Asphodel Prologue Playtest Rewards, Part One: The Mark
A total of 347 players received the Sacred Mark from this playtest. Anyone who had at least one Taruchi who ascended will have it.
The mark will unlock some cosmetic customization features on mainnet, and other features in @asph0d37 and @kamigotchiworld further down the road. It will never be available again and is soulbound. Only the 347 winning wallets received this reward.
You will be able to check if you were Marked in the mainnet app, but you can be confident you have it on your wallet if you beat the game.
Coming next; part two, the core competition rewards. These will be announced in a few hours.
we're likely the only startup, possibly the only company, with a comprehensive thesis on how our alternate realities emerge. we've watched startups come and go, all failing to answer the question of why
why build in this way. why go through all the trouble of building fully onchain, hosting our games under sovereign state. why design under the harshest tech constraints, the most brutal operational environment known to gaming. we stand in a graveyard
we spent 4 years thinking about the problem and built the most absurd onchain game most have never heard of. @kamigotchiworld proved out our thesis that permanence invites capital
now we're developing our worlds on the most premium virtual real estate known to humankind. because now is the time to build on Ethereum, the sacred ground of sovereign tech. the $350B capital base that everyone has heard of. excited to see you all at launch
The @asph0d37 whitepaper is now live.
We've been working on this project for 4 years, but this is the first time I've explained what Asphodel actually is.
You should read it. Or maybe you should have an agent read it for you.

GM.
The @asph0d37 playtest turned out to be a very thorough trial of our systems... we had 48k mints/rerolls, 33k duels, and 706 festivals in total.
That means 706 Marked Taruchi....
(Also, our infra crashed at least 5 times. Probably more. We didn't track that one.)
The @asph0d37 Prologue playtest event has now closed. The winners will be announced next week.
The content competition will remain open for another 48 hours, until 4pm UTC on Sunday.
Thanks for playing. The full game is coming to mainnet in June.
The devs from @asph0d37 are joining my stream tomorrow!
I will be talking with Velas & Urco about:
→ How Prologue was built
→ Current meta insights
→ Building FOCG on Ethereum mainnet
See you tomorrow!🔥
GM. 4 days left until the end of the @asph0d37 playtest.
Currently 'DIP' is leading the pack with 33 festival wins. That's a very good number of festival wins. I wonder if anyone will try a serious challenge?
(Remember, you only need to ascend once for a permanent Mark!)
The @asph0d37 playtest has been extended, and will now run for 1 extra week until the 29th May.
We did this both because players kept asking for it, and because we want more time to refine our matchmaking systems!
The in-game competition and content competition will run for an extra week alongside the playtest.
for those unfamiliar with @asph0d37, we make onchain games. actual onchain games meant to outlast us. ones with fully decentralized state logic
we're doing something quite bold with Asphodel's Prologue. we're building a game meant to live on the Ethereum L1: humanity's most premium virtual context
it will be the first of its kind. and if done correctly, it'll outlast civilization in a meaningful way
come be a part of some neat history. the immutable ledger will vouch for just how early you were 🙂↕️
The @asph0d37 playtest has begun. It will run for one week.
As well as a permanent mainnet item for Asphodel and @kamigotchiworld, there's $3333 in rewards available, split between in-game goals and a content competition.
Start playing at the link below!
The @asph0d37 public playtest will open on Friday, May 15th at approximately 4PM UTC.
It will run for 1 week, and will be free and open to everyone. It will take place on the Sepolia testnet.
There will be an in-game reward for all players who successfully complete the playtest and survive the Festival of Consecration. This reward will follow you to mainnet and to @kamigotchiworld.
There will also be $3333 USDC in incentives available, split between in-game rewards and a content competition. If you want to compete for these rewards, start early!
Full documentation and details will be available closer to launch.
polishing the @asph0d37 prologue more and more daily. thanks to the people testing rn for all the feedback :)
there's a level of animation and visual flair present now that we never got to add to @kamigotchiworld. makes me want to go back and add more animations....
