‘Wolf Game’ Halted After Solana Relaunch Prompts Backlash

Wolf game was first launched in 2021 and collected a die-hard player community during his four-year lifetime in both Ethereum MAINNET and Eventually Layer-2 network Explosion. But players are not happy with last week’s 2.0 -year -old SolanaWith some who say that the move destroyed everything they had noticed for years because of new “confusing” mechanics.

In response, Wolf Game 2.0 was stopped on Monday, the liquidity was removed from the recently launched Solana -Token and the CEO behind the game said that he was taken.

When playing the original Wolf Game experience, players can have a sheep or Wolf NFT. Those with a sheep could passively farm woolen token, while it was the task of the wolves to plunder this income. Wolf players could even steal the sheep of other players-with all this on the chain, of course.

This unique mechanic and crypto-native gameplay loop led it to collect a bustling community, and ultimately as a game publisher Pixel Vault acquiring The competition in August 2023 for an unknown sum. A year later, Wolf Game migrated From Ethereum MAINNET to Layer-2 Network Blast, which came in the middle of a major Airdrop farming push.

On Wednesday last week, Wolf Game announced that his new token was on Solana Live and presented ‘Wolf Game 2.0’, who claimed to have expanded the Token utility through new in-game mechanics. However, it was not well received.

Players found the re -devised version of the game “confusing“Immediately Lack of explanation For his mechanics from his developers. A player said they had it ‘No idea what’s happening‘With pseudonymous Wolf Game CEO, Gfunk says that explanations would come later. In the meantime, a member of the community is mentioned Farmerpiddy took the cloak to explain How the new game works.

The new gameplay loop asked players to burn their wolf, sheep, land and other NFTs for which they had ground in the evolution of the previous game. But by doing this, players were not reimbursed with a 1-from-1 version of the burned assets. Gamers would earn new in-game assets such as ‘Shep’s Kiss’, which can be used in mini games.

“What is Shep’s Kiss? You ask us to burn our wolves, sheep, countries and other assets,” dissatisfied community member Digitual Optimyst written On X, formerly Twitter. “Why would you destroy something with a strong, loyal community – something built around Shep’s vision, the original white paper and the sensation of risk and reward?”

Moreover, the 2.0 resistance did not include the Valley Game 2.0, an improved version of a popular mini game that was lashed by the official X account in September last year.

The return became too loud on Monday, causing the game to lead exhausted and gfunk twice claim to have “kicked. “Gfunk did not respond DecryptThe request for comments.

The official X statement said that Gfunk collaborated with the farm council to find out the next steps. The farm council, sometimes shortened to FHC, is a group of players and wool holders who were nominated Via the Wool Governance System. By becoming a member of the council, individuals have the chance to have their say about coming changes in the game.

Several members of the Farmhand Council have claimed through Discord that they have not seen any proposal of the changes. Another member, Johnstargaryen, said that the council only saw the new version of the game a week before the rollout, with “several people” who expressed worries that it should not launch.

Now gamers are calling for a community takeover or CTO to breathe new life into the game.

“I have never seen tradition for a CTO since Pudgy Pinguins,” Pseudonymous Crypto Venture Capitalist Beanie said on x. “The best part is that Wolf Game is Art CC0. Great opportunity for an aspiring Dev to come in and immediately get the support of many people, including me.”

CC0, also known as Creative Commons Zero, means that his illustrations are in the public domain, which means that it is freely used and commercialized – NFT projects such as Moonbirds chose this model In 2022. This means that a reboot of a Wolf Game could officially use illustrations without the need for a formal acquisition, while the game assets on the chains are compiled and can therefore be used in other apps.

For now, the Wolf play team claims that it listens to its community, will restore burnt assets and works on the “next steps” for the title.
