Sky Strife's next persistent playtest, Season 0.1, will run from January 8-30 on the @redstonexyz Holesky testnet.
During this period, you can compete in matches, create your own, and earn 🔮.
🪐 Dark Forest Arena
Dark Forest is an MMORTS where players battle each other in a zk-SNARK-shrouded galaxy to conquer planets.
On December 31, @d_fdao relaunched Dark Forest Arena, hosting a speedrun competition where you compete to capture a target planet in the shortest amount of time.
The competition will last 2 weeks, and the highest-scoring players will earn prizes.
👾 Tarochi

Tarochi will soon begin their next playtest (Season 1) in their Discord.
Season 1 will bring a host of new features to the game, including PVP battles, a liquid in-game currency, and the ability for players to trade game state.
🐉 Force Prime Heroes
Force Prime Heroes is a fantasy game created by @ForcePrime_io during the @ohayo_dojo Holiday Game Jam Hackathon.
In Heroes, you'll be tasked with defeating a creature known as "The Bone Dragon" in a PVE battle.
Force Prime Heroes is now playable on Windows, but the team will launch a browser version and host a tournament in the coming days.
🏜️ Aether Sands
@Aether_Sands is an open-world game developed by k0 Labs.
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic desert, where players need to rebuild civilization by managing resources, extracting water, and defending a tree known as a "Temple."
Aether Sands is set to hold their second public playtest sometime in mid-January.
