Apeiron Updates: Dev Report April 2024
Hi doods! April showers have brought us some flowers, and now we’re approaching the merry month of May, so today we have a dev report to share! This Dev Report will cover what happened in April. Before we dive in, we have a few reminders:
The Open Beta PvP leaderboard 2 is ending on May 10th 10am UTC - in just eight days! Those who reach Platinum rank will be eligible for rewards. We've also made some bug fixes to the latest PvP version; expect a final major PvP patch to go live before the end of this season.
Lastly, if you missed it in last week’s blog, Anima Airdrop Points distribution info is available now here. Check it out to see how much AP you’ve earned.
Community:
First thing first, Apeiron’s Discord server was hacked on April 27th at 4am HKT. Within the hour, one of our incredible Overseers realized what had happened and swiftly took back control. Our Ronin brethren also noticed and got the word out to help our community avoid any boodish activity. We’re grateful to everyone for stepping up to resolve the issue as quickly as we could.
Many of our channels were deleted in the course of the hack. We’ve taken this as an opportunity to restructure the Discord as well as to install exceptional preventative measures to make sure this type of thing doesn’t happen again. Rest assured that the safety of our community is of paramount importance to us. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the hack. Stay vigilant, doods!
The Apeiron Nova Tournament
For most of April, our Overseers were busy organizing the Nova Tournament. And it was a great success for both conferences! There was a lot of stuff that went on behind the scenes to get this event up and running, but we’re super happy with the way it played out. There was some awesome Apeiron gameplay on showcase from some amazing creators. Big congrats again to 1437 and Ralo on their victories! If you would like to read more about the results, read more about the results from the East and West Conferences.
Meet the Makers!
Right after the Nova tournament, we decided we wanted to host a casual event for community members to play against the Makers of Apeiron - just for a bit of chill fun. Many matches came down to the slightest differences in decks and though originally scheduled to be a 2 hour event, the event lasted over 5 hours and community members DID NOT want to stop playing! Overall, this turned out to be a very successful event and we plan to host many more in the future!
SEABW - Apeiron in Thailand!
From April 24- 25, our very own Lorekeeper - Frank Cheng, Apeiron co-founder and CEO, arrived in sunny Bangkok, Thailand for the Southeast Asia Blockchain Week. At the event, Apeiron operated a booth where people could play games and earn Apeiron goodies, including the ever-popular dood plushies!
This was all with the help from our dedicated Thai OG holders, so we’d like to give a special thanks to Phil, Hin_us (who came all the way from Malaysia!!), Tanbod, Taetae, Bbounce, Mheepanda, lm4, and 84994luaP!
During the event, over a hundred plushies and cushions were given out to participants. All they had to do was simply have fun, complete quests, get stamped, and a cute dood plushie would snuggle right into their arms~ There were some players who got very lucky and won plushies for the entire family!

Relics expedition + Relic Forge and Reforge
For those who have read our previous article, you know that we are soon going to have a Relic Expedition on our Marketplace allowing our players to stake their Apeiron NFTs and get the chance to win Relic NFTs. Relics give powerful passive enhancements. Our web3 team is currently working on the forging system for the Relic NFTs, so that in the future players can attach their Relics onto their Planet NFTs, and trade them on the Marketplace together with the Planets.
Check out this cool Relic related concept art: 👀
Apostle Bounties
We are working on a new system where players can put bounties for certain types of Apostles on the Marketplace, and other people can “claim” those bounties for the price you set.
For example, if you want an Apostle with three certain skills and that has an IV of 80 or more, you can put a bounty out on the Marketplace, and wait for someone else to claim it. When it’s claimed, the person claiming it will get the bounty reward that you set and you will get your sweet sweet Apostle. Sounds both rootin’ and tootin’!
Artifact Flavor Text
Apeiron is not just an action RPG; building a world with stories has always been part of the Apeiron plan. To show you more glimpses of our doody world, look out in the future for flavor text scattered around the in-game world space. It could be hiding anywhere, so keep your eyes peeled for lore tidbits to uncover the intricate inner workings of the godiverse. 💫
Main Story Mission!
It’s almost a wrap! We're doing some final touches here and there with the dialogues to ensure everything is set for Season 3. Over the course of the last few months, our enthusiastic team has crafted a compelling storyline that will unfold throughout the season’s duration. And now, players should brace themselves for unexpected twists that will deeply immerse them in the ever-expanding godiverse populated by different gods and godlings!
Dungeons. Dungeons? DUNGEONS!!
Besides a heavy focus on the narrative direction for Apeiron, our commitment here at Foonie is to provide a challenging gameplay experience for all players. As most of you are aware by now, when S3 comes, PvE will once again be reintroduced - yay! With the core dungeon difficulty parameters adjusted and the game loop system completely redesigned and operating seamlessly now, all that’s left is refining game balance…how hard could that be, right?
Hot Spring System
Moreover, we're integrating a hot spring system that not only enriches the lore but also introduces new dynamics to gameplay. When your godling character is feeling famished or in need of a boost of HP, head on down to this hotpot! For a delicious meal. Or so you might hope…
MORE!
So the PvE dungeon is almost ready BUT it doesn't mean we’re going to be taking any breaks. Currently, we’re crafting the next set of challenges for our dare-devil godlings. This includes the introduction of new mini-bosses and the development of new skills for players to choose from, for both godlings AND Apostles. There’s much, MUCH more in the works for Apeiron~
Stay tuned. And for now, check out this latest story about a far far away Gigas planet → Juggy Juggy Choo Choo
