Over the past few weeks we received a lot of feedback from the community on the existing mining mechanic, based on all your suggestions we have devised a way to make it less of a chore and a lot more fun for players.

These zones are defined circular areas (refer to UI) which spawn and disappear around the player’s location. This is designed to make mining more accessible a...

Almost every game today be it PC, console or mobile has some element of multiplayer gameplay. This leads to the formation of online communities around the game. In some cases, they are welcoming and help players learn, grow and socialize with like-minded gamers while some are hostile and a hotbed for trolling.

PC Games such as Warcraft and League of Legends have their own cult followings with tournaments that have prize pools of millions of dollars.

We recently closed the Delta T alpha and it’s been a difficult decision to go offline. We never expected the kind of response we got and neither did we know how difficult it would be to pull the plug on the alpha. Now that the dust has finally settled and the Delta T alpha has come to a close, we can take a look at the big question, how well did the alpha perform?

The alpha was played in over 81 countries

This was a shocking statistic for the entire...

Topics :

Discovering a great game on Playstore and iOS appstore has become an increasingly frustrating experience due to the lack of filters and curation. One of the USP’s of the appstores on launch was the fact that even small time developers could get an equal share of the opportunity. However, now a few developers have the clout and the budgets to wipe others into obscurity.

Mobile appstores are becoming a dumping ground of reskins and poorly thought out casual games. The ‘Fre...
