Why this game in Early Acccess?
The foundations of the game are going to be ready for early release with some initial game modes. However as it's still quite early we invite the community to vote, shape and help balance elements of the game as we grow it over time. The long term goal is to have a wide selection of well calibrated game modes as well as a future single player story mode which players will get a taste of in the Early Access through a prologue

We expect the game to be in Early Access for a year, at which stage our goal is to release the final version with the full story mode campaign and console cross platform multiplayer.

How is blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency used in this product?
A crypto wallet is generated for all users and assets are stored and represented on the blockchain. When an asset is purchased from the store or obtained through the progression system, it is created on the blockchain. The blockchain is then utilised through our unique skillstaking protocol to delegate voting power inside the game to players.
What utility does this bring to the product?
The blockchain integration allows token holders to interact with players inside the game through our skillstaking website (external to the game). Players who engage in ranked gameplay have their ranks published to the blockchain, where ARCAS token holders can then view and stake players in order to earn. In the process of doing so players are delegated voting power inside the game to vote on features and changes which the game developers propose.
Does this product require me to connect an external wallet? What wallets does this product support?
No, the Arcas Champions game generates wallets for all players automatically tied to their in-game ID and there is no need to connect an external wallet.
Can I use the product without interacting or engaging with blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency?
No, assets are stored on the blockchain as the baseline database of the game and therefore all players will be utilising it. That being said there is no need to understand blockchain technology and the experience is familiar to any gamer.
