For me, NFTs are about capturing motion and emotion,” says Swiss-American photographer Frederic Auerbach. “The dynamic NFTs in my collection for Accursed Share are a kind of living art, they tell the story –in pictures– of how I found my way towards each Master photo of five very different stars: Natalie Portman, Sharon Stone, Mike Tyson, Zendaya, and Benedict Cumberbatch.”

Auerbach was on a train to Paris the very day he graduated from art school in his native Switzerland. “I knew I wanted to be a fashion photographer. I was always fascinated by the exchange between the unique character of individuals and fashion as a measure of time.” It's a tension Auerbach has always sought to capture in his portraits. 

In Auerbach's view, NFTs are especially suited to show the constructive craft of the photographer, which is why this project is structured through five sets of Process photos culminating in respective Masters, each of which includes its own set of unique editions.

For the Master Series, each celebrity — Zendaya for Flaunt; Cumberbatch for GQ; Tyson for Haute Living; Stone for Madame Figaro and Portman for Dior — will have their own NFT set, including: 

i) the high-res digital photo NFT of the Master (one per star); 

ii) a dynamic NFT highlighting different aspects of the Master photo by displaying various edits of the image; 

iii) a high-res and autographed print of the Master photo (one per star), and 

iv) a 1/1 video NFT of the behind-the-scenes interview detailing Auerbach's creative approach to each shoot (one per star), from Process to Master.

Most remarkable is the dynamic NFT, powered by Accursed Share's proprietary smart contract, which highlights different aspects of the Master photo every few hours. It is but one way in which the ambitious NFT production studio and accelerator is pushing the boundaries of cryptoart. In referring to Accursed Share's platform, currently in development, CEO John Connor says: “Our purpose is to unlock the creative potential of smart contracts for millions of digital artists by allowing them to make dynamic NFTs without the need for a developer.”

Access to HeadlessDAO

Owning an NFT from Auerbach's Process Series, currently minting until the auction of the Master Series starts on February 17, imparts access and voting rights to HeadlessDAO, an art innovation engine supporting projects that explore the NFT as a new art medium. 

The Master Series Auction

Between February 17-21, Accursed Share will be hosting the Master Series Auction. Bidding will start at 0.5 ETH on the Accursed Share webpage. Five Master NFT suites, one per star, will be auctioned in parallel. 

The top buyer among the five will also win a photo session with Frederic Auerbach in Los Angeles. The Master photo of that session will also be made into an NFT. 

Award-winning mycologist and writer Merlin Sheldrake is an expert on the social networks of fungi. He is the author of “Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, and Shape Our Futures”, a universally acclaimed bestseller that explores how fungi sustain life on earth via symbiotic relationships established through an underground communication network known as of the Wood Wide Web. 

“There is a fundamental affinity between fungal organisms and the emergent properties of web3,” says John Connor, CEO of Accursed Share. “Plants and fungi engage in sophisticated trading strategies, striking compromises and resolving dizzyingly complex trade-offs. This astonishing cooperation inspired this unique collection of scientifically and blockchain inspired NFT artwork showing symbiotic rootscapes as they've never been seen before”. Sheldrake used a proprietary scanning technique to obtain the unprecedented images for it.

Sheldrake's NFT project is a fourway collaboration between himself, Accursed Share, and Algorand – the carbon-negative blockchain on which the collection will be minted — and the Wilmore Academy, an NFT marketplace furthering research-based initiatives. Part of the project's proceeds will go to support Sheldrake's research into the decentralized problem-solving ability of fungal networks.

Minting

The NFT drop launching Sheldrake's unique collection will begin at 5pm CST on February 22, on Accursed Share's webpage.
